Time for a MUCH-NEEDED Indoor Play Guide! Especially for us San Diegans!
Summer ends and fall hits just to begin to our San Diego HOT season and sometimes beyond-uncomfortable weather. I know the kids here at San Diego Moms Blog would agree that just because it’s uncomfortable, doesn’t mean they don’t have a desire to PLAY! We hope this Indoor Play Guide helps you find more productive and fun ways to get the kids’ extra energy out while it might be too hot to play outside. Not just that, but we’re San Diego! What do we do when it’s raining for more than a day!? Well, hopefully, this list will give you many creative ideas to keep those kiddos occupied!
Make sure to share it with your friends and visit these wonderful locations the next time you need to take an indoor break. A special thank you to Funbelievable, Rockin’ Jump, Gymboree, and all of our other sponsors for making this guide a true resource.

Interactive experiences are a crucial element of learning. Our Museum features four focused program areas: Experimentation (science, math, engineering), Exploration (world cultures, history), Imagination (theater arts, visual arts, music), and Discovery (outdoor space featuring gardens, environmental science, world cultures, arts). All exhibits and programs are designed with the help of museum experts, educators, and childhood development specialists, ensuring a wide range of skill development and concepts that align with California’s Common Core curriculum for science, math, English language arts, visual and performing arts, and social science. Time spent at SDCDM develops crucial life skills like curiosity, confidence, and creativity, which are all qualities that strengthen children’s potential to excel in school, careers, communities, and as parents. We challenge children’s imagination and curiosity through interactive exhibits and hands-on programming. Through play, children have the opportunity for creative problem solving, critical thinking, and hands-on exploration and experimentation in a safe environment where there are no right or wrong answers.
