STORMY WITH A CHANCE OF FUN
Our Indoor Weekend Picks Around The Loop
The forecast may be calling for rain, but that doesn’t mean the weekend is a wash. From museums and live performances to indoor golf, bowling, roller skating, climbing, art, and plenty for the kids, we’re taking you through some of the best ways to spend a stormy day across Hunterdon and Bucks—no sunshine required.
With stormy weather in the forecast, hours and events may change. Always check directly with each location before heading out.
HUNTERDON COUNTY
CLINTON
Hunterdon Art Museum
Duck out of the rain and into the galleries. Explore the museum’s newest exhibitions, with a special Fall Exhibition Opening Reception happening Sunday afternoon.

The Gravity Vault
Trade the trails for the climbing walls. Whether you’re a first-timer or know your way around a harness, it’s a fun way to get moving while staying completely dry.
The Crossing Flemington’s Historic Courthouse
Live theater inside Flemington’s historic courthouse. This new musical brings the story surrounding Washington’s legendary crossing of the Delaware to the stage for a very fitting Hunterdon County experience.
FRENCHTOWN
ArtYard
A rainy afternoon made for art. Head inside this contemporary arts center and spend some time exploring what’s on view.
Keigwin + Company’s Stage Door: ArtYard
Make it a night out with live performance at ArtYard—a little dance, a little theater, and something completely different for your weekend plans.
Frenchtown Roller Rink
Lace up and go retro. Music, roller skates, and some wonderfully old-school fun make this an easy rainy-day pick.
