Hi,

Would like to get advice where was the best place for Snow Activities For Kids near Sapporo by end of November month.

Thanks

Sapporo Kokusai or Maruyama Zoo?

Snow starts to fall high in the mountains, then goes down to city centers. The timing varies year by year. No one has a definite answer. However, Sapporo Kokusai Ski Resort announces an opening date of 16 Nov 2018.

Ski Resorts are basically designed for advanced skiers. They pay for lifts and ropeways and that supports ski resorts.

Not all kids are good at skiing, or they have not learned skiing. Advanced skiers go to steep slopes, while kids prefer flat land at the bottom of mountains.

Some ski resorts have kids space for such purposes, but it is better to select snow world just for beginners.

Takino Snow World and Classe Snow Park belong to this kind. Unfortunately, they are not likely to be opened by late November.

So, you may have to go to kids area inside a ski resort, or just visit some parks covered with snow. Maruyama Zoo will be opened on Nov 1.

Sapporo Teine opened on 18-Nov-2017, but Kid's Park on 12/19. Kid's Park in Sapporo Kokusai may not be opened by late November either.
