Other than the Grand Teton Scenery Loop every visitor will drive and breathe in, here are 3 family fun activities you will treasure life long.
1. Jenny Lake Boat Shuttle followed by Hidden Fall Hike/Inspiration Point Hike
It starts from the Jenny Lake Visitor Center. The boat shuttle(http://www.jennylakeboating.com/) is the most budget friendly way to have on-lake experience. Boat shuttles run every 10-15 minutes throughout the day across Jenny Lake at the base of Mount Teewinot. From there, the hike to Hidden Fall /Inspiration Point is short(1 mile), but adventurous enough. After Hidden Fall/Inspiration Point, you can also continue to the Cascade Canyon Hike.
This shorter boat ride(compared to a typical cruise or float trip) might be appreciated especially for children who always want to be on the move. Unlike cruises or float trips, it doesn't need reservations, so you can do that without a fixed schedule. Technically you could start the Hidden Fall/Inspiring Point Hike from the Jenny Lake Trail head without the boat ride. But a short boat ride will not just cut down 2.4 miles walking each way, but also add a different flavor to your family experience without missing the best part of the hiking to Hidden Fall and Inspiration Point.
2. Horseback Riding or Pony rides
Horseback riding in the Tetons is an experience your children will for sure remember. 8 years or above can choose from 1 or 2 hour guided trip offered at Jackson Lake Lodge, Colter Bay Village or Headwaters, no experience required. Younger kids don't have to be jealous watching their older siblings, since pony rides are offered at Jackson Lake Lodge for $5.

3. Jackson Hole Ariel Tram ride followed by the best waffle ever from the shop on top of Rendezvous Mountain
The Aerial Tram lifts you 4,139 vertical feet up from the base of Teton Village to the top of Rendezvous Mountain, which offers a panorama view of the Snake River Valley, Grand Teton National Park and the Gros Ventre Range.
Now comes the best part, the waffle. There is a small cafe on top of Rendezvous Mountain offering the most delicious waffle we have ever tasted. Lines can be long, but definitely worth it. We ended up waiting in line 4 times, since we wanted more every time we finished what we ordered. It was that good. I ended up researching on waffle recipe and syrup when we got back home, since I developed such a strong craving for waffle because of that.
