There are plenty of free or included activities including a dance party, story time, kid’s yoga and more. I bet our gradeschooler would have taken on some of the slides if she had a friend with her, and our preschooler might have spend more time shooting water guns at Fort Mackenzie if he’d had a friend along.

But if we had stayed a second night we probably would have looked for some nearby off-property food for a couple of meals. Most of the restaurants are reasonably priced. If you stay just one night, there’s probably not a need to bring food though. The rooms have mini refrigerators and microwaves so you can bring your own food and snacks.
