Kids will love exploring the Aska Adventure Area, where gentle hikes, river tubing, and gem mining make outdoor play feel like a real-life treasure hunt. In downtown Blue Ridge, families can ride the scenic railway, watch a movie at the Swan Drive In, play pinball, or enjoy ice cream after mini golf. With lakes, splash pads, and plenty of kid-friendly eateries, it’s a mountain town made for memory-making — here are some of our favorites.
