Kids Health Club

The Pool is Always a Good Idea

Our heated outdoor pool is a year-round favourite for families, offering the perfect balance of play and relaxation. Kids love the wide-open space, gentle entry steps, and mountain views that make every swim feel like part of the adventure. Whether it’s a sunny afternoon dip or an evening float under the stars, it’s the kind of memory that sticks with you long after the towels are dry.

Dining That Even the Picky Eaters Love

Dinnertime is easy when the menu is made with kids in mind. Our family-friendly restaurants offer dedicated kids’ menus, and children five and under eat free when dining with a paying adult. Whether they’re in the mood for gourmet grilled cheese, pasta, or a simple breakfast with a view, we’ve got even the littlest tastebuds covered.

Room to Roam (and Rest)

Spacious suites and adjoining rooms give families the space they need to spread out and settle in. Cribs and other comforts are available upon request, and for an extra-special touch, families can reserve an in-room Camp Fairmont tent experience—complete with a play tent, painting kit, cozy pillows, and a few surprises. It’s a playful way to bring the spirit of adventure indoors.
