Family Fun

Grand Lake is packed with family-friendly activities that make it the perfect destination for all ages, especially in the warmer months! Start the day at one of the local playgrounds where kids can swing, climb, and explore while parents enjoy a reprieve and the stunning mountain views. Head down to the town’s sandy beach for a fun afternoon of sun and splashes—swimming, building sandcastles, or simply relaxing by the water. For some extra thrills, try a round of mini golf at the Meandering Moose Mini Golf course or take a spin around the Rocky Hi Speedway go-kart track, where friendly competition is always welcome. And don’t forget to make a stop at one of Grand Lake’s classic ice cream shops to cool off with a cone or sundae.

In winter, Grand Lake transforms into a snowy wonderland full of family-friendly activities! For sledding fun, head over to Town Hill on Lake Avenue by Trinity Church in the Pines, where kids and adults alike can glide down the snowy slopes. The Grand Lake Nordic Center also offers free tubing, giving families another option to enjoy the thrill of sliding on the snow. For a more classic winter experience, check out the two free ice skating rinks in town, where you can lace up your skates and twirl around under the open sky. The fun doesn’t stop there—take advantage of Grand Lake’s public parks to build snowmen, create snow angels, or have an impromptu snowball fight.
