The Klubhouse
92 Cummings Park
Woburn, MA 01801
(781) 937-5582
www.theklubhouse.com
The Klubhouse is a smaller, more intimate project than Imajine That ran by a husband-and-wife team whose aim is to provide a warm respite from the cold winter doldrums. Cleanliness and a small but dedicated staff ensures that The Klubhouse always retains that human touch in its dealings with parents, families and nannies seeking a membership, while the relatively close quarters ensures safety for the children, so long as the parents retain a watchful eye. The Klubhouse is a great place for kids to play.
Jump On In
470 Wildwood Ave.
Woburn, MA 01801
(781) 939-5867
www.jumponinfun.comJump On In isn't a "traditional" indoor playspace for children, but instead an inflatable jungle gym of sorts that offers "open gym" times for young children on a weekly basis, which could work out well for a day out away from the cold. Stressing physical activity early on is important for a child's well-being, which is a great place for Jump On In to contribute, offering huge inflatable slides, castles and trampolines for kids and their parents to enjoy. Jump On In specializes in birthday parties as well, which makes this Woburn location a double threat for an afternoon of fun.
