We all know it's cold outside.  Some kids just love playing outside in this stuff and others would rather be inside.  But if you are a parent of said child who loves to play outside, that can get really old really fast.  And with the holidays coming up, and a lot of time off from school, you might find yourself and your kids with nothing to do for an extended period of time.

THERE IS A SOLUTION FOR BORED KIDS IN THE WINTER

Check out this great indoor playground!  It's located in Edina, and called Edinborough Park, so it is about an hour drive from St. Cloud with good road conditions.  It will be a little longer if the roads are a bit sketchy.

THERE ARE THINGS FOR ADULTS TOO

What's even better about this place is that it isn't just for kids.  It's for big kids too with things like Pickleball courts, a lap pool and a track.  There is even a fitness center too.  Plus all the fun stuff an indoor playground would have to offer.

One drawback is that if you are planning on any of the above things, other than the playground, you do need to plan ahead.  They do require reservations for some of those options.

The playground, or playpark, is perfect for kids who would love to work off some energy.  And it's geared just for them!
