Toddlers need a place to roam, and parents need a place to sit.

Indoor playgrounds live or die on one thing: whether a parent can relax while a toddler roams. Family Barn in Georgetown passes that test. The space is clean, well laid out, and divided into different activity areas for young children. One practical tip regulars share: call or reserve before you go, since private events can close the play area to drop-ins.
