This afternoon we went down to Riverfront Park. The park is right next to the downtown area, and it is centered around the Spokane River and Spokane Falls. The area was revitalized in 1974, when Spokane hosted the World's Fair (Expo '74) in the park that year. The park has a gondola and amusement park rides in the summer; in the winter an ice skating rink. You can also watch a movie or see an IMAX film. There is a water fountain and carousel for the kids and on the 4th of July, fireworks.
Since we had never been on the gondola, we hopped aboard and then spent the rest of the time walking around the park. We learned that the clock tower was built in 1902 as part of the Great Northern RR passenger terminal and that Julia likes the taste of ice cream.
