Top 10 Kid Friendly Things To Do and Attractions in Pemberton

"Location: Lost Lake is situated in the Benchlands, close to Whistler Village. Best way to get there: If you’re coming by car, park in the Whistler Village day lots. Then, walk 15 minutes or so along the Valley Trail until you hit the beach – it’s a scenic walk through the forest."

"Lost Lake offers a more serene retreat in winter and summer. The park sits about 15 minutes from Whistler Village, and a free shuttle runs from mid-June to early September. In the summer, find over 60 miles (100 kilometers) of hiking and biking trails."

"You can access the trail to the park near Lot 4 on Lorimer Road. The trail takes you through some old-growth forest on a crushed gravel trail. You’ll meet hikers and bikers en route to one of Whistler’s best lakes."

"Named as one of the finest ski destinations in Canada, Whistler Blackcomb offers exhilarating possibilities for both amateur and professional skiers. It is renowned to have the highest uphill lift capacity and is the highest vertical skiable distance in the region. Thousands of ski enthusiasts visit Blackcomb every year to enjoy the invigorating runs and participate in winter activities like sn...Read more"

"If your weakness is ice cream, then all I can say, on behalf of Whistler, is “I’m sorry”. Cows ice cream is simply some of the best out there. It is worth it to do that extra double black diamond ski run or hike that extra couple of miles/kilometres so that you can stride into Cows with your head held high and ask for your double scoop of ice cream in a chocolate dipped cone."

"Much more than just an ice cream shop Cows originated on the other side of the country on Prince Edward Island. Using and old family recipe and a penchant for puns, Cows has now successfully branched out across the country. They have 32 varieties out at all times and this really is the place to try new things like Birthday Cake flavour or Moo-Henry."

"Hailing from the East Coast of Canada, COWS offers the best selection of ice cream in Whistler. With such a great reputation and a large fanbase, the lines can be a bit long. However, don’t let this deter you from enjoying a scoop or two — the line moves fast and the ice cream is worth it!"

"Head to Whistler Mountain Bike Park, the city’s top place for action, obstacles and adventure. Gear up, grab a bike and plan for a downhill ride through the woods. Whistler Mountain Bike Park even ranks among the best lift-accessed downhill bike parks in the world."

"Simply put, the Whistler Mountain Bike Park is the best lift-accessed mountain bike park in the world. It is the ultimate thing to do in Whistler in Summer. There are nearly 5,000 vertical feet of adrenaline-fueled downhill mountain bike trails."

"While watching bobsleigh or luge competitions on TV, did you ever wonder how it feels to zip down the narrow ice tube at the speed of a racecar?. Now you can experience it for yourself at the Whistler Sliding Centre, the world’s fastest ice track. When athletes are not using the Centre to prepare for various international competitions, visitors are invited to check out this amazing facility or even experience the high-speed action first-hand."

"One of its kind, the Whistler Sliding Centre offers Olympic level sliding tracks that are both thrilling and adrenaline packed. Home to the 2010 Winter Olympics Bobsliegh and skeleton tracks, the center is state of the art and the sliding track is 1450 meter long. Visitors are encouraged to tour the state-of-the-art facility, or experience the thrill first-hand with passenger bobsleigh and skel...Read more"

"Whether you’re in hiking boots or snowshoes take a trip out to Alexander Falls in the Callaghan Valley. If you’re looking for a longer stay in the wilderness check out the Journeyman Lodge, a full service backcountry lodge, which we listed as one of the most romantic Whistler hotels."

"So if you choose to view it, you're basically seeing three waterfalls in one. This falls sits in Callaghan Provincial Park just south of Whistler. If you choose to see the falls, leave time to explore the park."

"James Stewart Sculpture Gallery is a small gallery with a big impact. Its current exhibition of large, life-like, and finely detailed sculptures of individuals the artist and gallery owner James Stewart met during his travels around the world is creating quite a stir in a town more accustomed to paintings of wild animals and spectacular landscapes. After building a career in Hollywood by creating visual effects for movies such as The Chronicles of Narnia and Shrek 2, James decided to give it all up and devote his time to his art and to enjoying the wild adventures of Whistler."

"As one of the largest skate parks in Canada, the park measures 50,000 square feet full of bowls, ledges and street-style elements. Other features include quarter pipes, a spine, volcano and central pyramid. In addition, BMX riders can test their skills."

"Outdoor performance facility, community park, large accessible playground and play area, lawn, ice skating rink in winter. Open daily between dawn and dusk with lights in the bowl until 1 AM from April to November. Skateboards, inline skates, smooth tire bikes (BMX, jump)."

"Best way to get there: It’s an easy walk from Nordic, Alta Vista, and Blueberry Hill, and an easy bike ride from almost anywhere in town. There is parking, but it can get busy in the summer months. Why we love it: It’s easy to get to but arguably less popular (read: crowded) than Lost Lake."

"One of summers simplest pleasures is spending a sunny day beside the lake. Whistler has a whole host of amazing lakes and parks, it can be hard to decide on which one to go to!. Lakeside Park in Alta Vista has enough facilities to keep the family entertained all day long."

"Whether you’re in hiking boots or snowshoes take a trip out to Alexander Falls in the Callaghan Valley. If you’re looking for a longer stay in the wilderness check out the Journeyman Lodge, a full service backcountry lodge, which we listed as one of the most romantic Whistler hotels."

"Serving up ‘Damn Good Sandwiches’ and a couple of salads, the Corner Deli is a popular spot for an affordable, filling and delicious lunch."

"Located in Roundhouse Lodge on Whistler mountain, Steep’s Grill has great views. The menu features produce from British Columbia including fruit and vegetables from the nearby Pemberton valley, and cheese from Salt Spring island. The wine list is extensive, with many wines from British Columbia."

"This large restaurant is lovely, and while their menu is a little light on vegan options, there are a couple that make it worth looking into if you are trying to find a place to go with your non-vegan friends. For example, they have a good Beyond Meat burger with vegan chipotle mayo on a bakery bun, served with BC kennebec hand-cut fries, and a chickpea 'tofu' bowl  which has house-made tofu served with coconut rice, roasted brussel sprouts, grilled red onion, sambal sweet chili, crispy chickpeas & pickled carrot. However, no desserts and appetizers, but at least the main course options they do have are pretty good!"

"In a stylish and trendy dining room, brunch at Stonesedge Kitchen offers all your brunch superstars with distinctly Canadian twists, such as the English-style breakfast with eggs and maple sausage, the breakfast poutine and eggs benedict with British Columbia smoked salmon. For the fully Canadian brunch experience, be sure to order a mimosa or a Caesar, which is a bloody mary made with Clamato instead of tomato juice."
