Coeur d’Alene comes alive in the winter with activities for everyone to enjoy. Whether you come to enjoy the lights or spend your days on the slopes, you can always count on something fun happening in our winter wonderland town.
As the days get shorter and the sun sets at 4 pm, it seems like the only thing to look forward to here in CDA is the Christmas Lights. What happens when those come down? Does all the joy disappear from the town?
Luckily, Christmas lights will not be the only things on display this winter in CDA. January 26th-February 4th, enjoy the free Winter Lights in downtown Coeur d’Alene. An immersive art experience awaits all ages to enjoy large-scale, light-based artworks, colorfully lit sculptures, and interactive displays.
Add to the fun by attending Illuminate January 27th, the kick-off party that includes appetizers, adult beverages, live artists, performances, and live music. Visit https://cdadowntown.com/cda-events/illuminate/ to purchase tickets.
Nothing is more iconic about Coeur d’Alene than the lake. When people ask why we love this little town so much that we will endure 3 months of snow to live here, I always tell them how lucky we are to live so close to the water. Even when you can’t swim in it, there is something so soothing about hearing the waves and looking out to the snow-capped mountains on the other side.
My personal favorite way to see the lake is on a boat, and this winter you can! Every Friday through Sunday in January, February, and March, scenic hot cocoa cruises will take you out to see Coeur d’Alene in the best way possible. Warm up with the purchase of a hot cocoa bar (spiked options for the adults!) and enjoy the views on this 90-minute ride. Sit inside where it is warm and cozy or adventure up to the top deck to get a 360-degree view of the lake and downtown. Cruises depart at 12:30 and 2:30 pm from The Floating Boardwalk to the east of the CDA Resort. Visit www.cdacruises.com/hot-cocoa-cruises/ to purchase tickets and view the adult hot cocoa menu.
Scenic cruises are a favorite family activity for your first time in CDA or your 100th time. With the cold weather, all is made better with hot coca aboard.
One of the best things about winter in CDA is all the activities there are to do. With the cold setting in, one of our favorite activities is back – ice skating! In the heart of downtown Coeur d’Alene, an ice skating rink is built each winter to help people enjoy the colder months. Come together with locals and visitors alike to enjoy the music, lights, and view of the lake at CDA On Ice.
There are a few things to know before you go. Tickets must be purchased in order to skate. Ages 3-12 years are $14 and ages 13 and up are $18 for a 90-minute session. Sessions are pre-scheduled time slots in which you can skate. If you show up in the middle of a pre-scheduled time slot, you can still pay to skate for the remainder of the session but will still have to pay full price. Spectators coming to watch are not charged for admission. Anyone skating does need to sign a waiver so we highly recommend showing up early to get that filled out. To purchase tickets visit tickets.cdaonice.com
There is a food truck on site that serves hot cocoa, hot dogs, pizza, donuts, and more! Igloos are also available for rent and include a fireplace heater, seating for 8 or 10, and loaded hot cocoa. Whether you are in an igloo or out on the ice, you are sure to enjoy your night!
