Amaze'n Steamboat
Steamboat’s only family fun park offers mini golf, an extensive maze, gemstone panning, laser tag and squirt gun fun. It’s the perfect place to spend an afternoon full of friendly competition with activities that the whole family will enjoy. Open Memorial Day weekend through September. Check the website,
www.amazensteamboat.com for specific dates, times and prices.
Old Town Hot Springs
Soak, splash and swim at this Steamboat landmark. The site was first discovered by the Utes, who visited the springs for physical and spiritual healing. Now the whole family can enjoy multiple pools (including a splash pool for toddlers), a climbing wall (ring the bell when you make it to the top!) and two mighty waterslides. Bring a lunch – coolers with
outside food and drink are permitted but leave the alcohol and glass at home. For daily ticket prices and more info, visit
www.oldtownhotsprings.org.
Mountain Fun
Cool off at Burgess Creek Beach at the base of the mountain, where kids can dig in the sand and splash in the water. Bonus: Parents can grab a drink from nearby Slopeside or Los Locos and
bring it beach-side.
Steamboat Climbing Collective
Get out of the hot sun and get on the climbing wall. Drop in during the week from 9 a.m.-8 p.m. or on Sundays from 10:30 a.m.-6 pm. It’s recommended to check the website first to make sure a large group isn’t already using the space. Adults cost $19.50 while kids are $13 (ask about discounted rates) and shoes are $3 to rent. A parent or guardian will need to sign a waiver and be present for the session. Half- and full-day camp options are also available. Visit
www.steamboatclimbingcollective.com to sign up.
Snow Bowl
If you’re looking for a rainy day or indoor activity, head to Snow Bowl and grab a lane. But don’t stop there – grab a cold drink and some food while you’re at it. Snow Bowl is a bowling alley that’s known for its menu – and its music. On Wednesdays and Saturdays from Memorial Day to Labor Day, check out the band on the outdoor stage. This summer’s lineup features bands like Constant Change, Sneezy and Float Like a Buffalo. Check
