As I start to feel the heat of summer coming, I automatically start arranging my backyard to center around all the summer fun we'll be having outside. There's no debating that the feeling of summer and the benefits of sunlight have such a positive effect on us. However here in Ontario California, as is the case for many other Southern California cities, there are days that are just too hot and we need a cool place to take our kids (and ourselves) and still enjoy our summer days. Below are 7 locations to plan our cool indoor fun for toddlers, young children and teenagers. 
1. Kids Empire
130 W. G St. Ontario, CA 91762
(909) 323-2580

Kids Empire is a fun indoor playground full with slides, climbing, soccer area and even a dance floor! Your young children will have a blast exploring all the things they can do throughout the playground. If you have toddlers, there's a special area for them to safely play at their own pace. If your kids cant get enough of Kids Empire, you can book their birthday party here too. Check out the website for more details.
