Winter Indoor Fun: Why Children’s Museums are the Perfect Escape from Winter Blues
November 26, 2025
By the end of December, your kids are climbing the walls. School’s out, it’s freezing, and suddenly “I’m bored!” becomes their new favorite phrase.
That’s exactly why places like The Magic House exist.
Here’s why a visit during Magic House winter break is a lifesaver.
It’s warm, It’s active, and it’s actually fun for parents too.
Finding indoor winter activities for kids that don’t involve screens? A miracle.
At The Magic House, my kids can: climb, slide, build, paint, explore…for hours. And I don’t have to chase them around a playground in 20-degree weather.
The holiday add-ons make it even better
Holiday Magic adds a whole extra layer of fun: Ice Castle climbing, Snow Maze exploring, Story time with Santa and Crafting in the Elves Workshop. It’s one of the best fun winter experiences for families in St. Louis.
It’s play with a purpose
Kids are learning—without realizing it.
Problem-solving? Yes.
Creativity? Absolutely.
Physical movement? Constantly.
And the extended hours? A gift.
From December 19–January 4, you get more time to explore both The Magic House and MADE for Kids. A huge win for parents with kids who have energy to spare.
Beat the cold. Beat the boredom. Beat the winter blues.
That’s what a day at The Magic House does for our family.
