Indoor Playgrounds in Chattanooga + Mommy-and-Me Meetups

The Best Indoor Playgrounds in Chattanooga

When I first became a stay-at-home mom, I quickly realized just how long the hours between breakfast and naptime can feel. Once we found our morning groove with FIT4MOM playgroups and classes, things got easier—but when my kiddos dropped from two naps to one (why does that hurt so much?), we suddenly had extra time to fill.

Enter: indoor playgrounds and indoor play areas—a lifesaver for moms, especially during cold, rainy, or brutally hot days in Chattanooga.

Whether you’re looking for a place to let your toddler burn energy, meet other moms through a mommy-and-me experience, or just get out of the house without spending a fortune, this roundup has you covered. Below are our favorite indoor play spots around Chattanooga, plus a few special mommy-and-me meetups we’re hosting this month!

The Little Sprout Spot

The Little Sprout Spot is a locally owned indoor play place located near Hixson, Red Bank, and Chattanooga. With multiple themed rooms, several large play structures, and an abundance of smaller educational toys, it’s designed for kids to explore at their own pace while staying engaged and active.

Moms love this space for its clean layout, variety of play options, and toddler-friendly design. It works well for siblings of different ages and is especially great for mornings when kids have the most energy.

MOMMY-AND-ME MEETUP

Jumpin’ Jellybeans is a bright, welcoming indoor play area in Hixson that’s perfect for toddlers and preschoolers. With soft play structures, climbing areas, and space to explore, it gives kids room to move while still feeling age-appropriate and manageable for parents.

One of the biggest perks of this indoor playground is the all-day play option—you can come and go as you please, making it ideal for working around snack time and naps. Moms also love that outside food is allowed and that there’s free coffee on hand (a small detail that makes a big difference).

MOMMY-AND-ME MEETUP

Join us at Jumpin' Jellybeans on Tuesday, February 17th for open play for the Toddler Tuesday pricing!

You do NOT need to be a FIT4MOM member to join us, but registration is recommended so we know to look for you!

Red Bank Bounce is a high-energy indoor playground filled with inflatables that let kids jump, climb, and burn off all the wiggles—especially perfect for cold or rainy days. The open layout makes it easy for parents to keep eyes on their kids while they play.

This indoor play area is a favorite for toddlers and preschoolers who love big movement and simple, active play. Moms love it as an easy, no-frills option when kids need space to move and naps are definitely happening later.

Little Lions Den

Little Lions Den is a cozy, thoughtfully designed indoor play area created especially for younger children. The playroom encourages imaginative play, social interaction, and exploration in a calm, welcoming environment.

This spot feels less like a chaotic play zone and more like a community space, which is why so many moms love it for slower mornings or first play experiences with their littles.

MOMMY-AND-ME MEMBER EXCLUSIVE MEETUP

FIT4MOM Chattanooga members are invited to our FREE Valentine's Day party at Little Lions Den on Wednesday, February 11th, which will feature Valentine’s Day minis with Randi Vasquez Photography, a Valentine's keepsake craft, and open play time with a bouncy house.

Preschool Playtime at Gymnastics Center of Chattanooga is perfect for little movers who want to explore real gymnastics equipment in a supervised, age-appropriate way. Think mats, balance beams, and plenty of space to safely practice climbing and jumping.

It’s structured enough to feel safe but relaxed enough for kids to explore at their own pace.

Urban Air

Urban Air is more than just trampolines—there is climbing equipment, obstacle courses, and more for your kiddos to explore! Since it is a trampoline park, it is geared towards older kiddos; however, during the week they offer Jumperoo hours, which are designed specifically for younger kids. It’s a great option when you want a high-energy outing or something a little different from traditional play spaces.
