As a full-fledged winter baby, I can attest that there are so many fun ways to enjoy the colder months with your kids. My mom used to take me to a local ice cream shop for my birthday each year. We’d traipse up the block in the snow and I absolutely loved it. Now, of course, there are so many things to do, from skiing to ice skating to indoor activities, you and your kids can stay busy all season long.
One of our favorites is snow tubing. Your kids can ride solo or with an adult as they zip through shorter mountains soaking in the views. Read on to check out where you can enjoy snow tubing near Westchester.
