My dad watches DD (she's 2) on Thursdays. Usually they go to the park for a few hours in the afternoon. But this week it's supposed to be record high temps (in the high 90s) so they probably won't go. I was thinking of suggesting a play gym, but my dad can't really crawl or climb around to play with DD. I've never been to a play gym - does the caregiver usually need to be interacting with LO or can they sit back while LO plays on their own?

I think at 2, your LO should be fine playing mostly by themselves at a playspace!

Can you check photos online? At most they are fine alone at 2 but we have one that has a tiny area for younger toddlers but a huge tall section for older kids and 2 is that weird in between spot for being able to handle it independently.

It depends on the place. I would check it out beforehand to see what kinda of contraptions they have and if a caregiver might need to get involved. There are some places with tricky mazes up high to crawl through and a 2 year old might need help.

Last year my son got kind of stuck in an inflatable maze, I had to fish him out, so, I would probably not be okay with it.

You need to be careful because they may require a parent signature to participate and I would hate for her to miss out because of that.
