Inexpensive Things to Do in Whistler BC (Under $25)

1. A Day at Rainbow Park
   Jump on Whistler's local transit The Wave (it costs only $1.50) and ride out to Rainbow Park. It's a little chilly for swimming, but the mountain views are sensational and there's lots of space to play frisbee, catch a ball, relax or even train spot (trains rumble past nearby). There's also the heritage site of Myrtle Philips' Rainbow Lodge still in existence.

2. Latté, Coffee, Frappé…
   There are over a dozen coffee shops in Whistler Village and Whistler Village North. They all have outdoor patios perfect for people watching. Read the local newspapers, write a postcard, and enjoy your day.
3. Go for Ice Cream, Chocolate, and Candy
   Cow's ice cream, Rogers' Chocolates, the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory and The Great Glass Elevator Candy Shop provide a day of indulgences. Watch chocolate making, sample new flavours, and try candy imported from the UK. Yum!
