When you think of “tropical oasis,” the Cowboy State isn’t the first place to come to mind. However, if you know where to look, you’ll find the Caribbean Cove Water Park in Gillette, WY – the best indoor waterpark in Wyoming – hiding between two unsuspecting and underrated hotels.

Gillette is known as the “Energy Capital of the Nation”, but even the most hardworking and restless Wyomingites need to enjoy a break and relax every once in a while.

Family-Friendly Attractions In Wyoming & Related Info

What are the best family-friendly hikes in Wyoming?

The Caribbean Cove Indoor Water Park is great fun for all ages, but it certainly isn't the only Cowboy State attraction suitable for all ages. Some of the best family-friendly hikes in Wyoming are:

Perhaps the most iconic hike in the entire park, Grand Prismatic Hot Spring Trail is a short-and-sweet hike that leads to the eponymous hot spring of the same name. It's less than one mile each way, and the views are incredible.

  • Taggart Lake Loop, Grand Teton National Park

Located in Wyoming's other national park, the Taggart Lake Loop is a four-mile trail that features lush greenery and towering mountains.

You can see multiple geysers on this easy, one-mile loop trail.

Where can I dine at themed restaurants in Wyoming? 

I love a good themed restaurant, and they're especially popular among families with children. The best themed restaurants in Wyoming include:

This Western-themed steakhouse offers fine steaks and seafood, Wyoming soda bread, and decadent desserts in a rustic, yet elegant ambiance.

This movie-themed restaurant serves up mouthwatering burgers amid decor inspired by cult classics and B-list horror films.

Housed in an 1883 saloon with Boxcar Springs under the floorboards, Woods Landing dishes out hearty and comforting meals in a unique, historic atmosphere.
