Indoor Activities in Whistler
We love our outdoor activities in Whistler, but there is plenty to see and do inside as well. Take a look at the diverse selection of indoor options for days when a change of pace is in the cards.
Conditions can be wet, snowy, cold or hot outside in Whistler – we are in the mountains, after all! Luckily there are quite a few ways to burn off excess energy without braving the elements.
