Sightseeing
Coeur d’Alene Resort - Upscale hotel on Lake Coeur d’Alene. Amenities include a spa and salon and a golf course with a unique floating green. There are also several restaurants, lounges and bars. Walking the boardwalk or taking a boat tour from the resort is a lot of fun. We like to get huge ice cream sundaes, called “Gooeys” at Dockside restaurant.

Fun shops
Figpickels Toy Emporium - Our Favorite toy store! This store is the love child of Brett and Susan Sommer, who created electronic music designs for Broadway plays before retiring and moving to Cd’A. Their philosophy is that children should be able to test out a toy before committing to it, so if you want to open a package and give something a try, just ask! It’s just one of the fun stores along the downtown corridor.
