Best Blue Mountain Activities for Toddlers and Young Kids

Blue Mountain is not just for adventurous adults and older kids. The area offers plenty of activities perfectly suited for toddlers and children under 6.

Summer Activities for Little Ones

The Open-Air Gondola

A slow, gentle ride to the top of the mountain that toddlers find exciting without being frightening. Accommodates strollers. Bring a snack for the top and go in late afternoon for fewer crowds.

Plunge! Aquatic Centre

Warm water areas designed for young children with shallow splash pads and gentle water features. Bring swim diapers for babies and arrive early.

Beach Days

Wasaga Beach is excellent for toddlers with very shallow water extending far from shore. Sunset Point in Collingwood is a less crowded alternative.

Village Exploration

The pedestrian-only Village is safe from traffic. Watch the fountain, window shop, get ice cream, and explore at a toddler's pace.

Playgrounds

Harbourview Park has waterfront climbing structures, Heritage Park has a playground surrounded by green space, and Fisher Field has sports facilities and play areas.

Winter Activities for Little Ones

**Snow Play** at the chalet: snowmen, gentle sledding, snow angels
**Indoor Swimming** at Plunge! year-round
**Horse-Drawn Sleigh Rides** when available

Dining with Toddlers

Eat early (before 5:30 PM), choose family-friendly spots like Firehall Pizza, bring distractions, and order quickly. Honestly, eating at the chalet is often the best option — familiar foods, flexible timing, and no stress about other diners.
