Best Outdoor Adventures in Moab for Kids & Families

Looking for the best outdoor adventures in Moab for kids? As red rock adventure base camp for two national parks, Moab offers active experiences in nature that families won't find anywhere else. Whether you're visiting for the first time or looking for something new, we've rated every option for age-appropriateness, stroller access, and value so you can skip the guesswork.

Outdoor adventures with kids require more planning than solo trips. We rate each for difficulty level, minimum age, and what gear you'll need. Most importantly: we tell you the actual hiking distance, not the marketing version. In Moab, expect hot summers (100F+), cold winters — spring and fall are the sweet spots. Pro tip: Arches requires timed entry reservations in peak season. Dead Horse Point is less crowded and equally stunning. Bring more water than you think.

Below you'll find our curated list of outdoor adventures in Moab, UT — each with detailed age ratings (infants through teens), cost estimates for a family of four, and the practical parent details that matter: parking, stroller access, nursing rooms, and honest reviews of what makes each spot worth your time.
