5 Indoor Sports for Families to Try This Winter

Ice skating may be the default wintertime family fave, but if you’re ready to try skating without being cold, try trading your ice skates for their four-wheeled cousins and hitting up an indoor roller skating rink. Black lights, disco grooves and funky dance moves are bound to bring back middle-school memories, giving you and your tots, tweens or teens license to get down and boogie while getting a workout.
