The themed areas include a fire station, beauty shop, animal hospital, diner, fishing dock, and grocery market. Yearly memberships or daily passes are available, and prices are cheaper after 4 p.m. Monster Mini Golf Located in Gaithersburg on Gaither Road, Monster Mini Golf has plenty of activities to keep your kids entertained. They can start with a round or two of glow-in-the-dark mini golf and then head to the state-of-the-art arcade. You and the kids can play video games such as Down-a-Clown, Big Bass Wheel, and Jurassic Park. Maybe classic games are more your style, so load up to play some Skee Ball or Air Hockey. If you're wanting the kids to burn off some energy, check out the Laser Maze or Laser Tag. They can also try the Virtual Reality attraction, Ropes Course, or Mini Bowling. Fees are based upon which activities you choose, but it does offer a combination deal if you select one round of mini golf, a $10 arcade card, and either the Laser Maze or Mini Bowling. ZavaZone Found on Southlawn Court, ZavaZone is a multi-attraction indoor facility that includes a trampoline park and ropes climbing course for children age 5 years and older. There are 15 attractions housed within the 30,000-square-foot facility, and admission to the facility gives you access to all of the activities. Kids can dunk a ball on the trampoline basketball court, jump on the pole walk while tethered, or participate in a Ninja Warrior Course. Other popular activities include a Warped Wall, Battle Beam, Giant Slide, and Blackout Tower. Don't let the weather dictate your fun, as Rockville offers several indoor areas where your kids can run around and hopefully wear themselves out. If you have younger children, bring them to an area to encourage creative play, while older children might benefit from group activities where they work up a sweat. No matter what place you choose, your children will forget that the weather is too cold outside. image via pixabay
