By Steph Rodriguez

Bring out the inner gymnast in your child and visit one of these fun and interactive indoor play gyms in the Sacramento area. Bouncing, tumbling, climbing and playing around are all encouraged at these open play facilities where kids can truly be kids. Whether its climbing to the tippy top of the padded play structure, doing a cannon ball into a rainbow ball pit or bouncing up and down on trampolines under the careful watch of the play gym's staff members, there is an activity or two for the active little one in your life. Plus, during the colder winter months, these indoor fun centers are the best remedy for restless toddlers to work out all that extra energy in a healthy way.

There is plenty of fun to be had at Wacky Tacky! At this indoor play center there are two different sections for toddlers and kids up to 18 years old.

There is also a multi-level climbing gym to test growing children's abilities to climb and test their mobility in a safe and cushioned environment. Just across the way from the toddler area is where the bigger kids can go to let off a little steam. There is an area where kids can load these cool cannons with soft, squishy balls and shoot them into a central area before climbing through various obstacles like nets, plastic tubes and ending the course by sliding down a long, plastic slide with multiple seats for friends to go down at the same time.
