Stuck in the airport? The best kids play areas in airports around the country

Snow hit the Eastern coast this past weekend, and with snow came the grinding halt of flights everywhere. Unfortunately for many, the cancelation of flights has come at a time when everyone is trying to get to family for the holidays.

If you find you are stuck in an airport right now with your children bouncing off the walls, take a look at Travel BaBees quick guide to airport play areas:

Boston: Logan International - Indoor playgrounds
Logan International has two play areas for kids, and they are both work the trek to Terminal C or A. Kidport has a model airplane to climb on or slide down, tunnels, and a fun kid friendly baggage claim. The Kidport in Terminal A also has a mini-control tower. Great for kids who love airplanes, and a break for you.

Dallas Fort Worth International - Play areas abound!
DFW is a very family friendly airport. They feature three play areas in three terminals, including a junior flyer themed area with runway, plane, and air traffic control (Terminal B by Gate B12). In Terminal D by Gate D33 you can find a McDonalds that will let you buy a happy meal and give your kids a place to play, which is great for long layovers.  Terminal C at Gate C14 has a smaller version of the junior flyer play area.


Seattle-TAC (SEA)
Let your kids run wild at the huge children's play area while you catch up on your reading. This playground is soft foam, and features an airplane theme. If you are nursing, there is a parents room with rocking chairs for feeding your baby privately. The playground is located on the left, once you pass through security and go through the Central Terminal on your way to Concourse A.

We hope you don't get stuck in the airport this holiday season, but if you do, at least there are places for your kids to burn off some steam and for you to catch a much needed breather.

Happy Holidays!
