Even as the Sunshine State, we tend to get quite a few rainy days throughout the year, particularly in summer. In the Moreton Bay Region, we are blessed with many natural attractions that unfortunately are not suitable explorations during wet weather. So, if you’re looking to keep dry and stay entertained, these indoor rainy-day activities near Brisbane may be your cup of tea (which is a delicious treat on a rainy day just FYI).
Challenge the fam to a game of putt putt. Undersea Putt & Play is the ultimate indoor activity, day or night, rain or shine. It is an epic entertainment precinct in Redcliffe, featuring an underwater-themed mini golf course and a games arcade. As you putt over the ocean floor, you will discover ancient fossilised prehistoric fish, great white sharks, crocodiles and even whirlpools.
