It’s more than just a coastal city with beaches where the only fun you can have is outdoors. Fort Lauderdale offers lots of indoor activities for any weather, and you can find something for everyone in the family. So if you find yourself stuck indoors because it’s raining, you’ll find that you may not be so stuck after all. There are plenty of fun things to do when it rains in Fort Lauderdale. Here are some that you may want to consider.
How About Some Indoor Soccer?
Sure, you can’t hit the grounds when it’s all rainy outside. But that shouldn’t stop you from going to get your Ronaldo on at the Futbol Club. Did you know that you can play soccer and have fun on an indoor soccer field in Fort Lauderdale? The Futbol club is open Tuesdays through Fridays. For exact times and how much it costs, you may want to check out their website. The good thing is indoor soccer is not restricted to any time of the day. You can even go at night. If you don’t feel like playing, you can just drop the kids off at the AGS soccer club and find something to do with your spouse for a couple of hours.
Go Bowling
Nothing conquers a rainy day mood quite like putting on your funky rental shows and rolling. Fort Lauderdale offers several bowling opportunities that you’ll enjoy thoroughly. You can check out Manor Lanes. This is one of the best places in the city if you can’t go outdoors. Once you start knocking down some pins, we promise you’ll totally forget about the weather outside. Bowling is a great activity for couples. Some bowling alleys also offer karaoke, ping pong, and a luxurious space to hang out and talk. If you feel like having food while you are at it, just ensure you find one that serves pizza and nachos when you do your search.
Rock Climbing
While it’ll be difficult to find a mountain in Florida, that won’t stop you from conquering some boulders and having fun. Rock climbing is great exercise and loads of fun. It’s almost like going to the gym. In fact, Coral Cliffs Indoor Rock Climbing also has space to work out. You can spend the entire day scaling the huge rocks until you are out of energy. While you won’t get actual rocks, their walls with jets screwed into them will be even more challenging.
Hit the Museum
When was the last time you looked at a giant shark’s face? If you are looking for something fun to do when it rains, going to the Museum is perfect. You’ll find more than enough things to cure those rainy-day blues. The Museum of Discovery and Science features a discovery center, an IMAX theater, and the Everglades exhibit. But most of all, you’ll be fascinated by the enormous shark on display.
Time to Fill Yourself Up With Some Culture
A rainy day is the best time to put down your phone and gaming consoles and get out there to see things that’ll expand your mind and enlighten your spirit. People rarely, if ever, get the chance to check out cultural sites. Fortunately, you won’t even have to look too hard to find some interesting local activities to do when in Fort Lauderdale. You can start by visiting the NSU Art Museum in Fort Lauderdale. Here, you’ll see a lot of amazing stuff that’ll crush any game or app on your phone any day. The NSU permanent collection comprises no less than 6,000 works of art. You’ll find works by Candino Portinary, Diego Rivera, and Francisco Toledo. No idea who these guys are? Look them up, then check out their amazing contributions to the world.
Fort Lauderdale also has lots of cultural sites that you may not have experienced. Have you been to the Wreck Bar at B Ocean Resort? This is a great spot that hosts daily mermaid shows. Their doors have been open since the ’50s. You can also up your local history game by visiting the Bonnet House Museum and the Historic Stranahan House Museum.
Retail Therapy
Shopping is another great rainy day activity. So what’s stopping you? Grab your credit card and check out the many shopping centers and malls throughout Fort Lauderdale. If you don’t want to move around a lot, you can visit The Sawgrass Mills outlet mall in Sunrise. This mall has an impressive 350 stores. You can also try Broward Mall, which is close by, featuring several department stores like JCPenney’s, Dillard’s, and Macy’s. They also have a few of your favorite brands. Broward Mall also features two museums, so it’s almost a rainy day one-stop shop for all your indoor fun and activities. You can check out the island’s SPACE Caribbean Museum and the Young at Art Museum.
Have You Ever Tried a Hot Tub Boat Tour?

Departing from Pier Sixty-Six Marina in Fort Lauderdale, Sea the City’s boat tours are two hours in length. They are a great way to sightsee and explore.
