Spend the day fishing, strolling around the lake trails, or having fun on the Wibit Water Park Obstacle Course. Our son had so much fun on the water trampoline & swimming in the water!
2. Sasquatch Hunt
There is something about Big Foot that makes our toddler so excited! Check out Sasquatch sightings all over town! Even better, have ice cream with him at Big Foot Gifts & Scoops!

Fun for parents too! Board Games for Kids and an open back patio for playing make this the perfect spot to have a cold drink & enjoy time as a family! The patio is also dog-friendly!
