Looking for budget-friendly winter activities that won’t break the bank? The cold winter days are perfect for staying warm by a fire, but staying indoors for extended periods could have you feeling stir-crazy. Here are some simple, low-cost, if not free, activities you and the family can enjoy this winter!   
 
  1. Free winter activities that can be enjoyed in your backyard or local park: Bundle up and have a classic snow day. Build a snowman, go sledding, build a snow fort, or even a snowball fight. 
  2. Invite friends or family over: Don’t want to go outside in the cold? Stay indoors and host a potluck. This budget-friendly activity is an excellent way to enjoy the company of loved ones. Request each guest to bring a low-budget meal that is easily made in large batches. 
  3. Feed the birds: Grab some stale bread or bird seed from the store, go to the park, and feed our feathered friends. Birds may have more difficulty finding food if the ground is covered in snow. 
  4. Have a bonfire: Embrace the cold and have a night around the fire. Invite guests to bring marshmallows for smores, hot dogs, and apple cider or hot cocoa to help keep everyone warm. 
  5. Visit the zoo or aquarium: Beat the busy spring and summer traffic at the local zoo or aquarium. These two options might have discounts available for admission due to it being “off-season.” 
[Final thoughts] 
It's essential to plan ahead for winter activities so that you can make the most of the colder months. Take these suggestions to heart and enjoy all that winter has to offer.
