Toddler Activity Recommendations

lobstadanca · 11-07-2016, 01:34 PM

Looking for things to do with our 22 month old granddaughter this week. Is there a local indoor gymboree type place, safe outdoor playground for young toddlers, story time for children who can't sit still for long, etc., petting farm/zoo open this time of year?

Thanks!

The Imagination Station playground at The Gilford Elementary School. Belknap Mt Road, Gilford. Awesome outdoor playground....totally brand new as of 2015. My kids loved the old one from the time they were 2-3 until early teens.

Childrens Museum in Meredith. Haven't been there in many years since my kids were little, so I don't know how it is now, but it was always entertaining for them back then.

Have fun!

Jump N Joy in Laconia or Krazy Kids in Concord. Both indoor bounce-house type places.

I sincerely appreciate your suggestions. We went to the Gilford public library children's room which was amazing. We will go to the playground when the weather is warmer. Apparently the Children's Museum in Meredith is closed, but thanks for the thought.

Didn't make it to Jump N Joy or Crazy Kids this time, but will definitely check them out!

It does seem like we could use some indoor entertainment activities for young children. Even Funspot is too much for children under age 3.

Thanks again!

Good idea. I recall my kids and grandchildren were always intrigued by boats you could go inside and walk around. I like those boats too. It was a privilege for them to be able to take a nap in the cuddy cabin of our boat.
