Ride The Tram Or Gondola

Hop aboard the Aerial Tram at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort or jump on Snow King's new, high-speed Gondola in winter to ski down or in summer to take in the awesome spectacular views.

Tour Grand Teton And Yellowstone

Don’t forget to see Old Faithful!

TAKE A HORSE-DRAWN SLEIGH RIDE

In the winter, enjoy viewing elk and other local wildlife on a horse-drawn sleigh ride on the National Elk Refuge

Ice Skate

During the winter months, ice skating in the middle of Town Square is classic, family-friendly fun.

MAKE THE MOST OF JACKSON’S PARKS

Rendezvous Park (“R Park”), on the banks of the Snake River in Wilson, boasts a swimming pond and trail system. Phil Baux Park, at the base of Snow King, is a great place for kids to try bouldering, while you picnic in the shade.

Enjoy A Nature Hike

The Cache Creek Nature Trail is a short, accessible hike along a boardwalk to a Forest Service picnic area—dogfriendly and appropriate for even the littlest rugrats.

Adventure For All

Head over to Snow King Mountain and take a thrilling spin on the Cowboy Coaster. It’s a ride the family will never forget and is good for kids age 3 and older.

Hit The Trails On A Horse

Let your child really channel his or her inner cowboy! Few activities offer as much insight into the traditions and textures of the West as horseback riding. Jackson Hole horseback trail rides range from one or two hours on up to a full day in the saddle. The well-mannered and mountain-trained horses make exploration easy. Try out a ride with a simpler excursion around the Snake River Ranch with Teton Village Trail Rides. For more options, Spring Creek Ranch frames most of its rides against the backdrop of the Tetons, while Mill Iron Ranch offers a wide variety of rides out into the mountain trails of the wilderness and fishing streams.

For more than fifty years, Teton Science Schools has connected learners of all ages to each other and to the natural surrounding environment.
