5 Places We Are Playing This Winter


Virginia weather is living up to its reputation for crazy weather. We keep switching back and forth from bundling up to peeling off layers and everything in between, but we still try to stay busy entertaining our toddlers. Here are five places where we have been playing recently. 

01. Virginia Zoo: Right now is the perfect time to go to the zoo. It's cold enough that many of the animals are awake and up and about, but not so cold that they are all inside. It isn't overly crowded and there is lots of room to spread out. Something to note, the goat yard is only open on the weekends, and the train isn't running until the spring. 

02. Jerassic Park: Spelled with an E, not a U, when you look it up, you'll find that Jerassic Park is located in front of the Aviation Museum in Pungo. Jerassic Park is a free outdoor park of metal dinosaurs. Print out the scavenger hunt before you go. 


03. Pinboys: Bowling is a great winter activity, and the Kids Bowl Free program makes it so easy to get two games of bowling per day free for kids with just the cost of the shoes. 

04. My Gym VB: We love My Gym Virginia Beach because they offer classes for babies all the way to older kids. They are offering a two week special for only $29 to check out classes. Class offerings range from Ninja classes to gymnastics based classes. 

05. Library: We love our local library, and they are offering classes again. Most of our local libraries have play areas. Spend some time playing, take a class, and check out a book!
