Families can emerge from the pandemic with fresh eyes and new experiences in SoIN, thanks to the SoIN Fun Trail, GoSoIN.com/funtrail. Children of all ages can try new experiences, see new sights, and try new restaurants this summer while earning prizes.
The SoIN Fun Trail is a new passport program from SoIN Tourism (@GoSoIN) that features family-friendly attractions in Clark and Floyd counties. Designed to help people be tourists in their own backyard, more than 50 businesses have signed on to participate.
“The SoIN Fun Trail is a way for parents and their children to get out of the house and explore the fantastic things they have in their own communities,” said Luanne Mattson, assistant director for SoIN Tourism. “Many of our tourism partners have created discounts and special offers to encourage people even more.”
Experiences
The SoIN Fun Trail offers experiences for kids and families. They can:
- Play one of the 200 pinball machines at Recbar 812
- Feed the ducks or slide down the tube slide at Joe Huber’s Family Farm
- Marvel at the size of a steamship's paddlewheel at the Howard Steamboat Museum
- Pick fresh fruit at Huber’s Orchard, Winery & Vineyard
- Taste a warm, freshly made cinnamon red hot drop from Schimpff’s Confectionery
- Enjoy a swim or boat ride at Deam Lake
- And much more!
