Family Friendly Load up the kiddos (and grandma and grandpa too) and get ready to make memories of a lifetime!

Get Back to Nature

Make sure your camera (or smartphone) is all powered up, because as you explore the wetlands and wildlife at the Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge, you’re going to wind up with a LOT of photos! As you stroll the miles of easy walking trails and boardwalks, keep your eye out for an incredible amount of flora and fauna. Family young or old alike will be blown away by the 200+ species of birds and other wildlife that call the refuge home (and the squirrels can be real hams too!)

Downtown Fun

The Hands On Children’s Museum takes imagination to a new level. Explore 28,000 square feet of space featuring 150 hands-on exhibits, ten themed galleries and a half-acre of outdoor play space. Explore Puget Sound’s maritime history on the Tugboat Sandman, then stroll along the boardwalk at Percival Landing Park. Want to really immerse yourself into more hands-on learning about aquatic life in and around the Puget Sound? Head on over to the Puget Sound Estuarium to check out the exhibits and sign up for Meet the Beach, to explore inter-tidal life on local beaches. EXPERIENCEOLYMPIA.COM
