When the winter season rolls around, we generally put on our lazy cap and hibernate because we are under the impression that snow = no fun activities. Don’t let the chilly weather stop you from having a blast this season!
Here are 5 must-try winter activities that will keep the fun going all year round. Plus, enter to win a $25 Visa gift card to get started!
This is the best way to balance between hot and cold temperatures. While the water keeps your body warm, the cool air gives that relaxing effect. Perfect for a romantic date or a girls’ night out, especially while sipping on a glass of wine!
You can never go wrong with a fun photoshoot! This is a great way to get priceless photos of your kids as well as add content to your social media accounts and/or blog. Grab your girlfriends, family, or significant other to capture those special moments!
If it really is too much to go outside, bring out your inner creative self by building an indoor fort. Take creative control and design a cozy space where you can watch a movie and enjoy delicious snacks with the people you love most. A great way to stay indoors during this chilly season!
One of the coolest winter destinations! Though there are only a few Ice Castle locations across the United States, it's worth it to plan a road trip to see one. Or check out if your town has similar activities such as sculpture carving or ice skating shows. If not, create your own sculpting project in your own backyard.
Yes, you read that correctly. Ziplining isn’t just for the warmer seasons; it’s a great way to feel that sense of adventure all year long. Without buzzing insects, this activity is ten times more fun, even in the cold. Check out winter resorts and family ski or tubbing parks. There are more ziplining locations open during the winter than you may realize.

I like to go on hikes in the winter.
I am actually not a big fan of winter activities now that I'm an adult. But as a kid I loved sledding.
Going up to snowy mountains is our favorite winter activity.
It would be sledding if we have enough snow. Otherwise I just take my dog for a walk.
I like to take my dogs outside and watch them play in the snow.
I like to get the kids outside and ski and hike.
Bird watching and walking down to our pond is a favorite winter time activity.
I love to play in the snow with my dogs and believe it or not - shoveling my sidewalk and driveway.
I like cross country skiing.
I like to hibernate. :)
Sled riding and ice skating and then home to a big mug of hot chocolate and a good book.
I love going ice skating with friends and watching hockey!
Snowmobiling, brisk walks, outdoor Lights or Ice festivals.
My favorite winter activities are bird-watching and observing other critters on our property. Lots of deer this year!
My fave winter activity is Netflix and hot chocolate. I'm allergic to the cold so I don't go out much.
