10 Things to do Good for Couples in Blue Mountains That You Shouldn't Miss
Although the name suggests otherwise, the Blue Mountains is an actual town in Grey County that consists of several small communities including Thornbury, Christie Beach, Clarksburg, Heathcote and Ravenna. The area is very picturesque and scenic in the summer months and during "apple season" in the autumn, but the town is most famous for its mountains. Tourists flock to Intrawest's Blue Mountain Ski Resort year-round for its wide array of offerings. If you aren't in the mood for skiing or snowboarding, take a stroll through Blue Mountain Village and enjoy a coffee at one of the cafes or a meal in one of the many restaurants located in the village.

We are a family of 4 with children aged 7 and 9. We stayed a few nights at Blue Mountain and had a wonderful time. There’s so much to do; the Ridge Runner, mini putt, obstacle courses, play areas, gondola rides, movies in the square, shopping, or just sitting at the dock enjoying the outstanding views of the mill pond. We even enjoyed taking the shuttle to the private beach where we had a relaxing time swimming and kayaking. We were all able to walk far into the lake, because it’s a good distance before it starts getting too deep for the kids. Overall, we had a wonderful time making lasting memories with our kiddies.

My 3 year old daughter and I went for a fun afternoon and the "Pottery" class was our highlight! The techniques shown to us were very helpful and made it easy for my daughter to paint her Shark on her own the way she wanted! We had so much fun and it was just the right amount of time for a busy toddler. We cannot wait to receive our "surprise" in the mail and come back for more additions to her shelf.

My first massage in four months was a perfect experience! Iwa has done an amazing job to make clients feel safe and the attention to detail on every aspect of cleanliness, staff training, and social distancing is benchmark. My therapist, David, was brilliant. I would recommend this experience 100%. The follow up on the volcanic rock was completely relaxing and the retail therapy of lululemon was perfect. (By the way great selection and no long lines like you experience in Toronto). All in all an amazing way to spend an afternoon.

We had the loveliest time at this winery - a hidden gem in the area. Their attention to detail is evident everywhere, including pandemic protocols that put us at ease for an indoor wine tasting in their beautiful restored barn/tasting room. Moreover, when dark storm clouds rolled in and we received tornado warnings on our phones the owner graciously moved everyone downstairs to wait out the storm and do an impromptu winery tour. The wines exceeded our expectations and the staff were knowledgeable and attentive. And the cheese plate was so good! Highly recommend.
