Dearborn Heights Indoor Playground / Playscape – DinoLand Dearborn Heights
26450 Ford Rd, Dearborn Heights, MI 48127, 313-551-3626, mydinoland.com
The first Dinoland location is as fun as the Madison Heights location, but the playscape is not as large.
Clawson Indoor Playground – T&B Play
1068 W 14 Mile Rd, Clawson, Michigan 48017, 248-629-6116, www.tbplay.com
The biggest ball pit in I’ve seen and a wonderful toddler area. T&B is clean and very modern with indoor playground features that rival heavy hitters like Peppa Pig’s World of Play… but… T&B lacks a café and doesn’t have a lot of spaces for parents to sit down. Parking at T&B can be extremely difficult.

Indoor Playgrounds in Metro Detroit / Rochester Indoor Playscape – RARA Recreation Indoor Playscape
500 E Second Street, Rochester, Michigan 48307, 947-886-0007, rararecreation.org
See the large indoor playground at the RARA Recreation building for kids under 12. This 3-level play structure has 3 slides, tunnels, obstacles, and more. A toddler area is separated for children under 3 years. It’s not the biggest (18×32 feet) indoor playground in Metro Detroit, but they pack a lot into the space PLUS it’s the most affordable. The playscape is enclosed so you never have to worry about your child wandering.
