50 things to do in Rexburg during the Winter

How Should You Spend Winter in Rexburg?

BYU-Idaho Enrollment Winter 2020

Winter is here! Snow covers every inch of the ground and you can hear the soft crunch with every step you take. It’s well below freezing, so you’d better have a thick coat and a warm hat to wear. Most people I know want to nap through the next couple of months. I’ve heard it time and time again. “There’s nothing to do in Rexburg!” “It’s too cold outside.” “I’m so bored.” To that I say, you can either throw yourself a pity party or discover just how great winter in Rexburg can be. January to April has to be one of my favorite times to be up here! There are plenty of events, activities, restaurants to choose from and ways to get into trouble. You just need to know what you’re looking for.

To get you started, here are our great ideas for you to explore Rexburg through the winter semester 2022.
