Keystone Kidtopia: A Fun Festival that Never Quits!

Utopia can be defined as an ideal place or state. Kidtopia is defined as a rocking festival designed just for kids right here in Keystone, Colorado. With daily activities and events, Kidtopia is sure to be fun-filled and keep kids coming back for more. This year the schedule is packed with events for kids of all ages and families of all sizes, from face painting to ice cream with Ripperoo to meeting the Avy Dogs of Keystone Resort. Kidtopia kicked off this weekend and continues with daily events throughout most of the ski season. 
 
Daily Kidtopia events and activities are available through early April: 
 
The Biggest Snowfort
The Kidtopia Snowfort is back at the top of Dercum Mountain with all the fun a ginormous snowfort can offer. Explore, have a snowball fight, or just marvel at the world's LARGEST snow fort, right here in Keystone!

What could be more fun than launching a giant snowball? Mountain House Base area is where it's at for testing your snowball launching skills! Targets and prizes are available for those that have the longest launch and the best aim.
 
Adventure Walks
Although we believe we have found the Yeti here at SummitCove, you can set out in Keystone on the "In Search of Bigfoot Adventure Walk" to learn about animals, nature and Bigfoot. 
 
Wild Wednesdays
Every Wednesday Kidtopia hosts Wild Wednesdays where kiddos can run, crawl and jump through a racecourse designed just for them! After the course closes, there is a DJ available with great music and games in the Kidtopia Headquarters, complete with face painting! 
 
Sunday Family Pajama Brunch
Kids will be excited for brunch with other kids while parents enjoy some time off from the kids at the adult table.  Parents will enjoy a classic brunch with all the fixings inside the main Bighorn dining room with views of lakeside ice rink and relaxing music.  Kids will love eating kid-friendly foods from their own buffet with a fun atmosphere in the Littlehorn dining room with a weekly movie on 2 TV screens, craft tables and an appearance from Riperoo.  
Much more is available throughout the week at Kidtopia! And don't forget to save some time for skiing and riding! Take your family to experience Kidtopia this year!
