One of my personal favorites is Adventure Peak. It’s located at Edinborough Park, 7700 York Ave. S., Edina. It’s a large indoor playground (nearly one-acre) with enclosed climbing areas and giant slides. There’s also an infatable bounce house and a separate toddler area for the younger ones. Adventure Peak is a shoe-free environment and socks MUST BE WORN on the equipment. After the kids are done playing at Adventure Peak, they can meander over to Great Hall, a large gym area with balls, scooters, etc. and a large inflatable bounce house. There is a child fee of $5.50.
