10 Indoor Activities For When It's Too Hot Outside

Skyjumper Indoor Trampoline Park is spread across 13,000 sq. ft. (that’s massive) and has 100 wall-to-wall interconnected trampolines you can jump on. They also have a big pool of foam cubes you can leap, hop, or go flying into. You can enjoy a jumpy game of volleyball on the trampolines, or go for the one-on-one variant. There’s dodgeball, too, so you can take out all your frustration with some well-aimed headshots.

DLF Phase 2's Oh My Game will have you playing footy with a zorb bubble as your costume. The game is played with only five players per team, and each half is only five minutes long. But the really tough part is being inside a zorb bubble and scoring a goal against your opponent – while making sure you knock them down too! That is the only way to win it. Up for the challenge?

In case football is not really your jam, opt for laser tag and the VR games here.

Best way to beat the heat? Entering an ice rink, of course. There are a couple of them around the city—iSkate in Gurgaon and Snow World in Noida. The former has a huge rink which can easily accommodate about 150 people, with enough instructors to guide you and a cafe to hang at. Snow World (previously known as Ski India), the latter, is Delhi NCR’s first ski resort, complete with skiing and slope tobogganing to bobsledding, snow-sledging, ice-skating and a snow carousel.

Who said you can’t jump and climb around like a monkey indoors? Delhi Rock in GK is just the place to do that. They’ve got high walls, an arch (which is a challenge to climb on top of), rope-climbing and more to put your arms and shoulders through a strength test.

These places offer everything from DIY fairy light-making and block-printing workshops to paint parties, and calligraphy and macrame classes.
