Skagit Children’s Museum Hosting Free Winter Wonderland Event in Burlington

Burlington, WA – The Children’s Museum of Skagit County is hosting  a FREE  3-day Family Friendly Winter Wonderland Event  at the Cascade Mall in Burlington, WA on December 8th, 9th, and 10th!

 

The  Free 3-day event will include activities for children, families, teens and adults both indoor and outdoor,  so bring the entire  family!  Nearly the entire event is  FREE this year thanks to support from the City of Burlington’s Lodging Tax Grant and a large amount of sponsors!

Starting Friday December 8th and Every Day of the event,  there will be real Snow trucked in from Mt. Baker for kids to play in.  Families  will have the opportunity to learn about skiing and snowboarding as well as build a snowman, slide down a hill,  try snowshoeing, snow painting and more!

Once the family has  had enough fun playing in the snow outside,  they can easily head inside the mall to warm up. There will be several bouncy inflatable houses to jump and roll  around in,  like the one pictured above from last year’s event!   There will also be a rock climbing wall,  carnival games, face painting, crafts, mini golf, character meet and greets and  other fun activities throughout the 3-day event.
