The County of Simcoe skate trail has opened for the 2026 winter season. The skate trail spans over one kilometre through the Simcoe Museum grounds and surrounding forestry.

The skate trail will be open, weather permitting, on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Ticket prices are $10 for adults and $8 for youth.

Tickets are available at the door or may be purchased online at museum. simcoe.ca on the same day as the reservation.

Online ticket sales will be open by 9 a.m. on weekends, 4 p.m. on weeknights, and the skate trail itself will be open as weather and trail conditions permit. Booking in advance is not available to ensure trail conditions remain optimal throughout the season.

Skaters will be required to follow a one-way direction when on the trail and will have access to indoor warming stations and changing areas.

Skaters can access the skate trail through the group entrance of the museum as the remainder of it is closed for renovations and inaccessible to the public.
