It’s always a good idea to have a list of indoor activities in your back pocket. That way, you and your family will have a wide variety of choices when it comes to your days out. To help provide some inspiration for your next family fun day, we asked TGS parents about their favorite kid-friendly indoor activities in Williamson County. Here’s what they had to say.
1. Brentwood Skate Center
Looking for a space where your child can burn off energy indoors? The Brentwood Skate Center is popular among Williamson County families. This center features themed skate nights, special events, birthday parties, and a family skate day. Your child will love the arcade games, concessions, and other fun amenities. The Brentwood Skate Center has something for the entire family, no matter their skating ability!
2. The John P. Holt Brentwood Library
Following one of its core values, “illumination,” The Brentwood Public Library values resources, programs, and tools to foster imagination and lifelong learning. There is no better place to expand your child’s perspective than a library. Check out the calendar of events to see the upcoming activities that you and your child can do together. We hear the Preschool Story Time is a hit!
3. Defy
Does it ever feel like your little one is trying to disregard gravity? At Defy, they can make that desire a reality! Give your child the experience of a lifetime at this extreme air sports park. It offers foam pits, trampolines, zip lines, battle beams, dodgeball, and more, all of which provide the unique feeling of weightlessness as part of the fun. For the younger children, Defy offers Kid Jump, where the fun doesn’t have an age limit.
4. We Rock the Spectrum
Brought to Franklin, Tennessee by the Komarnitsky family, We Rock the Spectrum (WRTS) is an indoor children’s sensory gym that promotes an inclusive play environment for children of all abilities. This gym features an indoor play structure, crash pads, a zip line, sensory-based toys and equipment, a calming room, a crafts area, and so much more. This special gym is designed to appeal to all of the senses in order to promote physical, social, and emotional growth in all children.
5. Monkey’s Treehouse
A life skills gym for children, Monkey’s Treehouse is a safe place to explore, climb, and slide on a multi-room treehouse. Your child will love the town village, car and train tables, and puppet theater. Other favorite toys found at Monkey’s Treehouse are dollhouses, dinosaurs, and a lighted magnetic table! For the toddlers in the group, Monkey’s Treehouse features a section just for them, offering soft blocks, sensory objects, a toddler slide, and other age-appropriate activities.
6. Franklin Family Entertainment Center

The Gardner School Loves Williamson County Families
It’s important to The Gardner School that we enrich students’ experiences inside and outside of the classroom. That’s why we love partnering with parents to share ideas, inspiration, and support as they guide their little ones through new experiences.
