“Eagle Ridge is like going to camp – but in winter, with much more comfortable accommodations. If you’re looking to plan something for the long winter break, you can make the snow and cold fun again.” said Thomas Ruhs, general manager at Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa.

Don’t be caught off guard when the kids get another day off in February. Balloon glows and turkey bowling are just a few of the activities at the 2019 Winter Carnival at Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa in Galena, Illinois, just two-and-a-half hours away from Chicago.
For 2019’s President’s Day weekend Friday, Feb. 15 through Monday, Feb. 18, the resort’s winter celebration will feature all types of indoor and outdoor winter activities, from cozy bonfires to sledding and ice-skating.

Guests who visit the Nordic Center at Eagle Ridge can try something new or participate in their favorite winter sport, including cross-country skiing among more than seven miles of trails, sledding, and skating on the one-acre skating pond. More off-the-beaten-path fun is led by Nordic Center professionals, who take guests on twilight snowshoe hikes and organize broomball games and trips to local distilleries and wineries. They also teach skijoring, where guests’ dogs are attached to owners with a towline and pull them across the snow.
When it’s time to head inside from the cold, there are still plenty of opportunities for fun. Everyone can play indoors with activities like giant chess and checkers, ping-pong, arts and crafts, bag toss games, or swimming time in the heated indoor pool. Guests can also relax at Stonedrift Spa and at Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa’s award-winning restaurants.
