Rainy Day Activities in the Outer Banks

Since the weather has been hit or miss this week in the Outer Banks and you can’t hit the beach, I thought it would be a great idea to share some indoor activities around town.

I would say by the looks of the parking lot on Wednesday that the number one activity on a rainy day is heading to the movie theater.   We do have a few movie theatres in town they are:

1.  R/C Kill Devil Hills Movies 10

2.  R/C Corolla Movies 4 – 252-453-2999

3.  Pioneer Theater in Manteo – 252-473-2216

4.  R/C Hatteras Movie 4

A tie for first would be shopping!  We have hundreds of stores from antiques, nautical gifts, North Carolina treasures and souvenirs.  We even have an outlet mall the Tanger Outlets located in Nags Head. 

Another great indoor activity is bowling.  The Nags Head Bowling Center  not only has bowling but an arcade, a cafe and different bowling activities throughout the summer.

I also recommend a couple of games of laser tag.  This is fun for all ages, even adults!  In the Outer Banks we have two laser tag centers.  Gearworks Laser tag and Amusement center in Nags Head and Destination Fun in Kill Devil Hills.  Both locations have arcade games and indoor bounce centers

.

The island has several museums as well as aquariums that you can visit.  My favorite place to visit on a rainy day is one of the North Carolina Aquariums.  For a complete listing check out NC Beaches.

 

If you are looking for fun activities for adults you can take a cooking class with the Outer Banks Epicurean or head to one of the islands numerous spas for pampering.  For a complete listing of things to do in the Outer Banks go to:  Outerbanks.org.
