Affordable Family Fun In Spokane

Trying to please the entire family while on vacation can be challenging and expensive. Here’s a handful of ideas designed to meet everyone's needs. From hard-to-impress teenagers to tantrum-prone toddlers. We got you, boo.

Centennial Trail

The Centennial Trail gives you a 40-mile opportunity to walk, run, bike, or scoot. The paved trail starts at Riverside State Park and meanders along the Spokane River to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

Hit The Trail
Walk in the Wild

Blue Zoo Aquarium (4705 N Division Street) has a stingray touch pool, starfish touch tank, and more. While you’re headed north, make a trip to Cat Tales Wildlife Center (17020 N Newport Highway). You’ll see big cats and other wildlife in a safe setting at this wildlife sanctuary.

Other Natural Wonders
Skyway or the Highway

Drop into the Skyway Cafe at historic Felts Field (6105 E Rutter Avenue). Try the giant sticky buns and watch the planes take off.

Take off
Green Bluff

Fresh air and fresh fruit greet you at Green Bluff (8110 E Greenbluff Road). This collection of family-owned farms is just north of Spokane. Depending on the time of year, you can pick strawberries, cherries, peaches, apples, pumpkins, or Christmas trees.

Farm Fresh Fun
Amusement for Days

Just 47 miles east of Spokane, you’ll find Silverwood Theme Park (27843 US-95) in Athol, Idaho. If it’s amusement you seek, you’ll discover 70 rides, attractions, and a full water park.
