Whistler Blackcomb for Families

Adventure Comes In All Shapes And Sizes. But The Grins Are Always Extra Large.

Whistler Blackcomb's dedicated learning centres and programs with the Whistler Kids Snow School, specially designed terrain gardens and family zones, an enchanted Tree Fort and Magic Castle ensure that any time is a good time for a “Family Certified” experience  on Whistler Blackcomb.

Once the day’s on-mountain adventures are done, the village is packed with family-friendly activities. Restaurants and bars like the GLC, Merlin’s and Dusty’s Bar & BBQ welcome kids until 8pm and give everyone a chance to enjoy après. And for those with energy to spare, skate circles around one another at the outdoor skating rink at Olympic Plaza, and experience the thrill of the Coca-Cola® Tube Park.

 

Look for the “Family Certified” icon in various locations throughout the resort to let you know that you are in a family-friendly zone.
