Rainy Day Activities for Kids in Whistler

Fall in Whistler is an exciting time! There’s a buzz in the air as the anticipation for the start of ski season grows stronger. There are also so many great events going on and still a lot of fun activities to do.

But with fall, also comes precipitation. If the rainy weather is getting you down, it is important to remember that most days it is raining in the village, the fluffy white stuff is covering the peaks of the mountain.

For the most part, as long as you are dressed appropriately, you can still enjoy exploring outdoors in Whistler. Sometimes though, enough rain is enough and it’s time to head inside.
