Cloudy skies and wet weather send most Austinites running for cover. What can we say? We're an outdoorsy, sunshine-loving bunch.

Most of the Capital City's attractions involve swimming holes and food truck patios -- but when guests come to town during rare, dreary weather, we still want to show them the best of our city.

So whether you're entertaining family or just need to get out of the house, we've rounded up some things to do in Austin when it's raining.

Alamo Drafthouse

Going to the movies may be one of the more obvious, dry activities, but Alamo Drafthouse takes it to a whole different level. Sip on adult shakes, munch on restaurant-quality food, and enjoy a cellphone-free theater.

Museum hop

While Austin isn't necessarily known for its museum scene, there are some gems that are worth checking out. The Blanton Museum of Art on the edge of the University of Texas at Austin campus features a variety of contemporary art. For a dose of state pride, there's the Bullock Texas State History Museum across the street (did we mention it has an IMAX theater?). Also conveniently located on the UT campus are the LBJ Presidential Library and the Harry Ransom Center.

Chicken Shit Bingo

Ginny's Little Longhorn Saloon has been keeping Austin weird for over a decade. Every Sunday night, patrons test their luck on a makeshift bingo board by buying a square and waiting for a chicken to deposit the goods on it. Even though CNN named it 2015's must-see quirky destination, locals have been placing bets for years.

Laugh it off

Sometimes the best remedy for the rainy day blues is to just laugh it off. Spots like Coldtowne Theater, Cap City Comedy Club and Esther's Follies offer drinks, bites and plenty of laughs.

Bowling at the Union Underground

If you're in the campus area, the Texas Union has underground, glow-in-the-dark bowling -- you won't even notice the gloomy weather. While there are plenty of fun bowling alleys around town, we hear this may be the cheapest.

Shop local

Support keeping Austin local by getting lost in one of our many book and record stores. Cratediggers will love places like Waterloo Records, End of an Ear and Breakaway Records. Book lovers can head to BookPeople, South Congress Books or Farewell Books.

Pinballz

Let your inner child loose at Pinballz arcade with vintage pinball machines and arcade games galore.
