Your Basecamp for Family Fun

In Truckee, every season brings a new way to play. Spring offers sunny slopes and soft snow—perfect for little ones learning to ski. Summer means playground time under the pines, riverside picnics, and a ride on the mini steam train at Regional Park. Fall brings leaf piles, mellow hikes, and creative indoor fun at the KidZone Museum. And winter? Think sledding hills, tubing laps, spins around the Truckee Ice Rink—and hot cocoa, obviously.

For families with high-energy kids and teens, Woodward Tahoe adds even more to the mix. With indoor trampolines, foam pits, skate zones, and year-round coaching, it’s a favorite for kids who love to move, explore, and learn new tricks—rain, snow, or shine.

With outdoor adventure and kid-friendly fun just minutes from town, Truckee makes it easy to explore, unwind, and make memories together all year long.
