Two more thoughts . . .
A couple people mentioned Gymboree. We used to go there and I loved it. But my local Gymboree is kind of anti-twin in my opinion. For the parent participation classes (all those under a certain age) they require one adult per child. So a mom with twins can't go to class with her babies on her own. I don't know if that's a nationwide policy or not. We met several of our playgroup moms originally through Gymboree. Anyway, I go to My Gym now and really like that as well - I don't think they're as widespread as Gymboree. My boys are 4 months apart in age and the staff are really helpful when I take both boys to class together.
Some of my playgroup moms are also members of a more official/organized playgroup. There is apparently a lot of "drama" in that group - meaning it's gotten sort of click-ish. I think that sort of thing is a danger in any group. So I just wanted to say to the OP that if your first playgroup doesn't work for you for whatever reason, I hope you don't get discouraged. I think it sometimes takes a little while to find the right group.
