You’ll never say rain, rain go away, again with these top rainy day ideas.

Movie With a Twist

Catch a flick at the Movie Tavern where movies meet restaurant service right from your recliner seat, and trade popcorn for a gourmet burger (but we won’t judge you if you get both). For another unique movie experience catch a film in IMAX at the Milton J. Rubenstein Museum of Science and Technology. The whole family will enjoy April showings of Amazon Adventure or Pandas: Wild at Heart in IMAX.

Explore Book & Record Collections

Grab a warm coffee and discover your next reading or listening treasure at one of two crowd-favorite used book stores in the Eastwood neighborhood. Books End and Books & Melodies have numerous rooms filled with books and music. Both sports are perfect places to browse and hide out from the rain.

Escape Rooms

Bring the family and try to escape a pharaoh’s tomb at 5 Wits or grab your smart-witted friends and try your luck at one of the many rooms at Escape the Mystery Room, both located inside Destiny USA.
