Things to do with children while on vacation [inside on a rainy day] Falmouth, Cape Cod

You spent weeks planning your perfect Cape Cod vacation visualizing your toddler running along the beach while you enjoy a cup of coffee. But now...rain in the forecast. Disclaimer, this article is very bias as we hope you'll visit the Play & Learn but we'll also include our favorite indoor activities for young children. We are are parents, too!

Visit the Play & Learn at Little Milestones

An educational indoor play space open to the public geared for children 6 months through age 7. Located in Falmouth. Daily admission, membership and pass options are available for entrance.

Go to a movie

Close by movie theaters include The Falmouth Cinema Pub (newly renovated) and the Mashpee Commons Cinemas.

Drive to a beach and watch the ferries go to and from Martha's Vineyard

Take a drive to the Heights, position your car facing the water and watch the ferry go to and from the Vineyard! Grab some snacks to make it a whole experience!

Visit NOVA

It's a bit of a drive, but in our opinion worth it! We would say best for children 3 and up, but they do have a toddler area.

Visit one of our many local libraries

Falmouth and Mashpee have beautiful libraries! Some offer drop in classes run by the Coalition for Children.
