Berkshires & Pioneer Valley offer indoor & outdoor adventure for kids and families

Create lasting memories with included activities designed for all ages at Huttopia Berkshires. Kids love our heated swimming pool with Jiminy Peak views, while families bond over bocce, pétanque, ping pong, and badminton. Evening entertainment includes local musicians, magicians, s’mores nights, and outdoor movie screenings under the stars. Explore nearby adventures like Jiminy Peak mountain biking (3 miles away), swimming and fishing at local state parks, or hiking to spectacular Bash Bish Falls. Our Café-Bistro serves family favorites from morning croissants to wood-fired pizzas, while organized nature activities help children discover local wildlife and learn about conservation.

At Crab Apple Whitewater, members of their family join every rafting trip to ensure a comfortable, exceptional experience for members of your family. In Massachusetts, there are trips just perfect for families. The Fife Brook section of the Deerfield River features Class I to III rapids, exciting but family-friendly, through mild whitewater for 2.5 hours followed by a hearty meal at the Mohawk Trail base camp, with a patio overlooking the river. And kids love the Funyaks option, where they can fire giant squirt guns from inflatable kayaks as they float through five miles of the lower Deerfield River. The Funyaks hold one or two; the self-bailing rafts hold six to seven paddlers. Spend the night in a nearby hotel or motel recommended by Crap Apple.

Bring the kids - and the dog! - to the Berkshires for sun, fun, and adventure! Find mountain lakes, many with beaches and public facilities, for swimming, sailing, and fishing. Cool off in an adventure park on a zip line or mountain coaster, then head to one of the local and state parks for a picnic lunch. Hike, bike, or walk a trail under a cool canopy of green. Enjoy outdoor music next to a park or playground, or find hands-on art activities at a local museum. Whether you want to enjoy an outdoor family meal followed by a good book under a shady tree, or you crave all-day excitement, the Berkshires can fill every agenda for the young and the young at heart.
