Beat the Memphis Heat: The Coolest Places to Play Inside
Its no secret, Memphis gets scorching hot in the summer (sometimes dangerously so). Sometime around early July, outdoor fun loses its luster and anywhere inside with air-conditioning (or water) is a big win. But sometimes it’s hard to feel inspired and creative with what to do with your kids in the middle of summer. It can often feel like there is nothing left to do!
With that in mind, we here at Memphis Moms have pulled together a list of the coolest inside places in and around Memphis to beat the summer heat with kids. So get INSIDE and get playing! There are plenty of dun things to do indoors that you and your kids will love doing!
