Too Cold To Play Outside?

Indoor Activites To Keep You Warm

Northern Manitoba is well known for its beautiful snow-covered terrain. Fun for so many outdoor sports, like snowmobiling, ice fishing, dog sledding and many more. Most of the time, dressing for the weather is enough to keep us enjoying the outdoors all winter long. However, even the most avid outdoors person can get a bit too cold, longing for warmer options.

With temperatures sometimes dipping below -30˚C for weeks at a time, especially in the January-February months, it's a great idea to have a few indoor activities planned. Here are some indoor options to remain active and entertained during these colder days or if you just want to do something fun to warm up.

Don’t forget to #shoplocal and #eatlocal while visiting in our area. We have plenty of great suggestions on this website to inspire you.
