Fun indoor activities to get you out of the smoke

I case you haven’t noticed, it’s incredibly smoky outside!

This type of air quality can have a lot of negative effects on people and according to health officials, the best thing to do is to stay inside.

We compiled a list of things to do within PG that are fun and still allow you to be inside!

Stay safe, PG!

Visit a brewery or winery

PG has some awesome local breweries and wineries, and this weather may be the perfect excuse to go visit them.

Drink and eat your woes away in a nicely air-conditioned building away from all the smoke!

Bring some friends and make an afternoon out of it. Just make sure to plan a safe ride home!

Go for a dip

It’s still incredibly hot and dry in PG. Hitting up a local lake or backyard pool would be ideal if it weren't for all the smoke.

The Prince George Aquatic Centre can cool you down and keep you smoke-free!

Not to mention, day passes are extremely affordable. Win-win!

Indulge in a cup of Joe

One of the awesome things about PG is the number of cute cafes we have!

All of our local cafes have an adorable atmosphere that is perfect for wasting away an afternoon in. Whether you bring a book or catch up with some old friends, these welcoming environments make for a great indoor activity.

Plus, they always have baked goods!

Two Rivers Gallery is always showcasing new and local artists.

You can tour around the facility or take an art lesson. Either way, you’ll be inside and away from any smoke.

Go to a movie

There are some awesome movies out right now!

From family-friendly to action and thriller, Famous Players 6 Cinemas has it all including drool-inducing popcorn.

Save us a seat!

Sweat it out

One of the best parts about summer is the ability to exercise outdoors. With this smoke, heavy exercise of any type is not recommended.

Lucky for us we have so many gyms, yoga studios and indoor fitness facilities that offer awesome classes.

Traditional activity not your thing? Try OVERhang rock climbing! You’ll be surprised by the workout.
