A Complete Family Adventure Travel Guide for Whistler, B.C.
The home of the 2010 winter olympics, Whistler, B.C. is a stunning place to visit every season of the year! It is home to world-class downhill skiing and snowboarding, cross country skiing, and snowshoeing in the winter. In summer the same trails are used for incredible mountain biking and hiking. The multiple lakes in the area give ample opportunity for water play. Fall and spring are less expensive times to visit but there are still miles of hiking and biking to be explored.
Our family lives in NW Washington State and we try to visit Whistler 2 to 3 times per year! We typically have visited in spring, summer, and fall but hope to visit more in the winter in the future!
Whistler has a reputation of being an expensive place to travel. With 4 kids in our family, we try to travel as budget-friendly as possible and this is reflected in my suggestions in the travel guide!
Benefits of Traveling with Kids
Traveling with children can seem a bit intimidating, especially when they are young. But, often little ones adapt to these experiences much more easily than we anticipate. Additionally, these adventures in unique settings have numerous benefits for kids and can actually be quite beneficial for their development.
Travel Introduces Kids to New Environments
If Canada is not your home country, visiting a new country can help kids expand their view of the world. Being exposed to new environments and cultures broadens a child’s perspective. These fresh experiences teach them how wonderfully diverse and unique the world is. Expanding their minds in this way can help to boost creativity and imagination.
If Canada is your home country, exposing kids to different parts of their own home helps encourage them to protect the land for the future. These natural places will one day be in the hands of our children, and what better way to teach them to love their world than by taking them out to experience it for themselves!
Exploring New Places is A Great Opportunity for Hands on Learning
It’s one thing to read about a far away destination or hear about it in school, but visiting it in real life lends many hands on learning opportunities. Visiting different tourist attractions and historical landmarks can also spark new passions and interests that children can continue to pursue even after returning home.
Traveling Promotes Resiliency & Family Bonds
Being away from home shakes up the usual routine and gets us out of our comfort zone. Navigating the uncertainty of these new situations helps kids build confidence. Embarking on the adventure together and spending time traveling together helps promote family bonding.
