4 Outing Ideas For A Rainy Day in the Mother City (Part 2)

Don’t let the rain wash away your plans! Just put on a cute winter outfit, get your gang together and look past the mediocre weather. Fun is waiting to be had. Here are 4 fabulous outing ideas for a rainy day in the Mother City…

1 - Unleash Your Inner Artist at the Clay Cafe

The Clay Cafe is a ceramics cafe, restaurant and tapas bar that welcomes maximum creativity. It encourages people to embrace the arts while socialising and having some therapeutic down time. This offering can be found at two separate venues in Cape Town including a spot in Bree Street and a site more suited to families and children, in Hout Bay. Upon your visit, choose from a wide selection of ceramic items and paint to your heart’s content! The food is really great and the chilled music adds to a super arty atmosphere. You’ll be wishing the rain came around more often. Be sure to make a booking in advance to avoid disappointment!

2 - Challenge Yourself to an Escape Room Experience

A craze which has totally swept the world is the ‘Escape Room’ experience. Wondering what it’s all about? Well…you and your team of buddies are locked away in a themed room and put to the test to solve a series of puzzles and clues. It’s a race against time with a 60 minute countdown adding to the test. Put your minds together and think quick to escape from the room before the clock runs out. This is such a fun experience that literally makes you feel like you’ve just been transported onto a live game show. Try it out on the next rainy day by heading over to HintHunt at the Watershed, by the V&A Waterfront.

3 - Get Moving with Rollercade at the V&A Waterfront

Rollercade is the first indoor roller skating amusement park in the Mother City. Skate to the groove, play a game of pool or take part in some good old arcade duels…entertainment is sure to be the order of the day. You may even decide to come along as a spectator and have some fun witnessing the highs and the lows of the rollerskating world (yikes). You might as well grab a snack or two to go along with all the drama. This rainy day outing idea has gotta be one to keep in mind the next time the weather lets you down. The Battery Park by the V&A Waterfront is the place to go.

4 - Cook Up A Storm with Food Jams

Food Jams is a culinary celebration like no other! It strengthens old bonds, creates new ones and brings different people together in a warm and welcoming setting. This unique experience involves a group of guests who work as a team to prepare a meal in a super social space. After grouping up all the individuals, tasks are assigned in the kitchen and everyone is left to their own devices to put a plate of food together. You may know your team member or not have a clue who they are - but that is all part of the fun! The drinks are flowing, the time is ticking and the music is pumping. Once the food has been prepared according to the recipes provided (or not), the group sits together at a table to enjoy the meal. This is a really incredible outing idea for when the rainy weather is front and centre. There’s nothing quite like cooking up a warm and hearty meal to conquer the cold temperatures.
