Big Bear Activities and Places for Kids/Teens
Hey Guys!
Are you looking for something FUN to do on your next family vacation? Check out Big Bear Lake! We’ve got the perfect ingredients for you to have an AWESOME stay!
Need proof?
Test your skills at one of Big Bear’s TWO different Skate Parks! That’s right; this small mountain town has TWO different Skate Parks with plans to build a THIRD in the works. So no matter where you are staying you’re always close to the action.
Is it snowing and cold out? Then it’s time to lace up the boots, step into your bindings and hit the slopes of the Nations #1 Snowboard Park at Bear Mountain. And to make it even better, Kids ride for almost half price! Whether you’re a first timer in need of lessons, or the next Shaun White, Bear Mountain is the perfect place for YOU to ride!
After shredding all day you’re sure to be hungry. Don’t miss the famous pancakes at The Grizzly Manor for breakfast, or stop by Village Pizza for the best pie’s in town!
Big Bear Lake even has a Night Life for all you kids with a wild side! Check out the scene at the Bowling Barn every night for a few rounds of GLOW BOWLING or stop by the Village to see what’s playing at one of our TWO Movie Theaters. Visit the Village Sweet Shop to stock up on candy before Showtime!
