Things To Do
Peak 2 Peak Gondola Whistler
Incredible views! If you're all the way up in British Columbia for the first and perhaps only time- this is absolutely worth the cost of the Summer Sightseeing Day Pass! You can also hike and enjoy bars and restaurants at the top of the mountain!
Whistler Mountain Bike Park
We are not brave enough to try this- we recommend watching from Garibaldi Lift Co. w/ a cocktail in-hand!
Scandinave Spa
This is one of our favorite places on the planet. Enjoy this outdoor thermal journey! Spend a few hours cycling through hot tubs, saunas, steam rooms, hammocks, day beds, and cold plunges. Guests must maintain total silence and no phone use for the duration of their stay. (we love that part)
Ziptrek Ecotours
One of the first things we did in Whistler together! Great views, and thrilling!
Whistler Golf Club, Nicklaus North, Big Sky and Chateau Fairmont Golfing
All are beautiful!
Joffre Lakes Hike
One of our favorite hikes in the area. You do need a car to get there! Make sure to make a reservation for a pass in advance.
Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre
The authentic Indigenous culture and history of the Squamish and Lil'wat Nations. Wonderfully curated museum- and the gift shop is wonderful!
Audain Art Museum
We have spent many hours here! They have a gorgeous collection of B.C. art.
Vallea Lumina
A really cool evening attraction! Grab some hot chocolate and enjoy- best to do late at night post-dinner.
Sea to Sky Gondola
If you want more gondolas and walks- this is a bit easier than hiking Whistler Mountain, and still has gorgeous views! There is also a really cool suspension bridge that kiddos will love or be terrified of <3
Britannia Mine Museum
This is a bit outside Whistler- but if you have a car, this museum is worth a drive!
COWS Whistler
The best ice cream in the world!! (According to Eliza! Order Gooey Mooey for her and a rainbow sprinkle cone for Patrick :) )
Lift Coffee Company
Great coffee, and GREAT cookies.
