Un-BRRR-lieveable Winter Activities For Kids
Squamish has lots to offer during the winter months for the little people in your family. Read on to discover our unique kid-approved activities.
Play in the Snow at Whistler Olympic Park
Take your kids for a snow day where favourite activities include nordic skiing, snowshoeing and biathlon. Let your little ones pick their favourite activity and be sure to cap off the day enjoying s'mores around the outdoor fireplace. S'more kits are available for purchase in the Day Lodge.
Take a History Lesson at Britannia Mine Museum
This National Historic Site and multi-award winning museum is a fun outing for the whole family. For most kids, the highlight of the visit will be the underground train tour where you will get a taste of the mining life–rocky tunnels, live drilling demonstrations, and a glimpse at total darkness. Other highlights include panning for precious gemstones and gold, experiencing the BOOM! show, exploring the Terra Lab, climbing on the giant dump truck and taking in gorgeous Howe Sound views.
View the Majestic Eagles
Each winter, thousands of bald eagles flock to our rivers to feast on salmon, creating an incredible wildlife-watching experience. One of the best places to take it all in is the Eagle Run Viewing Shelter along the Squamish River. With interpretive panels sharing insights into the eagle life cycle, covered areas and benches, it’s the perfect place to watch these majestic birds from a safe and respectful distance.
Ride the Sea to Sky Gondola
Looking for a fun-filled family day in the mountains? The Sea to Sky Gondola has plenty to keep the kids entertained, from snowshoeing adventures and a thrilling tube park (weather permitting) to exploring the winter trails and enjoying the mountain scenery. Snowshoe rentals and guided tours are available, while the Summit Lodge is the perfect place to warm up with a hot chocolate, grab a bite to eat or relax by the outdoor firepit. Add in those incredible panoramic views and you've got a pretty special family day out!
Hangout Inside!
Squamish has plenty of indoor activities to keep the whole family entertained.
Let the kids burn off some energy at The Ninja Gym and Airhouse Squamish, where you can bounce on trampolines, try the skateboard mini ramp, practise parkour and gymnastics, or have a go on the rings and bars. Little ones can enjoy playtime at Tiny Tots Gym, while creative minds can get hands-on with fun projects at Create Makerspace.
For something a little different, challenge the family to some friendly competition with games at Arrow Wood Games, or head to Ground Up Climbing Centre to climb, play and test your skills on the walls.
Whether you're looking for active adventures, creative fun or something educational, there's no shortage of ways to keep everyone busy indoors in Squamish!
