Winter Activities

Warm Welcomes Extend All Winter

While many enjoy the longer-range views of winter hiking or the downhill thrills of snow tubing during colder months, Hendersonville offers plenty of indoor activities for those who prefer warmer conditions. Expand your knowledge of the earth’s treasures at the free Mineral & Lapidary Museum or at two gem mines with indoor options. Explore the arts with a live show or movie. Or play to your heart’s content at the expanded Hands On! Children’s Museum and Appalachian Pinball Museum, both on Main Street. History comes to life at the Henderson County Heritage Museum, Historic Johnson Farm, Carl Sandburg Home and WNC Air Museum. Shop for the perfect souvenir at one of the area’s unique boutiques and gift shops, A fitting end to the day in any season is a stop at one of the tasting rooms along the Cheers! Trail for a glass of beer, wine, cider or mead.
