Each borrowed backpack comes with a pair of children's snowshoes and activities. Adult snowshoes are also available. This is a great activity for winter school vacation. Best for ages 3-9.

Really nice afternoon

I went with a neighbor friend trakking in the snow one boring winter afternoon. My 3 kids, then ages 5,7 and 9 and her two, ages 7 and 9. The activity pack was well designed however our adventurous kids had some old-fashioned fun in the snow as well as checking out the animals.

A Wonderful Experience

We took 24 school-aged children as part of our science curriculum. It was fabulous to see everyone exploring the grounds for animal tracks, sharing discoveries and just having fun! Beautiful landscape and very friendly and helpful staff at Gore. A must see and do for children and adults anytime!!!
