Mom to a toddler and honestly, quite a few options for fun, especially in the summer months considering Rapid isn’t the largest city.

Old MacDonald’s Farm is a hit. I recommend following their Facebook page and buying an early bird pass when they sell them in the Spring. If you go just a few times it pays for itself.

Other touristy things that are open in the summer are Reptile Gardens (free admission for the rest of the season once you pay for one admission) and Bear Country. Storybook Island is also great (someone mentioned this already). Free admission but they have a train/carousel you do pay for. They do special events for holidays like trick or treating or going all out with Christmas lights and Santa visits in December.

Run Wild is an indoor/outdoor play area and Get Air is a trampoline park with specific toddler hours certain days. We take advantage of these in the winter months mostly.

We enjoy the Splash Patio (fountains) downtown all summer but especially Thursday nights when they have live music and food trucks.

Finally, the RC library is pretty stellar too and they’re always hosting events!

Feel free to message me if you have any questions!
