Rainy Day Florida: Bowling, Arcades, Karting and Indoor Skydiving

October 16, 2026 · 4 min read · My FL Guide

A Florida rainstorm does not care about your plans. The good news is that the state has an indoor floor plan for exactly this: bowling centres with 20 to 64 lanes (each lane count below is the one our own listing carries), arcades the size of a supermarket, electric karting under a roof, trampoline parks, axe throwing, escape rooms and a vertical wind tunnel. There is not a single price in this piece, and that is deliberate: every one of these listings says the same thing, which is that rates live on the venue's own site or at the end of its phone line. Check before you go.

Two things worth knowing before you buy

First, multi-attraction centres price per attraction rather than per person, and most of them also sell packages. Our Main Event listing describes per-activity pricing with multi-attraction passes available, which matters if you are buying for a group where one child wants the arcade and nobody wants the ropes course. Second, everything in this piece is a listing in My FL Guide with its own address and directions, so you can sort the Activities tab by distance when the sky opens and pick the closest dry room.
