Great lunch spot! Best wings in town, hands down! Personally I really enjoy the garlic Parmesan and hot mixed! No reservations so be sure to get their early (opens at 11). Great sandwiches, wraps, salads, German fare and other great options await. Ps- their Ruben is out of this world!

Parking in helen

Parking can sometimes be impossible in downtown helen, I recommend either getting to town early, walking, or paying to park. (There is free parking available near big daddy’s and the hayloft which are close to downtown)
Sparnaðarleiðir

Bring your 32oz beer mugs with you!

All of the bars and restaurants in town offer a discounted “refill cost” for the 32oz mug! If you drink a lot of beer, like I do, it can save you a few bucks.

Helen train ride and mountain coaster

On the weekends, the small train (trolly) takes passengers all through the town. It’s marketed towards children and I always see smiles coming from the people riding the train. The mountain coaster is another attraction I would highly recommend, lines can sometimes be long but worth the wait!

Tubing on the river

During the warm months, tubing is open on the river running through Helen. It’s a great experience to bring the kids and enjoy the day outside. The tubing headquarters are located just down the hill from our space and can be easily walked to.
