The falls are especially spectacular this time of year. Don’t miss this opportunity to see one of Spokane’s best views before the SkyRide closes January 2 for construction of the new Recreational Rink & SkyRide Facility scheduled for completion in late 2017. Rides are $5 - $7.50.

Mini-Golf

Take a break from the cold and snow by playing a round of mini-golf in the Enchanted Forest located inside the Pavilion. $6 for 9 holes.
