In North Texas, we’re used to the ebb and flow of the weather, but our summer heat can be unbearable. While it’s easy to turn to indoor fast-food play places, Frisco has parents covered with a variety of open-gym play spaces where we can sit and watch our children play in a safe, clean environment comfortably indoors.
The footwork of costs, age appropriateness, and hours has been done here so that you can reap the benefits! If we missed your favorite indoor open play space, please share below in the comments!
