indoors with children
Don't say I didn't warn you! Most of these places are hell on earth when you go on a rainy or cold day or when school is off! They are overcrowded, germ-infested and stuffy! That's why most of these indoor spaces are still on my bucket list because I'm avoiding them at all costs! I'd rather take the less travelled approach and go to more unorthodox indoor spaces. Like a train station in the city or a big toy store or anywhere that has space and no admission fee! That's how I like to roll. Always check groupon for deals before you go! Revolve your day around the deal. Always the best way to decide!
