The Best Western Oakhurst is a nice family vacation hotel. It has a slight woodsey feel to it.
As for exploring in Oakhurst, I don't know of anything. Mariposa is a better town for exploring--it has the feel of an old western town. You can always explore in the Park--explore Wawona and Mariposa Grove. In Oakhurst, relax in your room and enjoy the restaurants in town. I like the Mexican restaurant at the junction of Highways 41 & 49. About a mile east or so on Hwy 41, on the left (north) is a cute coffee shop for breakfast. Also a waffle shop for breakfast. Don't remember the names off the top of my head.
About another mile or two east on 41 on the right is a good sandwich shop for lunch. There's a BBQ place on the right, but I don't recommend it (the sauces are too bland at least for me).
