Fox Island Historical Society

Address: 1017 9th Avenue Court Fi, Fox Island, WA 98333, USA

Museum

“Wonderful museum. Full of books and artifacts. The people there will gladly give a tour and guide you around any specific topics you may be interested in. If you enter the women's bathroom, you will find a suprise guest in the bath tub. XD Picked up several books (and a few comics) and checked out the "Clay Babies" display. These rare calcite concretions can only be found at the top of the island around the spit. It is illegal to take them from the spit or the private beaches without permission. Please respect a Pack it In - Pack it Out Policy and leave the area the way you found it. They are also trying to seed the beach with oysters and clams, please do not disturb these creatures and do not disturb the kelp lying around. The crabs and other creatures use it for protection. The cabin was locked, but we had a nice look from the outside. Great location for quick stop with great hosts. Will recommend to others.”

Lelooska Foundation

Address: 165 Merwin Village Rd, Ariel, WA 98603, USA

Museum

“I don't know how to summarize the experience I had. The museum is small, but packed full of items that fall between artifacts and household treasures. If you know Northwest or Native History to begin with the exhibits are extraordinary. The ceremony itself was literally magical. The sharing of masks that are famous if you know anything about Northwest Coast Native art, in the context of the ceremonies of dance, story, and song that they belong to, brings them to life in an accessible way that even the youngest members of my group could understand. Also, the little Puffin dancer was adorable.”

Langley Whale Center

Address: 105 Anthes Ave, Langley, WA 98260, USA

Museum

“No bathroom for kids or anyone (there is a public restroom a block and a half away). Still requiring face coverings... (June 2022). Volunteers were super nice and informative and seemed genuinely interested in sharing info. There's a little kid area that is kind of like a whale themed center with puzzles, games, books, and coloring pages. My 4 year old seemed to like it. (Picture is taken standing in kid room looking out into the half with information and displays towards front door) Bones and other information in half of the main room. Gift shop on the other half. Decent prices. Lots of whale books for all ages. Left with an orca plush and craft kit. If you have whale questions, this is the place to go. If they had a bathroom available and weren't requiring face coverings, I would have left happier. But they were super nice. 💗”

A great place to take kids to learn about history, especially if you are homeschooling.”

Key Peninsula Historical Society & Museum

Address: 17010 S Vaughn Rd NW, Vaughn, WA 98394, USA

Museum

“My son and I had gone to the museum on a field trip for school. There was a lot of interesting and enlightening information about everything they had in there down to the saw that took two people to use that was 8 ft long approximately! Would definitely recommend others to go and learn a few things and maybe do a few things they hadn't before. My son and his class definitely had a great time learning about all the different jobs that they had back then around here.”

Museum of Glass

Address: 1801 Dock St, Tacoma, WA 98402, USA

“This was our 1st visit to this museum. It was absolutely stunning to see the work!! There was some serious detail on a lot of the pieces.. I had no idea there were so many clever artists with glass. Lol the staff were all very friendly and helpful. The gift shop was great!! And the bridge outside is stunning and remarkable!! There are no other words for that for the detailed beautiful works at this museum. We will definitely be returning.”

Chelatchie Prairie Railroad

Address: 207 Railroad Ave, Yacolt, WA 98675, USA

Museum

“Run all by very friendly volunteers! It's a fun, affordable, local activity that kids under 6 will definitely enjoy because it is a slow, smooth ride. For the Christmas train it is just under a 2hr journey including a pitstop to see Santa, get some hot cocoa or apple cider, and a toy (for donations) - and get a photo op with Santa! It's a good time to use the outhouse as well. You can also buy some fun train type toys in the ticket office. They have other special events throughout the year, too.”

U.S. Naval Undersea Museum

Address: 1 Garnett Way, Keyport, WA 98345, USA

Museum

“What a great museum! We took our kids, 6 & 4 years old the other day. Pay attention to the hours because we went on Tues and that's the only day they're closed. But when we went back we had a nice time! There were a lot of interactive displays to keep the kids entertained! Their favorite was looking out the periscope and swinging through the doorway! I loved learning about the dolphins and sea lions too! We will definitely be returning!”

Nisqually Reach Nature Center

Address: 4949 D Milluhr Rd NE, Olympia, WA 98516, USA

Aquarium Museum

“Good place for birds and people. I like to walk there about once a month. If you can time a walk for high tide, you'll see more fish, seals, and sea lions. Strollers ok and the part of the walk that is wooded is wheelchair accessible. No bathrooms out on trail so make your kids go before.”

Camlann Medieval Village

Address: 10320 Kelly Rd NE, Carnation, WA 98014, USA

Museum

“Visit was for a regular weekend village on a summer Sunday and it was really quiet and a few villagers present. The visit was very short since not a lot was happening. The entrance fee is $10 per person (including children) and cash only. I didn’t expect to pay so much since online reads “Admission $5.00 except for festivals” and was presented to us as a donation so be ready to pay. It seems like best time to visit is during a festival to really make it worth the trip and your money. We visited the restaurant and the beer was way better than the food so maybe just stick to beverages unless you just want the experience of eating soup, a few slices fruit & cheese and bread. We did try two desserts as well and we weren't entirely full. It was an interesting experience and probably won’t visit again, seems like a one time thing. I visited because of TikTok or else would have never known about it before, so maybe a festival is a better experience here.”
