Yup, agree. It's actually easy to social distance in a vast museum that is limiting capacity. By the time you come into contact with other visitors' droplets, they would likely have fallen to the ground. It's not zero risk -- but that's not my criteria. It's very low risk.

Nothing indoors. I am sure it's not that high risk, but I'm not doing anything inside. I am taking all my risks by letting my kids play with friends at playgrounds with like 50% good mask wearing.

Yep. If it’s big and it’s open and we’re all masked up and sanitizing frequently, absolutely.

No to indoor play spaces and the like.

Yes to large museums that are limiting capacity.

I take my kids to the library to stock up on books.

But we do not do play spaces.

Like other posters say, it's not the surfaces, but the breathing. So if there's lots of people hanging out in the library, we leave and try again. (Or another branch. We live in a library-rich area.)

Nope. I won't do anything recreational indoors around other people with cases as high as they currently are.

Sanitizer and wipes aren't the issue - the issue is other people breathing. There is truly no "safe distance" indoors at most places like that.

We did a few museums over the summer/early fall but wouldn’t now. They were basically empty when we went and numbers were much lower then than they are now. Definitely wouldn’t do any indoor play areas.

We’re not even going to playgrounds or the zoo anymore. This winter we’re planning on only outdoor activities where we can be alone/very distanced from others: hiking in the woods, playing soccer with just our family at a deserted park, walks around our neighborhood, playing in our own yard. Just get bundled up and be outside. It never gets so cold in DC area that you can’t be outside.

With cases spiking, I would not. We went to the aquarium recently and I regretted it once we got there. The zoo is still a good outdoor option.

No for indoor play space. I was thinking about one of the art museums that are typically pretty empty but with cases so high, probably would not even do that. Also have not been to an inside mall.

If no one in your family is high risk and you wouldn't be exposing anyone else (via school, child care etc) then sure, go for it.

Nope. Cases are spiking. Wear warm clothes and hats and gloves and go outside.

Some of the indoor play rooms are allowing you to reserve the entire space just for your group so you could try that. That way you’re just playing with your group and no one else. It’s not even that expensive. I reserved all of Jolly Yolly for $100 this summer for 5 kids so it came to $20 a kid, and it’s cheaper on weekdays.

I agree with this.

A month ago maybe, not now. Hoping this spikes shakes America to its core and people stay home for Christmas.
