Jasper National Park, Alberta

As well as being one of the most romantic little towns in the world, Jasper is also an extremely family friendly place. Hotels are more than welcoming to kids and there are activities aplenty to choose from to keep everyone happy. Aside from the usual sightseeing options open to families, here are three of my favourite things to do for all ages.

Dogsledding

Though this is not allowed in the park itself, there are teams of Alaskan huskies available outside the park for adventures. You can choose between 1-4 hour trips. This is really one of the most unique things to do on a vacation. It also happens to be one of the most fun things to do as well. There are a few different options to choose from.

Goat Lookout

Located about 38km south of Jasper towards the Icefields Parkway, this site offers one of the most breath taking views in the Canadian Rockies. Aside from the views of Mount Edith Cavell, this is a great spot to see some cool wildlife as well.

Ice Skating

Both Lac Beauvert and Lake Mildred are stunning lakes in the summer but in winter, they are even more fun for the family. They are groomed for ice skating and Lake Mildred also has a hockey rink for the kids to run circles around their parents. Bringing kids to Jasper is always a good decision.
