The temperature is going down and the idea of leaving your warm apartment is more daunting than ever. For those of you bold enough to travel outside the confines of your luxury apartment, we've compiled a list of winter activities worth leaving the house for.
Traditional Outdoor Fun
- Skiing: Whether you are a pro-skiier that doesn't have the time to travel to a more northerly destination, or if you have never seen a pair of skis, the Blue Hills is a great option for an anytime fun skiing day. Only 20 minutes from SouthField with reasonable prices ($16 for a snow pass, $16 for a ski and snowboarding lesson), skiing at Blue Hills is a perfect opportunity to make the most of a winter day.
- Ice Skating: If you, or your kids, would prefer to skate, the Connell Memorial Rink is now open for the season! The rink is open for public skating Monday through Friday 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. to 3:50 p.m. on the weekends. The rink has skate rentals available.
- Sledding: Or if you're feeling even more adventurous, go sledding or hiking at World's End in Hingham. With a name scarier than the location, this South Shore favorite boasts four hills for you to choose from.
Indoor Fun
- Get fit with hot yoga or rock climbing: Yes, you can do these two activities anytime but the cold weather makes working out and staying healthy that much harder. Why not try something new, fun, and warm instead of running outdoors everyday? Try Rock Spot Climbing in Dorchester or try hot yoga at the Open Doors Yoga studio in Weymouth
- Museums: The easiest and most intellectual way to enjoy a chilly day. We know the museums tend to be a little on the expensive side, but the MFA is free after 4 p.m., and the ICA is free on Thursdays from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Check out these amazing museums and grab dinner in Boston to enjoy a nice evening out.
- Get in the Holiday Spirit: There are tons of holiday markets and sights to see in Boston. One of our favorite markets, SOWA is having a special holiday market on December 14 and 15 12-6 if you want to pursue gifts and holiday crafts. Or if you need to do some shopping, stroll through Faneuil Hall and see the city decorated with lights and trees.
Just because it's cold doesn't mean you have to be bored and miserable! There are plenty of things to do in Boston and the South Shore to keep you entertained no matter what your preferences are.
