Welcome back to the third installment of our series on play.  Now that you know why play is important for children and adults, let’s discuss what play is. Play is something done, not for the outcome, but for the process. Imagine a child sitting down with a piece of blank paper and a box of…

After reading Part One of this blog series, you may have a better understanding of how important play is in our children’s lives.  Play, not rigid and structured educational pressures, is vital for the development of a child’s mind allowing them to become more creative, compassionate, self-reliant, and successful throughout their lives.  Don’t get us…

Let me ask you a few questions … and answer honestly.  When was the last time you jumped in a puddle?  Or in a pile of leaves?  When can you last remember building a fort, playing pirate, or sledding down a hill?  Can’t remember?  Or did the general answer of “when I was a kid”…

As many of you know, Fun Unlimited has two locations on the Spokane River – one in Downtown Spokane and one in Post Falls.  It is, to put it simply, the lifeblood of our business, the backbone of our region, and a source of never-ending fun.  That’s why we’d like to stop and take a…

Do you like the water?  If so, you need to head down to the Spokane Fair and Expo Center from February 1st to the 9th for the Spokane Boat Show.  Why?  To visit us, of course, not to mention the 50 other dealers and vendors that are about all things water. Whether you’re looking to…

Not everyone loves winter.  The icy roads, the muddy slush, the shoveling, the sub-zero temperatures … yeah, there are a lot reasons to stay inside and curl up with a cup of cocoa.  After all, not everyone likes to hurtle down a mountainside on skis with nothing but a helmet for protection.  During the height…

We would like to invite you to come and visit us at the Spokane Health & Expo event this weekend (January 5 and 6) at the Spokane County Fair and Expo Center. First the basics – it starts on the 5th at 10:00 am and is $8 at the door ($6 if you buy early from their site, see link below).  Be prepared and come dressed to work-out because your admission fee covers all the classes offered at the main stage including yoga, Zumba, bootcamp and more.  There will also be vendors, speakers, and chances to participate in Ninja Warrior obstacles, a climbing wall, and aerial skills (to name a few). Stop in to see us at the Fun Unlimited/Stillwater Outdoors booth to get information about who we are, what we do, and allow us to share our passion for…

I think all of us learned the importance of sharing as children. We were told to share with our siblings, our fellow classmates, and other kids on the playground. Why then, may I ask, do we shy away from sharing as adults? Our society is obsessed with the idea of ownership and for decades our…

I think I’m a bit of an oddity among my friends and family.  I love snow.  I grew up in Northern Wisconsin where storms often dumped upwards of 12 inches of snow in a matter of hours and it wasn’t uncommon to trudge through 2 or 3 feet just to make it across the yard. …

First of all, we at Fun Unlimited would like to thank all of our wonderful customers who joined us for the 2018 summer season!  We loved having you and hope to see you all again next year. For those who are repeat visitors, you may have noticed that our Fun Unlimited site recently got a face lift.  Our website is new, improved, and simpler … because, let’s face it, who needs more complications in their life?  Now you can search based on our two locations – Post Falls or Spokane – in our navigation bar and on the home page.  You can also check out our season pass information or scan through our About tabs for more information on our boat club & membership, becoming a rental partner, and even purchasing our own brand of SUPs through our sister company,…
