Kids Activities in Steamboat

Summertime in Steamboat is ideal for families with children. You won’t have a problem tiring out the kids but you might be challenged finding enough time to get it all in.

Calf Scramble and Ram Scramble at the Steamboat Pro Rodeo Series.

A great way for kids to feel like a cowboy is to enjoy two of the more exciting events at the Pro Rodeo Series. The kid’s calf scramble, for kids ages 6-12, is a race where a calf is let out into the arena and the kids chase it to grab the ribbon off its tail. Or, the ram scramble for kids ages 5 and under. The young ones compete the same as the big kids; however gentle sheep are used instead of calves.

Howler Alpine Slide

Kids will get giddy once they see the thrill of the Howler Alpine Slide. Safely zoom down 2400 feet of alpine slide goodness as you hoot and holler your way through Steamboat's only alpine slide. This is a great activity for kids but for big kids as well!

Scenic Gondola Rides

Kids will marvel in the scenery of Steamboat Springs, Colorado via the scenic gondola ride. With the ability to hold 8 passengers in each gondola car, this activity is perfect for families and groups. When you reach the top of the mountain you can hike one of the scenic trails and enjoy lunch outside on the deck while soaking in the views of the Yampa Valley below.
