Eureka Is Missouri’s Winter Playground, And It's A Must Visit

Wintertime’s simply magical, especially if you love playing in the snow. Even if you’re a summer person, you’ll likely admit that winter can be downright fun, especially when you visit Missouri’s winter playground. It offers something – snow tubing, skiing, and ice skating – for everyone.

Just a half an hour from St. Louis, Eureka is an outdoor lover’s dream come true, especially during the coldest season of the year. If you’ve been looking for Missouri’s winter playground, you’ve found it.

Winter’s adventures range from the thrilling to the more relaxed, and you’ll find a bit of both in the town with just over 12,000 residents. Ready for a day of fast-paced excitement?

Make your way to Hidden Valley Ski Resort, a must-visit if you’re a fan of skiing, snow tubing , and snowboarding. Skiers can choose from several trails ranging in difficulty from easier to most difficult.

For some of winter’s best thrills, go snowboarding. New to it? No worries. Hidden Valley offers snowboarding (and ski) lessons for both adults and kiddos.

Zipping down a mountain on a snow tube is what winter’s all about. Hidden Valley is home to the epic Polar Plunge Snow Tubing, the largest snow tubing park in Missouri.

Soar down the mountain then take a conveyor to go straight back to the top. When you need a break, warm up by one of the fire pits or grab a snack from the Tubing Café.

Slow down the pace with a visit to Brookdale Farms, an enchanting destination all year round. Wintertime, however, is all about ice skating. The ice rink is synthetic, so you don’t have to worry about warmer days icing out your plans.

For a wintertime hike, stop by Route 66 State Park just outside of Eureka. The park offers several easy scenic trails, including the Route 66 State Park Trail.
