Enjoy the fall… indoors!

Musée des Beaux-Arts de Sherbrooke

Updated on Aug 13, 2025

Too cold? No snow? Don’t feel like playing outside? No worries. We’ve rounded up some great ideas to make the most of the season while staying inside (read: toasty and warm).

Day at the Museum


From special activities to workshops, films and more, many museums are breaking out of their traditional role in favour of hands-on educational entertainment—much the delight of little (and not so little) ones! This is the case at Sherbrooke’s Musée de la Nature et des Sciences where until September 2026, you’ll discover a multi-sensory show called AlterAnima, that explores the evolution of the landscapes of Sherbrooke and its region. Fascinating for all ages! Also, the Musée d'histoire de Sherbrooke, formerly under the name of the Société d'histoire de Sherbrooke, presents the exhibition Mémoires sherbrookoises so you can discover the city in a different way.

Night at the Hotel


Whether you’re across the world or across town, spending the night in a hotel always feels like being on vacation. Throw a heated indoor pool into the mix and the idea of staying in for 24 or 48 hours doesn’t sound too bad. In fact, it sounds like paradise!

To the theatre


The Granada theatre, Le Parvis in Sherbrooke, the P’tit bonheur in St-Camille, the Centre culturel de l’Université de Sherbrooke… These are just a few of our world-class venues hosting incredible entertainment acts this season. Looking for something kid-friendly? Try the Choux Bizz series (Centre culturel de l’Université de Sherbrooke).

Just say spa-ahh


Although a spa isn’t completely indoors, it’s a wonderful way to spend the day—whether alone, as a couple, or with friends—and you’ll stay nice and warm! Want to share the experience with your son or your niece? Spa Bolton welcomes children aged 7 to 11 on select mornings, allowing them to discover the joys of the spa. (Kids aged 12 and up are welcome anytime, except on Saturdays.) At Sherbrooke’s Strøm Spa, families with children aged 12 and over are invited to the Drøm evenings held on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Children aged 12 and up are always welcome at Spa Eastman, while Bromont’s Balnea welcomes guests aged 14 and over.

Succumb to your sweet tooth


The Laiterie de Coaticook for ice cream, the Confiserie Bromont for chocolate, Chocolats Vanden Eynden in Magog for even more chocolate, Érablière Bernard in Granby for anything maple… No matter what type of treat you’re craving, you’re sure to find it in our region.

Play inside


Shoot, putt or play? Take your pick from Laser Plus, Laser Game Evolution (Sherbrooke), Glo Golf (Coaticook) or Motion Parc Évolutif in Granby. For something a bit more cerebral, try Sherbrooke’s Escaparium, where you and loved ones race against the clock to solve riddles and earn clues.
