Things to Do in Thunder Bay in January

 

January brings a quieter side of Thunder Bay. The holiday rush has passed, winter is in full swing, and a new year offers a chance to slow down, reset, and experience the city during one of its most distinctly northern seasons.

Whether you're planning a family staycation, winter weekend, or business trip, Superior Inn Hotel & Conference Centre provides a warm home base for your January visit.

 

Plan a Winter Getaway in Thunder Bay

You don't have to leave Thunder Bay behind to make winter feel like a getaway.

Spend part of your day exploring the city or enjoying a winter activity, then return to Superior Inn for a warm room, indoor recreation, and on-site dining.

For guests looking for something extra, the Spa Suite offers a king-size pillow-top bed, sitting area, gas fireplace, soaker tub for two, and dual rain showers.

 

Escape the Cold with Indoor Family Fun

For families, January is a great time to trade snow boots for swimsuits.

Superior Inn's three-storey indoor waterslide, indoor pool, and hot tub provide an easy way to add indoor recreation to a winter stay.

Families can also choose from several accommodation options, including the Family Suite, Poolside Guest Rooms, and rooms with two queen beds.

It makes Superior Inn a convenient option for families searching for a hotel with a waterslide in Thunder Bay.

 

Experience Winter in Thunder Bay

January is also an opportunity to experience Thunder Bay in a completely different season.

Depending on weather and operating conditions, visitors can explore winter trails and recreation, local museums and attractions, dining, shopping, and seasonal activities throughout the city.

The key to a January getaway is flexibility. Enjoy Thunder Bay when you want to venture outside, then return to the hotel when you're ready to warm up and relax.

Dine at Lake & Spruce

Located inside Superior Inn, Lake & Spruce Restaurant & Lounge makes it easy to add dining to your hotel stay.

Whether you're starting your morning with breakfast, meeting someone for a meal, or looking for dinner after a winter day around Thunder Bay, having an on-site restaurant means you don't necessarily have to head back into the cold.

Check Lake & Spruce for current menus, hours, and seasonal features during your stay.

 

Start the Business Year in Thunder Bay

January also marks the return of meetings, training sessions, business travel, and planning for the year ahead.

Superior Inn Hotel & Conference Centre offers 12 meeting rooms, with spaces available for smaller meetings through larger conferences and gatherings.

With accommodations, meeting facilities, catering, parking, Wi-Fi, and on-site dining available at the property, business travellers and groups can keep more of their stay in one location.

 

Plan Your January Stay in Thunder Bay

January doesn't have to mean staying home until spring.

Make it a family staycation, winter weekend, business trip, or simply an opportunity to experience another side of Thunder Bay.
