Great lodging specials and 30 days of organized activities await families this June during the second annual Family Fun Month in the town of Beech Mountain, N.C. Receive a free night of lodging with the purchase of two nights, or book a stay of five nights (or more) and get 25% off the entire stay.
And the deals don’t stop with the lodging specials. The Family Fun Month calendar is filled with activities that are either free or carry a reduced fee. The free activities include guided hikes, pickleball lessons and competitions, street dances, movies under the stars, concerts on the lawn, miles and miles of hiking trails, and water fun at the Beech Mountain Club swimming pool and splash pad.
Families can also receive discount tickets to area attractions like Grandfather Mountain, Tweetsie Railroad, Linville Caverns and the Biltmore Estate, and BOGO mini-golf in the heart of town.
Other fun activities include: Friday tours of the old Land of Oz theme park, mountain biking lessons, scenic chairlift rides, a junior golf tournament, and family Zumba classes. All taking placing just two and a half hours from Charlotte in Eastern America’s highest town.
“We’ve designated an entire month for families to reconnect. This is a need in today’s society because we don’t spend as much quality time together,” said Kate Gavenus, director of tourism for the town of Beech Mountain. “There are opportunities every day for grandparents, parents, teens and younger children to get out and enjoy activities on the mountain.”
Beech Mountain is an ideal summer getaway for families. It blends the amenities and lodging of a ski resort town with many miles of town-maintained hiking and biking trails.
On weekends (Friday through Sunday) Beech Mountain Resort operates its downhill mountain biking park, complete with lift access for both riders and their bikes. The resort also offers disc golf and scenic chairlift rides to the summit, where an observation deck awaits.
Two special weekends add to the festivities. The town’s Emerald Outback trail park holds its grand re-opening the weekend of June 5-7 with mountain biking rides, family hikes, a bonfire, clinics, contests and demos. The weekend of June 19-21 is the Cool 5 Race Weekend, featuring a five-mile run, a 1.5-mile fun run, a family walk-and-wag for pets, and a popsicle relay. A Taste of Beech also takes place that weekend.
Getting involved in Family Fun Month is easy. A schedule of events is available at www.FamilyFunMonth.com. Parents and grandparents can go to the site, select the days with their favorite activities, then choose from two lodging packages.
