Brrr… Jacksonville has been seeing some really chilly days these past couple weeks.  Going out, seeing people, and doing things is way less enticing when the air is crisp and you have a cozy, warm bed to burrow into at home.  I don’t know about you, but with all these cool days I’m itching to get out with the added benefit of staying toasty.  If you are tired of hiding from the cold, too, and need some fun, indoor activities to do with your friends, we’ve got your back.

Sunray Cinema

This is a classic: go see a movie!  Now presenting: the Sunray Cinema in Riverside.  If you love retro vibes and indie films, you’re going to love it.  You can always go for the standard popcorn and a movie, but Sunray offers a full menu.  Fully equipped with pizza, sandwiches, and desserts.  Their fried pickles are chef’s kiss.  

 

Autobahn Indoor Speedway & Events

Like a little exhilaration?  The Autobahn Indoor Speedway & Events has a multitude of activities for every age group.  Into the whole lumberjack vibe?  Go axe throwing.  Have a need for speed?  Take one of their go-karts for a spin.  Like being immersed in a virtual game? Make your way to the arcade.  They have something for everyone, and you could spend the whole day here.

 

Cummer Museum Art & Gardens

Get distinguished and cultured by perusing the Cummer Museum.  Modern, abstract, traditional… No matter your tastes, the Cummer has many pieces that you will appreciate. You can take your time and just relax surrounded by creativity at its finest. 

 

Hamburger Mary’s

Dinner and a show? Sign me up!  Not only does Hamburger Mary’s have delicious burgers, apps, and desserts, it also houses the most fun drag show.  The atmosphere is like no other with positivity radiating off of every employee and patron in the building.  Get a warm meal and enjoy the show.

 

The Brumos Collection

Walk the line of speed and beauty with The Brumos Collection.  Displays of notable cars and automobile artifacts are housed around every turn.  Enjoy strolling through the museum to admire Brumos Racing cars and take a walk through the history of these remarkable machines.  

 

Kanine Social

Barks and brews.  Enough said, right?  Check out Kanine Social and take your best pal with you.  They have a huge outdoor play area, but for these chilly days Kanine Social is perfect with a commendable indoor space.  Grab a drink and watch your doggo enjoy some time playing with other pups while you get to enjoy mingling with the other humans.

 

Culhane’s Irish Pub

Grab some banger’s n’ mash at Culhane’s Irish Pub.  Like watching sports?  Well, get out of the house and watch your team play at the local pub.  Feel transported to Ireland and cheer on your favorite football club.  Culhane’s is a great spot to take your family, friends, and kids.

The Caffeinated Cat

Coffee and cat snuggles?  It can’t get much better than that.  Go grab a drink to warm your soul all while enjoying getting constant love and admiration from some fur babies.  Everything about this situation meows cozy.

 

Chamblin’s Book Mine

Get lost within the stacks and get transported to another world.  Chamblin’s has a vast amount of books that you can fall in love with.  I promise you will not be able to leave here without a pile of books in your arms.
