23 Quaint Towns Worth Traveling to This Winter

These tiny towns are filled with big adventures for families.

You don’t have to go big to keep your little snow bunnies entertained this winter. In fact, these tiny towns are proving just how much adventure one family can fit into a small space, with everything from sleigh rides and sledding to skijoring and sightseeing, and even a few that don’t include snowy goodness (hello, beaches and sunshine). Flip through to find your next pint-sized winter destination!

Montpelier, Vermont (Appx. Population 7,795)

It may be the tiniest state capital in the country, but don’t think that means it’s a sleepy town. Quite the opposite … especially during the winter. Let the kids do their holiday shopping downtown or at the huge (but tightly curated) Touch of Vermont Holiday Gift Market (Dec. 16). For your outdoorsy tykes, Hubbard and North Branch Parks offers skiing and sledding. Hungry? Check out the Capital City Farmers Market, a year-round fete where vendors hawk fresh, seasonal foods.
