We live about 25 minutes from Adventure Zone in Duluth, MN. This arcade is located in one of Duluth's most visited spots known as Canal Park. So if you are not into the arcade there are many restaurants and sites to see. The arcade has things for all...
This is a newer indoor playground great for long upper Midwest winters. It is catered toward a younger player, but my son who is 6 still has a great time. My instinct is he will outgrow this location in about a year. They also host birthday parties a...
Tip #1! If you are near a Sky Zone and can at least go 1x per month buy the membership! Day passes are very pricy. I love that for his membership we can bop in for an afternoon or even just a 30 minute session while we need to kill time. This is awes...
This is my neighborhood YMCA. My son attended pre-school here. We are not currently members but will pay for a day pass when family is in town. They have an excellent pool for kids and also run several sports programs.
This is a three star water park experience. I've been to it because it is closest to my house. They do have a wide range of activities. I've heard that the rooms need updating, but I've never spent the night. The hours are limited but it is our only ...
New (they are BACK!) in Superior WI! Finally a Baskin Robbins. In the 80's and 90's we had this fabulous ice cream option in the Mariner Mall.
Unexpected addition to my list. No. No healthy, but a great place to grab an ice cream and maybe some fries. Their APP is a must to save $. And they have great wifi for a working mom.
Sometimes a shopping center is a great place to burn off some energy. And this mall has a food court + small play area. The rides are pretty good and reliable.
Dunkins are everywhere! This recommendation is for party needs. Our local Dunkin made a fresh batch of donuts for my son to bring to his classroom for his birthday.
You can rent a poolside room or even just pay to swim for the day. Great large pool area. You can bring in your own food and drink. And they have a sauna, hot tub and arcade. The hotel also has an attached bar & restaurant. We did this on over Ne...
Great for kids and adults. Offers food and beverages too. Can use bumpers and bowling tools for younger beginners. They have shoe rental and you don't need your own ball. Would also be a fun party!
Bowling, food, drink and arcade. A great location for a birthday party for kids of all ages. Super fun, clean and easy to work with. Shoe rental + all weights of balls for all ages. Can drop bumpers for early bowlers too.
My 6 year old loves duck bowling and the arcade games. The foot is great. Love the flatbread pizza.
And it also has rooms you can rent for parties!

Cute location in Canal Park, Duluth, MN. Fun flavors and awesome atmosphere. Cute photo opportunity too.
We love to go on Wednesday's for a reduced ticket price. You have to pay for parking but it is a fun winter indoor activity. My son loves the interactive activities.
