Easy or longer hikes
The Joffre Lakes trailhead offers a short easy hike to the lowest of its three lakes which immediately rewards everyone with a view of glaciers in the background above the lake's iconic turquoise (rock flour) translucent water right in the foreground. The trail also continues up to link into two other lakes and a waterfall for visitors who have more time and a tolerance for uphill hiking.

Longer hikes or scrambles
If you like big hikes and dislike crowds, skip Joffre Lakes and consider hiking to Mt. Rohr. You still get alpine lakes, but you also gain some scrambling and a distinctly (and rightfully) backcountry feel.

Sightseeing
Agro-tourism farm, café, bakery, local produce grocer, October pumpkin patch wagon rides, Spring outdoor BBQs... it's simple fun for the whole family, honestly. Perhaps it's too "high brow" for the local hardcore farm crowd, but whatever, it's clean fun and your money is probably better spent here than at Disneyland or at an overpriced hokey city walking tour.
