Dog sledding is thought to have originated in the northern reaches of Canada or Siberia several thousand years ago, and today, you can find dog sledding outfitters all over the northern United States and Canada. Winter destination spots and ski resorts usually have a resident dog-sledding team ready to take you out for an hour, a day, or even longer.

Incredible Winter Vacations for Families Who Don't Ski

When the snow piles up everywhere, you are all-of-a-sudden very limited as to where you can travel on foot. Either stick to slushy, dirty roads and sidewalks, or strap on snowshoes and hit the trails for winter fun that never ends. If you’re planning a snowy winter vacation, rent snowshoes and spend an afternoon exploring with your kids.

National Park Vacation

Incredible Winter Vacations for Families Who Don't Ski

There are many reasons to choose a national park vacation in the winter. For one, it’s the off-season for more than half of the national parks across the United States, which means cheap lodging, fewer crowds, and lots of opportunities for adventure. Our favorite national parks for winter adventures include Yellowstone for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing, the Everglades for paddling, and Arches and Death Valley for hiking and photography.

Sledding Party

Incredible Winter Vacations for Families Who Don't Ski

Give kids a bit of snow and a sled and you’ve got the potential for hours of winter fun! Almost every town I can think of that gets snow in the winter has a dedicated hill where the kids like to congregate for sledding parties. In our Vermont town, we have more than one. If you are traveling and want to know where the locals go sledding with kids, your best bet is to join a local Facebook group and ask. Sledding makes every winter vacation better!

Incredible Winter Family Vacations for Non Skiers

Frozen lakes open up all kinds of opportunities for adventure, and many lakeside resorts offer enticing packages to help them (and you) make the most of a lakeside winter. One thing’s for sure – unless you are ice skating with kids indoors, you will likely have to travel to the northern US to find reliably frozen outdoor skating rinks. Still, it's one of the best ways to spend a winter day if you're not into skiing.

Snow Tubing

Incredible Winter Family Vacations for Non Skiers

Snow tubing offers kids and adults the thrill of flying down a mountain without the inherent dangers of skiing and snowboarding or the hefty price tag. Yes, most snow tubing adventures take place at ski resorts, but snow tube rentals are just a fraction of the cost of a full-day lift ticket, and you can also skip the expensive equipment necessary for skiing and snowboarding.
