After a long, cold winter, the start of summer can’t come soon enough. Gone are the chilly days of snow boots, scraping your car in the morning, and bundling up in a down jacket before leaving the house, replaced by shorts, sun dresses, and outdoor summer fun. Unless, of course, it rains.
Rain in the summer can be a letdown, especially when you had a fun day planned, but all is not lost. With so many exciting indoor activities to enjoy in the summer, there’s no reason to let a little rain spoil the fun.
Hit the Movies
With a huge lineup of thrillers and action flicks hitting the theaters this summer, use the rain as an excuse to grab some friends and see a new release. Whether you favor Wonder Woman or the new Transformers film, an afternoon at the movies is a great way to enjoy some air conditioning, popcorn, and an extra large Icee. Want to save? Hit a matinee to avoid prime time ticket prices.
Visit a Museum
Summer can be a slow period for these indoor attractions, but a rainy day is a great time to explore some of Denver’s best museums. Take a look at the past, present, and future at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science or browse works by Andy Warhol and Pablo Picasso at the Denver Art Museum. If you’d rather explore scientific innovations, the Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum has plenty to do and see.
Enjoy an Arcade Day
Who says arcade games are just for kids? At Brunswick Zone, parents and children alike can enjoy bowling, billiards, arcade games, and even laser tag. One of Denver’s top destinations for all ages fun, it’s easy to spend an entire day revisiting old school games or challenging friends to an all-out pool competition. With plenty of snacks for the little ones and pitchers of beer for those 21 and up, this inclusive destination is just right for everyone.
Fight Your Way to Freedom
If you’re looking for heart-pounding excitement, an escape room is the ideal place to enjoy a rainy day. A group activity perfect for both casual afternoons and coordinated events, this unique challenge puts 2 to 12 people to the test with a series of intellectually-stimulating clues. Each team enters a themed room with only 60 minutes to solve all of the clues necessary to escape. Rooms are full of challenges, puzzles, codes, and more that can help you decipher your way out before it’s too late. Some clues will lead to you to other secrets within the room, like additional clues and hidden secondary rooms, while others will show you the secret way out. With a ticking clock, every moment counts as you work together with your team to come out on top.
As Denver’s top escape room, EscapeWorks Denver is the best place to explore when the weather turns from sun to rain. From family outings to birthday parties and corporate events, any gathering is the right time to try your best to escape. Get in touch today to learn more about planning your next outing at EscapeWorks Denver!
Great experience! We went with a group of 7 for team building and tried the Speakeasy room. Serenity/Randy was amazing, she really added to the overall immensely enjoyable experience. Can't recommend this place enough. 10/10, make it an 11/10 for Randy!

We absolutely loved this escape room! We did Vampire Hunter, which is their newest room and had amazing theming. Our game master, Sean, was the absolute best! He helped guide us when it was needed but was great about keeping us immersed in the game and not providing too many hints. Would highly recommend!

The room was really inventive and fun! Top of the line escape rooms with top of the line staff. Serenity and Wyatt did an amazing job setting the mood for the whole thing and made the event one I look forward to experiencing again when I'm in the Denver area.

Had a small amount of time to spend in Denver before needing to head to the airport. This place was amazing and super fun! It was about an hour experience, which was the perfect amount of time! The staff, especially Serenity and Wyatt, were awesome, super kind, and incredibly fun! Did the Vampire Hunter room and it was super interesting!

We did two rooms on the same day and can definitely say that Vampire Hunter is the best room we have ever been to. We have done over 25 rooms and really loved the theme and puzzles to that room. There was a ton of immersion with the props and decor. I definitely recommend checking it out with a group. Thanks Wyatt and Serenity for being awesome gamemasters!

We did the Vampire Hunters escape room, and it was AMAZING! Serenity and Wyatt were SO helpful and positively essential to fully immerse us in the experience. If I were to go again, they would be a must. (And- they didn’t laugh at us when we were stupid. ☺️)
