Why I like it: I can sit and let my kids run in an enclosed area for however long they need to burn some energy.
Location: Get Air Syracuse- 7687 Frontage Road Suite #4 Cicero, NY 13039

Why my kids like it: My kids love it because it has trampolines and a surf board, and a ball pit.
Why I like it: It is another way for the kids to burn off a lot of energy during the winter months, it is reasonably priced for two hours of jumping time. Plus, I can jump with the kids.
Location: Baldwinsville Public Library- 33 East Genesee Street, Baldwinsville, NY 13027

Why my kids like it: They like playing in the children's area with the blocks, stuffed animals and trains. They also have attended some special story programs for various holidays, as well as the summer program.
Why I like it: My kids can play and pick out DVDs, books, and make crafts during story time. It's quiet time, but gives them something to do.
Location: Destiny USA-Syracuse, NY
Cost: The mall is free but various stores and places cost money
Hours: Mall hours
Why my kids like it: My daughter loves going to the mall and riding the carousel, as well as the food court, and window shopping with me.
Why I like it: There is so much to do in Destiny, besides shop. There is Wonderworks, and a ropes course, a go kart track, a mirror maze, 5 Wits, several restaurants and various other things. I like bringing my kids to the mall, and letting them run around. Check out the movies there as well.
Location:Billy Beez-Destiny USA, Syracuse, NY
Cost: Varies
Hours: Vary
Why my kids like it: My kids love the trampoline, the cars on the track, the slides, ball pit area and everything else.
Why I like it: I feel comfortable letting my kids run around because they can't get out without an adult. My son races everywhere and just has a blast. There is a toddler area for the little ones, and when my daughter was younger, she would hang out there and have fun.
