You could go to a music concert at CPAC on Cuesta campus, or PAC on Cal Poly campus, if there are any on during the rainy days.

Madonna Inn gift shops, bar, bathrooms, garden

A popular outing is to visit Madonna Inn and check out its gift shops, bar by the steakhouse, and, surprisingly, its bathrooms.

If you can find a parking nearby, you could go inside the mission, and then run into a cafe nearby.

Attractive public market. You can hang out here when it's raining.

University Square Shopping Center, SLO
