Top Indoor Activities In Hyderabad
Get Artsy At Lyzure
Lyzure is Hyderabad’s first art therapy cafe but it’s nothing like your usual cafe. It’s all about sipping on coffee, relaxing and making art, all at once. So instead of scrolling on your phone with a plate of fries, you can learn tufting and make your own fluffy rug, paint a T-shirt or make a custom phone case, whip up some scented candles to melt away woes and even play with clay on a pottery wheel. With no prior experience required, it’s perfect for some me-time, dates or group hangouts. And FYI, it is quietly becoming one of Jubilee Hills’ coolest spots.

Go For An Event At Lamakaan
Attending events at Lamakaan is always a unique experience. Every weekend, there is a new event and you never know who you will bump into. The place embraces the artistic and creative vibe, whether it’s a musical event, poetry reading, a play, art workshops or book readings. If you’ve been seeking a place for slow evenings, Lamakaan has a cosy and open charm; the energy is lively yet relaxed. Plus, there’s a small cafe where OG Hyderabadis flutter for chai and samosas. You don’t have to attend an event to snack at Lamakaan, you can simply find a spot and sit with your thoughts, a good book or a movie or TV show.

Get Trampolining At Fly Zone
Who says adrenaline rush is limited to outdoors? At Flyzone Trampoline Park, you can dunk like ace basketballers, backflip like an Olympic gymnast or have crazy fun with your pals and see who can jump the highest. Now, you can spend all your time bouncing around or head to the foam pit to play your version of Where's Waldo and try other small arcade-like activities. And when your battery is all drained out (happens to the best of us), snack at the in-house cafe and recharge.

Go Bowling & Play Cricket At Smaaash
Being indoors doesn’t have to be boring, Smaaash at Inorbit Mall is the place to be for arcade gaming. Dive into timeless favorites like Pac-Man, bike racing and car racing simulators and aim for highscores. For the real action, try your luck at the football and cricket simulators that amp up the difficulty level after every ball. Not just that, you also face off against legends of the game like Malinga, Shane Warne, Messi and Ronaldo. Before you call it a day, don’t forget to experience VR games like Walk The Plank, where you step onto a 50-foot high virtual plank, go bowling and dine and drink at the in-house restobar.

Yes, all of these different sections are housed under one roof, making this a brainy way to spend your day indoors. Oh, and another thing, check out the art gallery next door.
