Enjoy an indoor picnic
Who says an indoor picnic isn’t fun? Spread a blanket and some pillows on your living room floor, throw together your own take on a charcuterie board, open a bottle of wine, and invite your friends over for a day of fun and quality time together.

Throw a board game party
Bring out your favorite board, video, computer, and card games, and enjoy a day of nothing but play with your loved ones.

Unique Places to Go on a Rainy Day for Adults
Apart from the usual recommendations (coffee shop, movies, etc.), there are a lot of unique places to go on bad weather days. Here are just a few rainy day activities for adults to get you inspired:
-
Explore art at a local museum or gallery
Find a museum or gallery near your home and spend the day exploring the exhibits.
-
Hit the yoga studio or gym
You may be cooped up, but that doesn’t mean you are forced to spend the day sitting on a couch (unless that’s exactly what you want to do)! Go to a nearby yoga studio or gym and spend the day taking classes or trying out new equipment. If you aren’t a member of a gym, consider asking if they offer free day passes to try out their facilities.
-
Shop at your local mall or stores downtown
A little retail T.L.C. never hurt anyone. Check out your favorite store or boutique to see if they’ve got anything you like.
-
Go bowling, to an arcade, or to a pool hall
Rally your friends together and go bowling, hit the nearest arcade, or play a few rounds of pool! You can award the winning team or top scorer with a bottle (or can) of wine.
-
Visit an aquarium
Spend your rainy day exploring a nearby aquarium and its variety of marine life.
