Top 10 rainy day activities

1. There’s a difference between board and bored.

Don’t knock the simplicity of cracking open a board game for your weekend fun. Te Awahou Nieuwe Stroom has an abundance of board games and jigsaw puzzles to keep the littles ones entertained (and the adults too!)

2. Movie magic

What’s better than getting cozy and watching a movie? Focal Point is Levin’s local cinema, and not to mention has amazing in-cinema food options too! Grab a hot chocolate and a bruschetta board and check out what blockbusters are playing.

3. Toys galore

Family fun for all ages, spend an arvo at Shannon’s Toy Circus. There you’ll find a toy and gaming museum, mini golf, skate rink, scooter and bmx ramps/ foam pits!

7. Tasting time

Head down to the Ōhau Wine cellar and have a local wine tasting session. Experience the unique aromatic flavours. 

8. Shop till ya drop

Take the time while the weather’s not great to explore some of our great boutique shops. Mewington’s Book Shoppe should be top of your list for great books or Petal & Bee Grocers for whole, local organic finds!

9. Slide down to the pools

Get drenched on purpose at the Levin Aquatic Centre. Did we mention there’s a hydroslide?!

10. All aboard!

Head to Tokomaru Steam Engine Museum to discover one of New Zealand’s largest collections of steam engines and early industrial heritage.
