Activities for Kids

5 Indoor Tree Houses to Climb

Does your kid want to be Tarzan or Jane? Head to one of these spots with big, faux trees that kids can scurry around in.

Your little monkey loves to climb, climb, climb. When he or she gets tired of scurrying up the ladders at the playground, head to an indoor tree house. You’ll find big, faux trees made just for kids at special spots around town, and they’re well worth the trip. Click through our album to see where you can make like Tarzan and Jane — swinging, climbing, sliding and playing the day away.

The TreeHouse Play Space

The name of this spot says it all. The large multi-level tree house gives kids a variety of twists, turns and activities to choose from -- and parents are welcome to join in (yep, the climbing structures are big enough!). Cruise down the triple slide, shoot hoops on the mini basketball court, or look over the "jungle" from the tip-top. Lucky for parents, there's a cafe onsite, and it serves sandwiches, soups, juice and more. We love the pay-once-and-play-all-day policy, which allows parents to drop in and out of the space all day.
