Sunshine Coast Rainy Day Experiences

A grey sky doesn't have to mean a grumpy family. When the weather turns on the Sunshine Coast, there's still a ripper day out waiting indoors, from Mooloolaba's arcades and aquariums to the undercover fun at the Ginger Factory in the hinterland. Have a browse of our Sunshine Coast rainy day activities and turn a soggy forecast into one of the best days of the holiday.

Dive Into Something Dry Indoors

Some of the best rainy day fun on the Sunshine Coast is happening underwater, and you won't get a drop on you. Wander through tunnels of sharks, turtles and tropical fish at SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast in Mooloolaba, all under cover and out of the weather. If the kids are keen for a splash of their own, the Seal Swim at SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast lets them get in the water with the resident seals for a rainy day memory that easily beats a soggy beach walk.

Games, Golf and a Good Mystery

Nothing says rainy day like a bit of friendly competition. Putt your way through glow in the dark obstacles at Holey Moley Mini Golf in Mooloolaba, then let the kids loose on the latest games with an Arcade Game Card in Mooloolaba loaded up and ready to go. Older kids and puzzle mad parents alike will get a kick out of the Sunshine Coast Private Escape Room, a full hour of teamwork, clues and a race against the clock, all tucked safely away from the rain.

Undercover Fun at the Ginger Factory

Head inland to Yandina and let the little ones run wild at the Ginger Factory, a Sunshine Coast institution with rides, gardens and plenty of cover from the weather. The Ginger Factory Play Bundle is perfect for a shorter visit, while the Ginger Factory Play Taste and Discover Pass adds in the train, the boat ride and a taste of the famous ginger goodies, so you can make a full day of it even if the sky doesn't clear.
