Things to Do in Whistler with Kids

Whistler is one of the most beautiful places in Canada to explore as a family. Whether you're visiting for the weekend or live here year-round, there are endless ways to keep kids active, curious, and smiling.

Here’s our guide to the best things to do in Whistler with kids.


🌲 1. Explore Whistler Village

Whistler Village is full of hidden details, cozy corners, fountains, art sculptures, and pedestrian-only pathways that make it perfect for little explorers. Families can wander safely, stop for treats, and enjoy the mountain atmosphere.

For children aged 4–10, turning a simple walk into an adventure makes all the difference.

That’s exactly why we created See & Stroll — a gentle, interactive Whistler Village scavenger hunt designed especially for kids. It transforms an ordinary stroll into a magical quest.


🚠 2. Ride the Whistler Gondolas

Taking the gondola up the mountain is always exciting for kids. In summer, enjoy alpine views and short family-friendly trails. In winter, soak in snowy mountain scenery.


🏞 3. Visit Local Parks & Lakes

Whistler has beautiful family-friendly spots like:

Alpha Lake Park

Rainbow Park

Lost Lake

Perfect for picnics, playground time, and lakeside adventures.


🌧 4. Rainy Day Activities in Whistler

If the weather turns, there are still great indoor options:

Audain Art Museum

Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre

And of course, a self-paced scavenger hunt around the Village can still be done rain or shine.
