Having fun this winter doesn’t have to break the bank. From arranging a night of indoor games to savoring hot cocoa while watching your favorite Holiday movie, here are four inexpensive winter activities you can enjoy with your family as the days get shorter and cooler. These options allow for more down time, so you can relax, recharge and enjoy the season together.
1. Visit a national park
Winter is a really good time of the year to be out in nature. Whether you go on a hike or spend a day in the snow, enjoy some of the most popular national and state parks - without the summer crowds.
Pick a trail the entire family can enjoy — there are even pet-friendly ones! Marvel at the winter wonderland while going for a stroll.
2. Have a movie night at home
Whether or not your hometown is covered in snow, colder temperatures invite us to stay in and binge watch classics - or scary movies, if that’s your thing! Enjoy a cup of hot cocoa with your family. Don’t forget to add some popcorn to this affordable, fun winter weekend plan.
3. Participate in local activities
Most cities arrange different types of family activities throughout the year. Whether it’s a Christmas market or holiday performance, be sure to check your city’s website to see what’s happening in your area. You’ll have a good time with your family. Local activities are also a great way to get to know your neighbors and establish new connections.
4. Bring the board games back!
Board games are last, but certainly not least on our list of affordable winter activities for families. Younger generations may not know Pictionary or Monopoly, because they’re growing up in a digital era. Start a new favorite tradition by showing them different kinds of games. Board games are an excellent way to spend rainy or snowy weekends indoors with the family. Bring out some of your favorite games from the garage or attic and enjoy an evening of fun before watching a movie.
These are six fun things you can do in winter that the whole family will enjoy.
