Whether you enjoy hiking, biking, camping, fishing, ice skating, trampoline parks, looking at Christmas lights or even staying in and watching a movie, baking cookies or making Christmas ornaments, the Tri-Cities has a variety of fun activities both inside and outside for families and groups of friends to attend.

If you’re more of an outdoorsy and adventure type of individual, the Tri-Cities have many options to offer you. For example, if you enjoy biking, Tannery Knobs Mountain Bike Park has many different bike trails that you can choose from. Depending on the intensity and length of the bike trail, you have the option to choose which one is best for you.

However, if you’re more interested in hiking, the Tri-Cities has multiple different options for you, as well. You can hike either to a lookout or even a waterfall. Rock Creek Falls Hiking Trail is a 1.5 mile hiking trail that leads to a beautiful waterfall. Within this trail, there are numerous creek crossings, so plan on getting your feet wet. Make sure to take extra caution when hiking and enjoy nature.

On the other hand, if you’re more interested in inside or even calm outdoor activities, the Tri-Cities has many fun options. Activities such as trampoline parks, skating rinks, Christmas lights displays, and movie theaters are all great activities to participate in.

For example, Shadrack Christmas Wonderland is a family friendly Christmas lights display hosted for the whole community to attend. The event is in Johnson City and is selling tickets from Nov. 24, 2021, to Jan. 2, 2022. This is an event you won’t want to miss out on. It’s a great family Christmas activity and is perfect for winter break.

Moreover, if you’re ever looking for some fun activities to do on a budget with your family, think about all the different Christmas activities you and your family can create on your own. Baking cookies, decorating gingerbread houses or even going to play in the snow can be a few ways to have fun and spend time with your family.

There is always something to do, and I hope with these ideas help you and yours have a fantastic winter break!
