  • resource for instruction and indoor play on rainy days. (fees and reservations apply)
  • Finally, the best resource to find out on a daily basis where 
  • games are being played and whether they are open to the public is Playtime Scheduler. This “authority” on actual local play time is a free app for computer or 
  • phone.
