Whatever the weather, heading to an indoor playground is a great way to keep kids active indoors. For West End Toronto parents, there are a handful of indoor playgrounds in the ‘hood, though your options multiply if you’re willing to trek farther east or north. Browse our indoor playgrounds directory for more options.
All the centres we’ve listed here have drop-in play, but hours may be limited to certain days or times of day. Indoor playgrounds are understandably popular for kids’ birthday parties, so be aware that they may be closed at unexpected times. It’s always a good idea to call ahead.
