Listen. Planning a family vacation doesn’t have to be a chore. It doesn’t have to require airfare for four, or lugging everything you own with you. And you don\u2019t even need hours coordinating with a travel agent or scrolling through the internet for ideas.<\/span>
\nMake things simple. Make your family vacation Beavers Bend style.<\/span>
\nAt an easy drive away (pack those road games for the littles), Beavers Bend Oklahoma offers a little something for everyone \u2014 and massive cabins to call basecamp.\u00a0<\/span>
\nAnd we have some tips to make the most of your trip. So wrangle those rugrats, pack up the car and get here already.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

HUNT FOR TREASURE AT BEAVERS BEND MINING COMPANY.\u00a0<\/b>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nAdmit it: we all once dreamt of being a paleontologist, prospector, or pirate. In Beavers Bend, you can be all three. At <\/span>Beavers Bend Mining Company<\/span><\/a>, kids and kids-at-heart can mine for dazzling gemstones and ancient fossils. And all without requiring a change of clothes.\u00a0<\/span>
\nDon\u2019t miss the Dino Dig Experience, where you\u2019ll see real dinosaur teeth and claws and even pet a 12-foot-tall interactive raptor. Kids\u2019 got their second wind? Send them over to Pirate\u2019s Cove. They\u2019re guaranteed to sleep tight after a few hours on this life-size pirate ship, complete with rock walls, rope ladders, and creaking planks. Eyepatches not included, matie.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

CAMPING, BUT NOT REALLY.<\/b>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nWe take your home away from home seriously. We\u2019re not kidding. It\u2019s kind of our job.\u00a0<\/span>
\nFrom foosball and flatscreens to swimming pools and swing sets, our more than <\/span>2,600<\/span><\/a> luxury cabins have something for even the crankiest camper. Let the monkeys jump on the bed while you take a breather on your wraparound porch. Pour yourself that glass of wine from a <\/span>local winery<\/span><\/a>. Or enjoy a family game night before filling up on hot dogs and s\u2019mores around the campfire (or <\/span>takeout<\/span><\/a>, if that\u2019s more your style).\u00a0<\/span>
\nDon\u2019t let your daydreaming get the best of you. Reservations fill up quickly, so book your cabin in advance. Like way in advance. Same thing goes for rentals and water toys.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

WATERSPORTS, WALLEYES, AND WETSUITS \u2014 OH MY!<\/b>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nBeavers Bend without a lake day is kind of like a chicken fried steak without gravy. It\u2019s just wrong. And with more than 14,000 acres of crystal clear waters, Broken Bow Lake is the place to get your lake day fix.\u00a0<\/span>
\nReel in a record-breaking rainbow trout. Or just work on that Oklahoma sunburn on the beach. For a more low-key afternoon, load up the group for a peaceful pontoon cruise. And don\u2019t forget the bathing suits! Broken Bow Lake offers many <\/span>designated swimming areas<\/span><\/a> along its 180 miles of shorelines.\u00a0<\/span>
\nIf your daredevils prefer more thrill than chill, we\u2019re also your place. We\u2019re talking wave runner rentals. Tubing. Even high-speed jet boat tours. Traveling with teens? (Yikes.) Send them down the rushing rapids of the Mountain Fork River in a kayak. Or get their blood pumping with paddleboarding, kneeboarding, wakeboarding \u2014 really any <\/span>watersport<\/span><\/a> their hormonal hearts desire. They\u2019ll have so much fun they\u2019ll almost forget to roll their eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

MAKE A FURRY FRIEND (OR TWO).<\/b>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nOnce you\u2019ve perfected your farmer\u2019s tan, pop into Hochatown Petting Zoo for a wildlife adventure your family will be talking about for years. Befriend a brown skunk. Compare bellies with a potbellied pig. And bottle feed a baby raccoon, right here in Hochatown, Oklahoma. But watch out for those goats. They\u2019ll eat anything. No, really. Pick up some feed before meeting everything from your favorite barnyard critters to rescued local wildlife and exotic birds, reptiles, and mammals. Your lucky shirt will thank you.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

TAKE A RIDE ON THE WILD SIDE.<\/b>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nYour toddler is right. Walking is overrated. Trade in those hiking boots for cowboy boots and explore the Ouachita Mountains on horseback. Choose from a variety of <\/span>stables<\/span><\/a>, then pony up for a unique day of wildlife watching on the trails.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

GET UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL WITH HISTORY.<\/b>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nAcrocanthosaurus. Say that ten times fast. Or just meet one in Idabel at the <\/span>Museum of the Red River<\/span><\/a>. In Beavers Bend\u2019s best kept secret, you\u2019ll discover more than 30,000 cultural artifacts from around the Americas. You\u2019ll also come face-to-face with the most complete specimen of Oklahoma\u2019s state dinosaur: Acrocanthosaurus atokensis. Your kiddo\u2019s not into dinos? The museum\u2019s variety of hands-on art programming might be more their speed. Either way, at a price tag of exactly $0.00, the Museum of the Red River is a must stop.<\/span>
\nAlright, we did all the heavy lifting. Book your trip and #GetHereAlready.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
