From April to June Hyderabad regularly crosses 40°C, and July to September brings sudden downpours. Here are the best indoor, air-conditioned things to do in the city when the weather refuses to cooperate.

Gamestorii live-action gaming arena

Fully indoor and air-conditioned, with 9 tech-powered game rooms and sessions of 60, 90 or 120 minutes. It is the most active thing you can do in Hyderabad without stepping outside, and up to 40 people can play at once.

Salar Jung Museum

One of the largest one-man collections in the world. Give it at least three hours.

Birla Science Museum and Planetarium

Great for families and rainy afternoons.

Bowling, arcades and trampoline parks

Found in most large malls across the city.

Private theatres

Book a screen for your group in Madhapur or Jubilee Hills.

Planning around the weather

In summer, keep outdoor sightseeing before 10 am and after 6 pm, and put an indoor activity like Gamestorii in the afternoon slot. In monsoon, always have an indoor backup booked.
