Eat and drink
Head to one of Nova Scotia’s many delicious dining spots. From comfort food to high end locally inspired menus, there’s something delicious for everyone.

Cozy accommodations
Curl up next to a warm fireplace or enjoy a quiet winter evening at one of Nova Scotia’s unique accommodations. Check out a glamping dome for the perfect winter getaway. Watch snow fall outside the dome’s large front window and enjoy its hotel-like amenities right in the middle of nature. Year-round domes are equipped with a heating to ensure a cozy stay. Or enjoy the majesty of winter from a cabin in the woods or an oceanside cottage, many of which offer relaxing hot tubs. Or book a full-service getaway at a resort. Nova Scotia accommodations offer so many amenities like pools, hot tubs, onsite restaurants, live entertainment, outdoor equipment rentals, and more.

Did you know that Nova Scotia is home to three Nordic-style spas? Spend a few hours relaxation at Sensea Spa, the hydrothermal spa at Oceanstone Resort or the indoor Nordic circuit at Nature Folk in Downtown Dartmouth. Enjoy massage, thermal circuits, aroma therapy, plunge pools and more at one of these facilities. Reservations required in advance.
The great indoors
If you’re more of an indoor winter person, you’re in luck! Because there is so much entertainment and so many attractions to keep the good times rolling throughout the winter months. Explore museums, watch a theatre performance, enjoy live music, go shopping, or sip coffee in a cozy café.
