Wintertime Indoor Fun in Cape Girardeau

Winter is here in full force, and while the water parks and walk through zoos may be shut down for the season, there is still plenty of indoor fun to be had in Cape Girardeau for little ones!

Discovery Playhouse is a great spot to spend a chilly afternoon, all cozied up inside this children’s museum.  Your kiddos can splash in the water garden, climb on the fire engine, milk the “cow”, play doctor in the nursery, drive through the bank (with working pneumatic tube system) and much more.  The infant play area is a sunny, shoes-off spot that your littlest ones can explore on all fours, or on two legs – the surface is soft, perfect for new walkers.  Play the day away, entry is $6 for ages 1+!

The Cape Girardeau Conservation Nature Center has a whole day’s worth of hands-on indoor fun!  Aquariums filled with fish and reptiles native to the area invite you to peer inside and see what life is like on the bottom of a lake or stream.  There’s a puppet theatre, an indoor beaver dam and a spot to make crayon rubbings of animal tracks, plus so much more…and entry is free!

The Cape Girardeau Public Library‘s children’s section is a great spot to settle in and play with the gaming system, do a puzzle, read a book and explore the educational games on the computers.  The teen room offers separate space for your older kids to check out the XBox and young adult collection.  A calendar full of programming for all ages helps keep cabin fever at bay, and there are plenty of nice comfy chairs to relax in.

Your kids can run around like crazy at LeBounce and Orange Monkey, both indoor inflatable play spaces with games and more.  LeBounce is geared towards ages 2-8, and Orange Monkey for ages 8+, but both offer indoor space for kids to burn off all kinds of energy!  (Psst….Discovery Playhouse and LeBounce are offering $10 all day passes to both indoor fun spots!)

The weather outside may be frightful, but there is lots of delightful indoor family fun in Cape Girardeau!
