Cape Town doesn’t slow down when the weather turns bad. In fact, the city is packed with plenty of indoor plans that are far more fun than sitting under a blanket doomscrolling. Think jazz jam sessions, backgammon nights on Bree Street, Dungeons & Dragons meetups, flower workshops, and 26 more indoor ideas for gloomy days.
Maison Play Café leans into a full pretend-play setup, with a space that feels like a tiny city than a typical play café. Kids move between themed zones like a supermarket, bakery, kitchen, dress-up station and car repair shop, while parents settle in with coffee and something to eat nearby.
Hours: Daily, 9am to 6pm
Cost: From free to R290, book via Maison Play Café’s website
