Your Guide to Winter Activities and Events | Roseville Hotels & Events | Visit Roseville

Winter is upon us and while it may be tempting to curl up on your couch with a blanket, there are so many activities and events you don’t want to miss out on. Just because it’s cold outside doesn’t mean there aren’t things to do both indoors and outdoors.

That’s why we put together this guide to winter activities and events!

Guide to Winter Activities – Get outside

Ice Skating

Fun for the whole family, ice skating is a great way to get up, get out, and get moving. You will find yourself laughing and making memories that will truly last a lifetime. Check out the Roseville Skating Center, as they have both outdoor and indoor rinks. The outdoor rink known as the OVAL is the largest sheet of refrigerated ice in North America! Not only will you find traditional open ice skating time, but they also offer open adult hockey and open speed skating.

They also offer rental skates (limited sizes) and skate sharpening (no speed skates).

Parks

Bundle up and plan to hit some outdoor parks with the family. Roseville offers 32 award winning parks, so you have plenty of options to choose from.

Trails

Grab your snowshoes or cross country skies and check out the miles of trails that are ideal for winter use.

Harriet Alexander Nature Center

Take a walk along the boardwalk and trails that lead through 52 acres of marsh, prairie, and forest. Once you’ve walked the double loop, warm up inside the interpretive center where you’ll find the indoor tree exhibit, interactive displays, live native animals, a touch and see area, and a learning center than includes storybooks, guidebooks, and identification books for your use while in the building. Visit their website to learn more about the nature center.
