If you've ever driven past the Citadel Mall and thought it looked a little run down, don't count it out just yet. Hidden inside is one of our favorite family gems OutSlide In. It's the perfect weekend spot when the weather doesn't cooperate, and honestly, the convenience can't be beat.

We park once, spend the morning letting the kids burn off energy at OutSlide In, then grab lunch from Chick-fil-A or another food court favorite before a quick Target run. The staff is always so kind and welcoming, and the play space is affordable for how much fun your kids will have.

There's even a calm, enclosed toddler area that's perfect for my 14-month-old, while my two big kids live their best wild lives in the main play zone. OutSlide In is open Monday through Thursday from 10am to 6pm, Friday and Saturday from 10am to 7pm, and Sunday from 11am to 6pm. Admission is $14.99 for kids ages 3 and up, $11.99 for toddlers 1–2 years old, and adults are free. Socks are required for everyone.

Outslide In has a special deal on Tuesdays and Thursdays where your toddler can enjoy for only $10! They also offer monthly memberships and birthday packages that are both very affordable!

Outslide In has been a fun safe haven for my kids and mommy friends to hang out and burn off some time and energy. Trust me, this is one place you'll want to keep in your back pocket for a rainy (or too-hot) Charleston day.
