Winter may be dreary and cold, but it can still be filled with fun - visit the University Farm to relive some classic childhood snow day activities!

Dress to be outside in the snow and bring your own winter recreation gear to sled, ice skate*, snowshoe, cross-country ski, build a snowman, or even have a snowball fight! Alternatively, you can borrow outdoor gear from our small collection - the Farm has a few pairs of ice skates in a range of sizes available, along with several sets of snowshoes, a few sleds, and even a toboggan**!

We'll have a crackling fire burning at the Pink Pig, hot cocoa, and s'mores ingredients on hand to keep you warm, but wear your thickest socks just in case!

*All attendees must complete a waiver in order to ice skate.

**Due to the very limited number of items, all Farm-owned gear is available on a first-come-first-serve basis - if borrowing, please be mindful that others have a chance to use these items as well. For the same reason, we unfortunately cannot guarantee that our skates will accommodate all shoe sizes.
