Rainy-Day Big Bear With Kids

When the lake or a trail is off the table, pick one indoor outing and leave the rest of the afternoon open. For several families sharing a cabin, bowling, lunch, and games back at Edgar’s Hideaway make an easy day.

Start with bowling

Check The Bowling Barn for hours, lanes, and arcade information. If you’re bringing several families, ask how many lanes you can reserve together. If you booked through Destination Big Bear, look at the guest perks guide for current offer terms.

Make lunch easy

Pick one restaurant that can handle your group, or get takeout and eat at the cabin. Our Big Bear Restaurant Guide is a good starting point. If the rain lets up and sidewalks are clear, try a short Village outing.

Spend the afternoon at the cabin

Set up a shuffleboard or Skee-Ball tournament in the game room. Let each family pick one game, then bring everyone together for dinner. If mountain road conditions make driving a poor choice, start with the cabin plan and check our Big Bear weather and road conditions guide before going into town.

Stay at Edgar’s Hideaway

Our five-bedroom cabin in Upper Moonridge gives families room to spend the day together or go their separate ways and meet back for dinner.
