As a parent, one of the most important jobs you have is wearing your kids out enough so they'll sleep well - whether it's for a nap or a night. Orange County has some great indoor places where you can take your kids to wear them out regardless of what the weather is on a given day. They'll love these places, and you will too because your kids will probably sleep very well after visiting any one of them.

If you're looking for an indoor playground specifically for your child's birthday party, Scooter's Jungle is the place to go. It has a variety of inflatable playground equipment that the kids will love and the parents will love because it wears the kids out. Among the areas where kids can play include a big slide, and obstacle course and a little sports arena. The arena has basketball hoops as well as helmets if the kids want to joust like American Gladiators. After the kids are done playing, your party can adjourn to one of the rooms where you can either provide lunch or serve Scooter's pizza.

At 9,000 square feet, Frogg's Bounce House is a huge place where kids can burn off some of the energy they seem to have in boundless supply. You'll find the usual things like slides and obstacle courses. Frogg's also has an area for toddlers who aren't quite big enough to jump with the bigger kids. If you host a party here, one of the great things you'll find is plenty of room for kids to dance. However, you don't need to attend a party to enjoy this place. You're welcome to walk in any time you want to wear your kids out.

One of the great things about being a kid is that the act of jumping can be endlessly entertaining. The folks at Big Air certainly know this too and will help you entertain your kid. As a trampoline park where your kids can jump just as much as they want, Big Air also has a rock wall to climb and a Battle Beam where kids can joust over a pit filled with foam blocks. This is generally for bigger kids, but toddler time is every Wednesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. If you have an adventurous child, take him or her to Big Air.
