There are some great playgrounds in Westchester specifically for toddlers and preschoolers, but when the weather is less than ideal for outdoor fun, there are a number of indoor play spaces that offer a chance for this age group to jump on trampolines, listen to music, make art, and even take a STEM class!

Here, we've rounded up a few of our favorites across Westchester, with opportunities for drop-in play as well as monthly memberships and more.

Royal Caribbean recently debuted a massive renovation (and renaming) of its private CocoCay Bahamas island. The brand-new "Perfect Day at CocoCay" Caribbean destination now offers three beach areas, a stunning freshwater pool, a helium balloon ride — and what's billed as the water park with the tallest slide in North America. New dining areas, more water sports, zip lines, and additional updates were added to the refresh.

I was invited on the Royal Caribbean cruise out of Fort Lauderdale to see the 125-acre upgrades, including brand-new "floating" cabanas that debuted in January 2020. Read on for what to do at Perfect Day at CocoCay in the Bahamas, how to get there, and what it might cost your family.
