Fun with 22-month-old and newborn?

hmontty

DD is 22 months. We want to take her somewhere fun tonight (indoors--it's cold) because she's been a little stir crazy lately.

However, we also have a 5-week-old.

Any suggestions? We were thinking Chuck E Cheese but don't know how much of a hotbed for disease it could be for our infant.

Thanks -- we're actually in Philly now.

Wear the 5 week old in a carrier and take your LO to the mall, children's museum, or library as suggested. I am sure Philly has a very decent selection of activities for kids.  If you want to be super cautious then put a light blanket over her loosely (I see people doing it all of the time). As long as she is not directly exposed, she should be fine.

this. I did this all the time and mine are 16 months apart. I did Gymboree with DD 3x a week with DS in the ergo or snap the sleeping baby in the stroller

Not sure about activites at night. Nest is really great located at 13th and Locust and fairly easy to take along a newborn.  I think they are open until 6pm most week nights.  Gymboree is also an option although I dont have a ton of personal experience there.  Lastly I guess I would say the please touch museum, not sure what time they are open until.  Good Luck!

Do you have a Moby wrap? I used that when my daughter was a newborn and it kept her pretty protected from grubby stranger hands when we went out.
