Snap a picture (or a million)
Sun Valley is the perfect backdrop for your family pictures. With photo ops galore, from gorgeous wildflowers to charming small-town streets, you'll definitely want to make time to take a few pictures (if you can get the kids to stand still for long enough, that is!).

Make time to play
Playgrounds in Sun Valley aren't like playgrounds in other places. They're surrounded by one of the prettiest backdrops nature has to offer--which means that a simple playground can quickly become a huge adventure for your little ones.
Go ice skating

Take in the scenery
Whether it's a scenic drive or a day trip to a nature preserve, you'll want to slow down and take in the views. If you're worried your little ones may get a bit bored while the adults bask in nature's glory, try adding a little fun: point out the wildlife, stop at dramatic overlooks, and give the kids disposable cameras or their phones to document the journey themselves.
