No matter what time of year you visit, there's plenty to do in Winter Park! Winter Park is a well-known winter playground, and it is full of incredible summer activities as well. But what about in the spring or fall off-seasons? Here are our favorite things to do all year long:

Browse an Art Gallery

Our mountain setting inspires artists. Take a piece of the inspiration home with you. For those who enjoy browsing art galleries to those more serious about fine art, Winter Park and the Fraser Valley has some exceptional galleries you will want to visit.

Create Something

Bit by the creative bug yourself or need to keep the kids entertained? YMCA Snow Mountain Ranch has a craft center where adults and children can be the artist and select from tie-dying, stained glass, pottery painting and more. While you are at it, purchase a day pass and get access to full days worth of activities.

Learn Something New

Historical buffs will enjoy the local museums throughout Grand County.

Relax Your Day Away

Spas and massage therapists are readily available, whether you'd like to visit a center or have the services come to you.

Play Indoors

Recreation centers can keep the family happy all day long, with lazy river, water slide, lap pools, fitness centers, basketball courts, indoor running track, roller skating rink and climbing walls.

Break a Sweat

Want to take a fitness class? From Yoga, Pilates to CrossFit or spinning in a group or private lesson, we have it all.

Soar Above the Treetops

Ever taken a hot air balloon ride? Summer or winter, you can get a birds-eye view of our incredible valley and the Continental Divide! You can also take a scenic zipline tour for incredible views of the Fraser Valley.

Enjoy a Nostalgic Night Out

Remember when you were young and the perfect night out consisted of bowling and watching a movie with friends? Now you can relive it. Fraser's newest bowling alley and movie theater offer two cinemas and eight lanes. Great food, too! More interested in a throwback activity like roller skating? We have that, too.

Grab a Sip & a Bite

Visit one of our breweries and find your favorite craft beer at 9,000 feet. Or check out all the great happy hours.

Borrow a Book

Cozy up by the fireplace and pick out a new book to read at the library. Another perk? Free wi-fi.

Take a Drive

Take a scenic drive to spot wildlife. Our knowledgeable information center staff has great recommendations.

Shop 'Til You Drop

Pick up a souvenir or two at one of our specialty shops, or simply enjoy window shopping around town.

Attend an Event

Lots of events are always happening in Winter Park & Fraser. Check our event calendar to see what sparks your interest. Browse things to do this winter or popular summer activities to plan your next escape.
