Jones Fam Adventures

If you’re looking for an unforgettable day of active fun with your children in Aberdeen, Adventure Aberdeen Snowsports is the perfect destination. Nestled in the heart of Garthdee, this family-friendly snowsports centre offers excitement, energy, and a safe space for kids to explore skiing and snowboarding — even without real snow.

I recently visited with my two boys, ages 7 and 9, and it was easily one of our most memorable outings of the summer. From the moment we arrived, the friendly staff made us feel welcome. They were well-trained in working with kids and immediately put both boys at ease — especially my younger one, who was a bit nervous about trying something new. The facility is equipped with dry ski slopes and a snow tubing area, all designed to introduce children (and beginners of all ages) to snowsports in a relaxed and fun environment.

We started with a snow tubing session, which was a massive hit. The boys raced each other down the hill in big inflatable rings, laughing all the way. It was fast-paced, easy to pick up, and required no prior experience, making it ideal for young kids. Best of all, they never got tired of going back up and sliding down again — it’s the perfect mix of adrenaline and giggles.

After tubing, we joined a beginner ski taster session. The instructors were patient and engaging, teaching the basics through games and playful drills. Watching both boys slowly gain confidence and even manage to glide a few feet on their own was a proud moment for me.

Facilities on-site are clean and well-maintained, and there’s a cozy indoor area with snacks and drinks — a welcome break between activities. Parents can either join in or watch from the sidelines, and there’s plenty of space to do both comfortably.

Whether you’re local or just visiting Aberdeen, Adventure Aberdeen Snowsports is a great place to introduce kids to skiing and snow-based activities in a safe and enjoyable setting. It’s active, affordable, and guaranteed to leave your kids asking, “When can we go again?”
