Play Unscripted: Minnesota Weather is Wild—InnerActive Has You Covered!
If there’s one thing you can count on in Minnesota, it’s that you can’t count on the weather. One day, it’s sunny and 60, and the next, we’re digging out from a surprise snowstorm. And don’t even get us started on the springtime rain that turns every playground into a giant mud puddle. But no matter what’s happening outside, InnerActive is here to make sure your little ones have a fun, safe place to play!
Michelle and I recently discovered this amazing indoor playground and have been taking full advantage of it during this unpredictable spring. We wanted to share this cool find with all of you! Great for toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age kids.
InnerActive's indoor play space is designed for kids to climb, build, and explore—without worrying about whether they need a snowsuit or sunscreen. And the best part? The prices are reasonable, so you don’t have to break the bank for a fun day out. Just need to escape the house for a couple of hours? They’ve got you covered. Looking for a go-to play spot all year long? InnerActive offers both monthly and annual memberships that make it easy to pop in whenever the weather (or your kid’s energy level) demands it.
InnerActive is open 364 days a year from 7:30 AM to 7:30 PM—closed only on Christmas Day! With two locations in Mounds View and Plymouth, MN, you’re never too far from an indoor adventure. Feel free to bring your own food or have it delivered, and if you need a quick snack, vending machines are available on-site. InnerActive is a self-use, self-clean facility; just clean up your area before you leave—table wipes and brooms are provided to make this a breeze!
And for all our homeschool families—Thursdays are for you! Every Thursday from 9 AM to noon, InnerActive offers a special discounted homeschool play time. It’s a great way to get the kids moving, meet other families, and take learning beyond the books.
Pricing is simple. At the time of this post, a day pass costs $13.25 to $15.25 per child, with two adults included per pass. Monthly memberships range from $31 to $36 per child, and annual memberships are available for $244 to $281 per child, depending on location. They also offer party rentals, making it the perfect spot for birthdays and celebrations! Check out current pricing here.
So whether it’s too cold, too hot, too rainy, or just one of those weird Minnesota weather days, come play at InnerActive. It’s always the perfect forecast inside!
See you soon!
