Many, though not all, of our state parks provide campsites. Some are so popular they must be reserved far in advance, so always check before you go.

Dads love treasure hunts, and this game using GPS is like a modern-day version of one. There's even a game that runs through our state parks.
6. Check out our wildlife sanctuaries or zoos.
