Is the weather outside frightful? Don’t worry! We’ve got you covered (no pun intended!) with these 5 ideas for indoor activities on Cape Cod with kids:


Location: Ten Pin Eatery in the Cape Cod Mall

Cost: varies 

Hours: Sunday-Thursday 9am-12am, Friday-Saturday 9am-1am

Why my kids like it: laser tag, escape room, arcade games, bowling, great food

Why I like it: My husband can play arcade games with the kids while I enjoy some quiet time reading my emails at the table while waiting on our food. 


Location: Michael’s Kid’s Club on Saturday’s 

Cost: $2-$5

Hours: 10am- 12pm

Why my kids like it: My kids love making something new each time we stop in for a class.

Why I like it: It gets us out of the house, the kids have fun, and I don’t have to clean up! 


Location: Library Storytime

Cost: FREE

Hours: vary by library - morning hours

Why my kids like it: my kids like seeing other kids, singing songs and hearing new stories 

Why I like it: Its fun to see the kids socialize, I get to talk to other moms, and my kids have to listen to someone other than me!


Location: Public Skate

Cost: varies by rink $2-$8 plus rentals

Hours: vary by rink, Barnstable Recreation offers public skating almost everyday

Why my kids like it: Ok, I have to admit that I’m not much of a skater and am waiting til my kids are a little older for lessons til we take advantage of public skate times, but any kid who likes skating would think public skate is a good time.

Why I like it: I’m all about getting kids out of the house and moving. Getting all the physical activity your kids need in the winter can be tricky, public skate is a great way to get them tired out!


Location: Color Me Mine

Why my kids like it: My kids love painting. It’s also fun to use the items they make.
