What do you do when Buckeye Chuck says we’re in for a long winter, but the kids are ready to get out of the house now? Richland County has opportunities for winter fun, indoors and out! Get the kids away from screens with our favorite family-friendly winter activities:
Bring your children, age 4-9, to Snow Trails to learn to ski and snowboard on Fridays, weekends, and peak days.
