Rain, Rain - Go & Play!
by Jackie Shea
School is out for the summer – but, it’s raining! While children might love to play in the rain, sometimes we grown- ups need to pivot to something indoors. Here are some of our top picks to do with your family when it is raining. DodgeArrows, Millersville This is fun for all ages and conveniently located in Millersville. Family fun or just the kids, this is a must-do activity this summer! Who wouldn’t want to shoot arrows at their friends? No need to worry about safety, these arrows are soft-tipped. Hyperkidz, Crofton Indoor play places are awesome. You pay for a certain block of time (an hour can be plenty) and off the kids go! Everyone is contained, and the staff take cleaning breaks to sanitize the equipment. Play Street Museum, Severna Park Though Play Street Museum is geared toward toddlers and early education, it can be fun for all ages. Imagination comes to life in different scenarios around the interactive space with miniature stores and vehicles. You can also add slime to enhance the experience for the science lovers. Library, Riviera Beach This library branch is brand new! They have a wonderful space and helpful staff. Check their website for activities that include storytime. And, if the sun starts to shine while you’re there waiting out the storm, you are super close to several fun parks such as Downs Park, Fort Smallwood Park, and Lake Waterford!
Bowling It has been around forever, but children still love it. Annapolis Bowl is Maryland’s favorite bowling alley and family fun center. North Arundel Aquatic Center, Glen Burnie Everyone loves water slides! Head on up to the North Arundel Aquatic Center in Glen Burnie. You can pay per session and have fun swimming indoors!
MOM’S NOTE: Tickets for the Aquatic Center sell out quickly, so purchase ahead online!
Ice skating, Odenton Ice skating isn’t just for winter! Venture out to Odenton and visit the Piney Orchard Ice Rink. Dine out Eating out is always fun. Check out some of your Annapolis favorites - the view can be pretty even in the rain and the food is still divine! Our top choice for crabcakes with a view: Carrol’s Creek Cafe – Annapolis’ Waterfront Seafood Restaurant. Added bonus: their entire kitchen is now nut-free!
