Family fun in Fishers Indiana for a day off school

Presidents' Day is tomorrow and the children will be home from school. What will you be doing with your family on this extra day of fun? If you're looking for some ideas, try these suggestions!

Sky Zone Think giant trampolines! This place is amazing and as a bonus it is a great workout. You can even pre-purchase your tickets on-line. http://www.skyzone.com/fishers

Ben & Ari's Video games and pizza from Marco's Pizza will make your kids smile. Your kids will thank you for an afternoon spent here! There is even mini-golf in the summer. Keep your eyes open for a Groupon for a $20 day! http://www.benandari.com/

Pinheads The best and cleanest bowling alley around! On school holidays, you might want to call ahead and reserve a lane. They also have a large arcade so be prepared to tell your kiddos no or to spend a little extra money. http://bowlatpinheads.com/

Hearthstone Have you been here yet? It's a great, cozy little coffee shop with a cafe menu. They also have smoothies, hot chocolate and juices that are great for the kids (and a full bar in the back for the parents.) The atmosphere is very small town and the food is delicious. On a rainy or snowy day, this is a perfect place to go with your children, get a snack and play card games. Take Uno or another family favorite with you and enjoy the setting. http://www.hearthstonecoffee.com/

Library Fishers has a great public library. Spend time finding new books and reading with your children.

Cool River Pizza Tasty pizza and plenty of table fun for the kids. The restaurant provides coloring sheets and a large supply of family-friendly games. You can play a game with your family as you wait for your pizza. Or, call ahead and reserve a table with the very large TV screen and a Wii! http://www.coolriverpizza.com/

Yogurt Paradise Their yogurt is a little creamier than many self-serve yogurt places and they have a large range of toppings. It is usually less crowded than the popular Orange Leaf but just as good! http://www.yoparadisefrozenyogurt.com/

Enjoy your extra day with your children!
