Monster Mini Golf
The one near us closed, but you may have something similar near you. This place had indoor mini golf under black lights with glow in the dark decorations and golf balls. They also had an arcade. It had a scary theme to it, but it wasn’t too over the top. It was a great stormy summer day activity because it was cool in there and the kids could stay occupied for a while.
This time we went as a family, but we also went there with friends and some kids had their birthday parties there.
You might assume this is the kind of place that Mikey would hate (loud, kids everywhere, lights flashing and things glowing), but he loved it. My suggestion would be to try it out if you’re not sure! If it doesn’t work out, at least you know. Even if it was a huge success, give your kiddo some quiet time at home to rest and regulate.
