Chill Your Cabin Fever in Spokane

As the season changes to winter, set your sights on Spokane. We do winter here, and with plenty of room to roam. And because of that, there are so many cool things to experience, both outdoors and indoors. So pack your bags, heat up that car and head to Spokane for a magical winter get-away.

Visiting Safely

We want everyone to be happy and healthy during these socially-distanced times, so please check out SafeSpokane.com for the most up-to-date health and safety tourism guidelines. And don’t be surprised if some of our locals say hello with an “elbow bump”.

Inside or Out? You Don’t Have to Decide

Some people act like bears and tend to hibernate for the winter. But this year you may have been doing that all spring and summer too. So it’s time to get OUT there! When you arrive in the Spokane region, you can spend time outside exploring uncrowded winter wonderlands and activities, or inside experiencing new things or just chillin’. It’s not an either/or decision here. Do both! Decisions come easy when all the choices are good.

Joyful Sights

Spokane is well known for its accessible and walkable downtown, so don’t let the winter weather stop you. Journey over to River Park Square, a curated mix of local and national shops, and while you’re there check out the mall’s magnificent 50-ft tall Christmas tree. Or head over to the newly revitalized open-air Riverfront Park, where our Pavilion will brighten up your holiday senses with weekend light shows year-round. Or lace on some skates and carve a few laps around the Ice Ribbon. Or how about an urban hike? Bundle up, grab a tasty cup of Joe from a local café, and take a short stroll to see natural ice sculptures formed by Spokane Falls. All right downtown. There’s so much to see and do in Spokane during the holidays—don’t miss out!

Fun Winter Activities

Spokane is a ski town, close to five fantastic resorts for alpine, Nordic, and boarding fun. But a lift tickets not required to experience the best winter has to offer. We’re surrounded by forested mountains, miles of trails and rolling vistas to explore. Nearby trails are perfect for snowshoeing and winter hiking under snow covered pines. Or if urban sports are more your style, ice skate The Ribbon in the heart of downtown or find your nearest hockey rink.

Cozy in for a warm winter's night

When finished with your outdoor or urban adventure, head to your hotel, where you’ll be ready for a great night of slumber. The Spokane region offers up cozy elegance, or modern accommodations to meet everyone’s tastes. So drop your mittens, hang your parka, kick-off your Sorels and spend a relaxing evening recapping your day and making plans for tomorrow.
