Rain or heat in the forecast? Energy to spare? Portland-area indoor play spaces give kids room to climb, dig, tumble and pretend — and give your couch a break. Find a new favorite below, from toddler play cafés and indoor sandboxes to gymnastics gyms and adventures for bigger kids.
Before you go: Check the venue’s current calendar for open play hours, reservations and private-party closures. Bring socks for everyone; some venues require grippy socks or their own brand.
