What to do in Naples on a rainy day

Below you will find some of our favorite indoor activities to educate, entertain, and keep you (and the kids) occupied on those rainy Naples afternoons.

Rainy day activities for your restless little ones

Bowling

Who doesn’t love bowling? This is a great way to wait out the rain, and what’s more nostalgic than a bowling alley? Bowland has 2 Naples locations and is family-friendly bowling at its best.

Indoor Play Zone

When your little ones are stuck inside the house it can sometimes feel like you have twice as many children running around. Luckily, there is an indoor option for play on rainy days. Bounce Trampoline Sports offers so much jumping fun. Trampolines, foam pit, and trampoline dodge-ball are just some of the fun activities you will find.

Golisano Children’s Museum of Naples

Great spot for a rainy day. The museum teaches children to learn through play. They are a ton of great indoor activities.

Plenty to do no matter your age
