Top 10 Halton Winter Activities for the Whole Family
1. Sleigh Rides @ Mountsberg
Families and couples will enjoy horse-drawn sleigh rides into the sparkling, snow covered sugar bush where they will enjoy a hot chocolate beside a crackling bonre. Rides are oered weekends and holidays December 26 until February 20.
2. Winter on the Trails @ Hilton Falls
The trails this time of year are perfect for winter hiking: bring bird seed to feed the chickadees at the falls. Chickadees are specially adapted for winter weather and they’re very friendly!
3. Year Round Camping @ Rattlesnake Point
There’s so much to do during the winter at Rattlesnake Point. Give winter camping a try with your family and
friends! It’s all in the preparation and planning beforehand.
4. Cross-Country Skiing @ Hilton Falls
If you’re after brisk exercise, try cross-country skiing on the Hilton Falls Trail. This trail is groomed (when conditions allow) so you’ll warm up during this winter work-out!
5. Moonlight Snowshoe Hikes @ Crawford Lake
Discover the magic of winter at night, the snow illuminated by moonlight and the stars bright in the night sky. Your guide will lead you on a snowshoe adventure through this beautiful landscape (adult and family hikes
available).
6. Royal Botanical Gardens @ Hendrie Valley
The Royal Botanical trail heads (including the Arboretum) are open year round, from dawn to dusk. Be sure to
bring some bird seed while you pass through Hendrie Valley!
7. Snowboarding @ Glen Eden
The Terrain Park at Glen Eden is where the action happens! With one of the largest and most progressive Terrain Parks around, it really is the place to be.
8. Skiing @ Glen Eden
Prepaid rentals are an economical option if you're not ready to commit to the purchase of gear or are worried about outgrowing equipment before next season.
9. Outdoor Skating & Rotary Centennial Pond
There are plenty of outdoor rinks in Oakville, Burlington, and Milton. You can enjoy free skating daily from 10am-10pm at the Rotary Centennial Pond overlooking Lake Ontario in Burlington. Don’t forget to stop for some hot cocoa afterwards!
10. Tobogganing @ Bronte Creek Park
Get your friends together for a day of tobogganing. Our favourite spot is the toboggan hill at Bronte Creek Park!
