While some like to take it easy on rainy days, others like to release pent-up energy by going to one of the many exciting attractions on the Sunshine Coast. At SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast, you’ll get to explore the water and all its inhabitants while staying dry. For those who are more adventurous, try Rockit Climbing Gym or the Big Boing trampoline! Alternatively, escape the showers and combine the best of classic ten-pin bowling with a drink at the fully licensed Spinners Bar & Bowl in Caloundra.
