This made it an ideal spot for us all to meet for a family holiday, something we\u2019ve talked about for years and finally got around to planning.\u00a0It is just over 7 hours from our home in Calgary to Coeur d\u2019Alene, and just over 6 hours for my Lower Mainland relatives.

Now, I think it is important to point out that this vacation was made possible by the significant financial contributions of my parents. So if, like me, you sometimes wonder how the heck big families on social media are able to go on so many trips, know that were it not for my parents\u2019 generosity and Boomer finances, we would\u2019ve been stay-cationing in Calgary again this summer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tickets &amp; Accommodations<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/mamanloupsden.com-family-trip-to-silverwood-silverwood0.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/mamanloupsden.com-family-trip-to-silverwood-silverwood0.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32947\" style=\"width:404px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/mamanloupsden.com-family-trip-to-silverwood-silverwood0.png 600w, https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/mamanloupsden.com-family-trip-to-silverwood-silverwood0-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/mamanloupsden.com-family-trip-to-silverwood-silverwood0-150x225.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.silverwoodthemepark.com\/tickets\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the gate<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> during the summer, admission for a 2-day pass is $125 USD for ages 8-64, with youth (3-7) and seniors (65+) getting in for 2 days at just $78.

Note that the park is cashless once you\u2019re past the first gift shop to the left of ticket takers. You can use cash or a card to load up a bracelet if you need to send older kids off with some money.

We looked at hotels, but since part of our goal was to be all together, and because we wanted to prepare most of our own meals, it made much more sense to all be in one house.

The 4 youngest kids brought their scooters.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/mamanloupsden.com-family-trip-to-silverwood-silverwood-3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/mamanloupsden.com-family-trip-to-silverwood-silverwood-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32951\" style=\"width:304px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/mamanloupsden.com-family-trip-to-silverwood-silverwood-3.png 600w, https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/mamanloupsden.com-family-trip-to-silverwood-silverwood-3-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/mamanloupsden.com-family-trip-to-silverwood-silverwood-3-150x225.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for making the most out of Silverwood and Boulder Beach<\/h2>\n<p>1- Arrive early<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/mamanloupsden.com-family-trip-to-silverwood-silverwood-25.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/mamanloupsden.com-family-trip-to-silverwood-silverwood-25.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32957\" style=\"width:548px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/mamanloupsden.com-family-trip-to-silverwood-silverwood-25.png 900w, https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/mamanloupsden.com-family-trip-to-silverwood-silverwood-25-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/mamanloupsden.com-family-trip-to-silverwood-silverwood-25-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/mamanloupsden.com-family-trip-to-silverwood-silverwood-25-150x100.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The parks open their doors at 11 AM, but the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.silverwoodthemepark.com\/park\/faq-rules.php\">security<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> check, ticket booths and many of the restaurants and shops at the main entrance are open well before.

I am very sun-averse so my kids and I all wear <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YR5Ed5\">long sleeve rash guards<\/a> when we\u2019re doing summer water activities. My twins wear <a href=\"https:\/\/honeysuckleswimcompany.com\/collections\/sunsuits\">full sun suits<\/a> by Canadian brand Honeysuckle Swim Company because they hate shorts. This also avoids a whole lot of sunscreen applications! You cannot wear shoes on any of the water slides (even the little kiddy ones), so either go barefoot or be prepared to leave your shoes at the entrance to the ride. For footwear in the water installations, my twins wore their crocs and my older two wore their Keens.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/mamanloupsden.com-family-trip-to-silverwood-silverwood-8.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/mamanloupsden.com-family-trip-to-silverwood-silverwood-8.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33003\" style=\"width:280px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/mamanloupsden.com-family-trip-to-silverwood-silverwood-8.png 600w, https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/mamanloupsden.com-family-trip-to-silverwood-silverwood-8-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/mamanloupsden.com-family-trip-to-silverwood-silverwood-8-150x225.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>Water-friendly hats with straps are ideal if you want to wear your hats on the waterslides.

That said, I had promised the twins we could play a few games at Silverwood since it was a special trip. Definitely play the \u201cguaranteed prize\u201d games. Besides these ones, there are also some where kids under a certain height will always win. In one of my darkest parenting moments, my twins played the fish game and only won the first tier prize. (As is the most likely outcome.) Sadly, they had their eyes on the second tier prize and they both collapsed to the ground in front of the display and sobbed, screamed and kicked. IT WAS NOT GREAT. In the end, I learned you can \u201ctrade up\u201d your prizes, so yes, I GAVE IN. (And to be fair, I\u2019d have let them play twice in the first place if I\u2019d seen the \u201ctrade up\u201d option ahead of time.)<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/mamanloupsden.com-family-trip-to-silverwood-silverwoodprizes.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/mamanloupsden.com-family-trip-to-silverwood-silverwoodprizes.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33039\" style=\"width:466px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/mamanloupsden.com-family-trip-to-silverwood-silverwoodprizes.png 900w, https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/mamanloupsden.com-family-trip-to-silverwood-silverwoodprizes-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/mamanloupsden.com-family-trip-to-silverwood-silverwoodprizes-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/mamanloupsden.com-family-trip-to-silverwood-silverwoodprizes-150x100.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>In a stressful moment that parents of twins can appreciate, one twin played his second turn and won the second tier prize, meaning he could keep his first tier prize AND choose something from the coveted second tier. I am not a religious person, but I prayed for my second twin to also score a second tier prize \u2026 and the God of Parents of Multiples listened.<\/p>\n<p>Look, it\u2019s cheaper to buy them a stuffie at the gift shop.

There\u2019s enough to do to suit toddlers all the way to teenagers, but I would personally not have had the mental fortitude to have done this trip with any of my own children as toddlers (ie: needing diapers and naps). Even with the twins at 6.5, there were tantrums, picky eating and all the symptoms of being overstimulated and overtired. The twins obviously had a blast at Boulder Beach, but seemed equally thrilled once we got home playing a game that involved pouring water down the street in front of our house (which is on a slight hill) and then trying to race the water to to the bottom.<\/p>\n<p>For us, the two-day pass was perfect: we did Silverwood one day and Boulder Beach the next, picking the hotter day for the water park side. I know some folks just go for a day, and others for more! Because there is so much to do, and the lines quickly get very long, I would\u2019ve found it too hard to fit everything into one day. That said, the amusement park side closes as late as 10 PM some nights, so it depends on the stamina of your group members. We made it to 7 PM. If you\u2019re going for one day, I think it makes the most sense to start at the amusement park side and then cool off in the afternoon at Boulder Beach. It really depends what the interests of your group are, and an ideal scenario is being able to divide and conquer so that everyone gets to do a bit of what they want.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We enjoyed other attractions in the Coeur d\u2019Alene area, and I\u2019ll share those in a future post!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/mamanloupsden.com-family-trip-to-silverwood-60.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/mamanloupsden.com-family-trip-to-silverwood-60.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33044\" style=\"width:534px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/mamanloupsden.com-family-trip-to-silverwood-60.png 900w, https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/mamanloupsden.com-family-trip-to-silverwood-60-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/mamanloupsden.com-family-trip-to-silverwood-60-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/mamanloupsden.com-family-trip-to-silverwood-60-150x100.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p><!--Ad Injection:bottom--><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/carseatcubs.ca\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-32337\" src=\"https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/mamanloupsden.com-my-5-favourite-cash-back-apps-car-seat-cubs-banner-ad.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"728\" height=\"90\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/mamanloupsden.com-my-5-favourite-cash-back-apps-car-seat-cubs-banner-ad.png 728w, https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/mamanloupsden.com-my-5-favourite-cash-back-apps-car-seat-cubs-banner-ad-300x37.png 300w, https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/mamanloupsden.com-my-5-favourite-cash-back-apps-car-seat-cubs-banner-ad-150x19.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/safebeginnings.thinkific.com\/?ref=2a1632\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-32303\" src=\"https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/mamanloupsden.com-5-baby-led-weaning-breakfast-ideas-safe-beginnings-banner-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"728\" height=\"90\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/mamanloupsden.com-5-baby-led-weaning-breakfast-ideas-safe-beginnings-banner-1.png 728w, https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/mamanloupsden.com-5-baby-led-weaning-breakfast-ideas-safe-beginnings-banner-1-300x37.png 300w, https:\/\/mamanloupsden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/mamanloupsden.com-5-baby-led-weaning-breakfast-ideas-safe-beginnings-banner-1-150x19.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 -->\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We finally made a family trip to Silverwood happen this summer!
