What are the best indoor activities when it’s raining?

You wake up, look outside and see that it’s raining again. So much for your plans for an afternoon outdoors! Fortunately, bad weather doesn’t have to mean you have to stay at home all day. The Netherlands has plenty of fun indoor activities that’ll still let you enjoy a lovely day out.

Whether you want to go out with children, friends or the whole family, there are plenty of options. From exciting activities to active outings where nobody has to sit still. But what are the best indoor outings when it’s raining?

Turn a rainy day into something fun

When it’s raining outside, it’s tempting to just stay on the sofa. Yet a day of bad weather can actually be the perfect time to try something new.

Think, for example, of bowling, Glowgolf, swimming, visiting a museum or solving an escape room together. There are plenty of indoor activities where you don’t have to worry about the weather forecast.

For families with children, an active day out is often extra fun. It means children can enjoy themselves and don’t have to sit on the sofa indoors all day.

Active fun at Bounce Valley

Are you looking for an indoor outing where everyone can get active? Then Bounce Valley is a great choice.

At this indoor inflatable park, children and adults alike can take on various challenges. From overcoming obstacles to exploring a course together: there’s plenty to do.

The great thing about Bounce Valley is that you decide for yourself how to explore the park. Some people head straight for the biggest challenge, whilst others prefer to try out different sections with friends or family.

This turns a rainy afternoon into an active adventure in no time.

An indoor outing for the whole family

Organising an outing for the whole family can sometimes be tricky. Especially when children of different ages are coming along, you want to find an activity that everyone will enjoy.

Bounce Valley is suitable for all ages. Parents can join in themselves and explore the inflatable park together with the children. Prefer to sit back and relax? Then you can watch from the sidelines whilst the children have fun.

This makes it a great option for a family day out, but also for an afternoon with grandad, grandma or other family members.

Also great at weekends and during school holidays

Of course, rainy days don’t just happen during the week. Especially at weekends and during school holidays, bad weather can mean you have to look for an alternative to your original plans.

An indoor activity is ideal in such cases. You don’t have to wait for the weather to clear up and can simply organise a fun day out in advance.

With several Bounce Valley venues spread across the Netherlands, you can see which one suits you best. Grip socks are included with every ticket, so just put on some comfortable clothes and you’re all set for an active afternoon.
