Nice park. Pretty clean and well taken care of. Plenty of big trees, a splash pad for children, a playground, water access for swimming, kayaking and even boating, jet-skiing, etc. Access to various cruise ships and other water vessels and the like from several docks. Nice walking/bike paths. Benches and bench-swings, plus a concession stand and Hawaiian Ice. A few suspicious, possibly homeless, possibly substance abuse type people but they didn’t bother us. Overall we had a pleasant time this day and when we visited before. Would go back again.

A great park any time of year. And it’s only 3-4 min drive from the hospital, so it’s great if you have a wait. There is also a gallery/gift shop right next to it.
It has tennis courts, awesome playgrounds (one for 5-12 year olds, one for 2-5 year olds), all of the park benches are swinging benches, a boulder/rock climbing area), a music area with mallet percussion, a water front walking path, and a amphitheater. Beautiful views throughout. You can easily spend 30 minutes or many many hours there. Lots of tress for shade. It even had an AED on site for emergencies! I think there is also a concession stand, perhaps open during summer months. It’s also next door to the community center.
Park seems clean and well maintained.

The park is vast and runs right along the river. There is a nicely paved river walk that extends a good distance in both directions. There were paddle board rentals and docks. I was surprised that cruise ship docked there so lots of activity. Restrooms were also available near the playground.

I go to Howard Amon park often. There's an awesome path to walk/bike/skate on, lots of area for picnics and activities, and my favorite pastime is sitting along the river and soaking up those healing river vibes. All in all, I really love this park and recommend everyone to come out here and play!

This was one of the park we went to on our first visit to Tricities and instantly fell in love with the area because of it.
The park has a really neat playground for the children and cool swing benches you can sit on while enjoying the beautiful view of the Columbia river. We took our kids here one evening last summer and there were lots of kids at the playground laughing, screaming and running around. Now that may turn some people off, but I absolutely loved it. We live in a small town with a very tiny playground and barely see any kids play in it, so to see that many children playing in this park gave me so much joy. Even after dark there were still tons of people hanging around at the park and children playing at the playground. I didnt want to leave but the mosquitoes chased us away. 😅🤣
Pictures attached were from our last visit to Tricities before we move out of state this coming summer.

My 1st time here! It was pretty cool! Went for the boat light parade, there was all kinds of things to do and eat! We took the short free train ride to look at the inflatable lights figures, had some free hot cocoa, and enjoyed a free visit and pictures with Santa! Not sure what it looks like during the day, but pretty cool at night and awesome fireworks!

Very beautiful park!! It was amazing to see a hydroplane practice landing on the river.
The playground had interactive musical instruments and it was well maintained. The dock was also pretty cool. you can see fish and even a small lobster swiing at the bottom. Would definitely visit again.

As visitors to this city, this park was recommended by family who live here. Loved the abundant benches and picnic tables, as well as the music corner. Every park should have swinging benches like this.
Pendleton Underground Tours offers a walking tour that delves into the city's intriguing history, including its shady past involving gamblers, opium dens, and Chinese laborers. The tour explores underground tunnels where Chinese laborers lived while working on regional railroad operations and where illicit businesses like brothels and speakeasies operated with hidden escape tunnels. This unique experience provides insight into Pendleton's captivating past and is a must-do activity in town for those interested in local history.
I've heard people talk about this underground tour and wanted to check it out.
This tour did not disappoint! The history is AMAZING and simply fascinating!
Becky (I think was her name) was our tour guide. She was fabulous! She has a stellar personality and made the tour fun and informative.
There is one downfall-- I wanted more! I didn't want it to end. I wanted to go as far as the underground would take us!
We will definitely do this again! They told us about an adult tour that sounds awesome!

Wow! What a great tour and such a neat place to see. I know it gets great reviews on google, but the pictures and reviews do not do it justice! It far exceeded my expectation.

Thanks for providing such a great activity for visitors to learn about the history of Pendleton!

This has been on my bucket list for years and I finally got to cross it off.
The tour guide, Matt Ramirez, was so knowledgeable and entertaining; that place is historical beyond belief.
The historical value of this endeavor is priceless and I commend the Non Profit for this undertaking in doing their part to preserve the history of this area.
The tour itself was fascinating seeing how people were forced to live and how they, as a people, overcame their obstacles.
I'm not proud of the facts this history represents, but it is vital we keep things like this alive, so future generations can learn from it.
It truly is remarkable and a MUST SEE whether you are local and have never been, or just passing through.
There is also a quaint gift shop and the young lady working there was delightful and I found several must haves to take home with me.
It was all well worth the afternoon we spent there!
Just a few of the several dozen pics I took, simply fascinating!

Tour is an amazing 1.75 hr long opportunity to gain some understanding of Chinese life in Pendleton, Oregon and understand their incredible contributions to America beginning in the mid 19th century through the turn of the 20th century and beyond.

This was a neat thing to do while passing through. The staff was very pleasant and knowledgeable. It was interesting going through the rooms and learning about a shady part of history. So why 4 stars? First, our guide was great, he explained things as we walked through each room. The price was a little high but in todays day and age it was worth it, especially seeing our guide pointed out other local free attractions and let us know if we showed our tickets where we could get discounts. The 3 issues to bring it down a star, first, way to many people on the tour, you are in tight little rooms down underground with no air flow, put that with a big (about 14 people) group it gets hard to breath, plus mid tour 2 people left early because they felt ill, again they where crammed in tiny rooms with us for the last 45 minutes, the second issue is the bathroom situation, they encourage you to drink water as some rooms can be very warm, but for the 1 1/2 hour tour there is no bathrooms, and the third, doing the tour is not easy, your going down stairs, then up stairs, then back down and up and down and up, and the flooring in almost every room is uneven and you have to watch your footing, if you have any difficulties with stairs, or walking in general pass up on this tour. It was interesting and overall a good time and the guide was great, I would recommend doing it if you can get in with a smaller crowd.
Known for wool apparel & blankets, this chain also sells non-wool clothing, decor items & linens.
Such a cute city with lots of shops and an interesting history. The underground tours are very informative. The Tamastslikt cultural institute, just outside of the main streets of Pendleton, gives you a different perspective on the indigenous Americans and how these last 200 years have affected them. I would also absolutely recommend stopping by the Pendleton woolen Mills for wonderfully crafted wool sweaters/ blankets.

Do you want to experience "great customer service" again? Then ask for Carrie to be your personal shopper.

Absolute must-stop. We were there on a rainy day and did the tour of the mill. It's not easy for a non-native English speaker to follow everything, also due to the noise from the machines, but despite that it was interesting and great to see the process. Large store attached to it with friendly staff and good deals.

Pointing out sales and explaining pricing. Extremely high prices, I could not find a single product made in USA. Everything in the store is made in China. You are paying for the Pendleton tag but not getting Pendleton products. Very disappointed. I will now cherish my old school Pendleton gear even more.
Update. Do not be confused by the response from Pendleton. Two of us spent 45 minutes looking for a tag made in the USA, never found a single one. Just like China, don't trust Pendleton and their deceptive ways.

We love stopping in here. Before reading on, I have to say I graded them down two full stars because their employees are so unfriendly. Not rude, just super cold and unfriendly.
The store is always clean and well stocked. The quality of their mechandise is top shelf. We have three of their blankets, numerous shirts, suitcases, bags...... their goods will last a lifetime. Taking the mill tour, which I have done 6 times over the past 30-years, is a blast.
It's worth a trip here, we just wish they could find a friendly face to hire.

We visited Pendleton Woolen Mills and it was a great hit with the family. They sell blemished blankets at a discount which is a fine way to acquire a Pendleton wool blanket without breaking the bank. I bought a coffee mug and hat. My wife purchased the blanket and she was so pleased. I observed many people leaving who were super happy - one lady was even happy crying.

We stopped o. Our way home from our PNW road trip, purely because we knew my mother-in-law would get a kick out of it. She loves Pendleton! We walked through the store. Found a few fun things for my mom-in-law. The bathrooms were clean. The store was well organized and clean. There were no tour's happeing that day but we could see into the mill through glass doors. Was fun to see the wool and threads stacked up and a blanket being wooven. (I thinks thats what it was anyways.) The staff were friendly and helpful!
Wildhorse Resort & Casino is a laid-back destination that offers various dining options, a golf course, and an indoor pool. The facility is smoke-free indoors, with smoking only permitted outside. It features amenities such as a bowling alley, arcade, movie theater, and children's entertainment center. The resort also provides comfortable accommodations and a casino for guests to enjoy. Visitors appreciate the friendly staff and affordable food at the sports bar during happy hour. Additionally, its convenient location makes it easily accessible from Boise.
Fun gaming (love that it is still a non-smoking facility). Good food options (although we miss the original deli). Lots of family entertainment...swimming, bowling, movies. Tower hotel rooms are clean, comfortable, modern. Friendly and competent staff.

We had fun here! Staff were all very helpful, courteous and friendly. The room was clean and decent but could use a little updating. Not complaining though because we did get a discount! After signing up for the club card we got our second night for $35 because it was a Tuesday night. Nice surprise there! Overall a very pleasant stay.

The good: Nice room, nice casino, great sandwiches, good bartenders, good parking, easy to get to. The not so good: pool was cloudy and smells so we did not get in, check in was very slow. Not just slow but "what in the world are they doing up there?" , slow. We thought about staying a second night but would have had to change rooms so we decided to get a few hours closer to home instead.

Amazing place! We did a golf trip with 16 people and the accommodations and staff of the resort, bar, and course were amazing. The bar manager, Anna, booked us a private area of the bar for 2 nights. The server, Lisa, was incredible! Best server I have ever had! Lastly, the golf course was in amazing shape and everyone who worked at the course was amazing.
Nathan Schroeder — Google review
Very convenient from Boise! Cleaner rooms, and no smoke in the air. Dealer, restaurant staff, and cashiers were all very friendly- no matter what time of the day! Food at the sports bar is CHEAP and GOOD! the nachos are always my favorite. Happy hour is half off apps, so my boyfriend and I got a whole table of food and a couple drinks for $50! That's a crazy good deal, especially for a casino/hotel. The pho place is tasty, and relatively cheap as well!
They also have a pool and dry sauna to use, as well as a well maintained mini-gym! I haven't utilized the bowling alley or movie theater yet, but I'm very glad there's some things to do aside from gamble! I'm always very impressed, and the slots pay out pretty well, too! They've got a $5 minimum hand that pays 3/2 on blackjack most mid-days, too, which is awesome for a beginner who doesn't want to spend $15 or more a hand anywhere else.
For $60/night at the hotel, it's an amazing place to travel on a budget for a weekend getaway!

Hoping the new tower will be up soon. The first two nights in the tower were great but had to roll down to the old part on Sunday, New Year’s Eve. Getting the buffet back would also be great. Lost or shall I say contributed for the most part, suggest you check out high spade flush (newer card game) or double action combo of 3card poker and let it ride. Had to stand around to much waiting for positions to open at the card tables. If we are standing watching ya’ll are loosing out.

We stayed at this hotel three times now. They have a nice newer tower where the rooms are probably nicer, but we have to stay in the courtyard because of our dog. These rooms are definitely dated but it's nice that they allow dogs. It's very convenient to get outside lots of grassy areas. Hotel also has good restaurants, food court connected theater in bowling alley. Staff here is very friendly. I want to give a shout out to Britney at the front desk who was especially helpful when we needed to extend our stay because of our sick older dog, recuperating from oral surgery.

We love coming to Wildhorse! The Traditions restaurant is delicious as is their food court! We love that they are a smoke free facility so smoking is only allowed outside. They have a bowling alley, arcade, movie theater, children's entertainment center (which is a day care for kids 13 and under), pool, hot tub and of course the hotel and casino. We have stayed many times and utilized all of the facilities. They were all fantastic!!! The children's entertainment center is amazing!!!! They are all so very kind and engaging with the kids. They have. Play structure in there, video games crafts and other fun activities. You pay by the hour and can include meals and drinks for your kids. We love that it's super secure! You present your driver's license when checking them in and out and only you can get them out. I could literally go on and on about Wildhorse! Check it out, you will not be disappointed!

Previously had issues years ago when it was under different ownership. Issue was resolved asap and management apologized.
Power happy guard doesn't know how to tell the truth and avoid power struggles. I was crisis trained through Cornell Universities program. The same training cops are required to have. More credentials than private security.
Was treated like I was a liar and like I was crazy even though I've never had a ticket or offense in my life.
I was compliant, wasn't rude, and did exactly as I was told as the moron decided to tell me I was kicked out for 24 hours. Even though it was the first time I was told I wasn't allowed to do what I was doing. Proceeded to tell me it was my last warning even though it was my first. I came back and talked to other departments and they didn't understand why it was an issue to begin with and agreed that the situation didn't need to be handled the way it was.
After being told I couldn't do it anymore, I left and I was followed by a tribal police officer all the way back to town. More than 5 miles which is illegal. Management did not talk to me or tell me what was going on and neither did tribal police. The only person who talked to me was the power happy security guard who of course handled the situation alone.
I told him I was recording and the guard repeated "I know I am." He doesn't need to intentionally gas light and use manipulative statements to subtly irritate others. It's completely unprofessional.
I'll be carrying something from my own personal collection valued at $8k. If I'm forced to throw my own things back I'll pull out the receipts and file charges.
He's lucky I don't file charges to begin with since I have disorders and harassing a person with disorders is a crime. Psychologically manipulating people with disorders is known as abuse too. Treat me like I'm crazy again and I'll press charges against the exact person who did it as well as the company if it's not handled appropriately.

I love this casino! This is my local casino and yeah everyone loses every once in awhile. But I somehow always win jackpots here. I have won jackpots ranging from $500-$5000. This casino also has a kid friendly children's entertainment center and arcade that doesn't charge an arm and a leg! And the rooms are always clean! They also have awesome staff. I would recommend anyone to try this casino out, you won't be disappointed.

Service can do better. It seems like everyone working there is less motivated. Don't get me wrong, you have some workers that make the experience enjoyable, but overall, most seem unhappy to work there. I get it life must be unhappy at times, but the customer is paying for experience and for the service. Just because we are not paying 5 star resort prices does not mean we should take 1 star resort services. A paying customer is a paying customer. It doesn't matter if we tip big or tip small if you don't want us there, then we are glad to our money and spend it where we are appreciated. Everything was okay. I'm going to say it's a 5 star place, but the only thing I recommend is to make every customer's experience the best experience regardless of how much we pay and for goodness sakes please put a smile on your faces. It does not cost anything to treat people nicely, kind, and with respect.

Review is for the casino only. Did not stay in the hotel. Second time here, walking out a winner again so obviously I LOVE this place! I had $150 free play from my last visit and $10 for food. 😀 I only play slot machines but I come in ready to lose it all so if you're not ready to take a loss don't do it! I didn't lose last night tho, or the last visit 😬 Oh, and us truck drivers are HUGELY thankful for providing us with a safe place to park overnight. Thank you thank you THANK YOU!

Had a great time with my family. Great staff that were helpful and friendly. Pretty clean overall. My only complaint is the music videos of choice playing on the big screen for my 2 yr old, 4 yr old, 9, and 11 yr old to see and ask questions about why they were seeing such inappropriate things..... call me old fashioned but my kids arent allowed to see or are familiar with skin showing and mature dancing. 🤔 firework show was pretty cool! Would definitely go again better prepared. Just change the music video selection, pretty please!
Sincerely, a mom trying to raise her kids right.

Wild experience and a fun New Year's Eve! We spent one night her and 2 additional nights elsewhere due to availability. The room was clean and I had no complaints. The only downside was that to get to the pool you had to walk through the lobby, next to the check in desk and past the gift shop for access. Great weekend overall!

Room was out dated and definitely needs new clocks and outlets were worn-out and plug kept falling out. But dinner was good at the sports bar. Didn't do any gambling but a good selection of games and table games too. Valet was good too, they let us park our bikes were they could see them and all was good. Would I stay there again? Definitely, just hopefully they will update the outlets and clock. The room did have a mini fridge and it was quite and worked great and clean.

Rv resort is ran down and could use some attention. Casino is a run of the mill casino. Staff are very friendly. Arcade is nice. Children’s play area is lacking. Food court has excellent food for the price. Ice cream is good as well. We did not partake in the movie theater or bowling so I cannot comment although both look nice.

We went bowling here, and we had a great time, even though we're not good at bowling. A friendly server brought over a pitcher of water and cups for our group. There are a lot of family-friendly options for entertainment, and there is even child care for ages 3 to 13. The sign says your child should be potty-trained because they can not change diapers. The employees in the child care area were very kind.

Has shuttle from the parking lot to casino area for us drivers!
It has a clean food court to chill in!
Love the ice cream place & you got your moneys worth for the 3 scoop bowl! It was only $4 you can’t get that at the truck stop! Lol
Movie theater & bowling alley was clean also!
Reasonable prices for movie .. $10 for adult & $9 for small snacks including drink ..popcorn.. & theater sized candy!

2/26/24 stayed one night for my birthday. The room was gross. Carpets badly stained, holes in the curtains. Furniture is very old and has finish worn off and stained, bead spread was dingy tattered and losing threads. Toilet is from an elementary school about 12 inches tall.
It was a Monday night so the good restaurant was closed. No place to get anything but bar food. A diner with an extremely limited menu. When seated they put a sign in your face telling you there’s a 90 minute maximum at the table. Overall a very unsatisfactory experience and won’t be returning. Even though I won money. It’s the furthest one can get from a resort experience….

Gross treatment from the dark-haired lady at the lobby bar. She tried banning me because she thought my ID was invalid & was super rude about it (I had 4 other employees check it throughout my stay and no one had a problem with it, I even joined their club with it) So they need to get their employees on the same page and teach her specifically customer service skills

RV overnight dry camping stay. Great location and lots of amenities at this casino, including a movie theater and bowling alley, ice cream shops, a food court and restaurants...and the casino! The best part is that they do not require RVers to join the players club or register to overnight in the dry camping area of their parking lot. We had a great dining experience at the Traditions Restaurant, too. We walked the family friendly carpeted path at the outer fringes of the casino and hotel to get a bit of exercise after our dinner. We'll be back!

Our server was Samantha, such a sweetheart! It was so busy but she smiled all night. A great place to stop!
Very tasty award winning wines on a lovely property that has a playground for children! That's a winning combination!!
We enjoyed getting personalized service from friendly staff on a slow day that made it possible to also push our daughter on swing! The Cabernet Franc was a highlight for us! But everything was worth the drive out to school house,even the non award winners. The whole family loved spending time here, and we even saw a rainbow on the way back to the car!

Stopped in on way through for a tasting. Young lady was very knowledgeable and it was a great experience… Wine was great too… tasting was $20 but received that waived if you bought any wine… which we did…

Excellent wines and Ciera was an great host. The old school house building is cool. The only detractor was that the room we were in was very loud which made it hard to hear our host describing the wines. It was raining the day we went, but we would go back again on a nice day and use the outdoor seating area. We left with several bottles. L’Ecole had some of the best wines we’ve tasted in Walla Walla.

I visited once in 2010 and now again in 2022. They're consistently friendly and have an amazing space! If you can get a school house tour, you should! Back in 2010 I was a white wine drinker and loved their Sémillon. Now I'm a red wine drinker but I STILL love their Sémillon!
Their staff is also super knowledgeable. I included a picture of a rock from one of their growing regions and the info about how it's different.
Worth the visit, would go again :)

Fantastic wines! Very knowledgeable, friendly staff. Nice setting in an old school house that they renovated. Definitely recommend visiting this winery.

Enjoyed the venue. Outside, the replica schoolhouse bell is a pleasure to ring. Beware the lovely Loud ring. The schoolhouse was founded in 1915. Longtime W² family refurbished the school which closed in '74. A gorgeous staircase from a local Orphanage was rescued before its demolition and added to the schoolhouse. The wine is quite unique. The history is a wonderful part of the visit. Downstairs is an original water fountain and a mural created by former students. The main room has a piece of furniture from a local bank. Also a lead glass window behind the bar counter with the letter 'F' in the center. The book collection within the 'library' shelves is amazing. Don't let the new Highway 12 bypass let you miss this fab bit of history. A big thank you to the Baker Ferguson family for this save.

Fantastic winery in an old school house building. Beautiful ambiance inside and lots of seating outside. You can also take the wine and food and sit on picnic tables in the lawn. Excellent selection of wine, especially the Syrah. Staff are friendly and know their wines. One of the must-see wineries in Walla Walla.

Very cool winery with a unique history. The grounds set in an old elementary school. The staff is great, accommodating, and knowledgeable about the history of the winery and about the wines themselves. We really enjoyed the tasting, and enjoyed trying the flagship Ferguson afterwards as well! Would recommend this place to anyone wanting to try some good wines in a simple locale.

Old French schoolhouse has tons of character and interesting layout. Tastings done inside and outside. Reasonable prices
Basalt canyons & a 198-ft. thundering waterfall with an ADA-accessible overlook, plus a campground.
This waterfall is so beautiful! It’s about a 2 hr drive from Spokane. Once you get close You drive down a gravel road to a parking area. And from there you can see the waterfall. ( no hiking required to see it) There is picnic tables around the area for those enjoying the view. Bathrooms are near the parking too!
And if your hiking you can walk down the path towards the train tracks. The hike down is steep but it leads you down to a mini water fall and sometimes when the water is high it’s a little slick. Then you continue on the small trail until you’re at the top of the waterfall.
It’s fun with groups and I’ve even seen people bring their kiddos too- just be careful.

My daughter and I drove here to watch the sunrise. We had the park to ourselves and a gorgeous morning. It is easy to find but also out in the middle of nowhere. I liked it because it is accessible. There are a few trails to wander around, not really a hiking kind of park. But anyone can get to the spot to see the falls. Which are SPECTACULAR. This will be a favorite spot for years to come.
Suzanne Stauss — Google review
Wonderful place. So beautiful that it reminds me that life is worth living. Plenty of trails to explore. Could just stand and stare at it for days. Never gets old. Was especially beautiful today with all the fog rolling in from the valley and then disappearing over the falls.

A nice and humbling jewel on the East side of Washington state, created by lava flows and floods from the last ice age. It's a very secured area, with incredible views on the waterfall and canyon. We were the only ones on a Saturday morning, in the middle of winter. Watch out for the fog on the way there.

There's a reason that this is Washington State's Waterfall - it's majestic, powerful, and a unique desert type of falls. This park is great for stargazing and grabbing great landscape pictures! I recommend visiting during the Spring when the grass is very green, or Autumn where you can find ice near the falls and yellow hues in the canyon. I absolutely love it here - it does not disappoint.
Adam Stout — Google review
Beautiful park with great views all around. The landscape is so unique! The park has ample picnic tables which makes it a great stop for lunch. The toilets are clean. There is a small hiking trail that was partially closed.

Great view of the falls. It is out in the middle of nowhere, but if you are driving past, it is definitely worth the stop.
Be careful with little kids. The main area has some fencing, but a large portion of the park has no fencing to keep you from going over the edge. A fall would be 100% lethal. Pets should also be on a leash.

The official waterfall of Washington State! The 200 foot high waterfall makes for a lovely stop if you're in the area. Located 4+ miles up a well-maintained gravel road, the falls are no longer accessible directly by foot due to a high number of injuries from hikers taking a spill down the steep canyon walls. We visited two vantage points, both offering breathtaking views of the falls.
Lloyd Lindberry III — Google review
It’s a gem. You can venture off or enjoy the view. It’s a wonderful place for a picnic. Or a highway leg break. Kind of off the path a little. Some dirt roads. Nothing a Tesla can’t do. If you feel adventurous, take a left.

Palouse Falls is a 200 foot epic waterfall. Formed from the Palouse River and the Snake River confluence. It is the last waterfall from the ice age floods. The drive out to the falls is a bit of a trek and 100% worth the stunning views. It's literally like something from Jurassic Park. There's plenty of space to sit and enjoy the vistas or you can take a lovely hike along the cliff edges. We chose a small loop trail at the top of the fall since we had the dogs with us. Check out a video from our trip at our YouTube channel. LINKINBIO

Lovely falls, went in yesterday, good flow of water with light drizzle. What a nice view to take the photos with rainbow appearing for few minutes. You've good amount of parking lots with rest rooms and tables to have food and enjoy the view. You need to have discover pass to park the car, you can buy as well here
Porkaipandian Gopalakrishnan — Google review
This fall is like an Oasis in the middle of a desert.
You need to drive off road for 2-3 miles. All Wheel Drive car is preferred.
Parking here requires discovery pass, else you need to carry $10 cash. You need to keep the cash in an envelope and drop in the box with your car details.
You will hardly spend 10-15 mins here.
If you have already seen enough waterfalls in Washington state then you may not like this.

Pretty cool view. Not a lot of things to do here, not sure if there were any trails. Suggest to go early in summer, it was pretty hot by 1 pm. There are some picnic tables in the park and you can buy day pass/discover pass at the pay station.

Magnificent!! So glad we stopped! Palouse Falls State Park offers a very clean and accommodating area to park, picnic, use restrooms, and prep for a fun and doable hike around the falls area. It took about five minutes to drive out to the park from the main road. You do need park pass as it is fee-based. You can enjoy the view of the falls from the parking lot if you do not wish to do the hike. It is nagnificent! There is a pay station at the front if entry if you do not have a pass. You are not required to stop there to pay, you can do so after parking.

Long scenic drive to get here, but worth it in my opinion, I lucked out and was able to drive it during sunset and truly a gorgeous experience! The falls are magnificent and rushing !! There are lots of picnic tables and even bbq pits. Definitely recommend packing lunch or something to grill and coming for a sunset dinner or even lunch. I think there are hikes in and around the area, not 100 % sure

Palouse Falls State Park is a Natural Marvel Nestled in Eastern Washington, Palouse Falls State Park is a breathtaking showcase of nature's grandeur. At its heart, the 198-foot Palouse Falls captivates with its thunderous cascade into a rugged canyon. The park also offers tranquil river vistas, where the Palouse River winds through rolling hills, providing serene trails and picturesque picnic spots. What sets this park apart are strategically placed seating areas that offer front-row views of the canyon and river. Palouse Falls State Park is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts too, with eagles and falcons often gracing the skies. It's an enchanting destination for anyone seeking a profound connection with the beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

Palouse Falls State Park is a stunning 105-acre park located in the Palouse region of Eastern Washington. Known for its breathtaking waterfall, which drops from a height of 198 feet, the park offers dramatic views that attract visitors from all over. The falls were carved more than 13,000 years ago by the Ice Age floods and are one of the last active waterfalls on this historic path. In 2014, the falls were designated as Washington’s state waterfall, thanks to a bill written by local schoolchildren. The park provides limited camping, picnic areas, and birding opportunities, and is an ideal spot for photographers and nature enthusiasts. Visitors should be prepared for a remote experience, as cell phone service is limited and the park is far from nearby cities and amenities.

The basalt canyon and falls are spectacular. The road to the park is like a washboard and very jarring to drive on. The trail around the western side of the falls is only about 0.75 miles with several overlook areas.
The Spokane Falls are a man-made waterfall and dam in the city center of Spokane, Washington. The Upper Falls is home to the Upper Falls Dam, which directs water into the falls intake on the south channel of the Spokane River while Lower Falls features Monroe Street Dam, which generates hydroelectricity for the city. The falls are a local landmark and one of the top attractions in Spokane.
Amazing! Right in downtown Spokane.

Had a blast checking out the trail and surrounding businesses. It was definitely worth renting the scooters as we were able to cover much more ground and see all the different falls from all the best vantage points. We ended up spending almost a full day here and it was the highlight of our trip even though we only stopped just to check it out.

Great place for an afternoon visit
I have been to the Spokane area a few times in the past few years but I have not had the time to see the famous Spokane Falls. This time I was on a mission to finally see them. I made all of my business appointments for early morning so I had some time in the afternoon to actually spend some time at the falls. There is plenty of parking nearby on the streets and there are public parking spots nearby. There are gondolas which take you over the falls, bit since it was October they are only available at certain times during the week so I was not able to take a ride. To get to the preferred viewing locations near the falls you have to go done many steps, but the effort is worth it.
There are some very nice views of the falls and the river. You have to walk around to find good vantage points for pictures. There are also signs and information posts around the area where you learn about the falls and the local indigenous culture. This is a great place for a solo visit or a family visit and you could spend a few hours taking it all in. A spectacular spot for an afternoon visit.

The Riverfront Park in Spokane, Washington is a beautiful park that features a Looff Carrousel from 1909, Rotary Fountain, and many other attractions. The park is located on 100 acres of prime land along the Spokane River and it is popular with visitors for its amazing views of the upper falls of the river as well as its expansive grounds.
Beautiful walk for all ages with lots of cool sculptures. Great showcase of the area. Little ice rink track for doing loops that was pretty unique, and a cool chalk art area under the bridges. The park is perfect for an afternoon or evening walk no matter the time of year. Lots of stuff closed, like the indoor carousel- I'm presuming because of Covid. Still a great walk none-the-less to enjoy the day and people/bird watch!

We had such an amazing time just exploring! There are multiple parks and activities; pedal cars and scooters you can rent at very reasonable prices, fun landmarks to learn the history of, and beautiful sculptures all over! We had so much fun just walking. It's also very close to downtown, so we were able to spend the day at the park and then go find several options to eat!

Riverfront park is a must see if you are visiting Spokane for any amount of time. The planners and developers have thought of everything to make this park inviting, accessible to all ages and skill levels, with so many activities to choose from.

We attended the Park's 4th of July celebration. It was great! Packed but with all the things that can keep families busy, it was ideal. We went to the fossil park and splash pad, watched the symphony at the pavilion, and then sat in the grass near the clock tower to watch the fireworks. Our kids had a blast! Will be attending next year as well!

Great place to walk, jog, bike, and run. Gets busy. Lots of things going on all at the same time.
The trails are nice. I would recommend always having someone with you, there’s a lot of homeless people there and no security what’s so ever.
Some areas are trashy and can small like marijuana, like many places around this city.
Stay close to any young ones. Stay in crowded areas. Watch for the bikers because there are blinds spot. People are supposed to walk their skateboard and bike but you know how people respond to regulations.
Lots to do and see. Very lively. Take precautions thats what I’m telling you.
Oh and people drive fast so watch twice before crossing. Still a lot of ricer on the West Coast (I’m from the other side of the States).

River front park was a good experience it is very urban which means that it is also quite busy and parking is a nuisance. The best way to get around river front park is on the Electric scooters and/ or bikes as the park is so big and has plenty of pathways.
That being said riverfront park is indeed very urban with fencing around all of the river and falls, there isn't a lot of nature to actually enjoy which is both fortunate and unfortunate.
If you're going in for a walk this park is definitely big enough to get your steps in, but most of what you'll see is sidewalk fence and some grass.
There is I think 3 bridges that go over the water, one of them is currently under construction as is a good portion of the park.

Took a road trip from Tri-Cities and spent most of the day here, rode the Numérica SkyRide which was short but had a cool view, 1st time on the Lime Scooters which we explored on for about an hour, left to watch a football game at Buffs, then returned to see the lights at the Pavilion. Overall it’s a great hang out spot, lots of things to see & do, we really enjoyed our little get away.

The vibrant district of Downtown Spokane, also referred to as Riverside, offers a pedestrian-friendly environment with an array of casual dining options, trendy bars and nightclubs, and a blend of both chain retailers and independent shops. The area features meticulously restored buildings such as the Historic Davenport Hotel from 1914 and the art deco Martin Woldson Theater at the Fox that houses the Spokane Symphony.

You can spend an hour in the conservatory easily. See a few pics. This was a real treat. We will be back.

This is a beautiful park. I gave it 5 starts, but would have given 4 1/2 stars if available. Only because their directional signage is very not clear. The gardens are well cared for and maintained. The conservancy was amazing, it has a variety of cacti and other exotic plants, I love cacti. The rose gardens not only had great variety, but I could smell the roses walking through.

This was my first visit to Manito Park, and I would definitely recommend it. We went through the first week of November, and most of the annuals (like the Rose Gardens) had already been cut back. Workers were clearing garden beds as we walked through. Even with some missing, the walk was still beautiful. Gorgeous trees and perennials abound! I am excited to return in Winter for their Christmas Lights & then again in the Spring. With so much hussle & bussle in downtown Spokane, this lovely gem is a break from the headaches and offers a few mintutes of peace and tranquility.

Love love love this place ! It's the only place I resort to go to on special occasions when I don't have extra money to play with . I go to this place on my birthday every year . The cactus green house is my FAVORITE. The Rose Garden is a rose growing competition, all types of new rose species by growers. Then get judged and placed accordingly. All individual growers create their own unique rose and title them and place in competition . Its interesting ! The two toned bright pink and orange and white all in one rose..are my fave. The anise is a fave as well.

Green Bluff is a farming community and census-designated place situated in Spokane County, Washington. The name of this place is derived from a cliff located in close proximity. Its height measures 2,310 feet above sea level. The population count during the 2010 census was recorded at 761 individuals, which marked the first time that Green Bluff had been recognized by the U.S Census Bureau.

Mt Spokane is a towering mountain peak located in the Inland Northwest, boasting scenic trails and historic ruins that lead to an observation deck with breathtaking views.

Amazing drive with spectacular views of the mountain ranges! Excellent ski park for all levels from bunny hills to longer ones. The hike in the snow was pretty good. Open access to many walking and hiking trails. The vista house was close at this point of the year so will definitely want to be back for that. Parking wasn’t difficult but imagine it gets crowded during summer.

Circling Raven Golf Club
Golf course
Outdoor Activities
Hands down the best course I have played in Idaho or the area. Great condition, GPS on the carts. There is a lot of native grass, but no water which is a little different. I love to walk when I play but would not want to walk this course as it’s very spread out. Wish I would have taken more photos though. Also Bluetooth speakers on the carts which is very nice. Fairways probably impressed me more than anything else. Will hopefully make it back next year!

Exceptional golf and easily the best course in Idaho. The practice area alone is top tier with a separate short game area and full driving range. The course was in pristine condition and presented a lot of challenges or choices on how you could play each hole. The rolling wheat hills were beautiful and separated each hole so that you really can't see another fairway from your current hole. The par 3s were very long but had stunning downhill views (200 yards from the white tees). Greens weren't rolling very fast when I played it, which was fine with me but some of the greens weren’t in the best of shape if I had any complaint at all. Also practice green was closed. Got to see a moose and a calf walk across the 10th fairway which was special. Played here twice and both rounds were under 4 hours which was pleasing. Pro shop had a pretty big selection of goods and the staff was nice. If you are ever in this part of the country this course is a MUST play. Especially for the price, this course is way better than Coeur d'Alene resort course (circling raven is less than half the price of CDA resort). Come check it out you will not be disappointed.

Beautiful course! Had a great girls weekend! Only wished we had known that our cart wasn't allowed to leave the path due to an upcoming tournament! It was almost like walking 18 holes!

Excellent course that will test your short game and also your putting game. Nice views, and pro shop, food was pretty good. Can't wait to play again, around $120 for a round.

Amazing golf course ⛳️ I would rate it the best in the area. It is a very long course if you are walking if you are carting they have really nice gps carts. The practice facility is huge and the pro-shop has everything. We took the kids for a practice round and we were the only ones on the course pretty much it was amazing 🤩 highly suggest this course
Steven Paquin — Google review
The scope a size of this course is enormous. I love that the course is in front of you. No blind/trick shot necessary. Generous fairways for a short hitter like me. Played from white tees it was less intimidating for a first time player. Good distances between holes. Very fair price.

Played at circling raven for the first time yesterday and I’ve gotta say it exceeded expectations on all fronts. The course was amazing, the practice facility was top tier the staff was welcoming and friendly the food was priced extremely well for the quality. the pro shop had everything you could ask for and more. Will be making the trip again with out any hesitations.

Wow! All I can say is wow! This course was amazing! The groundskeepers did an OUTSTANDING job! The clubhouse was amazing and Jordan at the front desk of the clubhouse was very helpful! Can’t wait to come back! Seriously haven’t golfed in over 10 years and I had such and amazing time! The carts were pretty awesome, the service ON the course was epic and it was just an all out Amazing opportunity, Connie Jacobs, thank you so much for helping us experience this wonderful time!

Outstanding facility, easily one of the best in the PNW. The course is excellent and when we played (August '23) the conditioning was impeccable. Practice facilities are great too. As far as the clubhouse goes probably one of the best resort merchandise selections around.
While you're down town enjoying the activities of Coeur d'Alene Tubbs hill is a great walk and get away so close to downtown. Places to stop and enjoy views of the lake.
Donda Walsh — Google review
A very nice hike around the shoreline that kids can do with adult help in a few places. The view of the lake is spectacular and there are lots of trails that lead down to the waters edge. Additionally there are steep trails that go to the peak. Not the best view due to trees but really good for the heart rate! Overall this is a great family hiking place right in downtown Coeur d' Alene!

Great hike along the edge of the lake. It was a bit gusty but it was still fun. Good hike for young kiddos, my 3 and 4 year old walked most of it just fine.
We hiked the brown trail.

We loved hiking here! It was quite the exercise. We took the opportunity to use the little side trails that take you down to look at the water. I would love to set up a hammock there sometime. Beautiful views!
It's not wheel chair or stroller accessible, as there are lots of roots and rocks to clamor up.

It was amazing, but I'm very tired. A few trails for everyone 😁, we chose the loop trail, the whole trail was up or down, but the views were fantastic. We took many photos, nature is beautiful. There were many small and large rocks, bridges, the trail led among conifers but sometimes you walked in the sun without a bit of shade 😁. It was worth it although I had the moment that I could not cope, I would not come 😳. I came, I overcome fatigue 😀

Amazing public place for all to share and enjoy the beauty. The back side by Sanders Beach has a less busy feeling and the front by the resort and boardwalk has a couple beach spots and rocks to jump from- it's all beautiful and all good swimming!

The stunning Lake Coeur d'Alene presents ample opportunities for recreational activities. With its picturesque surroundings, visitors can indulge in a range of water sports, take seaplane rides or bike on multi-use trails that run along the lake. The downtown area of Coeur d'Alene has plenty of Huckleberry products and excellent dining options to explore.
Vast lake in north Idaho. Nice scenic byway to drive

Scenic lake and a beautiful city. The place offers well maintained bike lanes with boating, kayaking and paddle boarding activities. Best weekend getaway for families and young couples. Around the lake the town offers a good number of restaurants, cafes, and museums to spend a relaxing evening.

Beautiful Lake! Amazing place to vacation. The lake and watersports, seaplane rides, and biking/multi-use trails around the lake. Coeur d'Alene is a great little downtown to walk, with Huckleberry everything, good restaurants. Take a short boat ride from Coeur d'Alene resort to the golf course and have an amazing breakfast on the patio overlooking the floating green

There are a lot of uses for logs on the lake. A substantial amount of them have broken free and lay haphazardly along the edge of the water. For being so far out in this wilderness that part was disappointing. Otherwise it was very nice to be out on the lake!
Nicki B — Google review
The second-largest lake in Idaho is less than ten miles east of downtown, with a comfortable surface temperature of around 70 °F in the summer months.
Conveniently, the largest city on the lakeshore, Coeur d’Alene, is right next door to Post Falls, which puts a wealth of amenities and experiences at your fingertips.
You can take a scenic cruise on the lake, walk a network of well-maintained trails, visit attractions like a cute llama farm, dine in the charming downtown area, go fishing or simply lie back next to this natural wonder.
City Park has an exquisite lakeside promenade and a stretch of beach, while McEuen Park has recently been renovated with a large splash pad that children adore in summer.
Lastly, Kokanee salmon migrate to the lake in fall and winter to spawn by the gravelly shoreline, and this event attracts dozens of bald eagles, best viewed at Wolf Lodge Bay, a few miles east of Coeur d’Alene proper.

Silverwood Theme Park
Theme park
Water & Amusement Parks
Water Parks
Largest Northwest theme park offers 65+ rides, a water park, casual dining & an on-site RV park.
Silverwood is the greatest. I have been going since I was a kid and it still is great. The rides aren’t too intense but they give just enough adrenaline that you get the rollercoaster high. Boulder beach has really expanded in recent years and is so fun.
I love the classic old time feeling that silverwood has. It has kept its charm and I hope that never changes. The new stunt pilot ride is a lot of fun but I am partial to the wooden roller coasters.
I can promise you will have fun at this park. It is more than enjoyable. The staff told me the last time I was there that the best time to go is a couple days after the Fourth of July. It is always their slowest days of the year because everyone has to get back to work.
If you are considering it, I recommend going for it. You won’t regret it!
Nikolas Steele — Google review
Family run theme park that has something for everyone.
Silverwood is a fantastic theme park that is truly run with passion and quality experiences for guests. For a relatively small, less known theme park I was really impressed and had a blast. The coasters are good fun (Aftershock is epic); actors and train ride is a good time for all; magic show (Nick and Mad Mike especially) is a great way to break up the adrenaline fuelled fun; and the park’s theme and environment is genuinely beautiful and well maintained.
Great place for a family, thrill seeking adults like myself and anyone who wants to escape for a fun adventure in Idaho.
Yeehaw Silverwood!
Joey Crowther — Google review
WHAT a great park! Homey and small, but with some really good rides, great atmosphere, and friendly people, both at work and as visitors. Parking is across the highway and you walk through a tunnel to the park. Then it's left to the theme park and right to the train and the water park.
I didn't know what was good here, and was able to ride Aftershock twice right away. But Tremors is my favorite ride here, followed closely by the single-rail Stunt Pilot coaster, which loads super fast! Every park should have one of these!
I was done with all the rides by 3 and went to the water park for a while. But I didn't realize until later that the train only runs once an hour and the popular show is only on some of those trips, so I missed the show, which I regret. It's kind of out of the way of everything else, so you really have to make an effort to get to that part of the park. I did get a nice trip nearer sunset, however. The magic show is really good! The variety show in the saloon is pretty campy and not much space to watch it in.
I appreciate that there are quieter areas of the park. Just behind the kid's rides is a pretty park to rest in, and near the train is a theater that plays 3 stooges all day if you need a dark and quiet place to sit down.
Sara Beth Wade — Google review
We had a lot of fun. The lifeguards were straight up on it and were really awesome with the kid. The variety show and train ride was so much fun. We had a blast with the rides. Really clean and the employees appeared to really enjoy what they were doing. Even the ride operators were generally having fun and making the day enjoyable. Thank you for making this 7th birthday for my daughter a blast!

I enjoyed my time at the Silverwood Theme Park in Idaho! The place is clean and beautiful.
I like it better than Disney Land and Universal Studios. We went three days in a row, and enjoyed every second of it. The food that you purchase inside of the Park was really good, and the kids loved it as well. It is definitely a good choice for your family to create memories and relax. It’s was not hectic or too busy. I am definitely taking my grandson there once he’s of age.

Silverwood Theme park is an epic adventure that everyone from all ages needs to experience. From the rides and roller coasters, to the water park and slides…the day was filled with memories and screams from speed.
The amusement side of the park has it all. For the young and the more advanced thrill seeker. My favorite was Spin Cycle…and it’s upside down twists and turns. Worth the ride! The roller coasters are fast, I mean fast!
For the water park, the slides were amazing. You have everything from fast plunges to twists and turns, in tubes to open air excitement. The water was warm everywhere we went. Plus clean! The lazy River hit the spot for us adults too.
For as many people were there, the staff was amazing, the park was clean, the food was amazing and I highly recommend the Huckleberry Shakes and Chicken Finger baskets.
We loved it, it truly is a great full day of memories in one place.

I have been to all the parks, just about. The Mouse, The Flags, The Orlando, but this place is something special. The feeling we got when we entered was unmatched by the other guys. There was a tangible sweetness to the atmosphere. Every employee greeted us with a smile and thoughtfulness. They genuinely enjoyed working there.
The grounds are breathtaking. The grounds crew has no equal. They take great care of the entire park. The RV Park is the best way to go. Clean. Quiet. Wonderful. Our family is planning to come back again and again.

A bucket list adventure for the whole family! This place is absolutely amazing! Must do, atleast once! Great huge parking lot, even when it is busy- it doesn't seem too packed. Not very long lines.

This family owned theme park has something for everyone! (And we didn't even make it to the water park!)
Our family group included ages 0 to 60, some much slower than others, but everyone had a blast...with exception of the infant who was too young to be aware of anything.
From wild coasters to milder log ride and children's rides; from a very enjoyable scenic train ride to comedy shows, this amazing park has got you covered.
You'll also find reasonably priced food and drink options.
Many of the attractions are handicap accessible and employees go the extra mile to help you learn the ropes and avoid long lines. (Just pick up a courtesy pass at the information booth when you enter the park).
Silverwood has a great website with helpful tips to make your visit the best! Check it out if you haven't already.

The roller coasters were fun but I can't say the same thing for the water park. The lines were huge for the water park rides, and I am talking about 40 minutes wait, but the rides themselves were fine but not very fun. The roller coasters were amazing, though there were 7 of them and the waiting was long as well. I just hope that the people who let the riders in learn to count well since they let more people than there supposed to be and the people behind me got on but I had to wait another turn.
Olesya Samarkina — Google review
Tons of stuff to do, whole park is clean even though there were lots of people. 2 day pass with break in between is best. Plan for one day at water park and another for the theme park. Food is reasonably priced but lines can be long if it is busy. Would recommend and we are definitely coming back next year!
Alex Tonu — Google review
Great place! This could easily be a multi day thing if you want to experience everything. Lots of cool places to see and fun rides. The wait time for the rides wasn’t even bad, we went on a sunny Saturday and they kept everything running smoothly so that we didn’t have to wait very long for the roller coasters. The waterpark had longer wait times, but I feel like that’s to be expected when it’s a warm and sunny day. We enjoyed the wave pool and lazy river which didn’t have waits instead!

We recently visited Silverwood and had an absolutely amazing time! From start to finish, our experience was filled with laughter, excitement, and memorable moments that we'll cherish forever. What impressed us the most was not just the incredible attractions, but also the affordability that made our family day out even more enjoyable.
The variety of rides and attractions at Silverwood catered to every member of our family, from the thrill-seekers to the more laid-back adventurers. The roller coasters were exhilarating, and the water park provided a refreshing break from the summer heat. We were pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and maintenance of the park, creating a safe and enjoyable environment for all.
One of the highlights for us was the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. They were always ready to assist with a smile, adding to the overall positive atmosphere of the park. The efficiency in managing the queues and ensuring everyone's safety was commendable, making our visit stress-free.
What sets Silverwood apart is its affordability without compromising on the quality of the experience. The ticket prices, food options, and souvenir choices were reasonable, allowing us to make the most of our day without breaking the bank. This aspect made our visit not only entertaining but also budget-friendly, a rare combination in the world of theme parks.
In conclusion, Silverwood exceeded our expectations in every way. It provided a perfect blend of fun, excitement, and affordability that made it an ideal destination for a family day out. We wholeheartedly recommend Silverwood to anyone seeking a fantastic and budget-friendly adventure. We can't wait to return and create even more cherished memories at this fantastic amusement park!

I was originally going to take my grand kids to California, but decided to head to Idaho to Silverwood and what a great choice that was.
We arrived the first day after school let out. The parking is $10 we arrived at 10:45 am we found a spot immediately we were in the park and on the first ride within 1/2 hour. The lines weren’t very long 10 minutes at the most except the ferries wheel because it’s weighted balance, so they take time to make sure your on it correctly which at first can seem frustrating when your the first person in the line yet the last one on the ride.
The food is very reasonable $10 for a decent high protein yet fried food, they have a variety of places to eat I had a burrito bowl with chicken and yet it was only $10 as well.
The people who work there are friendly and helpful a great staff.
The park is clean we didn’t get a locker but the have them, they also offer refill drink containers.
The gift shops have fair prices I never felt like they were gouging prices, like they do at the movies and other theme parks the reasonable.
I will be retuning here.
The quarter arcade was a win, win when grandma (me) was tired, I gave them $20 and they played for 1.5 hours as I recoup.
I bought 2 day passes for 5 3 adults and 2 children and it was only a little over $450 what a great value for all the fun we had.
Thank you Silverwood & staff for making our first trip of the summer great.

What a clean, well maintained, and established theme park. So many rides with a variety of food shops and shopping experiences. Did all of the roller coaster except for 1. We spent an entire day up until evening time and enjoyed the lights, food, and atmosphere. Only recommendation would be having more lights along the walking path for nighttime and would be nice to have the ride signs light up. Also the log ride was very dark at night and would have like to see more added to the journey along the river. So much to see and do, it's a great day and night trip. Located close to Spokane and all amenities.

Great experience at Silverwood for their Scarywood Halloween event! The details are so intricate and the decorations and haunts were very elaborate! The Scaries (characters) were exciting, friendly and helpful when we couldn’t find certain places in the park. All staff we interacted with were very friendly and helpful. The rides were SO fun at night! Highly recommend! It was very cold and the only thing I could think of to make it better is if there were more warming stations throughout the park. We will be back again. Excited to go to Silverwood this summer for more rides.

To say Silverwood is perfection is an understatement! From the moment you walk through the under highway tunnel, you are transported to a Mary Poppins feel. It's refreshing and a wonderful escape. Every employee was delightful, and the entire experience was fantastic! Wesley and the entire front gate crew sang Happy Birthday to my daughter, it was insanely special! The waits are long for favorite attractions, but being allowed to bring in food and drink helps pass the time...I saw several families picnic in line-so smart! Sometimes, I reflected that the lines were a good thing as I saw families and groups of friends talking to each other and playing games. I rarely saw anyone on electronics. The train ride is a must, Ranger Ruby and Edwin III are hysterical! Make time for the steam engine ride. The magic show with Nick is superb...like Vegas quality GOOD!! I wish we had attended it more than 1x. You will laugh, gasp and wonder for sure! The food is reasonably priced and the souvenirs aren't unreasonable. I appreciate this so much as it shows enjoyment over greed. It's fun how some rides came from bigger theme parks. I recognized 1 from Six Flags as I grew up 2 miles from Six Flags Over Texas. We attended on Grandparents Weekend and Saturday was packed, Sunday was 2/3 less full. I appreciate the free Grandparents ticket...again...enjoyment over greed. I'm looking forward to our next Silverwood adventure. It's worth the 8+ hour drive, in my opinion. Oh, and if you like to RV, the RV Park looked fantastic!
Thank you, Silverwood, for being a holdout for American values and family traditions. I appreciate the memories. Cheers!

This park ROCKS!! I first visited Silverwood in late August this year. The park is clean and filled will life. Coasters everywhere you walk. It's a bit weird getting to them though. The park has a t intersection as you enter, with a massive field in front of you. To the left is the coasters and to the right is their waterpark. I didn't do the waterpark, not my thing. But all the non kiddie coasters are good or great. My favorites being Tremors, Aftershock and Stuntpilot. Timber Terror and Corkscrew were decent but not mind blowing. Employees were friendly, but operations were pretty slow. Luckily it was a cool sixty degrees when I visited so I very much enjoyed both days I visited. Its a great park in the Pacific northwest, and I bet it's the best considering the lack of competition in Seattle.
I stayed at their Airbnb cottage with my baby & small dog, it was PERFECT and the hosts are so sweet. The alpacas/wildlife are great but if you’re looking for a getaway I would definitely check out their Airbnb 🙂
The cottage was warm & cozy with all of the things you would find in a well stocked hotel room plus a full kitchen and laundry. You’re in the mountains so it’s quiet and secluded as well. Treat yourself if you get the chance!

Lakefront state park boasts hiking/skiing trails, water sports, disc golf, picnic areas & campsites.
Gorgeous, Breathtaking, Ever lasting Memories of Nature, Farragut Park is absolutely an amazing experience. The trails are awesome, durung the summer time you can swim in a few spots in the lake. The sights are something to stare at for hours. It's truly an awesome park.
I do wish some trails where a bit more maintenance and some under brush cleared a bit better possibly bring a 4 wheeler with a chipper attached, 4 man crew with chainsaws, could use the fallen logs for mulching. Just my opinion.

My wife and I love this place. It is become our regular go to place for outdoor activities camping bike riding and hiking. There’s miles and miles and miles of trails and let’s not forget frisbee golf. Campsites are nice and spread apart people are friendly. Great RC flying field.
Unfortunately Idaho state parks doubled their costs for out of state residence which makes a Farragut State Park and all other Idaho parks unaffordable. Yearly vehicle pass is now $80 and a one night stay is $74.
We will continue to go on daily basis but probably not to camp anymore. If you’re an Idaho resident I highly recommend this place. And if you want to get out for a day of hiking and biking there isn’t a better place around.

Farragut State Park is a great place to go for camping or hiking. Lots of trails with views of the lake. The day use area had large covered picnic areas with horse shoe pits and volley ball nets nearby. Lots of room for many people to gather together. There were swings for younger kids to play on too. Camping cabins were also real close to the day use area. The cabins appeared to be fairly new and well maintained. A note on the cabin said that the cabins has been cleaned after each use. Each cabin had its own fire pit and picnic table. The cabins also had electric lights and an air conditioner. No bathroom inside the cabin, but a bathroom facility was a short walk from the cabins. The only issue would be if someone had to get up during the night it would be a little walk in the dark. There were close trails near the day use area that were well maintained. Very beautiful spot.

What can I say, I love to visit the state parks. I almost always stop in the visitor center to see what's new and chat with the clerks. In the spring I look forward to hearing and watching the birds, ground squirrels and other critters. Walking the various trails, the people have been generally friendly. Of course, gotta stop and check out the wild flowers.

Went to play Disc golf at Farragut and ended up camping. The courses ranged from easy to hard and were a blast to play. The park was clean and we didn't have any issues with getting a spot or camping.
Thomas Pham — Google review
I came to play the 5 disc golf courses and was not disappointed. There are a huge number of camping spaces including lots of full hookup RV sites, but we opted to stay in a camping camp that had heat and AC. Park has tons of lake frontage, trails, etc.
All in all an outstanding park with lots of space and lots of amenities.

Beautiful property and quiet, shaded, cared for campground. Stayed in Whitetail and were able to come without a reservation. Campground bathrooms were super clean. Easy access to potable water. Unfortunately, there were a lot of bees at our site. Minimal other bugs, though.

I spent one night in a camping cabin in the winter. I thought paying $69 plus a reservation fee was quite expensive considering there are no winter services in the campground, you have to hike your stuff in to the cabin, and you have to clean it yourself. That being said the cabin was nice and it was a great experience.
When I checked in the ranger was very unhelpful. I had gone to ski but there was no snow so I asked about hiking in the park. She told me any hiking is good, and didn't point me to any specific trails. She really didn't want to interact with me. I couldn't find any maps in the park, and didn't have internet so I drove around aimlessly for a while then decided to leave. Being a ranger seems like such a cool job, don't know why this ranger didn't want to help me enjoy the park.

While the park itself is lovely, they have some of the most rude and disrespectful people working for them. The young lady at check in was particularly disrespectful and it seems typical of the people I have met there. The last time I went to the park was about 15 years ago and they were equally terrible then. I figured maybe they had changed but I was wrong.

We arrived at this park a little after 10 pm we had booked on line, didn’t see anything telling me to check in at the front office the park is extremely large.
When we were checking out the ranger ask who we were and if we had checked in, I stated I did, I did think I had to since I book & paid on line.
He said even though we were checking out, we had to check in or we would get a ticket.
I was disappointed he made us (used his position of authority) to go check in even though he took all our information saw that we were leaving.
We find the front office which isn’t located in any of the camps site it’s its own section.
With the shortage of workers in this country this park has plenty of employees to enforce rules that make no significant, when he already had written our information down visually saw and verbally spoke with us.
I check in only to be told to have a great day see you soon, that took an extra 1/2 hour because of parking and waiting in line to report I was checking in and out at the same time.
The park itself is big and nice, the toilets are at moments they do stink, they offer full hook-ups as well as tent sites. We chose not to use the toilets instead use our portable one the bathrooms were hit & miss.
I guess when you allocate more money hiring people to signing in people then checking bathrooms you end up with unclean bathrooms.
The lake is kind of hard to find I would say drive to it or ride your bike, lots of trails, the lake is absolutely beautiful.
The park is very clean and quite and well maintained.

I love Farragut State Park. There's so many trails and the water is beautiful. The mountains were very majestic looking with the different colors of green permanting in the sun.

The park itself is nice. Campspots are not close to the lake but are good in size and provide some privacy. Great, groomed hiking trails. As other reviewers stated, staff is not welcoming. The individual checking us was unfriendly; almost flippant. Two of us drove to the S. Entrance with our scooters. The entry fee is per vehicle, so we decided to park one. The park would not allow us to park at the entrance. As we drove back to Bayview, a parking enforcement truck came out of nowhere. The park boundaries are deceiving because the entry gates are inside the park. Luckily for us, we had seen the signs and parked in town where parking was hassle free.

Wow, so beautiful ❤️. The water of Lake Pend Oreille - pronounced "pond da ray", was so refreshing and crystal clear. We went swimming at Idlewild Bay. There is a "store", Cast, Blast, & Relax"- Food & snacks and they rent: bicycles, kayaks, paddle boards, & fishing gear! on the path down to the lake, before you get to the water. There are flush toilets and nice showers there, too. Plenty of parking. The park itself has a lot to offer: Gift shop, Disc Golf, Tree to Tree Adventure Park, Camping, Boat Launch for watercraft, horse trails, llama trails, hiking trails, mtn bicycle trails, Shooting range, museum at the Brig Jr. Ranger Station, Equestrian Campground, Model Aircraft Field(Insurance required), fishing, picnic sites, group camping, dump station. Winter Recreation :snow shoeing, Cross Country Skiing, fat tire biking. When you first check in to the campground office, there is a very informative visitor center, very interesting. Worth your time to check it out.
Silver Streak Zipline Tours offers an amazing and entertaining experience for visitors. The staff, including Chris and Ethan, are highly praised for making guests feel comfortable, safe, and entertained throughout the tour. The photographer captures great moments, and the Big Daddy zip line is recommended for an extra thrill. Visitors also appreciate the free water bottle and the option to purchase memorable souvenirs like shirts and stickers. Overall, it's described as a wonderful family-run business that provides a great experience for all ages.
Absolutely fantastic experience! My girlfriend and I had the opportunity to be the first guests of this season, the whole crew at Silver Streak made it such a memorable event! Great views and lots of laughs. 100% will be returning on our next trip. #STARFISH!!

Had a large family group staying in Kellogg. We rode the Hiawatha, played at Coure d'Alene, and had the opportunity to have a "Girls Night." We decided that a "Girls Morning" would be better, and we did the West Course Zip line. It was awesome! Our guides were friendly and very safety conscious. We zipped through spectacular scenery and had a wonderful time. The guys were jealous! Would definitely recommend!

I can’t say enough great things about the guys here! All were 100% professional and safety-conscious, but also relaxed. The perfect combo for first-time zippers! We were completely blown away by the entire crew and experience and will be back again every year!! Unbelievable experience due to the crew here, 100/10 would recommend! I was speechless in the best way!

This place was so much fun! Everyone was happy and friendly. Each run, they were very thorough with checking the safety equipment and also giving verbal instructions. One instructor always goes first so he is waiting for you, the other stays to help you. There were only a couple little uphill treks, they drove you in a buggy otherwise which was nice. I had a great time and so did my boyfriend who'd never done it.
Bonus part: the town is so quaint and small with good food and an antique shop.

Absolutely PHENOMENAL experience zipping in Wallace! The professionalism and kindness of our expedition leaders (Colton and Ethan), made this a lifetime memory for my daughter and I. We faced fears, we laughed, we zipped, and we found a lifelong moment to enjoy life and one another on this excursion. Lines are FAST, fun, safe with gorgeous views! Colton and Ethan were supportive, confident, and refreshingly respectful of each individual zipper, meeting each person where they were comfortable. Worth the money and the time; we will DEFINITELY be back with this company. Big Daddy is CRAZY AWESOME!! Thanks for a great time!!

We went this last week with my wife, Brother-in-law, and their aunt. it was amazing. Chris and the other young guy was amazing!!! The photographer took great pictures. they mad us all very comfortable, were entertaining and funny, and very safe. I would love to go back and would definitely recommend them. and do not cheap out.. pay the extra for the Big Daddy it is their last longest zip line, also get the pictures they are worth it!!! Did i mention they give you a free water bottle. my wife and i bought 2 shirts and a half dozen stickers. I recommended they order patches ;)

Sierra Silver Mine Tour, Inc. offers a guided exploration of an underground silver mine that is both informative and interesting for all ages. Tickets are purchased at the station where visitors can also mine for minerals and enjoy ice cream before taking a trolley tour of the town to reach the mine entrance. The guide provides extensive knowledge about the mining process and allows visitors to operate some equipment while exploring the flat interior of the cave.
My wife and I took this tour the second day it was open this year and were the only two in our time slot. Very friendly staff and the guide who led the trolly ride to and from the mine provided a very entertaining and informative history of Wallace.
Fast Freddy (awesome!) met us at the mine and guided us into the mountain. A former silver miner for decades, he provided a fascinating and insightful tour filled with details that only someone with his years of experience could.
We’ve been through several mines, and this was the first to actually demonstrate working mining equipment…that really made the history come to life.
Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone with even a casual interest in mining or the history of the West.
Bill Mason — Google review
My wife and I truly enjoyed our time in Wallace! We especially enjoyed the silver mine tour! Our driver was spectacular and the miner who took us into the mine was born to mine! He is a great man and an excellent fit as a guide!
We thank you all!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Took my 11 year old and 8 year old to do the mine tour. We bought our tickets at the station and mined for minerals inside the store. We also got ice cream inside the store. Then the adorable trolley came and picked us up and gave us a little tour of the town and took us to the mine. My boys thought the mine was really interesting. Our tour guide was very informative. He let the boys turn on some of the equipment. I had never been inside a mine before and I thought it was very neat. Very accessible too. There are about 25 steps to the mine entrance and the inside of the cave is flat. We drove over and did the Pulaski trail afterwards. Such a fun day!

My husband and I came here for the tour and we really enjoyed every minute of it. From the trolley ride downtown Wallace up to the mine. It was a great time. Marty are tour guide in the mine was wonderful and such a nice person. I would recommend however, if you're sensitive to noise, bring some ear plugs for when they demonstrate some of the equipment. It's extremely loud and if you're sensitive to noise, it may be a problem for you. Also, if you're afraid of the dark, please be prepared that there is going to be a portion where they're demonstrating the darkness of the cave. This may scare young children in particular. I highly recommend this place in this tour. It's worth the very small amount you pay and you'll learn a lot.

First-hand narration by a tour guide recounting his silver mining work experience leads to a memorable, informative experience walking through a silver mine, with additional narration on the ride to and from the mine tunnel on a trolley where you can learn about the interesting city of Wallace, Idaho.

Tours run often enough there is little wait. A lot of interesting stuff at the store/tour depot! Trolley ride was fun & informative. Mine tour was great! Lee was good clean fun, full of knowledge & experience. He gave 2 book suggestions that I made note of & plan to check out. Fabulous way to spend a little over an hour!
Lynette Straley — Google review
We had a great time. The tour was very interesting and Lee, our guide, was patient and answered all of our questions. My one suggestion is, tell people who bring their dogs that the machinery is VERY loud, not a little loud, and there is a vibration that will startle them. It was a great experience. I would also suggest, if you head back to the west, out of Wallace, do stop at the memorial for the Sunshine Mining disaster. Is is impressive.
Randee Jean Bybee — Google review
We love this tour! The tour guide had so much to share and turned several of the machines on. (If you have small kids or those sensitive to noise bring earmuffs) It is amazing that men go down and work underground every day for products that we never know we use. Our guide was a 4th generation miner! Will go back and do this again when our little kids can remember but our big kid loved the tour!

Lenny was funny and informative. The trolley 🚎 driver was very good. Short ride to the mine, if it's hot outside you don't really need a jacket. Wear sturdy shoes, there's various small areas of standing water.
And then a small tour of the town. I would recommend, but not highly recommend.

The tour of the mine which was wonderful and the guide a former miner Fast Freddie was very knowledgeable, engaging, and entertaining was outstanding. I would give this place 5 stars however, the driver for the tour was indifferent to the female military members on the tour. He started out asking were there any military or vets on board. Those that were, raised their hands including myself and a fellow female military vet. He acknowledged the male vets by speaking to them directly but never acknowledged the female vets. It was evident he focused on the male vets by engaging them during the drive to the mine and back. If you are going to ask the question be courteous enough to acknowledge all members of the military or do not ask the question in the first place. The driver mentioned Wyatt Earp during his talk. As we were dropped off, I tried to engage with the driver to let him know that my ancestrial family had ties with Wyatt Earp he basically brushed me off. My friend had the same feeling during the drive. I then left and now my review speaks for itself. Without saying the word sexist I think I am getting my point across.
Florence Trevino — Google review
One of our favorite stops on our trip! Well worth going!! All the tour guides are retired miners, who really know what they're talking about. Our kids loved (Lenny) our guide's humor! We were also very impressed with the trolley driver and the lady who checked us in at the beginning of the tour! She really helped us out!

This is so worth it! Lee was our tour guide, what an amazing man, full of knowledge.

This was one of the coolest tours! I had no expectations really, but it was absolutely fascinating! The tour guides were personable, knowledgeable and we felt so comfortable. We learned a lot and my son even got to use some of the machinery underground. He was thrilled! It’s cold, so bring a sweatshirt. But even if you don’t have one, they will lend you one. We can’t wait to go back again.

Loved this tour, great way to learn about the town. Dog friendly & they were very sweet with my senior pup. Tours offered every 30 mins. Pro tip: stop in at the 6th & Cedar before / after your tour which is also dog friendly! Street parking.
Sometimes I feel like I'm in this shop more than I am my own house. It's my pre-designated rest area on my drive from Seattle to Montana. The top off my gas tank I go inside and grab some snacks and I often find some souvenirs to give to friends. And yes the Huckleberry milkshakes are amazing but there's so much more to the shop. Clean restrooms food options for there or to go.

Loved it, as always! The gift shop is full of awesome things. I found this one sign that had me cracking up laughing. We also stopped at the food place their and I got chicken strips. Four GINORMOUS chicken strips with a bunch of fries. Needless to say, I got a to go box. It was amazing, and the chocolate shake I got was delicious as well. My mom said the lobster bisque, which was the special, was very good as well.

Coolest all in one gift shop I’ve seen in Montana! Did not try the best shake ever this time but plan on stopping next drive through! Lots of souvenirs and gifts for everyone. The trout aquarium is awesome to get an up close look and the 360 aquarium is so fun for the kids!

It is hard to drive past the travel center as they have posted dozens of billboards along the way, letting you know that it's 50 miles, 40 miles, 10 miles, etc. So with the advertising pulling me in, I stopped here. I was able to resist the siren call of the huckleberry shakes.
Lots of interesting shopping with many local mementoes and hand-made art for sale. Thankfully, the restrooms were clean and the wifi worked okay for a bit. I didn't manage to find anywhere to plug in and charge my phone but that wasn't the reason I stopped.

Great place to stop when your on the road. Wide variety of items in gift shop and convenience store. Haven’t eaten there or had a shake. Staff always very friendly and make sure everyone is taken care of. Very busy in the summer months, gets a little hectic around there, but it’s a great positive atmosphere. Seems like I always run in to someone I know.

Best gas station stop ever. I was here 2 weeks ago and had to stop by again. Literally the best huckleberry shake I have had. Plenty of real berries, not just flavoring. Well worth the stop

Listen, the bottom line is Hucks Grill isn't worth the money. The shake tastes adequate, so does the signature burger, but they are absolutely not worth what they charge you. Until they drop their prices I won't be returning.

WOW Daughter suggested we stop on our way to Washington. Said they make the best Huckleberrie milkshakes. Signs along highway also reminding me of that. The pumps were very busy and lots of people walking around outside. Friday around 1 on a long weekend. Saw the spot to order the takeout orders and walked up and was served right away. Friendly service and fast. Ordered a huckleberry milkshake. Lots of berrys and topped off with whip cream. The hamburger was cooked just right with a huckleberry sauce on top of the cheese along with the greenest lettuce. Two slices of perfect tomatoes. Topped off with two slices of tasty pickles. The fries were hot and fried just right. The hot dawg was grilled and was a treat for daughters dog kids. As I was waiting they gave me a round circle that lights up and vibrates when order is ready. Went to washroom and walked around the shopping area. Lots of really neat things. Fudge, more ice cream and gifts. Clothes and funky slippers. Pretty soon the circle was vibrating and went to the pickup window. They prepared milkshake right away. Heaven awaits u first pull from straw. Got out too vehicle and desided to leave heading west about a mile turned off of highway to a spot beside river. Only a truck with two people parked. Daughter got out and took her yorkies for a cool down at river and a potty break. There is a doggy park across street from Travel Centre but with the little male and teacup yorkie desided to save the other dogs from all the noise. Really good idea. The travel centre was very clean and had lots of staff to help with your purchases. The next time driving by will be a definite stop. Deserves more stars to make up for the ones that gave hardly any stars.

This has been one of the best rafting trips we've ever taken. We did the Whitewater with Wine option, which was a 4 to 5 hour experience. Our guide, Holli, was spectacular - a fantastic navigator who maximized the fun while keeping us safe and entertained. The rapids were thrilling, the views incredible, and the lunch (and later, the wine) really were spot on. We'd do this trip again in a heartbeat!

Absolutely incredible time! We had our wedding in superior Montana.

We had a great 2 days on the river with Montana River Guides. Mike, Caleb, Amy and Squid were amazing guides for our Rafting and River Boarding trips. They are not only professional and focus on safety, but are insanely fun people too.
And if you have done White Water Rafting and want to take your adventure to the next level, River Boarding is amazingly fun, and these guys will get you down the river in ways you've never imagined.
Go to Montana and meet this team, they rock!

My family and I had an epic time rafting the Clark Fork river with Montana River Guides today. Our guide Caleb (pictured below) made sure we had a fun and memorable time blasting through gnarly rapids, relaxing on the lazy flats, and cliff-jumping into the river. The scenery is second to none and there a lot of eagles and ospreys flying around.
The lunch provided was delish (except for the rasberry-lime sparkling water—yuck). Lunch consisted of a bacon and turkey wrap, chips, a drink, and a cookie.
This was also a great trip for older children and adults. If you’re ever in Missoula during rafting season, book a trip with Montana River Guides.

We have taken many rafting trips over the years and hands down this was one of the best ones yet!!! We took a private full day rafting tour with river side picnic and couldn’t have had a better time!! Our guide set up the best lunch spread at the waterside including fresh fruit and veggie trays, salad, sandwiches, chips/salsa, and the best homemade cookies!!! We had many stops, chances to swim, small cliff jumping, and the most beautiful scenery!!! Shout out to Amy as being the most fun guide to our crazy “Billy Goat Cyrus” group from Texas!!! Request her and you won’t be disappointed!!!

Amazing guides, super fun times on the river, highly recommend!!
We just spent 2 days on the river with Montana River Guides & we couldn’t be happier about our experience!
Day 1 did a rafting trip down the river. Aimee & Quaid were the most fun & friendly guides for our adventure, filling the trip with excitement, guidance & plenty of jokes!
Day 2 we went for some river boarding! What a fun & immersive way to experience the river! This was a completely new experience for most of us and with Mike & Caleb as our guides we were in the best hands. They lead us safely through & did such a great job explaining how the river flows and what to watch for. We had a blast going head first through all the rapids & gliding along!
Can’t say enough good things about the 2 days & our guides! Can’t wait to come back & hit the river with them again!

All my summer visitors get a rafting trip on the Gorge with Montana River Guides, and they all say it was the highlight of their visit. In 15 years, I've never had a bad trip!
What impresses me most are the awesome people skills of the guides: they can manage a raft with young kids, a grandmother, and Eastern 'dudes' (the ones who don't want to keep their feet tucked), and turn us into a high-oars team before we hit the first rapids (we were the "Ice Cream Eagles"). I'm already recruiting unsuspecting family for next summer.

Top on my list of the other incredible things we did this summer.

My girls and I had an amazing time on a full day float with our guide Lane. Lots to see between rapids and Lane was on top of it all. The lunch stop is perfectly timed and make sure you take a dip in Fish Creek to cool off. Overall, the best company to go with rafting with. TJ and the rest of the guides were really helpful as we got suited up. You can’t go wrong with Montana River Guides! (Photo by Montana River Photography)

Down-to-earth hotel featuring a spa & hot springs pools, plus a restaurant & an espresso bar.
Old basic hotel in a hippy town. If you like places out of the past, then you will love this. Picture a hotel room out of the old western TV shows. People are great. Inside tubs and 4 pools outside, one a large warm swimming pool. Live Music on weekends sometimes with dancing. Food service varies but there is usually soup available in small lobby where you will share a table or newspaper in your bathing suit or bathrobe. Love it or not, you will be in the center of times past.

I made a reservation a month in advance, when my party arrived they said I had cancelled my reservation and had no vacancy. I explained I didn’t cancel it and if I did why did I drive 2 hours to check in. They use index cards for their registrations and apparently didn’t verify any information before cancelling the reservation. They didn’t apologize or offer compensation. I have been going there every year for 29+ years. I will not return. The place is more run down and over crowed. We like to give to the small town of hot springs unfortunately we won’t any longer.
Bren E — Google review
I so wish I could give this place a better review, but want others to know about staying here.
I had a good experience making reservations. I did read the reviews and wasn't scared by the ones complaining about the smell (mineral hot springs sometimes smell like rotten eggs), or even the age of the facilities. I'm a Montanan and am no stranger to older lodging and less modern amenities.
We were a little put off by the fact it is smack dab in the middle of town. We were further dismayed by the actual appliance junkyard we had to drive by to get to our cabin.
The cabin was what we expected.
The first night we tried to go to the pools and they were full. It seemed like the people were mostly in one party and there wasn't a comfortable place in either if the hot pools to sit. I was a little annoyed that I wasn't told there was such a big group when I made reservations.
We decided to make the best of it and stayed in and played games. The town of Hot Springs is mostly full of good people. I mentioned the full pools to some people in town and most of them said the people were probably employees and their friends.
We did go soak after coffee. It was fine except some regular soakers were a bit... odd....and continued to try and engage us in conversations that weren't appropriate or comfortable.
We went to soak again at night. There were a few people who were employees. One of them kept yelling to another one to let his dog out of his van. Several loose dogs were running around the outside of the pool enclosure while their people tried to manage them from the pools. Not exactly relaxing.
We also love dogs and brought ours but walked them away from the pools just like the sign said...
One of the reviews mentioned it being creepy and having many creepy people around and I have to agree. I've traveled all over alone - nearly every large city in the country- and I would never come here as a solo female traveler. It's possible that the owners only want locals. And they must because as full-price paying customers, we were not acknowledged, and hospitality is not even a word that's known here.
I suggest waiting and paying more at Quinn's or Chico or Fairmont. That's certainly what we will do.

The best natural hot spring water. We’ve been enjoying the healing water for over 3 years and it’s a pleasant soak every time we visit. There are optional private tubs inside the hotel when outdoor pools are busy.

I believe this is my first time giving 1 Star! Eeesh, so this was an experience to say the least. And no I am not uppity or was expecting a spa like experience or anything. I was expecting clean, and didn’t get that.
I guess this place has been around forever and is sort of a local institution. I’m not sure what kind of codes a hotel / hot springs has to pass when it’s a commercial place like this but I cannot imagine it passes.
First off, when you walk into the hotel lobby it’s filthy and people are traipsing through with bare feet, dripping bathing suits, and some just sitting in the lobby like that. The only way to and from the pools is through the lobby to the outside. So the salt and grime is getting tracked in too.
Then you proceed into the changing area and walk along sopping wet carpet that was probably laid when the place was built. There’s several stalls with grimy bathtubs and rusty pipes. This is where you can bathe or rinse off after the outdoor pools. Proceed along and you’ll find change rooms that have one bathroom stall and one shower stall to service the many people waiting around. The place doesn’t look like it gets cleaned more than once a day if that. It’s crowded and there’s no limit to how many people can pack in anywhere.
Make your way back out to the lobby to the pools across the parking lot and they are filthy. Don’t sit near an intake filter or you’ll just spend your time watching hair and scrum flow in and out of the pool. The top pool is the hottest and cleanest but even that was not clean, and it’s very small. The source pool is across the grass and mud to a hut and it’s the hottest of course but the size of a bathtub.
It probably didn’t help that a few days earlier we’d been at a very clean and well arranged hotel / hot spring so in comparison this was pretty atrocious. But seriously it’s been 2 months and we still talk about it!
Oh well, we enjoyed a good laugh with friends and will never forget the experience!

My family and I come here on a weekly basis. We luv the private baths and jacuzzi room. All though no fault of their own, other guests children should be taught that it's for relaxing. 🤗

We just went to soak but the staff was great, the water hot. There are 3 pools each cooler than the last. Kid and pet friendly. They also have private claw foot tubs to soak in as well.

Phenomenal experience once again and I have been going to the Symes through out the years and I shall never tire of the trip to get there. The moment I drive in to the parking lot I am already unwinding. As usual I'm always find something new about the Symes and it's historical past.

We only live about an hour away, but still love to come here to get away. It's a bit more rustic and vintage than most, but we like it. Some of the cabins aren't as upgraded, but if you like the old original vintage that's great. Plus they are more private. The apartments are great, roomy, full kitchens as well, and they have a front porch area. We've stayed with and without kids, in rooms and in cabins, it's very accommodating. There is a diner in the hotel, or you can walk downtown. Our next stay will be in one of the bigger cabins with the family. If you go onto their website they have a list of rooms and cabins with specific features and prices on each. They really are all very different. The staff is very helpful and friendly.

My family and I went to do a last minute soaked normally the pools are ok….. the pools were completely packed with a lot of kids which I normally don’t care but they were being loud and splashing. Not very relaxing and the pools were not HOT! After looking in the water I realized they were not very clean. And a lot of stuff floating in the water. We were there for about 15 minutes and left. With all the money they make I don’t know why they try to make the place better. They can do better this place isn’t the same place it was 5 years ago and it’s sad. One of my favorite places isn’t my favorite any more
The rooms are completely out of date and dirty and falling apart. The beds and couches were from the 80s and just plain dirty. I felt like I would get bed bugs there. (No I didn’t ) the pools are nice but for the amount we paid it should be better rooms. I will never stay there again. There is way better places in town for the same price if not cheaper. Go visit the pools, stay somewhere else.

Pools are great,people are friendly and the bed was comfortable. Hotel is as described, straight out of the 40s, as is the town. Rooms are dated but clean. Couple of heads up, no Verizon wireless service in town, just At&t. Also Wi-Fi is available but you have to go to the main lobby to get it. There is a lounge with comfy chairs and fireplace so not a big issue. Will be back

Good: Great location, close to downtown food & drinks, room was spacious & clean, and the awesome bed/ mattress. Large LED TV with Dish service... fridge & microwave
Bad: lots of people crouded into a small soaking tub with kids spashing around, not a place to just relax... tub in the room didn't have enough hot water available to use either...
Reservation was confirmed but wrong at chek-in... for the price, we'll look at other options next time...

Definitely a A-OK stay. Free coffee and TV, dogs could be let in the hotel lobby. Water was very relaxing. The downside to the hot springs was the lower tub was turning green by the half hour. Food was delicious too!

Old building. The hotel room had a bathroom and bathtub. Bathtub still had a wet towel in it when we checked in. Wifi is super spotty. ALL the water smells and tastes like egg water. The so-called hot spring at this place is nothing more than a glorified hot tub. Would not recommend.

What a fun experience! The water was HOT and my skin felt so smooth afterward! We didn’t do the private soaking tub but I took a pic! Would be a cool experience.
Hanna Harrison — Google review
Upon first arriving my mom and I joked about it being a hostel murder movie scene. It didn’t get much better when walking into the building. The hallways aren’t well lit. The walls need fixed. The local addicts hang out in the mineral pool from the second they open till the second they close. The hot pool is always packed and it didn’t seem any of the water was really filtered. There were small rocks thrown in the big pool and leaves and sediment floating in the water. I understand it is a historical building and is very old but it doesn’t seem like it could possibly be up to code. The town of hot springs itself is a very beautiful town though. Lots of great scenery and wildlife throughout. If I ever come back to the Hot Springs area I will find different sleeping accommodations.

No parking for guests staying at the hotel, we had to park on the street. Check-in was horrible. The woman at the desk did not provide us with any directions to our room, pool hours, and no information whatsoever concerning our stay. When asked where to find our room she gave simple directions with a rather curt attitude. When asked about what time the kids in the pool usually clear out she was rude and said when it closes. I had to ask for my key when she didn't remember who we were upon check-in after 10 minutes of waiting for our room to be cleaned. She was friendly to family guests versus those who are kidless which is rather biased and we were there for a romantic evening. Will not be staying here again nor coming to use the pools again.

Went with 7 girls for a bachelorette trip on a Friday- Sunday. Started with losing a reservation, but they had a way to accommodate us. Checked in and found out there wasn’t any hot water in the apartment, which was fine with us as we had a cabin for Friday night that had hot water. The pools were way over crowded and not the clean blue water that you see on their website so we didn’t get in. Saturday morning there was a massive water leak in the apartment coming through the ceiling into the living room. Couch and chair had to be removed and a shampooer was needed to remove the water off the floor. We were planning to stick it out until they moved us from cabin 5 to “R2”. Let’s just say that it was so bad that we were thinking we would just sleep in the car. Owner was VERY rude and told us we need to understand that it’s an old hotel. Apparently general cleanliness doesn’t come with old hotels. We got on air bnb and found a house with much better accommodations for the same price we paid for the 1 night at Symes.

Cabin was absolutely disgusting!!! Had a junk yard to drive through just to get to our "private newly renovated cabin." Once we got to our cabin i walked through and immediately found; food left in microwave, oven never cleaned, dust bunny colony under bed, soap and other substances dripping from shower windowsill, this is just to start. People soliciting for drugs in tubs and around the property, man claiming to be the attendants husband lingering and rude in the lobby. Restaurant food was burnt and dry. People drunk and fighting around the premises. I can't describe how gross this place is and they were excited for the "newly renovated cabin" we were in so we shouldn't "have any issues." (I had picture proof and nothing was done about it!!!)
We won't be back and highly recommend shutting down and cleaning this place up in sooo many ways!!!
Megan Williams — Google review
Our experience at Symes was not so great. We booked this trip in advance for a bachelorette party. We woke up Saturday morning to a huge leak in the ceiling . The response we got from the owner was “you have to understand this is an old hotel”. Although they cleaned it up, they could have compensated us for what we woke up to. Completely ruining our morning. Please do not stay here. Not worth the money.

It was my first time visiting Symes and will come back again. The Hotel is very dated with lots of historical touches. Don't go expecting luxury but instead a trip back in time. It feels a bit like you're in an old western movie. The place is about as clean as it can be for the age and lack of upgrades. However it's very charming and once you acclimate to your surroundings you get into the groove. The pools are nice and hot. The pools can vary in the number of guests who are soaking at any one time. We never felt like it was too crowded. The town of Hotsprings is also historic and has some fun gems to discover. It's worth walking around to explore. It's a poor community and it shows but go there with an open mind and you will enjoy it much better.

If I could give a zero strar I would. Very dirty pools they clean pools once a week. Very overcrowded. All of my family smelt like a condom after soaking will NEVER go here again.
The Bison Range Wildlife Refuge is a vast native prairie land that serves as a sanctuary for various wildlife species in Montana. Visitors can enjoy viewing bison, elk, pronghorn, deer, and mountain sheep up close through the 19-mile long Red Sleep Mountain Drive loop road. A visitor center and several trails are also available for exploration. Non-tribal members are required to pay an admission fee of around $15-20 per car to drive around the area.
Unbelievably cool place to go to see bison and just about every other species of wildlife Montana has to offer. I would definitely talk to the people of the visitor sent her first to see which direction you should take first because the park is fairly large. Highly recommended!

Visiting the National Bison Range was an unforgettable experience. The sprawling landscapes and the majestic sight of bison roaming freely were awe-inspiring. The well-maintained facilities and informative visitor center provided great insights into the history and ecology of the area. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable, enhancing our visit with fascinating stories and facts. The opportunity for wildlife photography was exceptional, with not just bison but also deer, elk, and various bird species. This visit was educational, serene, and visually stunning, a must-see for nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts.

We are full time RV travelers and met our good friends in Thompson Falls. They took us to the Bison Range. It is well worth the hour and half drive through the range. You can stop and just view the bison and elk roaming free. Majestic animals are best when they are free. We saw Elk, Bison, a deer with a little doe. and Antelope in the distance. The employees are very nice and will answer any questions you have.

This was one of the best places to go on our Montana trip! Breathtaking views, and it was so nice to see the bison herds! The museum was very informative, as I am a tourist and had no idea about the history of the area. I am very happy to see that the local tribes have taken over management of this land and the bison herds. Staff at the visitor were helpful and nice.

Enjoyed a leisurely drive on the longer of the two loops through the Bison Range, beginning about 1:30pm. $20/car. Just a few sightings on the first half, but a few gatherings of bison towards the end of the almost 2-hour drive. No getting out of the car. First section was a one-way road, then it was divided, though no visible markers. Just the kind staff gentleman who was making rounds backed up to inform us.
A pleasant way to see the bison. Saw a few deer as well, but no elk on our afternoon trek.
Highly recommend if you’ve never seen these beautiful creatures outside a zoo.

The Bison Range is such a good place to go when you’re looking for wild life and if enjoy slow steady rides in the out doors. Many bison, antelope, elk, and eagles. Non tribal members pay a fee to drive around, usually $15-20 a car. Worth the money.

Stunning views of Montana as you drive through a preserve and see herds of bison and deer. Strongly suggest taking the high road as the views are spectacular.

1) If you're really afraid of heights it might not be for you . It's a steep (at times) ride up a mountain 2) you'll definitely need a car wash afterwards. 3) it's a gravel road, so if you're picky about your car......4) It's INCREDIBLE! WORTH my fear of heights and we saw plenty of bison and an elk. Do it!

what an excellent place to go, this place is very well-maintained. The price was very reasonable, and just $10 per car. We had a great time we took the hour long drive, and we were able to see Buffalo, some elk, and pronghorn antelope. It was really cool just to see them pop up out of nowhere. The terrain is beautiful and it is well worth the time and effort it took to find this place. You will not regret driving out here, it is just a real special place.

Stop at the visitor center for $10 admission, and spend some time with the exhibits. Important history lessons. On the drive are gorgeous views! Saw snakes, birds, bison, elk, deer, and antelope. SO worth the 2 hour drive for us to get there. Take the long loop - you won't regret it!

The first time I went was in fall and the Elk were bugling, which was awesome to see/hear. Both times I've been back, the bison have been pretty close. I've also seen antelope and deer, but have missed the big horn sheep. Love that this place belongs to CSKT now.

Roads were not fully open because it is early in the season so I was a bit disappointed by that. But the place is beautiful, the Tribes have done good with it. Lots of nice picnic areas! A few short nature trails with lots of benches to sit on.

The views are amazing! We got lucky and saw some bison upclose but most were far away. Make note that the loop takes about 2 hours so give yourself plenty of time. Definitely one of our favorite things we did in wy and mt!
Wonderful day trip. Very easy walk. Nice gift store on site. No dogs allowed. It doesn't have a set price, but donations gratefully accepted for maintenance of this beautiful site.

A special place to visit for a moment of quiet reflection.
Accessibility info and site description: There are several disabled parking spots available, but no protected van-accessible parking. (Turn into the property through the gate, the main parking area and public restroom will be to the right, continue driving straight to find the disabled parking area). The walking path is gravel, about the width of a sidewalk, with grass on either side. Near the entrance, there's a few pieces of wood that intersect the trail, coming up off the ground several inches (see photos). The trail is wider along the outer circle, and narrows as you follow the statues toward the center. At the center statue, there is a brick path, but this area was roped off when I visited in March 2022 (unsure if this is temporary). Without access to the brick path, there is only a very narrow dirt trail around this inner circle. There is an additional public restroom on the far side of the property near the pond and gift shop. There are no benches along the trails, or anywhere that I could see. The distance from the disabled parking area to the entrance of the Dharma wheel is around 350 feet, and another 200 feet to the center statue. I would estimate the total distance around the wheel to be about a quarter mile. There is no fee to visit, but they do accept donations.
This is such a unique, interesting, and peaceful place and I have enjoyed my visits over the years! Just a heads up to fellow disabled visitors: the gravel path is really difficult to traverse in a wheelchair, there is no snow removal from the path so it may not be accessible until spring, and there are no benches.

Such a beautiful museum. A perfect space that represents Buddha in their eyes of peace and serenity outside. For people to gently learn with the scriptures that have been written on the rocks and understand the equivalent piece that has been portrayed here. Absolutely delightful

Beautiful stop! Staff was so friendly and respectful! Flowers were gorgeous and it was so incredible to look at all the statues and the gods they represent.

The Thousand Buddha Temple is an absolute gem! The tranquil ambiance and stunning architecture create an enchanting atmosphere that transports you to a world of serenity and spiritual beauty. The sight of countless intricately carved Buddha statues is awe-inspiring and leaves you feeling a sense of peace and reverence. Exploring the temple grounds and taking in the panoramic views is a truly unforgettable experience. A must-visit for anyone seeking a moment of tranquility and a deeper connection with history and spirituality.

Visited January 2nd. Very long drive from Whitefish. I do not know what I think of this place and cannot decide if the drive was worth it or not. The toilets - both at the entrance and diagonally across are HORRIBLE. Do not go there if you can help it.
The gardens themselves are extremely underwhelming. Is it because it is winter? But then again what happened to designing gardens for 4 seasons? Winter interest? But I appreciated the opportunity to learn about other faiths. For some reason, I hoped to see 1000 different Buddha statues. 10 pieces around the circle, it was clear the entire set is exactly the same... Again, I do not know how I feel. Maybe just don't go in the winter. Might try it again in a different season - may be.

A must see for anyone if you're heading to glacier national park or near the area. This beautiful and vast hidden gem is surrounded by the view of the mountains in every direction. It is so peaceful and special here. The statues, plaques, quotes lead to contemplation, appreciation, and a sense of connectedness. An insurmountable sense of appreciation is inevitable here.

Great stop if you're around the area, even in not so favorable weather. The grounds are so peaceful and clean. If it were nicer out the day I visited I'm sure I would have spent more time taking a more thoughtful walk rather than sort of hustling back to the warmth of my car. There are bathrooms available at the parking lot and a gift shop as well. No pets allowed on the grounds.

This was an amazingly beautiful and peaceful place in the Middle of Nowhere, Montana featuring so many beautiful works of art, a koi pond, prayer flag mound, and a gift shop featuring water, prayer flags, little statues of Buddha, etc all VERY reasonably priced. This place was outstanding and if i could go again someday i would in a heartbeat. Be sure to bring coins as offerings, no pebbles or food.
