Billy Beez Bay Plaza Mall

If you’ve got kids bouncing off the walls on a rainy Saturday, Bay Plaza’s Billy Beez is honestly one of the better options in the Bronx. It’s fully enclosed, so you’re not chasing anyone into traffic, and the restrooms are right there — small thing, big deal when you’ve got little ones. The energy in there is real, lots of running and climbing, which is either great or overwhelming depending on your mood. Ages 1 through 12 are well covered, and birthday parties here are a solid call if you want someone else to handle the chaos for a couple hours.
