Spring Vacation Fun: Activities for a Rainy Day
You’ve spent weeks or even months planning the perfect vacation with your family and friends. But when the time comes to pack your bags and hit the road, the forecast is anything but perfect.
Don’t let the weather put a damper on your plans. There are plenty of enjoyable indoor activities to consider that allow you to either stay in or venture out.
Stay dry on your spring vacation this year and indulge in some fun with these family-friendly activities for a rainy day.
Explore Indoor Attractions Near Your rental
If your rental is near a city or town, a rainy day is a perfect excuse to get in the car and visit some local attractions like aquariums, shopping malls, movie theaters, or museums.
Many vacation rentals will provide you with guides or pamphlets to local hot spots. If they don’t have physical guides, be sure to check out the website you booked directly through for some great ideas for things to do on a rainy day.
Host an Open Mic Night
What could be more fun than watching your family and friends sing along to their favorite song or perform an improvised comedy routine?
When it comes to fun things to do at home, this one ranks near the top of the list and is sure to bring smiles to everyone in the room.
No microphone? No problem. Grab the closest water bottle, play some music on your phone, and voila! You’re ready for a night in.
Get Creative With Cooking
If you’re traveling with a group, hosting a cooking night can be a great way to try new recipes and see what your friends and family can do in the kitchen.
Ranking high on the list of indoor activities for kids, the little ones will love to help the adults bake cookies or create their own pizza recipe.
Beat the Boredom With Board Games
You can’t go wrong with classic indoor activities like playing a board game.
Check with the place you’re staying to see if they have board games stocked in the home or pack your own for a weekend of fun. Enjoy family-friendly games like Apples to Apples or Monopoly.
Or if you’re looking for games geared toward adults, you’ll be sure to enjoy some smiles with giant Jenga or Cards Against Humanity.
A Cozy Movie Night
If staying in sounds ideal, be sure to pack your favorite DVDs or check with the rental company to see if a Smart TV will be available in the home so you can enjoy movies on your favorite streaming service.
This activity is great for big and small groups alike and can be enjoyed by all ages. So grab a blanket, some popcorn, and enjoy the show!
