Free or Cheap Indoor Play for Toddlers?

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of a free or extremely cheap place where my play group could meet. Most are ages 1-3. We host them at each others homes every now and then, but would like to find something different. We've done bounce u, going bonkers, & amazing jakes, but many of our members are not able to attend because of financial issues. I would like to find something that every can attend and not have to worry about breaking the bank. We have members located all throughout the DFW area so any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Paradise Pond in Grapevine is a great place for kids of all ages and was mentioned in a previous post and it is only $1 and we always have a great time and usually is not crowded.

It's been awhile since I've been in a playgroup but we used to go to those indoor mall play areas. Stonebriar had a nice one. Vista Ridge mall had one too.

I'm a fan of the mall play areas. The earlier the better. Find out what time the mall you choose opens up for the mall walkers. It's free!

We used to meet in the mall at one of the play areas. Early and during the week when it is fairly quiet.

HI,
I have see many Mcdonalds that have the play area for the kids .There is also a play area in Valley View mall that kids would luv a park is also nice but I think It's too cold .good luck
