With hurricane season upon us, and the last few weeks bringing more rain that Hawaii is used to seeing, we can all easily feel cooped up in our homes. Despite the fact that most cities in Hawaii don’t receive a ton of rain, there are still some pretty awesome indoor activities where you can escape the rain – or enjoy the air conditioning – for a few hours.

1) Head to a museum, like Honolulu’s Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum.

2) Do some shopping – Oahu’s Pearlridge is enclosed, with a tram running between the two halfs of the mall, and the Shops at Wailea on Maui are covered.

3) Enjoy the water without being drenched at the Waikiki Aquarium or the Maui Ocean Center.

4) Take in a show. Depending on where you live, there are a variety of live entertainment options to choose from.

6) Or check out a local bowling alley.

13) Wait ten minutes – because when it’s not hurricane season, you can bet that the rain will let up pretty quickly, a rainbow will appear, and you can get back to whatever outdoor activity you had previously planned.
