Rainy Day Fun: Indoor Activities for the Whole Family
Cape Town might be known for its sunny days, but even this paradise has its share of rain. When the skies turn grey, Capegate Shopping Centre in the northern suburbs is ready to transform those dreary days into moments of laughter, creativity, and family bonding — with a dash of friendly competition thrown in.
We understand you might be imagining soggy socks and cabin fever, but fear not! We've got a range of indoor activities to keep everyone entertained, from the littlest kids to the coolest teens and even the adults who secretly (or not-so-secretly) love to play. Here’s how to make the most of a rainy day at Capegate:
Can You Get Creative?
Feeling that rainy-day urge when you just want to do something creative? Look no further than PNA! It is the perfect store to help you go from boredom to Botticelli. Stock up on paints, brushes, glitter, and glue guns — the sky's the limit!
Here's a fun idea:
Have a family competition to create the wildest rainy-day creature. Think googly eyes, pipe cleaner tentacles, and colourful sparkles!
If you’re looking for something more low-key, grab a giant colouring book from Bargain Books and unwind with some mindful colouring. You might even discover a new favourite book genre while you’re there.
Become a Movie Buff
Sometimes, the best way to escape the rain is by diving into another world entirely. Capegate boasts one of the best movie theatres in Brackenfell. So, grab some popcorn and settle into the plush seats at Ster-Kinekor for an immersive cinematic experience. Check out the latest releases and avoid those spoilers!
Gamers Already Know What's Up
If you're a gamer you don't need rainy weather to get into game time, but maybe try out some different games! Grab plenty of board games, card games, and the latest video game releases, plus equipment at Game. The store will match your best price!
Here's a twist:
Dust off those classic board games from your childhood and see if your family's skills have improved. Extra points for the most dramatic trash talk during Monopoly!
Things To Do For Playtime
Rainy days can be a challenge for keeping kids entertained, but Capegate has the perfect solution: Toy Kingdom!
Let your little ones loose in this toy wonderland and watch their imaginations soar. Toy Kingdom has something for every playtime preference, from building block empires to cuddling the softest plushies ever.
The weather can also be a great opportunity to bond with your little ones by helping them explore their creativity. Maybe build a pillow fort together or create an obstacle course around the house! It's a sweet reminder for you also to let loose and explore like a kid again.
Cape Town Loves to Eat!
All this activity is bound to work up an appetite! Luckily, Capegate Shopping Centre has a fantastic selection of restaurants and eateries to keep everyone happy.
Whether you're in need of a quick grocery trip at the Pick n Pay or a family feast at a sit-down restaurant like Spur and Ocean Basket. There's something to satisfy every craving.
Change of Season = Change Of Decor
Okay, so technically, this isn't exactly "playing," but rainy days can be the perfect time to tackle those home decor projects you've been putting off. Take a stroll through Sheet Street and browse their selection of throws, cushions, and decorative items.
Even small updates can add a touch of sunshine to your home on a grey day, leaving you feeling refreshed and inspired.
