The Big White Kids Dining Guide

Posted On: March 18, 2024 |
It’s one thing to impress mature taste buds with Big White Ski Resort’s growing foodie culture, but it takes a certain something to get both the 'bigs' and the 'littles' drooling at one table. We think we’ve got it covered - but you’ll have to let the kiddies decide for themselves!

The Woods
The Woods ‘Little Munchkins Menu’, for kids 12 & under, features four delicious entree options starting at just $12. This menu includes tasty classics like Chicken Fingers, a 63 Acres beef kids' cheeseburger, and a Smokie Dog served on a brioche bun with fries. Plus, each meal includes a beverage and an ice-cream sandwich for dessert (that’s made peanut-free for little ones with allergies!).

Happy Valley Day Lodge
Happy Valley Day Lodge is your daily family après hangout - with live music, free popcorn, free hot chocolate & colouring every day! Not to mention, weekly activities and events run out of this Happy Valley hub for weekly events – such as Tuesday’s Kids Craft Corner, Saturday Kid’s Culinary Corner, Thursday’s Trivia, and Wednesday’s Family Games Night making it a no-brainer dinner destination with entertainment for the whole family.

Vista at Black Forest
Nestled amidst the stunning panorama of mountain ranges, the Vista at the Black Forest Day Lodge delivers a taste of mountain comfort food that will satisfy those cravings after a day in the snow. Dive into a classic Canadian treat with our Traditional Poutine, featuring squeaky cheese curds, crispy Yukon fries, and rich beef gravy. Or, opt for the ever-popular Chicken Tenders, paired with those same crispy fries.

Spuds at the Ridge Day Lodge
With a menu that caters to every preference, including gluten-friendly and vegan options, parents can have a slopeside worry-free dining experience. Elevate your little ones' ski day with our perfect kids' hot chocolate, a warm hug in a cup after playful hours in the snow. Dive into our quick-serve selections, featuring traditional ski hill classics like an indulgent poutine bar, heartwarming baked potatoes, traditional perogies, and soul-soothing daily soups. And for early risers eager to hit the slopes, our breakfast sandwiches, available from 8:00am, provide a convenient and tasty chairlift brekkie.

Saturday Carnival Nights
Every Saturday night, the Village Centre Mall transforms into a spectacular carnival to entertain and amaze Big White’s little visitors. Between the bouncy castle, beanbag toss, and skill-testing puzzles and prizes - we bet they’ll be impressed by more than just the treats. That’s right – we said treats! Carnival night also includes free, fresh, buttery popcorn and colourful, sweet cotton candy, served from 6:30pm-8:00pm.

The Bullwheel
Little bulls are in for a treat at The BullWheel! Everything on their menu includes bottomless pop – need we say more? At The BullWheel, kids can enjoy amazing dinners from steak & fries to a chicken schnitzel, plus they have the option for ice cream as dessert with three different flavours to choose from! Warming up between runs has never been more magical. Warm those frozen noses with Heavenly Hot Chocolate (featuring whipped cream and rainbow sprinkles) and pair it with a colour-coordinated pink sprinkle doughnut!

Mountainside (lower level of the Village Centre Mall)
If you’re looking for a treat (*cough* bribe *cough*) look no further than Mountainside, located in the basement of the Village Centre Mall. This Technicolor candy store is filled with sweet treats that will have the whole family drooling and seeing rainbows. Jawbreakers, gumballs and chocolate, oh my! No need to count, pick your favourites and the friendly cashier will weigh your candy bag at the counter.

Globe Restaurant | Broken Anchor Cafe
Globe, a cozy mountain trattoria, offers a warm winter dining atmosphere with a kid-friendly menu that includes favorites like Chicken Fingers & Fries, Cheese and Pepperoni Pizza, and Buttered or Tomato Sauce Noodles. For seafood lovers, The Broken Anchor Cafe, a renowned Kelowna seafood spot now at Big White, presents a family-friendly menu featuring their famous crispy fish and chips, succulent shrimp, and great value family pack combos. Both venues ensure a memorable and budget-friendly dining experience, complete with freshly baked pastries, breakfast sandwiches, and coffee available all day for the whole family to enjoy.
