🏃‍♂️ Top Indoor Play Places in the Triangle for Kids of All Ages

It’s hot out! Luckily the Triangle is packed with exciting indoor play options for families. From ninja courses to immersive playgrounds and trampoline parks, there’s something here for every age — even teens! Here are some of our favorite tried-and-tested indoor spots for energetic kids (and grateful parents).

1. HyperKidz – Durham

If your kids need a place to run wild, HyperKidz Durham is a must. It’s bright, safe, and massive — with zones for toddlers and big kids alike. Think slides, ball pits, climbing walls, and sensory activities all in one space. @NCMomAdventures visited recently and gave it two thumbs up!

📍 1040 International Dr, Durham, NC 27703

2. Urban Air Adventure Park – Raleigh

This isn’t just a trampoline park — it’s a full-scale indoor adventure. Attractions include warrior obstacle courses, climbing walls, a ropes course, and a virtual reality section. It’s especially great for school-aged kids and tweens. Check out @NCMomAdventures’ video tour on Instagram to see the action in full swing.

📍 7810 Poyner Pond Cir, Raleigh, NC 27616

3. Museum of Life + Science – Durham

While most people know this museum for its incredible outdoor dinosaur walk and treehouse village, its indoor science center is just as engaging. Perfect for younger kids and curious older ones alike — it includes hands-on exhibits, sensory-friendly zones, and interactive experiments.

📍 433 W Murray Ave, Durham, NC 27704

4. Rainbow Play of NC – Raleigh

This indoor play area doubles as a working showroom for outdoor playsets, but during weekday hours (10 AM–2 PM), they open the Rainbow Party Room to kids. For just around $7 per child, you get access to a vibrant indoor playroom with swings, slides, and soft surfaces. Adults and children under 2 enter free.

🌈 It’s perfect for preschoolers needing active play in a clean, quiet environment — and easy to include in a random weekday outing.

📍 8820 Westgate Park Dr, Raleigh, NC 27617
