With August on the horizon, you’ve likely had your fair share of pool days + outdoor fun. But if you’re looking to beat the heat or make the most of a rainy day, we have four indoor activities to try.
📚 The Book Loft, 631 S. 3rd St.
- Head to German Village and explore 32 rooms filled with thousands of different genres of books for middle school students through adults. We recommend touring the store online before heading in.

- Pro tip: Otherworld is open Wednesday-Monday and reservations are required, so be sure to grab your tickets online.
🧗♂️ Play: CBUS, 535 Lakeview Plaza Blvd.
