As we find ourselves deep into winter, with the festivities behind us, a rather uneventful season is upon us, leading to quick boredom for kids.
With chilly temperatures preventing outdoor play to expend energy, we often brainstorm ways to keep kids engaged. This cycle repeats annually; each year, we continuously pull out our smartphones and desperately hunt for activities as the children become more lively and our patience dwindles. To aid you in saving time and maintain your sanity, we’ve assembled a list of venues in the Upstate where you can enjoy an afternoon of indoor fun. The list includes options for both younger kids and older tweens and teens. Keep this compilation close as the weeks progress when the excitement of holiday gifts diminishes, the seasonal TV specials come to an end, and kids start acting up after a December of good behavior.
