Kids Après is back at the Whistler Museum for the BC Family Day Weekend on Sunday & Monday! This is a great chance to bring the whole family by the Museum to learn something new about Whistler’s history, add your own colour to archival images, and take home a wintry craft! Entry to the Museum is by donation.
Kids Après is back (and in-person!) for the BC Family Day Weekend, February 17 – 19 from 2 – 5pm. This is a great chance to bring the whole family by the museum to learn something new about Whistler’s history, enjoy free hot chocolate, add your own colour to archival images, and take home a wintry craft!
Not only is the museum open to the public, but our Kids Après is available to take home this BC Family Day Weekend!
If you have already picked up your free Kids Après Pack from the Whistler Museum, you have the materials for the following two crafts (not including scissors, glue or colouring materials – please contact us if you do not have these materials). If you haven’t already picked up your Pack, come by the Whistler Museum during our open hours (11am – 5pm) as long as supplies last.
Kids Après Packs also include our Kids Après Activity Book, which includes stories from our exhibits, colouring pages, mazes, trivia and more! If you would rather use your own materials for the crafts, you are still welcome to come by the Whistler Museum and pick up an Activity Book for free.

BC Family Day Kids Après is offered free thanks to the support of the Province of British Columbia.
We won’t be hosting our annual Kids Après at the museum this year, so (like last year), we’re making it possible to take some of the museum experience home! Our Kids Après Activity Book shares some of the stories from our exhibits alongside colouring pages, trivia, mazes and more that the whole family can enjoy.
For the Family Day Weekend (February 18 – 21), we’ll be creating more Family Day Kids Après Packages that will include an Activity Book and the supplies for two Kids Après crafts. We will be posting craft videos (similar to the craft videos created by our amazing students over the past two summers for Crafts in the Park) online here on February 18 so that you can craft along with us at your convenience at home.
Family Day Kids Après Packages are free and will be available at the museum from 11 am Friday, February 18. Please note that packages will not include scissors, glue or colouring supplies. If you do not have these, please contact us.
