Because sometimes everyone just needs to get out of the house.

When the weather turns or you’re staring down another long afternoon indoors, Happy Valley families usually rotate through a handful of reliable spots. Nothing fancy — just places where kids can move, play, and reset.

Here are some go-to indoor options locals lean on.

1. Clackamas Town Center – Mall Play Area + Kid-Friendly Stops

Just a few minutes north of Happy Valley, Clackamas Town Center is more than shopping — it’s a solid fallback for younger kids.

Parents usually come here for:

• The indoor play area (great for toddlers and preschoolers)
• Quick walks to burn energy on rainy days
• Food court lunches or snack breaks
• A change of scenery when everyone’s stir-crazy

It’s not a destination outing — it’s a practical one. But sometimes that’s exactly what you need.

2. Sky Zone Trampoline Park – Jumping Fun

When kids need to really burn energy, Sky Zone is the move. Just a short drive to Gresham.

Locals use it for:

• Open jump sessions
• Birthday parties
• Rainy weekends
• After-school energy explosions

Expect trampolines, foam pits, dodgeball courts, and exhausted kids afterward.

Local parent tip: go earlier in the day if you want smaller crowds.

3. Happy Valley Library – Books & Games

Quiet doesn’t mean boring.

The Happy Valley Library is a favorite low-key option for:

• Storytime sessions
• Kids reading areas
• Craft activities
• Homework help
• Calm resets after busy days

It’s perfect when you don’t want chaos — just a peaceful place where kids can slow down for a bit.

Bonus: it’s free, warm, and never overcrowded.
