Wet Weather Day Ideas

Shop, immerse yourself or get seriously wet!

The forecast for the weekend involves rain, and possibly lots of it. So I thought you might be able to use some wet weather day ideas, especially those who were expecting Queensland's famous sunny days.

Stay dry

Brisbane has many fantastic indoor shopping spots. Malls can be found in many of the suburbs and stock many of the big brands including many Australian brands. For one of the biggest of you should visit Westfield Chermside. You can visit literally hundreds of different stores, check out new movies, and eat at restaurants, cafes or fast food stores.

Immerse yourself

For a different wet weather option, embrace the water without getting wet at Mooloolaba Aquarium on the Sunshine Coast. The 2.5 million litre Oceanarium with its 80 metre transparent tunnel provides opportunities to see sharks, rays, tropical fish, underwater plant life and much more form a unique, and dry, perspective. Other attractions include shark dives and seal swims amongst others.

Get wet

Embrace the rain! It's still warm and we are not aspirins, so for those who want to get out there - get wet and stay wet. Visit Wet 'n Wild on the Gold Coast, go swimming at South Bank, grab a raincoat and explore the rainforest and other gardens at Mt Cootha botanical gardens, just get out there and explore.
