YOUR RAINY DAY BUCKET LIST

While we typically enjoy lots of sunshine here in Charlottetown, being an Island we do, in fact, get a variety of weather. But rest assured, the romance and beauty of our landscapes are striking in all seasons and weather. Escape with a book in a cozy café. Check out a live musical performance or head to the theatre. Spend a morning at the spa and soak up a little R&R. Or if you want to explore the countryside and shoreline, hop in the car and take a misty drive to the seaside.

Provided you’re dressed appropriately and ready to embrace whatever comes your way, there are so many ways to appreciate the moodier weather of our Island. After all, nobody does cozy quite like us.

FUN & GAMES

Play the day away inside Charlottetown’s newest hot spot for all ages, PonyBoat Social Club. From darts, pool and ping pong to arcade games and carnivalstyle snacks, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Challenge your brain with a round of trivia at places like Churchill Arms, PEI Brewing Company, Hunter’s Ale House, HopYard, or The Old Triangle.

Play a few rounds of glow bowling at The Alley and treat the gang to their famous “5-pin platter” afterwards.

Work on your swing at All About Golf's simulators or try mini golf in the Confederation Court Mall.

Paint your own unique piece of pottery, play hundreds of different board games, take in trivia, and eat delicious snacks at The Hive + Honeycomb.

Retail Therapy

FOOD & DRINK

Take a tour with Gahan House Brewery, PEI’s original microbrewery, PEI Brewing Co., or COWS Creamery at the Milky Way.
