Things to Do in Orlando on a Rainy Day: Visit Orlando Ice Den

Ice skating is not the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Florida, but a couple of hours on the rink at Orlando Ice Den is a nice respite from Orlando’s sometimes grossly hot temperatures! It’s one of my favorite things to do in Orlando on a rainy day!

Public skate sessions are offered daily (with a few exceptions for hockey tournaments) and last one hour and forty-five minutes. Weekday afternoon sessions are $17 and weekend sessions are $20 (both prices include skate rental). Individuals three and up can skate and rental size skates run from toddler size 8 to men’s size 15.

Epic Axe Throwing

Located near Lake Eola Epic Axe Throwing is a fun way to pass a rainy afternoon! Don close-toed shoes (required, and available for rent if you forget) and throw lightweight axes at wooden targets. Compete with your friends to see who is better at hitting the bullseye while sipping beer, wine, or hard seltzer (available for purchase).

For $30/person you get one hour of throwing time plus a shared coach to give you throwing tips. Reservations are suggested for groups of 4+. Open Thursday through Monday and suitable for ages 13 and up.
