Indoor PlaygroundsPack socks for everyone before you leave the house. Two of the Indoor Playgrounds in Barrie make adults wear them too: BeyondPlay, inside Bayfield Mall by the Dulux entrance, with a sensory room and pretend-play houses including a grocery store and fire station, and Smart Moves on Bryne Drive, where $9.99 admission gets you a climbing wall that doubles as a periodic table.
Got a toddler? Funvilla on King St runs Toddler Tuesday for ages 1 to 3, with one adult free. Kings & Castles on Bayview Drive adds Valo Climb, an augmented-reality climbing wall, plus a cafe for the grown-ups.
