Fun for kids and adults who still like kid things. Most of these activities were better for kids over 6 or so, although there were a few things my 4 year old and 2 year old could do.
The bouncy house was a hit, and they went twice each of the two days we were there. I do see why they made us sign a waver as each time, as there seemed to be some kid crying over getting pushed, jumped on, or scratched.
My 2 year old absolutely loved the horseback ride up the hill, with me walking next to her. The guides were very friendly, and let her feed the horses straw and hay and even let us take some pictures of her holding the reins. My 4 year old is very hesitant by nature, and didn't enjoy the spiderweb or race cars. I couldn't talk him into doing any of the other actives such as the bungee trampoline, westcoaster luge, or ropes course. Although I really wanted to do these activities myself.
I do think these activities were very pricey (about $8 CAD for 10 minutes in bouncy house, $9 for 5 minute race cars, etc). It was also confusing which tickets to buy where for which activities. Some only took cash, and we had difficulty finding a cash machine in this part of the upper village that took our US cards without the chip they use in Canada. We ended up trekking down to the lower village to an actual bank (TD canada) to get cash.
Overall, though, our kids had a great time, and I also enjoyed some of these activities. -

It was all about the Westcoaster Luge during our visit to Whistler. The kids also enjoyed the mini zipline and Amazen Maze, but the luge was by far their favorite. Kids can go on their own around age 8, so our youngest had to have an adult accompany him (yipee!). You can easily control your speed, so it was funny to see how fast or slow different people went. They did a good job of spacing out riders so you didn't bunch up. There is a timer to track your speed if you're competitive.
I've been to adventure zones at several resorts in Lake Tahoe (Squaw Valley and Northstar) and this is far superior.Listed in: Whistler-in Dixie
