When the summer heat starts to take a toll, and the thought of another sand-covered car ride home from the beach makes you shudder — consider taking the kids to an indoor bounce park.
Metro Detroit has a wide selection of inflatable and trampoline parks. If there are little ones in tow, know that many parks have sectioned off areas for younger kids to safely play. For older kids, there are a number of local adventure parks offering zip lines, intense drops, climbing walls and much more.
