There's a lot of beauty in Riverfront Park. The river, hydro dam and old World's Fair pavillion make the stroll through the park, one of a kind. The carousel is a lot of fun. IMAX theater is a fun attraction. The park has a great deal of variety in a relatively small space. You can spend a day in Riverfront... More

This is a must-see in Spokane. The park is beautiful and has a lot to do. The IMAX theater is a nice feature. Outside that location is an ice skating rink (winter)/ carnival rides (summer) for all to enjoy. The gondola rides over the Spokane River water falls provide a breathtaking view, as do the numerous walking bridges across the... More

The Spokane River and falls are the center piece. Everything from jogging along the river to amusements for the children. Do ride the tram over the falls! More

Visiting from FL this was something we had never seen!! The waterfalls, amazing skyride, beautiful parks....such a great time for me and my family! The skyride is not air conditioned but thankfully it was cool when we were there...the ride is short but you do get some amazing views of the fall and bridge! They could use a good cleaning... More

This was a nice park with great views of the Spokane river and falls. A few nice pedestrian bridges, lots of parking ($1-$6) and very clean. Carousel, gondola over falls, and train tour around park, none of which we rode because we wanted a walk instead. Close to great antique stores in the area and the spokane convention center. More
