Rainy Day Fun: Indoor Adventures in Palm Beach & Broward Counties ☔️🌴
Rain in sunny Florida? No problem! At SoFlo Coastal Group, we believe every day is an opportunity for coastal-style living—even when the skies open up. Whether you're a local exploring or a guest staying in one of our short-term rental homes, we’ve got you covered with fun, indoor activities in Palm Beach and Broward counties.
Here’s your go-to guide for turning a gloomy forecast into a bright, memorable day.
Why indoor plans matter for coastal living
Even in classic Florida sunshine, rain happens. But instead of hitting pause on your plans, flip the script and embrace the indoor options! With so many museums, arcades, theaters, food halls and more, you’ll keep that coastal lifestyle going strong—minus the umbrella and soggy shoes. And if you’re staying in one of our homes near Lake Worth Beach, West Palm Beach or the greater Palm Beach area, you’ll appreciate knowing the mood doesn’t need to shift just because of a shower.
Top Indoor Activities in Palm Beach County
Here are some of our favorite picks when the rain comes in:
1. Museums & Art for the Whole Crew
Check out Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach for a blend of classic and contemporary art in a welcoming space.
Another gem: the Cornell Art Museum at Old School Square in Delray Beach—set in a 1913 schoolhouse, combining charm with culture.
2. Science, Discovery & Kids’ Fun
For families or anyone who loves hands-on fun: visit the Cox Science Center & Aquarium in West Palm Beach. Whether you’re watching marine life or exploring interactive exhibits, it’s perfect for a rainy day.
Also, indoor play hubs like art studios and trampoline parks make great detours.
3. Eat, Shop & Play Indoors
Rainy day = food-hall happy hour. The Grandview Public Market is a stylish food court in West Palm Beach—lots of seating, flavors and vibe for the whole family.
Want something more adventurous? Go arcade + bowling at places mentioned in our “Beat the Heat” roundup.
Top Indoor Activities in Broward County
If you head just south or your trip spans both counties, Broward’s indoor options are equally awesome:
1. Big-Fun Entertainment Centers
Places like Xtreme Action Park offer go-karts, arcades, roller skating and more. Rain or shine, you’ll have a blast.
Also worth considering: large malls (like Sawgrass Mills) where shopping keeps the day moving.
2. Museums & Historic Spots
From the vehicle-enthusiast paradise at the Dauer Museum of Classic Cars in Fort Lauderdale to historical homes like the Stranahan House Museum, you’ll get rich experiences without needing sunshine.
Bonus Tips for Planning Your Rainy Day
-
Check opening hours: Some indoor attractions have different rain-day codes or may fill quickly.
-
Reserve ahead: Movie theatres, bowling or food halls can get busy when the weather turns.
-
Mix and match: Combine one indoor activity with a relaxed at-home wind-down in one of our rental homes, for example a spa-night or board games.
-
Stay local: If you’re staying in a home managed by SoFlo Coastal Group, you can keep that vacation-vibe going even if you aren’t hitting the beach.
-
Have Plan B ready: Keep an umbrella handy and an indoor spot bookmarked—because coastal living means being ready for anything.
