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 the 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
Choose an eagle walking tour and take your whole family for an active adventure exploring some of Squamish's best eagle habitats. Your tour includes a knowledgeable guide and sightseeing opportunities to some of Squamish's most iconic landmarks.
Ride the Sea to Sky Gondola
Snowshoeing, a tube park and lots of places to play in the snow make the Sea to Sky Gondola one of the best spots to take the kids for a full day of activities. There are snowshoe rentals and guided tours available, the tube park is epic, and the Summit Lodge at the top offers warm drinks, food, an outdoor firepit and unbeatable views.
Jump Around Inside!
All ages love to go wild jumping and playing indoors at The Ninja Gym and Airhouse Squamish, a freestyle training centre. Drop-In daily on to the trampolines, ride the skateboard mini ramp, practice your parkour and gymnastics skills on the spring floor, and play on the rings/bars. These are active experiences in a safe and fun learning environment. Both spots are a fantastic place for kids and adults alike to train and play.
