Inside Activities for Families or Mothers with Young Children

I am a stay-at-home mother of two little ones and I am always looking for different activities to do with them at this time of year (winter, blah!). I have discovered some great places.

The first is called Rumble Tumble in Portsmouth, NH. This is a great place to bring your young ones to play ball, jump, run around, climb and just exercise with other children. There is a great big climbing area (totally enclosed by meshing) with a great big slide to slide down as well. There is a ball court with many balls, ride on vehicles, two mini-trampolines and uneven bars, mazes and so much more! There is even a room for little ones and moms to bring snacks or lunches and a room for the babies to play in as well. Prices are currently $8 per 2 year old and over and $7 for under 2 yrs of age. This is their busy season so they suggest you call to make reservations. Open gym starts at 12:30. They also offer birthday party packages and date nights.

The second is called Junior Gym located in North Hampton, NH. This is a great place to sign-up your young ones to take classes. There are several sessions each year offered various days and times and they are extremely flexible about make-up classes if your little ones are sick or you are unable to make a class on any given week. They build various courses and have various themes throughout the year that are great fun and very different offering a wide variety of exercises, gymastics and just plain old fun activities for the kids to enjoy. They also offer birthday party packages. For more information - visit their website at www.juniorgymnh.com.
