Best Things to Do in Spokane With Kids

Savor the changing seasons on a trip to the Green Bluff Growers area. Located about 30 minutes north of downtown, you’ll find U-pick fruits like cherries and peaches that don’t grow in our wetter Western Washington climate.

We loved the tractor ride to the juicy peaches at Walter’s Fruit Ranch. Several farms, such as Beck’s Harvest House, up the ante in the fall with pumpkins, fresh doughnuts and corn mazes.

From late April through September, drive an hour east into Idaho to Silverwood Theme Park, the Northwest’s largest amusement park. You’ll find over 70 rides, plus a water park that’s included with admission. Most of the bigger rides have a 42-inch height minimum when riding with an adult. My just-barely-tall-enough preschooler loved zipping down his first big wooden coaster, while my 6-year-old preferred the super-soaker water rides.
