We all know the weather around here isn't always ideal so here's a little list of rainy day suggestions...

Bounce Houses

Hit the Mall
-Eastwood Mall there's a play area for the little ones, a train ride for the young at heart and an aquarium to visit
-Shenango-valley has a play area and party zone-Southern Park Mall has a great play area for the little ones.

They have a rollerskating rink upstairs, a bounce house and kids play area (tunnels and slides etc.) downstairs. Trains will be set up on an adventure track,

kids will be able to crank themselves around the track through tunnels and around other props as well.

The Niles McKinley memorial library is located right downtown Niles. Some events held in auditorium (same spot as library just other half of the building) others are held in the McKinley Birthplace Home just a block away.

Niles McKinley library is part of the Clevenet system so it will honor library cards from other locations (such as Girard, Newton Falls, Hubbard).
