Lost for ideas on indoor activities to do this winter? With the colder months, the weather can become a deterrent to the usual warmer activities. Don’t settle for a boring season just yet though – here are 10 fun indoor winter activities to try!
Visit the State Museum
Indulge yourself in the history and facts of our world as you travel the corridors of your local museum. Museums will often have special events too; historical periods of time, interesting animals, fascinating stories, and more. You learn something new every day, they say. Well that’s certainly the case when you visit a museum!
Host a Games Night
Invite friends and family around for a games night. Pull out your favourite board games, get the kids in on the action and enjoy this social activity in the warmth of your very own home. Make sure you have the snacks and cuppas ready, poured from your very own Uccello Kettle and delivered with your Muggi of course!
Watch a Movie
Check out what’s on at your local cinema. If the budget is tight, why not get the trackies and bed socks on and rug up on the couch for movie time. Streaming services like Netflix and Stan can provide great binge-worthy shows too.
Visit the Aquarium
Another interactive activity to try is visiting your state aquarium. Surround yourself with beautiful creatures of the sea on the traveling escalator. Try your hand in the touch pool, or witness one of the aquarium’s daily interactive shows.
Indoor Swimming Pools
Too cold to swim outdoors? Your local indoor public swimming pool is a great alternative – some may even have heated pools and a sauna. There are other great activities to participate in at the indoor pools, such as water aerobics and water walking classes.
Go out for Lunch
Catch up with your loved ones at your favourite cafe or restaurant. This is a great way to support local businesses, and there may be outdoor seating options available too. TripAdvisor has a great list of local cafes near you.
Play Ten-pin Bowling
Remember the days of walking away from your bowling lane with hi-fives after that glorious strike? Re-live those moments again with your friends and family, and you may find you enjoy this childhood activity again so much that you join the alley’s bowling club!
Visit the Art Gallery
Surround yourself with the artistic flair and masterpieces at the state art gallery. From time to time, galleries hold exclusive exhibitions from renowned artists that may even spark your own creative juices, sending you home with a new passion for art!
