Swim with Santa

Expand to see the parent tip

Mr. and Mrs. Claus get in the water at the Battlefords Co-op Aquatic Centre for an afternoon of splashing and poolside photos.

The City of North Battleford lists it as free in its fall 2026 leisure guide, and volunteers from the Battlefords Scuba Community help run it, so kids who would never sit on a mall Santa’s lap often warm right up in the pool.

Parent tip: Bring a waterproof phone pouch or have a dry adult on deck for photos, and pack a warm hat for the walk back to the car.

Museum Christmas festival

Family Christmas Festival at the WDM

Expand to see the parent tip

The Western Development Museum’s North Battleford site fills a Friday evening with dog sledding, sleigh rides, heritage crafts and a mini Christmas market.

Kids can do their own gift shopping at the Elf Market and get a picture with Santa, and there is a concession on site for supper.

Parent tip: The sledding and sleigh rides depend on the weather, so dress the kids for the outdoors and come early while it is still light.

A story for the drive home

A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.

Rally Takes the Train book cover: a watercolor corgi peeking from a red train

A bedtime story after seeing SantaRally Takes the Train is a five-minute rhyming picture book about a corgi’s first ride on a California train, hand-painted in watercolor. $16.99 on Amazon, ages 0 to 8.
