Outdoor Winter Fun with Kids

Play in the Snow

Take advantage of that snow and find a hill! Local parks are usually a great place to sled. Don’t forget to dress warmly and bring helmets! Don’t forget to make snow angels and build a snowman!

These are a few places to sled in Colorado Springs.

Go Skiing or Snowboarding

Skiing can be a fun family activity. Even if everyone can’t ski, there are usually other activities for the rest of the family to enjoy.

These tips for planning a ski trip with kids will make things go smoothly.

Go Ice Skating

In Colorado Springs, we have an outdoor rink that is only open during the winter. We try to go every year!

Outdoor Skate in the Park to celebrate a special birthday. It felt a little strange to be ice skating in 50 degree temps, but it was fun! #skateinthepark #iceskating #birthdayboy #kidlifeisthebestlife #familyfun #momliferocks #colorado #coloradosprings #weekendvibes #winter

Take a Winter Vacation or a Long Weekend

Snow tubing, snowmobiling, and exploring ice castles are just a few ideas. Here in Colorado, you could check out Snow Mountain Ranch or Winter Park. Just make sure to have the right gear for a snow trip.

Indoor Winter Fun with Kids

Check Out Indoor Activities

If the weather isn’t nice outdoors, check out fun indoor places in your area. We like to roller skate, swim, and jump on trampolines. It’s also a great chance to check out local museums or head to your library!

Have a PJ Day

Too cold to go out? Stay in and build a blanket fort, have some hot chocolate or watch a movie! It’s also a great time for a family game night.
