Things to Do With Kids on Rainy Days on Vacation

Planning your next vacation can be exciting as you make a list of the things you want to do in the vacation destination. While it may not be in your vacation plans, there is a possibility that you might have some rain during your stay, no matter the destination. Bad weather can put a damper on your trip. And it can be more challenging when you are travelling with the kids. Don’t despair. Here are some fun things to do with kids on rainy days while on vacation at a vacation rental.

Bake Up Some Fun

One of the benefits of a vacation rental is having access to a fully stocked kitchen. So, on one of those rainy days, why not take the kids into the kitchen and start baking? Kids can help baking and decorating cookies. Or how about everyone adding their favorite toppings on individual pizzas?

Games to the Rescue

Don’t get bored…get board games! Many vacation rentals are stocked with board games for the whole family. You may even want to travel with a couple of your favorite games, just in case. Use the time to reconnect and have some fun together.

Movie Time

Another family friendly option is to watch a movie. Stay For Vacay vacation homes, like most vacation rentals, are equipped with Smart TVs. You can access your favorite streaming services with the complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi.

Story Time

Pull out your kids’ favorite books. Either let them read to you or you read to them. No books with you…No worries. Be creative and tell your own stories let the kids help you. Or check out a local library.

Inside Adventures

Venture out into the local community to check out some nearby indoor activities such as an arcade, museum, bowling alley, movie theater or aquarium.

Shop ‘Til You Drop

Shopping is an all-time fan favorite during vacation. Rainy days are a perfect time to check out the local shopping opportunities. Head over to one of the nearby indoor malls.

Singing in the Rain

Go out in the rain. Some tropical places expect a midday rain. You may even enjoy the opportunity to cool off if the weather has been hot. Bring a light rain poncho so you are ready for the nice refreshing rain.

As you see, if it rains when you stay for vacay, you can have fun with some of these rainy-day ideas. Enjoy your vacation, rain or shine. And share your pictures with us at Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.
