This Indoor Fun Directory is Sponsored by 3D Sideouts.
Living in McHenry County the weather keeps us cooped up indoors quite a bit. That’s not always ideal when you have children. We put together a list of all the fun indoor places in McHenry County to keep your children occupied. This list includes bowling, trampoline/inflatable parks, indoor playgrounds, arcades/gaming/escape rooms, ice and roller skating rinks, sports complexes, museums, and movie theaters.
Did we miss your favorite below? Are you a business/provider that would like to be added to our directory? Drop a comment below, and we will gladly add!
