Things to do in wet weather are easier to choose when every option happens under cover. Book a private bath in an indoor hot springs pavilion, solve an escape room, make burrata with a glass of bubbles or walk through an aquarium. Each one suits a rainy weekend, a day with the kids or a date, and none of them needs the sun.
A wet forecast still leaves plenty to book. Pick the mood: a long soak, a race against the clock in an escape room, a class that ends with a meal, or a day among sharks and penguins. The range runs from Sydney, Melbourne and Perth to the Gold Coast and Mooloolaba, so the rain can fall wherever you are.
The Hot Springs Bathe and Private Bath at Peninsula Hot Springs gives two people a 45-minute private bath in an indoor pavilion, with access to more than 70 wellness experiences. Alba Thermal Springs & Spa Bathing and Brunch spreads more than 20 geothermal pools, a sauna, a steam room and a plunge pool across 15 hectares, with brunch at Thyme to finish. In Mooloolaba, the Bathhouse Experience with 4 Course Lunch pairs magnesium-rich pools, a hot stone sauna and a Moroccan steam room with a waterfront Mediterranean lunch. In Five Dock, the Detoxing Sauna, Floatation Tank and Salt Therapy Package strings a float, an infrared sauna and a salt room together.
The Escape Room Experience in Melbourne gives two people four themes to choose from and a photo booth session at the end. The Axe Throwing and Rage Room Package splits a private axe lane from a crate of 35 breakables to smash. In Perth, the Full Motion Racing Simulator Experience in Osborne Park uses six degrees of freedom and VR goggles, and in Penrith the Indoor Skydiving Intro puts you in the flight chamber for two flights with an instructor beside you.
At the Cheese Making Class with Bottomless Bubbles you make bocconcini and burrata and take a kilo of it home. The Pasta and Wine Class in Sydney finishes with a sit-down meal of what you made, and the Cocktail Making Class with Matched Meze teaches three cocktails from a bartender. Over at Glaze Galleria in Sydney's Inner West, the Clay and Sip Wheel Throwing Class fires and glazes two pieces for you to collect later.
SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium Entry covers 12 themed zones, dugongs, penguins and a Penguin Expedition Boat Ride, and the Pick Your Own Sydney Attractions Pass adds two more from WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo, Sydney Tower Eye and Madame Tussauds. In Melbourne, shark diving at SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium puts divers in a 2.2 million litre oceanarium, and the MCG Tour and Australian Sports Museum Combo goes behind the scenes at the ground. On the Gold Coast, ArtVo fills 1,400 square metres with more than 80 trick-art illusions.
A wet-weather gift covers the day when plans fall through. A hot springs soak, an escape room or a pasta class is something the person can book for the next grey weekend and look forward to until then.
If you're not sure which they'd choose, a gift voucher lets them pick from the whole RedBalloon range, indoors and out.
Pick by mood. SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium is a popular choice for families, Alba Thermal Springs & Spa is a strong option for a slow day, and a cheese or pasta class gives a group a social afternoon. Escape rooms, axe throwing and racing simulators fill the competitive end of the list.
Look for attractions that run under cover. ArtVo on the Gold Coast is listed as suitable for all ages, with a self-guided walk through more than 80 trick-art illusions. The Sydney attractions pass starts at SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium, and escape rooms and indoor skydiving are options for older kids. Check the age details on each product page.
For couples, a private bath for two at Peninsula Hot Springs is the quietest option, while the cocktail class with meze and the clay wheel throwing evening suit a social evening. For a group, an escape room or axe throwing session turns a wet Saturday into a small competition.
Yes, and they vary. Escape room guests aged 15 or under need to be accompanied by a paying adult, the axe and rage room combo requires 12 to 17-year-olds to be with a parent or guardian, and the SEA LIFE Melbourne shark dive starts at 14. Private hot spring baths start at 16, and cooking classes with alcohol need guests to be 18 or over.
Indoor skydiving takes place in a wind tunnel, so you get the sensation of freefall without leaving the ground. The Indoor Skydiving Intro in Penrith includes a training session, two flights, a flight suit and helmet, and one-on-one instructor help, with no previous experience required. For the real thing, browse skydiving or indoor skydiving.
It depends on the class. The Cheese Making Class includes bottomless bubbles, recipes and a kilo of burrata and bocconcini to take home. The Sydney pasta class includes a welcome drink and a sit-down meal of your pasta. Check the inclusions on the product page for drinks and take-home items.
For the long soak, see bathhouses, float tanks and day spa packages. For something competitive, escape rooms and axe throwing are the starting points. Cooking classes and aquariums cover the rest, and kids activities collect options for children.
