Outdoor Activities
A fun park with a walking path, splash pad, tennis courts, pavilion, stage, playground, and lots of grass for sunshine and shade.
Porter Park
Fun outdoor water park with lazy river, slides, and a great kiddie pool area.
Rexburg Rapids
One of our favorite Friday night activities in the summer when we are in town. Love seeing all the local businesses and the talent of so many in our community.
Rexburg Farmers Market
One of our favorite family-friendly hikes! A good majority of the hike is paved and it is wheelchair accesible. If you go all the way to the top the views can't be beat. Go at sunset…trust me.
Cress Creek Nature Trail
Camping, ziplining, golfing, swimming, good food…its all found in this area.
Heise Hot Springs - Where There is Something for Everyone
Every time I go I am in awe of the beauty of nature. Its about 1 1/2 hours away from Rexburg. It is an absolutely beautiful place filled with wildlife and nature you won't want to miss.
Yellowstone National Park
An easy little walk to the falls and you can enjoy a short trail to another look out point as well.
Mesa Falls Idaho
Restaurants
We may be a small town, but you can still find some good food.
We love this place! And its a great option if you are gluten free.
Sparks Barbecue (@sparksbarbecue) · Rexburg, ID
Try the carnitas nachos. So good! I've never tried their breakfast burritos, but everyone loves them!
Mexican Food | Casa de Ochoa | United States
They have one of my favorite sushi rolls!

We love going here as a family! Their salad bar is so good. And I highly recommend their Smores dessert pizza-yum!

Give me all the yummy treats
So much better than Crumbl! Love every flavor, but the smores is probably my top pick.
The Cookie Place
Yes its a gas station. Yes they have the best dirty sodas in town. Dirty Swamp Rat with Coke Zero and some cream is where its at. :)
Great Scott Rexburg
Arts & Entertainment
Only been to the musuem part once, but I love going to concerts in this old tabernacle building. So much charm.
Museum of Rexburg
Such a cool historic building!
Romance Theater
Movies, Bowling, Mini Golf, Arcade. There's fun for everyone.
FatCats Rexburg
An older theater, but if you want cheaper prices its a good deal.
Paramount 5
A pretty decent zoo considering the size of our area. My kids love to go and its nice that it doesn't take all day.

The cutest little place about 30 minutes from Rexburg and only 1 hour from Yellowstone National Park and a short drive to Mesa Falls.
