So far we plan to go to the water slides and ziplines, exploring GNP and do some clothes shopping.
Thanks in advance.

-Huckleberry patch in Hungry Horse just east of Columbia Falls for the greatest pies (huckleberry) known to man. Also awesome milkshakes and fudge.
-Walk up and down Central ave in Whitefish for the shops and restaurants (similar to main street in any mountain town, but still a good way to spend an afternoon). MacKenzie River Pizza is a good option for the kids for lunch or dinner, but there are plenty of quality restaurants in Whitefish.
-Whitefish City Beach on a hot day
-Go up gondola and for a hike at Whitefish Mountain resort
-If you are going into Kalispell, Moose's Saloon is a must for lunch or dinner (and kids of any age are just fine in there).
-If your family is into live theatre, the Whitefish Theatre and Bigfork Summer Playhouse have great shows (particularly the latter)
-Might already be on your agenda for the drive down or back, but spending a good chunk of one day on the Going to the Sun Road is a must.
