Gaylord Rockies Resort is now celebrating the wonders of winter. Guests are invited to experience a memorable family vacation by evoking the charm of the chilliest of seasons during the resort’s annual Winterfest. In the peak of Colorado’s frosty winter, guests can take part in arctic-inspired, family-friendly fun from January 8 through Feb. 27, 2022.
Discover fun for the whole family as you step outside and skate or tube across the ice, explore the resort on a Jack Frost-themed scavenger hunt and embrace the winter chill by taking a dip in the heated indoor and outdoor pool at Arapahoe Springs Water Park.
Weekly events and activities include:
- Glacier Point: An outdoor adventure area featuring snow tubing, ice skating, snow merry-go-round, snowdrift mini-golf and ice bumper cars.
- Snow Park: Glacier Point celebrates everything snow and ice. Kids (and kids at heart) will enjoy building a snowman, making snow angels or just playing in the snow.
- Winter Art Studio: Let your inner artist come to life while creating winter-inspired arts and crafts.
- Jack Frost’s Frigid Finds Scavenger Hunt: Find frosty fun around every turn in Jack Frost’s Frigid Finds Scavenger Hunt. Search high and low for clues throughout the resort to find answers to an array of polar puzzles.
- LIGHT!: Inspired by the high gusts across the Mile High City, LIGHT! is an artistic take on the wind and its effect on the landscapes of Colorado. The beauty is revealed in the ever-changing art formed by the influence and power of nature’s fury.
