Twin Falls Weekend with Kids

Twin Falls is the largest city in South-Central Idaho, and is known mostly for its unique geology. If your kids are into rocks and fossils, they're going to have a blast exploring these different places around the Twin Falls area. The city still feels like a small town, so you'll find the people to be friendly and welcoming.

River Rock Grill

A comfortable, casual family restaurant with a diverse menu that will please even the pickiest of eaters. The food is fresh, and the prices are very reasonable. I recommend the Angus Sirloin.

There are thousands of fossils on display here, from mastodons to saber-toothed cats.

Perrine Bridge

If not, you can stay behind at the Visitor's Center on the south rim to watch people walk across the bridge. Oh, and they also jump off it! The Perrine Bridge is the onl... More

The Perrine Bridge is the only man-made structure in the United States to allow BASE jumping year-round without a permit.

Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument

This is a great place to teach kids about fossils and ancient animals. The Hagerman Horse is Idaho's State Fossil and is representative of the earliest known species of horse. There are thousands of fossils on display here, from mastodons to saber-toothed cats. Best thing, it's all free!
