Catching a show with a friend in the village
Get active! Take a hike, go horseback riding, golf, bike, fish, or book the kids in swim lessons or ski school.

Places to eat & drink in Beaver Creek
My kid was in heaven at Northside Kitchen.
Après at The Ritz at Wyld Bar, The Great Room, or Fireside for drinks and light bites.
NorthSide Kitchen in Avon has incredible pastries and an excellent kids' menu.
Fattoria for Italian. They don't have a kids' menu, but they will customize pasta and pizza. The steak is perfect.
Lily Sushi and Ramen is loved by locals and tourists.
Splendido at the Chateau for kid-friendly fine dining. They often have live music.
Need to know
For added convenience, you can fly into Eagle County and avoid renting a car and the two- to three-hour (scenic) drive from Denver.
