10 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Spokane That You Shouldn't Miss

December 16, 2021 Roseanne Arnett

A mixture of urban chic and outdoor adventures, Spokane has something for everyone. Taste food by James-Beard-nominated chefs at Sante or The Wandering Table. Listen to live music at The Bartlett or the symphony at the iconic Martin Woldson Theater at The Fox. Glide over the breathtaking Spokane Falls, situated right downtown, in the SkyRide, rated as one of the world’s best gondolas. Kids can feed the Garbage-Eating Goat or slide down the giant Radio Flyer Red Wagon in Riverfront Park.

The Martin Woldson Theater at The Fox is located in beautiful downtown Spokane, WA, in the heart of the Lilac City's entertainment district. The Theater opened in 1931, as a 2300-seat movie theate. The recently renovated Martin Woldson Theater at The Fox, which seats approximately 1600 today, has promoted the arts, enthralling and entertaining old and young across the decades. Today, the theater exemplifies Spokane's rich and vibrant performing arts scene, housing the Spokane Symphony, as well as acclaimed entertainers, dance troupes, musical acts, and theater talents.

Gorgeous theater in Art Deco design. The sound quality is also wonderful. I have attended many events at this theater and am always impressed. There is also a lounge area with tables to relax and visit. This a great size theater for the symphony. Other venues are too large and not intimate.

Auntie's Bookstore

Reviewed By BenLar137 - Calgary, Canada

We loved this book store! They had an amazingly thorough collection of books, and was it ever fun to browse! We were looking for some specific titles and authors, however, and they didn't have them, but staff were so helpful to us in finding that out. The historic building they are in is equally stunning, and is a treat just to see on its own. Don't forget to look up when you visit!

Overbluff Cellars

Reviewed By Oly55 - Olympia, United States

We’ve stopped by here several times & have been favorably impressed on every visit. The red wines are very good & yes their prices reflect the good quality. The facility itself is an old cracker factory & has a rustic chic feel. All the tasting room staff are friendly & welcoming. The tasting pours are generous & the tasting fee of $10 very reasonable, the tasting fee is dropped when a bottle purchased. Overbluff Cellars is definitely recommenced by this reviewer especially if you’re a red wine fan.

Avenue West Gallery

An artists' co-op gallery, this shop offers paintings, photography, woodworking, fabric arts, jewelry, pottery, metal sculpture, greeting cards and more. It is staffed by the artists, so each visit is a chance to meet one of them. While there is more nature art than anything else, there is great variety.

This is a large vintage Catholic church set on the Gonzaga University campus. During the school year, the choir is usually manned by students and they are very good!

My SECOND performance at The Bing. A real thrill to perform at the theater where Bing Crosby performed. Memories live there for all who go there.
