Lithia Park is great for families. There is a pretty standard playground there but my favorite is the creek that runs through the park and the wading area for kids to play in. My daughter also loves to visit the duck pond. Lithia Park is right by downtwon Ashland so it's just a short walk from lunch, ice cream, toy stores and book stores as well.

Enjoying a day skiing is hard when you have little ones. Bridger offered "playcare" for kids 18 months+. I believe it was $45 for a 1/2 day or $60 all day. Ski tickets are $45/adult. We were able to drop our toddler off (just pack a lunch and snow clothes as they have a gated area for them to play outside) and then go enjoy a perfect powder day of skiing! After we skiied hard all morning we picked up our toddler and took a couple of rides up the beginner chair with her in my front pack and watched her 3 year old cousin learn to ski (lift free for kids, kids ski rentals $5).

My daughter was only 8 months old at the time and we went with another couple with a 1 year old so our kids were a bit young to fully enjoy the experience. That said, the adults had a blast. The kids enjoyed watching the dolphins and the Shamu show and we enjoyed the Budweiser house (2 free beers/person) and the amusement rides (each couple took turns watching the babies). Then we all hit the water park at the end of the day. That said, there was no quality restaurant inside the place so expect amusement park food. Also, bring lots of sunblock and a stroller with a good sunshade is a must.
