Rainy Day Activities in SouthPark

Rain, Rain, Go Away.

SouthPark is full of experiences that make any rainy day a delight. Whether you want to wind down, try new foods, update your wardrobe, or spend time together, find over a dozen ways to enjoy rainy days this season:

1) Spend a day at SouthPark Regional Library, where you can explore one of their daily programs, enjoy a book in the cafe (complete with large windows that are perfect for storm watching), and rent one of your favorite movies to enjoy after you get home. Plus, check out the on-site 3D printer.

2) Grab lunch at Rooster's, where you can watch chefs cook local ingredients over a wood-fired grill. Save room for dessert, because after your meal you can post up at Copain, the adjoining pastry and bread shop perfect for remote work or coffee with a friend.

3) The perfect tea party awaits at Chez Marie. Choose from a selection of 9 different French teas, expertly paired with finger sandwiches and pastry delights every afternoon.
