A Village Full Of Family Fun

Part of the magic of a Sun Valley vacation is every member of the family can discover their own adventure within the safe environs of the Sun Valley Village. While Dad is on the golf course and Mom is at the spa, children create their own vacations under the supervision of the Sun Valley PlaySchool and Day Camp programs. Older youngsters can have fun on their own, meeting new friends and reuniting with  family for dining and entertainment - all within the Sun Valley Village.

    Copyright © DreamWorks Pictures

    From director Steven Spielberg comes "War Horse," an epic adventure for audiences of all ages. Set against a sweeping canvas of rural England and Europe during the First World War, "War Horse" begins with the remarkable friendship between a horse named Joey and a young man called Albert, who tames and trains him. When they are forcefully parted, the film follows the extraordinary journey of the horse as he moves through the war, changing and inspiring the lives of all those he meets — British cavalry, German soldiers, and a French farmer and his granddaughter — before the story reaches its emotional climax in the heart of No Man's Land.

    Sun Valley Serenade


    Ted Scott (Payne) is a band pianist whose publicity manager decides that, for good press, the band should adopt a foreign refugee. The band goes to Ellis Island to meet the girl and soon discovers that the refugee isn't a 10-year-old child, but a young woman, Karen Benson (Henie). The surprise comes right before the band is to travel to Sun Valley, Idaho for a Christmas gig. While on the ski slopes Ted soon falls for Karen's inventive schemes to win the heart of her new sponsor, much to the chagrin of his girlfriend, Vivian Dawn (Bari), a soloist with the band. Vivian promptly quits the band out of jealousy, and Karen stages an elaborate ice show as a substitute.
