We checked every spot below on its own website this fall, and we update this guide as places open, close or change their hours. Bookmark it for the next snow day.

Trampoline Parks and Adventure Parks
For older kids who need to really run it out, these are the big-energy options.

Sky Zone, Budd Lake (Mount Olive)
Sky Zone’s Mount Olive park at 61 International Dr. South has freestyle jumping, dodgeball, a foam zone, SkyJoust and a ninja course. Note that the old Sky Zone in Pine Brook is closed while it relocates, so Budd Lake is the Morris County location to use for now. Sky Zone Mt. Olive.
The Funplex, East Hanover
The Funplex at 182 Route 10 is a full family entertainment center with indoor rides, bowling, an arcade and VR, open indoors from noon to 9 PM. Rides have a 36 inch minimum height, so it works best for kids past the toddler stage. Its outdoor Splashplex waterpark is closed for the season, so plan on the indoor side. Plan a Funplex visit.
