1. Hike At Ha Ha Tonka State Park

As the home to castle ruins from the 20th century, Ha Ha Tonka State Park is a great place to bring the family for fun and a little education as well.

Take a short hike or pack a picnic to spend the entire day—Ha Ha Tonka is a great way to enjoy time with the family either way.

5. Explore The Water

The water is a main reason people come to the Lake of the Ozarks. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have your own boat – boat rental locations can be found all around the lake. This is a great way to spend a day soaking up the sunshine and cooling off in the water. Parasailing is another popular water activity. If you’re looking for something a little more low-key, take a fishing excursion to spend time with the family on the water.

6. Swim At Big Surf Waterpark

Big Surf Waterpark is an exciting outing for a day of family fun. There are a number of rides and activities for children and adults of all ages. Take an exhilarating drop on the area’s largest half pipe, Zambezi Falls or take a load off in the Lazy River—whatever floats your boat (or tube)!  Bring the family to Big Surf for a fun filled day of water and sun.
