Grizzly Jack’s is a fantastical place for families to unwind and have some fun. A large lodge holds rooms with five different layouts. Families should look into the Family Suite or Deluxe Family Suite, which come with more space, balconies, separate sleeping areas and sofa sleeper, and fit up to eight people. Wood furnishing add to the log cabin atmosphere. Vacation Villas and Luxury Cabins are also available to rent. These accommodations would be best for family reunions and are more like home away from home, with dining rooms, kitchens and fireplaces. Four restaurants, cafes and snack bars are at Grizzly Jack’s. Families can find everything from taco pizza to homemade fudge to a full breakfast buffet. The resort also provides many family-friendly activities, like crafts, story time or character breakfasts. Kids can play at the arcade, spend the day at Grand Bear Falls Waterpark or swing the club at Canyon Creek Miniature Golf. Room rates include free admission to waterpark and theme park (Enchanted Forest).
