Colorado is known for having 300 sunny days a year, but if you happen to be here during the 65 that aren’t sunny...no problem. Steamboat Springs has plenty of indoor activities for rainy days. Here are five.
1. The Bud Werner Memorial Library. The library is a haven on a rainy day. Find a cozy nook and curl up with a book or magazine. Check the library schedule at steamboatlibrary.org for activities for babies, toddlers and elementary school children while you’re there.
2. Howelsen Ice Arena. The local ice rink offers public skate sessions but perhaps one of their most popular offerings is bumper cars. View the schedule online at steamboatsprings.net and sign up to reserve a spot.
3. Steamboat Climbing Collective. This indoor climbing gym offers both children and adult programs, plus open gym times. Full day and half day camps are available in the summer as well. Learn more at steamboatclimbingcollective.com.
4. Bowling. A round of bowling at Snow Bowl is a great option for a rainy day. Reserve a lane – in hourly increments – online and rent shoes when you arrive. Bonus: the kitchen is great and there’s a full bar. Check it out at snowbowlsteamboat.com.
5. Distillery Tour. Book a tour at Mythology Distillery and learn about the local company, the distillation process, the impact local climate has on barrel aging and much more. Tours are an hour long and include tastings. Visit mythologydistillery.com to book a tour.
