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.

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.
Baskin-Robbins
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.

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.
