Activities for a rainy day on Phillip Island

Activities for a rainy day - Wet weather ideas Phillip Island

Whilst Phillip Island is known for its beautiful beaches, captivating nature, and an array of outdoor experiences, it's still a great destination to explore when the weather gets cooler and the rain sets in.

If staying warm inside is your kind of jam, then a foodie adventure around Phillip Island is a must! Enjoy a local wine next to a fire, a cup of tea or coffee paired with housemade scones or lunch overlooking the ocean, soaking up the energy of mother nature.

DO:

If you are up for exploring but staying dry, discover a world of chocolate at the Phillip Island Chocolate Factory or the intriguing side of illusions and magic at A Maze'N Things.

For a virtual journey into Antarctica and the Southern Ocean, be in awe at the augmented reality screens and fascinating facts on whales and marine life at the Antarctic Journey, or learn about the history of the Vietnam War at the National Vietnam Veterans Display. For motorsport fans, the Phillip Island Circuit's History of Motorsport Display is a must! And if you don't mind getting a little wet (if the weather isn't so kind), have some fun and race for the fastest lap at the Phillip Island Go-Karts!

Burn off some energy and test your agility at Clip N Climb Phillip Island, an indoor climbing centre with a range of experiences and walls that are a lot of fun for everyone! If you are up for a bowling challenge, round up a group and see who can get the most strikes at Phillip Island Tenpin Bowling and Entertainment Centre or hole-in ones at Grumpy's Crazy Golf!

If you feel like getting crafty, Clay & Co Phillip Island runs a range of workshops including a drop-in Paint Your Own Ceramics class on Saturdays 10am-3pm and everyday on the school holidays.

Clay & Co is primarily an artist co-working space in Cowes Industrial Estate, Phillip Island. They currently have five Artists' studios that house painters, sculptors and ceramic artists. The studio spaces vary in size and each studio is visible from the main gallery area through a glass panel door.

Visitors are welcome to view the artists at work, if the door is open feel free to pop in and meet the Artists!
