Dmmetler Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 We are starting to make plans for travel and don't have any specific place we want to go. DD10 mentioned she'd really like to go somewhere that she can sled and play in snow. We get ice and cold and ick, but rarely snow beyond a few flurries. (SW TN). A plus would be somewhere that also has fun other stuff to do-museums, a Lego discovery center or indoor water park, nice Christmas displays, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellen Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Kansas City They have a tubing place on the north side somewhere. It's artificial snow but if you're driving instead of flying that's the tradeoff. Kansas city has a ton of fun stuff including Legoland, a nicely decorated holiday light section at the Plaza, a free Hallmark art area, a nice science museum, and more. There is also a Great Wolf Lodge on the Kansas side. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terabith Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Virginia. Massanutten. Or Snow Mountain, near Georgia. I could bring my dragon obsessed ten year old, and they could hang out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottakee Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 We are in West Michigan but snow can be iffy at Christmas----at least enough of the nice fluffy stuff to play in with enough snow base to make the sledding hills really nice. Some years we have snow in Oct and other years not much until January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplejackmama Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 St. Louis. St Charles has the BEST Christmas activities. City museum is fantastic. The zoo is free! The botanical gardens have a great Christmas display. We spent last Christmas there and my kids had a blast sledding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoobie Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Stone Mountain Park outside of Atlanta sets up Snow Mountain in December-January. We have a Lego Discovery Center (this one seems geared to kids younger than 10 though?) and museums, but no indoor water park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirstenhill Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 We almost always have snow for Christmas in Minnesota. In the Minneapolis/St. Paul area there is the Mall of America (no Lego Discovery center but it does have a lego store, plus the mall has an amusement park in the middle and a large water park nearby). Lots of good museums. Some pretty fun sledding hills in the parks, as well as larger snow tubing hills, cross country ski trails, small downhill ski places, outdoor ice rinks, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will also add that we have some awesome restaurants and doing a tour of BBQ is a fun activity for the whole family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bettyandbob Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Massanutten in VA has both snow tubing (and other winter sports) and an indoor water park. Real snow at Christmas, but they make snow when conditions dont provide it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
