There are so many fun options for activities, it's hard to decide what to do.
Some of our favorite activities when we visit Sunriver are biking and hiking (and sitting and sipping). Each summer we try to get to at least one Bend Elk's Baseball game, and one summer we learned all about geocaching (there are several geocaches in Sunriver).
Other fun options include:
The High Desert Museum. Check out the museum website for upcoming events. Closer to home, the Sunriver Nature Center also has fun, educational activities. You can find their event schedule here. Even Mt. Bachelor has events and activities during the summer. Check it out here! And, Sunriver Resort's Fort Funigan has fun activities planned year round. Here is a current sampling from their website:
Family Activites (Starting Memorial Day weekend)
GLOW BALL PUTTING
9:00PM-10:30PM | $12 PER PERSON
Join us after dark as we keep the party “glowing” with one of our most popular programs. Using flashing golf balls and neon holes, try your luck on our 9-hole putting course. Show up after-dusk with the whole family for the best effect. We accept walkup players until 10:15. Meet us at the 9-hole putting course behind the Lodge. Please note, day-time use of putting course is separate from the fee of this program.
