Indoor Activities for Toddlers Near Breckenridge, Colorado

The Breckenridge area is gorgeous and there are miles upon miles of trails to explore…but sometimes you just need the comforts of being indoors. That is a-okay. It’s called balance! We all need it! In our quest to get out of the house with a toddler we have discovered a lot of great indoor activities that are a happy blend of being toddler-focused while also relaxing for the parental unit…

Take a scroll to see some of the ways we get out…of the house with a toddler…

Wild + Free Indoor Play Place...

…is closing its doors on July 20, 2023 and we are all sad about this. It’s an awesome indoor space, please go visit in the next week if you can!

The Art Spot + Frosted Flamingo...

…are a great excuse to get creative indoors [or outside]. At The Art Spot in Silverthorne you can pick up a grab-and-go art project from Frosted Flamingo then take it down the hall to create in the open art space.

Story Time at the Library

…happens multiple times a week at one of three libraries. There is toddler story time with open play after and preschool story time with crafts after. Check the Summit County Library’s website for times and dates.

Mountain Top Explorium...

…is a mix of chidren’s museum and open place space located in Breckenridge. It is a bit spendy but if you plan to be there for a few hours it can be worth the cost. It is open 7 days a week for the summer.

Indoor-ish Bounce House...

…is currently located at the Ice Rink outdoor turf area and available for open play all week. During the winter months it is a weekend activity at the Breckenridge Recreation Center.

Summit County Libraries...

…have three locations and each one has its own schedule of kid-friendly events. They also have open place space for younger kids [yes, I’ve even read a book near a playing toddler!].

Indoor Playground at Breck Rec...

…is great for cold or hot days! The Breckenridge Recreation Center has an indoor playground area with climbing and slides. It’s included with your day pass and is a good way to get the wiggles out.

Pools at the Recreation Centers...

…are accessible with a day pass [kids under 4 are free!]. Both have kid-friendly pool access and slides. I personally prefer to Silverthorne Rec Center kiddy pool but Breckenridge Rec Center is also a great option with more toys available.

Sometimes you just want to stay indoors with your kids…but still need to get out of the house. This is how we keep ourselves sane while also keeping the toddler entertained! There are a handful of great local businesses that are an excellent way to get out and about with younger children who aren’t quite ready to venture deep into the wilderness.
