When you’ve scrolled to the end of Instagram and just finished all 10 seasons of Friends on Netflix for the 200th time (but also not a bad idea to make it 201 times since it’s leaving Netflix at the end of this year), then it might be time to switch up your stuck-in-the-house routine.

Here’s a list of 12+ indoor activities in Columbia – for when it’s too hot to breathe outside + our daily summer thunderstorms just won’t let up.

Go bowling

Boutique bowling alley, restaurant and bar The Grand on Main not only has seven lanes to bowl – but also arcade games, shuffleboard, lifesize Jenga + more, to keep you occupied for hours on end.
