Saturday Evening Family Fun

Looking for an easy afternoon outing with the kids that doesn’t break the bank or require much planning? Canby’s got you covered!

Begin with lunch in beautiful downtown Canby. The Backstop Bar & Grill offers a classic sports bar feel with a big menu full of kid-friendly favorites, from burgers and fries to grilled cheese and salads. For a more casual option, head to Cutsforth’s Market, where the deli serves hearty sandwiches using local, quality ingredients.

Once the family is fed, take a late afternoon visit to Simply Play, where kids can run, climb, and slide their way through open play while you relax with a coffee or chat with other parents. After some quality playtime, it’s time to plan for dinner. Head down the street to Ebner’s Custom Meats to peruse for a selection of meats, sides, and seasonings.

Now, it’s showtime! Walk or drive to the Canby Cinema 8 for a family-friendly movie. With affordable ticket prices and all the popcorn essentials, it’s an easy way to end the day.

Still have room for dessert? Don’t miss Cones, where the classic ice cream counter and cheerful staff make it a favorite local stop year-round. Kids love the flavor choices, and parents appreciate the simple pleasure of a scoop shared at a downtown bench.

This easy evening itinerary is perfect for families wanting to spend a little extra time together without the hassle of a big outing, all within a few walkable blocks in downtown Canby.
