Worried there won’t be snow on the ground when you visit Big Bear this fall?  Not to worry! Big Bear has lots of attractions and activities for your family!

Top Big Bear Attractions

• Big Bear Lake – renting a pontoon boat at one of the marinas is an affordable way for your family to see the lake
• Big Bear Alpine Zoo at Moonridge – They just moved into their new location (November, 2020)! That is a great time to visit the zoo!
• Hike – Castle Rock Trail and Cougar Crest Trail are both scenic and family-friendly
• Take the chairlift at Snow Summit – Depending on the time of year you visit, it might be possible to take the chairlift to the top of Snow Summit to go for a walk/hike and grab some lunch.  There are also other activities on their property for all ages
• Visit Boulder Bay Park – it’s a beautiful place to walk around or enjoy a picnic lunch, and cayaks can be rented nearby.
• Alpine Slide & Coaster at Magic Mountain – any time of year, have fun at the thrilling roller coaster and alpine slide
• Big Bear Discovery Center – this center was closed for much of 2020, but should re-open soon
• Shop and dine at the Village – Pine Knot Village is a great place to grab some fudge for a snack or a full meal, and do a little souvenir shopping.

Of course, when you’re staying at Moonridge Family Lodge, you might not need to leave the property at all when visiting Big Bear! When there’s snow on the ground, our property transforms into a winter wonderland and private sledding hill.  In the summer, explore the land, gather pine cones, enjoy a meal out on the patio and open the indoor-outdoor game room to play some giant jenga, cornhole, and other family games.
