7 Best Indoor Summer Activities in Tuscaloosa
It's summer, and TBH, I am not all that psyched. Summer is THE WORST. It's hot and humid, and by the time August rolls around I am seriously questioning the decision making process that led me to live in the South.
(You can read all the reasons why I HAAAAAAATE Summer here, BTW.)
But I digress.
We're able to get through summer in the south thanks to mankind's greatest achievement: AIR CONDITIONING. Why go outside and melt like that one dude from Raiders of the Lost Ark when you can stay and play INSIDE? I mean, it's a no-brainer.
Lucky for us, Tuscaloosa has plenty of places to play--check out our list of the seven best summer activities in T-Town below!
