Things to do in and around Brisbane on a rainy day
A rainy, miserable day eliminates the beach, an outdoor hike or a picnic in the park, unless if you really don’t mind doing things in the rain or hail and with little shine.
There is a myriad of things to do in and around Brisbane. Some options may be more expensive than Netflix-ing and downing a tub of ice-cream but they’ll provide a bountiful lot of fun.
· Strike Bowling – Wintergarden: Strike Bowling offers a range of activities. With bowling, laser tag, pool tables, karaoke rooms and of course food and drinks on offer, you’re sure to keep busy for hours.
· Indoor trampoline parks – various locations across Brisbane: For an active day out, check out an indoor trampoline park around Brisbane. Flip Out, Bounce and Sky Zone are all great for a family fun day, a date, or a great way to burn some energy with friends.
· Glow worm caves – Mt Tamborine: If you still want to venture out on a scenic drive, the Glow Worm Caves at Mt Tamborine is well-worth the drive. The kids will love this one.
· iFly – Gold Coast: iFly on the Gold Coast allows you to learn basic sky diving skills in the wind tunnel. The saying ‘save for a rainy day’ is applicable here. It doesn’t come cheap, but it sure will be an experience like no other!
· Cork & Chroma – West End: sip on some wine while putting your Picasso skills to test.
· Netherworld Arcade – Fortitude Valley: with a collection of gaming relics from past decades and a variety of food and drinks, you’re bound to take a step back in time.
· Quest Room – South Brisbane: when you visit one of the rooms, you could find yourself captured by a maniac, escaping a sinking ocean liner or solving a 19th century terror plot. With only 60 minutes to complete your mission, you’ll have to put your best detective skills to test.
· Queensland Museum and Sciencentre: a fun, educational day out for the whole family!
There is a plethora of things to do in and around Brisbane on a rainy day, suitable for all ages and budgets.
