Mudgy and Millie Storybook Tour Coeur d'Alene — Family Rydable Ride Along the Lake
Select participants and date
The first thing you notice is the small motor hum and a chorus of children's laughter as families pick their Rydable creatures — a unicorn, a bear, a very dignified moose. Headsets click on and a lively narrator sets the scene: Mudgy the moose has lost his friend Millie the mouse and the hunt winds along Lakeside Avenue, past sandy beaches and flower-draped boardwalks. The scooters glide at a leisure pace, the lake breathes cool air that tugs at your jacket, and the city itself seems to lean in to hear the story.

Adventure Tips
Arrive 10 minutes early
Lines form at the Lakeside Ave meeting point; early arrival gives time to pick a Rydable and fit headsets.
Secure loose items
Rydables have limited storage; stash cameras and hats in a small daypack or pockets to avoid loss during stops.
Dress in layers
Lake breezes can be cool even on warm days — a lightweight jacket or fleece helps for evening departures.
Bring a camera ready for movement
Use a wrist strap or an instant-shoot small camera; operators provide photos but personal shots capture candid moments.
