Just For Kids
True -- we're all kids for life, but being a kid in Sun Valley means that the best playground in the world is at your back door. From terrain parks on Dollar Mountain, to mountain biking and adventure camps for summer fun, to classes at the Sun Valley Center for the Arts and ERC, to picking seven different types of raspberries at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden -- being a kid is just better here.
When making plans for your next family vacation, consider some of the activities available for your children listed below. With choices ranging from outdoor activities, theater and live performances, art exhibits and classes, to tours of gardens and river walks, children of all ages can stay active and entertained!
