Keep the whole family stoked.
If you’ve got the type of kids who have a little extra energy to burn (and don’t they all?) Revelstoke is a perfect winter destination. There are endless activities to keep your brood entertained.

For days off of the slopes, there are tons of great activities to keep everyone entertained while you rest your legs.
Accommodation.
The best way to accommodate your family in Revelstoke is by booking a place with a kitchen. For on-hill accommodation, the Sutton Place offers suites right at the base of the gondola. It’s equipped with a pool and hot tub easily accessible from the units, which is a great option for keeping the kids entertained during apres.

DINING.
Most Revelstoke restaurants have plenty of options to keep anyone happy. For a casual family dinner, try Nico’s Pizzeria. You can eat in their casual dine-in restaurant or grab your pizza to go. The Taco Club and Old School Eatery have fantastic children's menus and family friendly atmosphere. Emo's also has an extensive take out menu and family friendly options.

On the ski hill.
If the whole family isn’t skiing at the same level, consider booking lessons - available for kids, teens, and adults. The Resort has different areas that will keep skiers and riders of all levels entertained. Beginners will love the lower half of the mountain below the gondola, where there are wide mellow runs to practice turns. The Stellar chair also offers short green runs to get the legs prepared for Revelstoke’s vertical. Intermediate skiers and riders will find plenty of terrain to explore at the Ripper Chair, including mellow tree runs and some fun and fast groomers. Advanced skiers and riders will love the upper mountain. From the steep groomers of the Stoke Chair to the untracked powder of North Bowl, there is enough terrain to keep you occupied for days.
If the whole family wants to meet up for lunch, make sure to book your table ahead of time. There are mid-mountain and base dining options.
OFF-HILL ACTIVITIES.
There are plenty of off-hill options for active families.
Snowshoe tours and rentals are available to get out exploring on two feet. There are a number of different options with varying views. Be sure to check our snowshoe map to ensure you’re not heading into avalanche terrain. A guided tour is the best way to get the most out of your snowshoe experience.
Nordic skiing is another fun way for the kids to burn some energy. There are rentals and lessons available at the Revelstoke Nordic Ski Club. Newbies will have a great time trying to find their balance (and inevitably falling in a heap of giggles), and experienced nordic skiers will find the trails fun and challenging. If your family has four members or fewer, you can hang out in the Ole Sandberg cabin - BYOHC (bring your own hot chocolate)!
For a down day or an evening, try the Revelstuck Escape Rooms. Get the family together and try your hand at solving yourself out of one of the themed escape rooms.
The Revelstoke Railway Museum also offers great exhibits that are sure to entertain the kids. They'll love the train simulator, a scavenger hunt, and other fun exhibits.
