If you want to venture outside of South Boston,
The Little Lovage Club in Prudential Center is great for children up to about 5. They have a dedicated infant area as well. You can easily take the 9 bus from Southie or they validate parking for a discounted rate!
Allo in Charlestown has a playspace tailored towards toddlers or young children (no dedicated space for infants) and they also have an area for art classes .
Minni in South End or Beacon Hill has art classes and workshops. The South End location is easily accessible from South Boston by taking the 11 or 9 bus, or parking at Sowa.
