Rainy Day? Get Out and Play!


Spring is a beautiful time of the year. However, it brings with it something most people aren’t very fond of, the rain. Sometimes it is nice to cuddle up on the couch and watch a movie or read a good book with the sound of the rain hitting the roof.  Other times you want to get out and do something fun, but the rain ruins your plans. Knoxville has some great indoor activities that are certain to make you forget all about the rain. Don’t let this rainy spring season stop you from going out and doing things you enjoy. I have listed some fun ideas, whether it is with your family, friends, or significant other, you will be sure to have a blast!

 
Jump Jam
                   Jump Jam not only has over 50 trampolines to play on, but they also provide other fun activities like…

dodgeball and basketball,

tightrope,

foam pits,

and a viewing area.
 
Jump Jam also offers different events depending on the night of the week. Friday and Saturday nights from 9pm to 12am are their most popular nights called “Club Jam.” They turn off all the lights and fill the room with colorful laser beams. Thursday nights are devoted to “Theme Night.” They have fun ideas like 80’s, Dubstep, Hip Hop, Pajama night and more. They switch it up so that it never gets old. Jump Jam also caters to families with younger children. “Kid Jump” is every weekday from 9am to 10am where they offer a special discount for children 6 and under. However, if you want to go with your whole family, Monday night is the time to do it. From 6pm to 9pm is “Family Night,” where everyone can jump for only $35. I went to Jump Jam recently with a group of my friends and had an amazing time. I have been dying to go back ever since!

Laser Quest

My dad used to take my brother and me to Laser Quest all the time when we were little. It was one of our favorite things to do. We have even been talking about hopefully going back sometime soon. It doesn’t matter how old you are, everyone really gets into it and has a great time! To be honest, I think my dad might have actually enjoyed it a little more than my brother and me. Laser Quest combines the games of hide-and-seek and tag with the excitement of laser beams and guns. The game takes place in a large arena with large buildings, black lights, fog, and music to add to the experience. For more information check out their website http://www.laserquest.com/.




Spring is such a beautiful season and you should enjoy it. Don’t let the rain put a damper on your day! Knoxville provides many indoor activities that not only allow you to get out of the house, but that make for a great time. Don’t think you are too old for these ideas I have listed. I can assure you, no matter how old you are, you will have a great time!
