Are your kids missing their favorite local play spot? With the state mandated COVID-19 protocols, many play places and venues in metro Detroit and Ann Arbor are offering families time slots that they can reserve in order to keep capacities at a low.
Most of these family-friendly venues have their customers purchase their tickets or times online, wear masks, remain social distanced and more. This is perfect for parents that are still uncomfortable taking their kids to places with a lot of people.
Check out this list to see if your kids’ favorite spot offers private reservations and enjoy a safe afternoon of fun with your kids. Note: Every place is different, so make sure to call or check their websites for their COVID protocols and anything you may need to know before going.
