There’s no need to be bored in Richmond during the upcoming winter break.

From playing outdoors, swimming at Watermania or taking in the Heritage Building Light Display at Britannia Shipyards, there are more than 30 indoor and outdoor activities to help you stay active.

One activity not to miss is Winter Wonderland skating, the popular holiday tradition at Minoru Arenas. Bundle up and enjoy the festive music while gliding around a large snow bank. The arena is decorated with real trees and other holiday displays, all of which are surrounded by thousands of sparkling lights. There are more than 30 public skating sessions to choose from. Regular admission rates apply and skate rentals are extra.
