Winter may not be everyone\u2019s favourite time of year, but it\u2019s an undeniable part of the Canadian experience. So, as part of our patriotic duty, we\u2019re taking a look at some ways to enjoy this season in Oakville, whether that means embracing it or escaping it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Outdoor Excursions<\/h2>\n

\"IMG_3037\"<\/p>\n

Those willing to brave a bit of brisk weather will be rewarded with some spectacular winter sights at any of Oakville\u2019s parks, trails or gardens<\/a>. Traverse some of our 150 kilometres of trails on a nature walk, enjoy a scenic stroll through one of over 200 parks or simply sit with a hot beverage and enjoy the view.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_3042\"<\/p>\n

Prefer some water in your winter scenery? A number of Oakville\u2019s parks, trails and gardens are located right on the shores of Lake Ontario, so there\u2019s no reason you can\u2019t enjoy your winter walk and get a great view of the lake while you\u2019re at it. You might even see a swan or two!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Indoor Escapes<\/h2>\n

\"IMG_3106\"<\/p>\n

Those simply waiting for winter to end can still find plenty to enjoy with a number of indoor Oakville escapes. History lovers can enjoy some heat and heritage<\/a> at the Oakville Museum, Canadian Golf Hall of Fame or Sovereign House, while arts enthusiasts can cozy up with some culture<\/a> at Oakville Galleries or the QEPCCC.<\/p>\n

\"20170517_010_3<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d rather raise the temperature with some thrills, you can enjoy games, food, drinks and more at Dave & Buster\u2019s Oakville<\/a>, or skydive without the wind chill at iFLY Toronto<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_3157\"<\/p>\n

But perhaps the perfect place to seize a little bit of summer is Oakville\u2019s Municipal Greenhouses<\/a>. This hidden oasis features balmy temperatures, beautiful blooms and a peaceful pond that are sure to make you forget about the cold climes outside.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We hope we\u2019ve given you a few winter activity ideas to make your season even more spectacular. No matter your opinion on this coldest of seasons, we hope you enjoy some of the winter wonder that Oakville has to offer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
