Probably our favorite option for creating fun memories in the winter is ice skating. Kids can’t help but have fun, and they’ll be so tired afterwards you don’t have to worry about anyone fighting you to go to sleep. Plus you can grab a hot chocolate at Lindt or the Bent Spoon nearby to make your day complete.
