8 local indoor spots for rainy Memorial Day

8 local indoor spots for rainy Memorial DayShared from Dianne Hibbs of Kingspoint Mom's site Eight Indoor Spots for a Rainy Memorial Day Weekend in Humble and the NE Houston area (with a sweet stop on the way home)The forecast says rain all weekend. If the lake plans and pool day are off the table, here are eight places close to home that hold up just as well when the weather doesn't cooperate.For something slower and creative 1. The Mudpie Company in Kingwood Town Center, 36 N Main Street. Paint your own pottery, no appointment needed, open seven days a week. The kind of slow afternoon that feels indulgent in the best way.
2. ShowBiz Cinemas Kingwood, 350 Northpark Drive. Recliners, full bar, and the kind of theater where you can spend three hours and forget what the sky is doing.For families with kids or grandkids in town 3. Houston Interactive Aquarium & Animal Preserve, 5440 N Sam Houston Pkwy E in Humble. Stingrays, sloths, lemurs, a walk-in lorikeet aviary, and a touch tank.
4. Humble Family Skate Center, 320 N Houston Ave. Roller skating since 1977. Hardwood rink, themed nights, the kind of place that feels exactly like it did when your kids were little, because it probably was.
5. Main Event Humble, next to Costco off Townsen. Bowling, laser tag, the gravity ropes course, full arcade. Easy call if you need to burn off restless energy.For groups or a different kind of fun 6. Escape It Houston in Humble. Themed escape rooms, a 60-minute clock, and a built-in reason for everyone to put their phones down.
7. Range USA Humble, 9245 FM 1960 Bypass Rd W. Twenty indoor lanes, firearm rentals available, instruction for any skill level. A rainy weekend is actually a good time to brush up.
8. Max Bowl Humble, 32 lanes, arcade, laser tag, and a sky walk. A little more old-school than Main Event, which is part of the charm.For the way home🍧 Jeremiah's Italian Ice, 4521 Kingwood Drive, in the shopping center just east of HEB. Because if you have to drive home in the rain, you might as well do it with a Gelati in your hand.A long rainy weekend is also a quiet permission slip to slow down. Open the shades anyway. Make the coffee. Let the kids stay in pajamas a little longer. The weather will pass. The memory of an unhurried Saturday tends to stick around.What's your go-to rainy day spot around here? Always adding to my list.
