22 Indoor Activities For Kids in Frederick Md

Last updated on January 24th, 2024

We’ve put together a great list of 22 indoor activities for kids in Frederick Md for those rainy, snowy, or even stifling hot days when you just don’t want to be outside.

These indoor kids activities will keep them entertained, occupied, and happy!

Notably, over the last couple of years in the Frederick, Md area, we’ve endured a LOT of rain!

In addition, there are snow days, school holidays, Christmas break, Spring Break, and Summer Break.

So, when school is out, finding indoor activities for kids is an absolute necessity!

Without a doubt, you probably already have a lot of things lined up for your children.

For example, holiday festivities with the family, sledding with the neighbor kids on snow days, or a trip down to DC during Spring Break.

However, eventually, sometime during each and every break, there will be those familiar two words coming out of our children’s mouths: “I’m bored!”

Therefore, I’ve learned over the years that I need to line up at least a couple of things to do with kids in advance.

As a result, when I hear those words, I will be prepared and I’ll have options.

Here’s our list, with links, addresses and phone numbers to each place.
