3. String Lake

What lovelier way is there to spend an afternoon together, than being lakeside surrounded by mountains and trees?

You can rent kayaks and take them out on the calm waters – don’t forget your life jackets! An added bonus is that there isn’t a very long walk from the parking lot, making the entire experience as simple, but thoroughly enjoyable, as possible.

4. Pick a Park, Any Park!

If Jackson Hole is the land of adventure for adults, it’s the land of parks for kids. With over 15 parks spread around the town, the challenge lies in choosing which one to go to! For the most part, each park has some amount of playground equipment.

5. Snow King Mountain Bungee Trampoline
