Top Things to Do in Whitby This November (That Aren’t Outside)

Stay cozy and entertained this November with Whitby’s best indoor fun—from trampolines and arcades to museums, pools, movies, and live theatre.

Flying Squirrel: Hours of Fun

Nothing beats a grey November day like a giant dose of airtime. Flying Squirrel Whitby packs wall-to-wall trampolines, climbing features, a kid-friendly zone, and a café so you can refuel between jumps. It’s easy to plan ahead online—and the park’s convenient Whitby location makes it a quick “let’s go now” pick for families that need to burn off energy. Pro tip: check out Neon Lights on weekend nights for music-pumped glow sessions.

Get creative at Station Gallery
Slow the pace and spark some imagination at Whitby’s Station Gallery. Beyond rotating exhibitions, their Learn & Create programs often include family-friendly workshops and drop-ins. It’s a cozy, culture-rich way to spend an afternoon without bundling up—check current hours and programming before you go.

Step into history at Lynde House Museum
Whitby’s oldest home is now a living-history museum with guided tours, changing displays, and special events. Kids love peeking into the past, and parents love that it’s all indoors. You’ll find Lynde House at Brock and Burns—easy parking, easy plan, lots to learn.

Load up on books (and more) at Whitby Public Library
When you want warm, free, and educational, the library is your hero. Whitby Public Library’s children’s programs range from book clubs and storytime to guided crafts and hands-on experiments. Peek at the kids’ page for the latest drop-ins and events across Central, Rossland, and Brooklin branches.

Catch a movie at Landmark Cinemas 24 Whitby
For those “let’s keep it simple” evenings, Landmark Cinemas brings comfy seats, fresh popcorn, and plenty of showtimes. Check listings ahead and make it a full night with nearby eats at the Centrum.

Explore cars through the ages at the Canadian Automotive Museum (Oshawa)
Car lovers (big and small) can wander among 75+ vehicles spanning more than a century—indoors, year-round—at the Canadian Automotive Museum in Oshawa. It’s an easy add-on to a downtown Oshawa lunch or coffee, and a great way to mix fun with a little learning.

Crack the code at Durham Escape Rooms
Got tweens or teens? Team up for an hour of puzzle-solving at Durham Escape Rooms in Whitby. Themes change throughout the year, and it’s an awesome way to get everyone off screens and thinking together. Book your timeslot online to lock in a weekend spot.

Make a splash at Whitby’s indoor pools
If the kids are climbing the walls, trade parkas for swimsuits. The Town runs indoor swims at the Whitby Civic Recreation Complex pool and at the Anne Ottenbrite Pool in Iroquois Park Sports Centre—great for lane swims or family leisure time. Check the latest schedules before you head out, as times can shift with programs and maintenance.

Plan-ahead tips for a smooth November
Book busy spots in advance. Pack grippy socks for jump time and comfy layers for moving between venues. Keep an eye on each venue’s website or social feeds for special hours around Remembrance Day and late-fall events—there’s often bonus programming you won’t want to miss.

With this line-up, your family can stay warm, active, and happily tired by bedtime—all without braving the windchill. When you’re ready to bounce, climb, and laugh your way through a grey day, we’ll see you at Flying Squirrel Whitby—your go-to indoor adventure spot all November long.
