Minnesota Winter Activities
Dog Sled Rides
Dog sled rides are one of the most quintessential Minnesota winter activities. Experience the adventure and excitement of riding with a real Husky dog sled team yapping and barking with the anticipation of pulling you! A local “Musher” offers his skill and expertise in taking guests for short trips across the snow. This memorable experience might be the highlight of your winter vacation. Dog Sled Rates $20/per person paid to musher. Available most Saturdays.
Ice Bowling/Cardboard Sled Derby
Bring the family for Ice Bowling a fun way to enjoy the outdoors–bowling shirts and shoes not required (bring your boots and parkas instead) and best of all — no gutter balls. For Cragun’s Cardboard Sled Derby, teams build a cardboard sled and then race – great activity for all ages. These two Minnesota winter activities are FREE!
Variety Shows
This show changes every week and can include a magic show, our famous “Get Wild” Animal Show, juggling and more. Entertainers and performers that guarantee a good time for all. FREE!
Bingo
A Cragun’s tradition that was started back in the early days of the resort and it’s as popular now as ever. Today, we’ve added a few new twists to our Bingo nights adding a little more excitement. Cards are free to everyone, so bring the whole family!
Family Activities
Activities for the whole family are planned on weekends in the fall and winter. Minnesota winter activities include Bonfires with marshmallow roasts and hot chocolate, medallion hunts, cookie decorating, glow bowling, movie “float-ins”, and more. Please check our Activity Calendar for each weekend’s planned activities.
Vacation Creation
Join our very creative Recreation Staff for a Vacations Creations craft project. The projects change each week and provide you with a fun memento, that you made yourself, to bring home from your vacation (modest charge).
