The Children’s Museum of Skagit County creates a winter wonderland every year at Burlington Plaza (formerly The Shops at Burlington) on the first full weekend in December! There are activities for children, families, teens, and adults – indoor and outdoor fun for everyone! Winter Wonderland activities are FREE and we are encouraging local families as well as those from all over the Pacific Northwest to come and enjoy the fun!
There’s something for everyone, every day! Indoor and outdoor activities, special guests, lots to see and do. It’s December in the Northwest, so layer up, put your wellies on, bring some dry socks and get ready to have some fun outdoors… and indoors!
Get your free wristband before you start each day of play – a new wristband is required each day. The event activities are free, but the wristband helps us to keep track of how many people are coming each day, which helps us with organizing and funding the next year’s event!
*Please note that admission to the Children’s Museum of Skagit County is not included with the free wristband. Regular admission rates apply.*
Every Day will include:
OUTDOOR FUN: Every day there will be REAL SNOW for kids to play in (contingent on the weather). You can also learn about snowshoeing, do some sledding & more! We will also have a toddler snow area. Snowmobiles from Northwest Glacier Cruisers will be on hand on Saturday.
INDOOR FUN: Inside in the old GAP & CARTER’S stores (adjacent to the Museum) there will be loads of crafts, curling, face-painting, Zorb Balls, simulated skiing & snowboarding, a toddler area and “snow science”.
