Exploring Winter in Ontario: Greetings from Barrie
Summary
Our winter getaway was packed with excitement, despite some unexpected warm weather. Although outdoor skating was canceled, we enjoyed a fantastic day on Kempenfelt Bay in Barrie, spending quality time on frozen Lake Simcoe. Today’s adventure took us to snow-tubing at Horseshoe Valley, even as the weather turned from freezing rain to a downpour on our return to Toronto.
A Warm Welcome to Winter Fun
Snow-Tubing Thrills
After a hearty breakfast at Nicholyn Farms Bed and Breakfast, we set off for a snow-tubing adventure. Despite unpredictable weather, the morning was cold enough for my 8-year-old nephew’s first snow-tubing experience. Horseshoe Valley Resort, a popular winter destination, offers not just skiing but also exhilarating snow-tubing. It’s a thrill to be towed up the hill on an inner tube, then released down with fellow tubers for a spin that feels like a roller coaster!
Skating Delights
Skating holds a special place in Canadian culture. Towns across Ontario boast outdoor rinks, and one of the most iconic places to skate is Ottawa's 7.8 km Rideau Canal. Toronto also offers popular venues like City Hall and Harbourfront.
