They have lots of playdates and meetups for that age.

Thank you for the suggestion, landshark. But Newport is a bit far for us since we don't have a car and we live in downtown. Thanks anyway!

Thank you so much for the information, SRhia! I will check out these options!

The LIberty Science Center is a great place to go on cold days (worthwhile getting a membership).

There also used to be a play group (donation based) in the church basement by Ferris (sorry, forgot the name), but I heard it got flooded by Sandy and it's still not up and running?

I think the Grace Church also has play groups? Not sure about fee.

Also, I'd recommend getting to know other parents that live in any of the high rises - those building usually have playrooms that can come in handy during the winter.

Or last resort - go to the Newport mall - lots of space to run!

I just moved to downtown earlier this year. I have a 16 month old boy who is very active and has lots of energy. We went to the library story time before. But it ended this week. I registered him for Gymboree once a week. Is there any other indoor play places for little ones that I go to in the winter?

Thank you for all advice and suggestion.
