10 Completely Free Activities to Do in Winnipeg During Winter Break!
If you’re looking for some fun activities to do with the family over the winter break, without breaking the bank – you’re in luck! Tons of great options in Winnipeg!
- Head out tobogganing or skating – if you don’t have skates or a sled, you can borrow some or rent some. There are locations all over the city to do both for free!
- Do a movie or video game day at home – you can rent these from the library for free, or nearly free depending on the ages. They have games for almost all systems, and it’s a fun (and free) way to try out new games! Perfect if it’s too cold out.
- Check out an activity at the library – free classes for all kinds of stuff, from makers labs, book clubs, puzzle swaps and so much more. There’s things for all ages too.
- Head to the Forks and check out the Arctic Glacier Winter Park – there’s special activities on Sundays, but lots to do every day for free.
- Take a walk around the Exchange and pretend you’re in a Hallmark movie! Lots to see and do in the area, and if it’s mild out it makes for a fun walking spot.
- Take a free tour of the Legislative Building – so much to see and lots of mystery there!
- Build a fort or snow castle in your backyard! If you don’t have enough snow, make some ice blocks. Super fun, and can be as big or as small as you want – depending on the ages. Can even build forts out of pallets to cover in snow after too.
- Use up any gift cards or discount tickets you have – check and see how many points you have for movies and outings too!
- Hold a board game night, cards or puzzle night and invite friends or family – can be a lot of fun! Ask people to bring games and snacks – can work for any age ranges too.
- Check out your local community centres to see if they’re putting on any free events during the holidays.
