Family Friendly Indoor Activities at Shawnee

nicole on January 22, 2025

BRRRRR…..it’s cold outside! Come on in and enjoy family friendly indoor activities at our cozy Inn. We recently installed an indoor 9 hole mini putt course, a backgammon table, chess and checkers. Use of all of these indoor activities come at no charge for our overnight guests.

We love hearing about our guests day on the mountain skiing, snowboarding and snowtubing, but when they are ready to warm up, but not quite ready to call it a night, they can now enjoy one of these fun and family friendly indoor activities.

Mini golf will be open daily from 7am to 10pm through March 31st. The course itself is set up in the Payette room located just off the lobby of the Main Inn. A total of 8 people can play at a time. Putters, balls, score cards, and pencils can all be retrieved at the Front Desk.

What makes this indoor course so unique is that it was designed by a team member here at Shawnee. Make sure you refer to hole 7 as “Big Mike”.
