Hi Moms - I'm getting together with some "old" girlfriends soon and I'd like to find an indoor place where we can all catch up and let the little ones play without having to chase after them too much. The kids ages range from 3 - 12. Someone suggested Chucky Cheese but from experience I know that won't work - too many people and needing to help the kids with certain games. I'm thinking almost like an indoor playspace that has bouncies, climbing structures, open mats, etc....any ideas would be appreciated.

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Ladies - thank you so much for all of your responses. We ended up deciding to meet at one of our houses that was big enough to hold us all. It was perfect - we ordered pizza, everyone brought a little something as well and all the kids played so great together. Which of course gave us all some nice time to catch up!

All I can think of is McDonald's - the food isn't top notch but the kids can run around. You can't bring in other food, but you can sit there for hours without eating if that's what it comes to. You can move tables together sometimes so the parents can all sit together. I think the place spaces are for kids in just those age ranges. If you have some 10 and 12 year olds to go "rescue" a 3 year old who gets a little disoriented in the climbing structures, no parents will have to climb in! There are enough places with visual contact with the parents that the little ones usually have a ball and don't miss you at all. There is one in Westboro next to WalMart and one in Worcester on Route 20 I think. You could probably Google them, or those in the area will know what's close. i don't know what town you live in.

Depending on where you live there is a place in Hopkinton, MA I believe called playtown express and they do have a website, im not sure if it is age appropriate for the older kids but certainly the younger ones! I have a two and three year old and they loved it..Also in Milford at the John Smith Sport Center they have the Zig Zag Zone and a new Pump and Play Playground. They also have a website. I have been to the Zig Zag Zone but not the new play ground and again my kids really enjoyed it. This may be a little more appropriate for the older kids. I belive the place in Hopkinton is $10 and the Zig Zag Zone is $7 for non-members! I hope this helps! Have fun!

Pump-it-up has "jump & play" where you pay per child. Also there is Playtown Express in Franklin or Noodle-Noggin & Bean.

One stop fun in westford is great. My almost 3 yr old loved and older kids will too I think it's $7/child for as long as you want. Check out the website. It was worth the drive, I think! Good luck
