Winter Activities

Whether you're chasing a rush or prefer casually coasting green runs, downhill skiing and snowboarding in Wisconsin deliver fun for everyone. And when the sun sets, the fun doesn’t stop - illuminated slopes and crisp night air turn night skiing into a whole new kind of after-dark adventure.

From frozen lakes to Olympic-caliber rinks, ice skating in Wisconsin is a seasonal staple. Brand-new beginners and serious skaters alike can pass the puck in a pickup hokey game, perfect backward spirals or just take a few leisurely laps with friends. However you glide, frozen fun is waiting for you out on the ice. 

Snow, slopes and tubes? We got 'em. The only thing you need to bring are a few cozy layers and a need for speed. Spend an afternoon at one of Wisconsin’s many snow parks and experience the chills and thrills that come with hurtling down hills on a giant tube. Make fun-filled memories with your family for seasons to come!

What better way to soak in Wisconsin’s winter snowscapes than from a train window, where you’re surrounded by wonder at every turn? Climb aboard a comfy, heated railcar and glide past magical views of the state blanketed in snow. With a mug of hot chocolate or glass of wine in hand and moments of awe unfolding all around, these scenic railway rides deliver whimsical, memory-making fun for the whole family.
