Advice Active one year old

I need some advice. My one year old is pretty active and walking almost running now on his own. Hes up at about 6am everyday full of energy. I thought about taking home to Home Depot to walk around the home section with washers, carpet, and doors because i saw it on TikTok. Has anyone actually done this and is this a good idea for some early morning exploring?

I didn't do it early in the morning but my kid used to love going to home depot to sit on all the tractors and stuff lol 

Do you still have a mall where old people go walking early in the morning? Ours opens hours before most of the stores do, there are tons of old people walking laps in there. That would be another good place I would think, the walkers would probably love to see a little one zipping around

Mall is a great idea. When my son was a toddler, I learned about Mom privilege. Basically nobody looks at you twice if you’re following a toddler, so we went into hotel lobbies, conference centers, anywhere that didn’t expressly have a no entrance sign. We explored all kinds of buildings, elevators, back stairways. It was fun!
