Well, you can always torture children with a trip to Yellowstone Park.   Or lots of outdoor hiking activities.

 If she's living there, she probably knows where she likes to eat.

Take him down the Alpine Slide (Snow King ski area), take the tram up to the top of the mountain (out at Jackson Hole Village), take a trip to Jenny Lake Lodge & go through Teton National Park (& hopefully see some moose), white water rafting (I am not sure on the age cutoff but I recall going very young), rents some bikes, go horse back riding, take him to a Dude Ranch, there are a few museums to check out, fishing, hiking...that's all I can think of off-hand. They names may have changed since I haven't been there in about 5yrs.  But I spent my summers in Wyoming growing up & take my girls up there every summer (the Big Horns, not the Tetons though).  If you have any questions, page me on the Colorado board...I will do the best I can to help you.

They are buiding the Tram, so you can't take him up there.  The Alpine Slide is a good one-there is also a mini golf course right there.  Down the street there is a maze that is fun (you can even do it w/water guns).  Don't miss the Shoot Out-6:30 pm Mon-Sat.  You could take a rafting trip.  Lots of hiking-there are some short jaunts that would be appropriate for a younger child.  Take him up to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park to see the animals.  There is a great exhibit at Colter Bay.  Lots to do, lots to see.

 Lunch-Sweetwater is great.  The Brew Pub is great.  Picas is good.  The Mangy Moose.  Dornans is great-it's up at Moose so it is a little drive.  You can't go wrong with Teton Pines.  If you want to spend a little more (but get an incredible meal) there is always the 4 Seasons.

 Hope this helps

The tram in Teton Village is still under construction, but you can still take the gondola almost to the top of the mtn.  If you're looking for a great lunch, try Couliour.  It's at the top of the gondola (9,600 ft).  The views and food are outstanding!
