"Where can I take my kid and not have to be outside?" is a question I frequently ask. And yes, this question is coming from a lifelong Girl Scout. Sometimes, I just want to enjoy the beauty of the HVAC systems. Whether its freezing or sweltering and you can't be bothered with the sunscreen, hats, coats, gloves, or just any of it; these are the indoor spots to take your kid to play the day away. (or at least kill an hour!)
