When the kids get some time off school, it's every parent's hope that we get the best weather possible, so that their young ones can get outdoors and get active.
But, considering the place we're living in, good weather is never a sure thing!
Thankfully, there's plenty of indoor activities to keep the little ones entertained no matter what the weather.
Here's some things to do on a rainy day:
Dundonald Ice Bowl
The perfect place to go if it's not looking bright outisde. With an ice rink, food court, bowling area, arcades, and much more indoor delights, Dundonald Ice Bowl is a brilliant shout for a rainy day.
The SSE Arena
Currently undergoing a massive refurb, The SSE Arena is still very much open for business if it's wet outdoors.
With a cinema, bowling, restaurants, bars and many concerts and Belfast Giants matches, this is a fun-filled place to spend your day.
