Enjoy the fall… indoors!

Musée des Beaux-Arts de Sherbrooke

Updated on Oct 30, 2023

Too cold? No snow? Don’t feel like playing outside? No worries. We’ve rounded up some great ideas to make the most of the season while staying inside (read: toasty and warm).

Day at the Museum


From special activities to workshops, films and more, many museums are breaking out of their traditional role in favour of hands-on educational entertainment—much the delight of little (and not so little) ones! This is the case at Sherbrooke’s Musée de la Nature et des Sciences where until September 2026, you’ll discover a multi-sensory show called AlterAnima, that explores the evolution of the landscapes of Sherbrooke and its region. Fascinating for all ages! Also, the Musée d'histoire de Sherbrooke, formerly under the name of the Société d'histoire de Sherbrooke, presents the exhibition Mémoires sherbrookoises so you can discover the city in a different way.

Night at the Hotel


Whether you’re across the world or across town, spending the night in a hotel always feels like being on vacation. Throw a heated indoor pool into the mix and the idea of staying in for 24 or 48 hours doesn’t sound too bad. In fact, it sounds like paradise!

To the theatre


The Vieux Clocher in Magog, the Granada theatre, Le Parvis in Sherbrooke, the P’tit bonheur in St-Camille, the Centre culturel de l’Université de Sherbrooke… These are just a few of our world-class venues hosting incredible entertainment acts this season. Looking for something kid-friendly? Try the Choux Bizz series (Centre culturel de l’Université de Sherbrooke).

Just say spa-ahh


Although not 100% indoors, a spa is a wonderful way to spend the day alone, with a significant other or with friends—and you’re sure to stay warm! Want to share the experience with your son or your niece? Spa Bolton opens its doors to children aged 7 to 11 once a month, allowing them to discover the joys of the spa. (Kids 12 and up have access anytime except Saturdays.) At Sherbrooke’s Strom Spa, families with young children are welcome mornings of some Sundays. Kids aged 12 and up are always welcome at Spa Eastman while Bromont’s Balnea opens its doors to kids 5+ on occasion.

Succumb to your sweet tooth


The Laiterie de Coaticook for ice cream, the Confiserie Bromont for chocolate, Patisserie Dorville in Eastman for pastries, Chocolats Vanden Eynden in Magog for even more chocolate, La Rumeur Affamée in Sutton or Frelighsburg, La fournée des sucreries de l’érable in Cowansville for anything maple… No matter what type of treat you’re craving, you’re sure to find it in our region.

Play inside


Shoot, putt or play? Take your pick from Laser Plus (Sherbrooke) or Glo Golf (Coaticook), respectively. For something a bit more cerebral, try Sherbrooke’s Escaparium, where you and loved ones race against the clock to solve riddles and earn clues. Not afraid of heights? Tucked inside a converted church in Sherbrooke you’ll find Vertige, an indoor climbing centre that promises to challenges both kids and adults.
