Updated August 2024

 

(1) Read a Book

Cuddling up with a good book is one of life’s greatest luxuries on a rainy day. Winston-Salem has several local bookstores where you can find your next read!

 

(2) Shop Local

If you’re feeling inspired, creative, and maybe a little funky, head to Design Archives.  This store offers a uniquely curated selection of everything you could imagine, from locally-made jewelry and art to a solid record selection and vintage clothing. Check out even more vintage shops!

The classic shopping hub, Thruway, is also a fantastic place to go on a rainy day.  Thruway offers several stores that appeal to just about everyone, like Francesca’s, Great Outdoor Provision Company, and many more!

 

(3) Catch Some Air

Do the kids have a lot of pent-up energy? Take them to Urban Air! The trampoline park has climbing walls, bumper cars, ropes courses, and – of course – trampolines.

 

(4) Get Your DIY On

Tapping into your more creative side can be one of the greatest ways to escape a rainy day funk. We’ve rounded up a list of awesome DIY classes near Winston-Salem.

(5) Head to an Art Gallery

Winston-Salem is known as the City of Arts and Innovation for a reason! Wandering the halls and galleries of the Reynolda House or NCMA Winston-Salem (formerly SECCA) is a perfect rainy day activity.

(6) Play Indoor Games

Head to ROAR to play a game of boutique bowling, take a swing at their golf simulator, or experience Twisted Putter, ROAR’s indoor mini-golf course!

If you live closer to Clemmons, check out The Playground Golf + Sports Bar. True to their name, you can play golf on their simulators, along with football, dodgeball, and more!

 

(7) Play Games at a Local Bar

Bars and pubs offer more than just great drinks: play a round of pool or darts, try to beat the high score on an arcade machine, or take the stage for karaoke/open mic night. Check out our local bar guide!

 

(8) Watch a Movie 

Watch a movie at our local downtown theatre, a/perture. Enjoy local concessions, beer and wine, and blockbuster movies – or maybe take a chance on an indie film.
