Snow Festival for Families

Want to bring your young children to experience snow without having to travel miles away from Sapporo city center? For families with young children, Tsudome Snow Festival is the place to be. It’s not far from Sapporo downtown. This site features snow slides,  snow sculptures that you can touch, climb and take photos with. All suitable for adults and children. It’s a fun place for families with children for a quick few hours trip. If you need a place to get warm and snack, go inside the dome where you can rest and buy food and drinks. Some indoor children facilities are available as well.

The 2016 Tsudome Snow Festival will open from Feb 5 to 18.  The venue is not far from the Sapporo city centre. Simply take the Toho subway line, get off at Sakaeachi station and walk for 10 minutes. Or you may take shuttle bus that run between Odori Site/Sapporo Station and Tsudome site (200 Yen one way. It runs every 15 to 30 minutes). Please note that it only opens from 09:00 to 17:00 during the festival.

Does this look like the “find the panda” illustration that people circulate on Facebook? This is an original photo I took a while ago.
這張照片像不像在網上瘋傳「找出熊貓」的圖畫?它是我在很多年前拍的照片。

時代進步,近年用來裝飾小雪人的材料多元化和有更多色彩。

There were a lot of little snowmen made by children the first time I visited. All the eyes and decorations are basic small wooden blocks. In recent years, the decoration materials getting more fancy. But there were fewer snowmen. Do they all prefer staying home and play video games? 第一次來的時候,有很多小朋友親手做的小雪人,使用的裝飾材料比較簡單。近年的材料明顯地比較時尚,但堆雪人卻比較少,難道他們都比較喜歡留在家玩電子遊戲?
