Activities for Children and Teens
Across the road from the hotel there is a fun park, Boulder Creek Fun Park, where the kids can go to while away the time the parents are talking. They offer (2) 18 hole courses of mini golf, a driving range, batting cages, bankshot basketball, and an ice cream shoppe. I have talked to the owner and they are willing to give us a discount, what I need to know is what your kids would be interested in doing. She would like a count to see how many want to do what. This is a very safe area and it is fenced in on all sides.
All medications must be administered by the parent.
