37 Best Stops Between Seaside and Wenatchee (2024)

Very easy walking trail with much wildlife and canopy for shade. Just shy of 3 miles around with a boat pier just off the trail. Saw a number of harmless snakes, small frogs, a few small birds, slugs and quite a few heron. Trail wasnt crowded at all. Smallish parking lot. Trail will be muddy after a rain, and for a few days after that since many spots don't get any sun. Most mud can be walked around, though. Second time walking this one and I've enjoyed it both times. Looks like there might be quite a few blackberries along this one when the season hits. Enjoy!

Winter time on Sauvie Island is wonderful! I love to walk along the Columbia River! I walked from the clothing optional beach to the beach past Warrior Rock trailhead. The tide was out! I saw and heard hundreds of geese including the biggest flock of snow geese I have seen! I saw nine bald eagles and several heron and egrets! The day started out foggy but I got some beautiful sun in the late afternoon! I saw a total of less than 20 people! It was a perfect day!

Great place for emergency and info about the island and life on the island.

I have been to the Sauvie Island farms many times so I already knew this is a great place to visit. This was my first time on the Island early in the morning. The landscape was absolutely stunning with the early morning mist. The beaches were empty and so peaceful just waiting for someone to come enjoy. This is a perfect place to bring the kids and dogs for an early morning walk on the beach.

Peaceful, quiet, serene and close to home.

Too all bicyclists, please ride single file and keep to the right. Sauvie Island is a live/work agriculture land, the roads are built for trucks and resident traffic. The island has grown in popularity the past few years which in turn is being over run with those who think it's a recreational hotspot. There are no dog parks on the island, please keep your dog on a leash and obey the scoop laws.

I am sure this place it great, but FYI it’s closed for concerns of COVID19. The entrance is a little confusing. There’s a fish and wildlife center and you drive past the lot there to the parking in the back. The gate to that lot is locked with a “Close Not Open to the Public.” Bummer. Next time I guess...

Great place! A lot of cool things to see. The gift shop was disappointing, unfortunately. The cashier had no idea how much the stuff in the store was :/ I had to show her where the things I wanted to buy were.

This is an official US Navy Museum, free admission, located just outside the main gate to Puget Sound Naval Shipyard on the Bremerton waterfront. There is not parking nearby - you'll have to find a street spot up the road and walk down. Be conscious of the time limits for your parking, this museum can take a couple hours to work through and most of the parking is 2 hours max. Beware also that trying to drive down to the museum directly can easily result in ending up at the guard shack for the ferry - if that happens, just tell the guard you're there for the museum and they'll let you turn around. But you'll have to wait in line until you reach the shack... so just avoid it in the first place and do NOT continue on the road that passes the museum.Now, as far as the museum, it's ok. I have been three times and it's more interesting each time, but it still feels underwhelming compared to other navy museums like the undersea one in Keyport and the national one in DC, or the submarine force museum in Groton. There's plenty here to teach you about the shipyard itself, but not really that much on the navy... it's heavily local focused. There's also WAY too much reliance on text and photos, instead of primary artifacts. Some exhibits are literally just walls with works painted on them. That, to me, is unacceptable. The artifacts the museum has on display are, frankly, pretty boring too. Wooden patterns for chains and nuts and other assorted ship fittings, some helmets, some obscure and mundane snips, wedges, and other tools, a time clock, some signs, etc. The most interesting items are the bell from the Navy's first ammunition ship, USS Pyro, and the skylight from the old gunboat Nipsic that survived the Apra Harbor disaster and went on to be PSNY's original headquarters during construction of buildings ashore. I was EXTREMELY disappointed that there was nothing - not a single piece - of the famous battleship USS Washington on display anymore. The museum tells me the wheel and bell from that ship are in storage to go back to DC, which is stupid, since the namesake is the state of Washington. The only USS Seattle they have anything from is the Cold War-era replenishment ship, so nothing from the famous armored cruiser that served as the US fleet flagship in the 1920s and survived longer than any other ship of her type. Hugely missed opportunity. I understand the museum is going for interactivity, but the result of such a lack of artifacts is that many of the rooms feel empty other than the paint on the walls, and some of the exhibits just don't flow because they're all vertical-space. I continue to be disappointed in this place for this exact reason. The best exhibit overall is the Nimitz-class carrier exhibit upstairs, which definitely represents the features of that kind of ship well, and is informative and full of items from the John C. Stennis (CVN-74). The patrol boats exhibit, while interesting to read, is another huge miss when it comes to artifacts. A couple models, a boxed game, a couple badges, and a builder's plaque is all they could really muster here... meanwhile two of the ships shown in pictures on the wall were laying around like so much junk just three hours southwest in Astoria, Oregon. Sad they couldn't get some actual artifacts to support the exhibit.Overall, it's still an informative museum and is well maintained, so I can't consciously give it less than three stars. But I was definitely disappointed at the lack of actual navy items on display for being a navy museum. It just feels incoherent and empty unless you're either a/ totally unaware of anything navy and this is your first exposure to the topic or b/ really, really interested in the shipyard.

Naval History , Artifacts, Displays , and recent information about USS John Stennis and the USS Nimitz housed In a beautiful building nestled near the Ferry Terminal and bordering the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. I served aboard the Nimitz and was pleasantly surprised to see so much about her history and how it intwines with the history of Bremerton and the ship yard. The staff were perfect . The visit was worth the long trip from Huntsville Alabama .

Loved this museum! Very interactive. Great kids play area with a Navy theme. If you want to learn about the Bremerton Naval facilities and Naval history, this is a wonderful place to visit. The staff is very nice and accommodating which adds to the experience.

This place was really neat! It was so much bigger than I thought it would be. The gentlemen at the front entrance gave us an overview of what there was to see inside the museum and some of the highlights. They also mentioned that there was a plant seed give-a-way going on that we might want to check out. There was just so much to read about and such a great display of pictures, diagrams, actual pieces of ships, models, movies, and recordings of history. I really enjoyed our visit and picked up some plant seeds to start a garden. What a bonus. Their gift shop was super cool too and had a lot of fun and interesting things to buy. The prices were very reasonable and the guy who was running the store was so funny and friendly and had some great stories. I learned so much during this trip and I am glad I went. It is very family friendly and people of any age would find something interesting here. I would highly recommend it.

Lots of interesting reading about history of the navy in the exhibits. The museum is quite small - a two-floor house - but well packed with content. Right next to ferry terminal if you are coming on foot.

This FREE museum (donations accepted and encouraged), is right next to the Bremerton Ferry Terminal and surrounded by the amazing Fountain Park (with “exploding” or “erupting” fountains in multiple wading pools. It has 2 floors of exhibits and is staffed by retired navy vets. There are lots of exhibits on the history of the shipyard especially during the world wars. It also has an exhibit on the future potential of 3D printers uses on ships at sea. There is a small children’s area on the first floor where kids can play. Many of the exhibits are photographs or equipment behind glass so it may not be super fun for little ones (except the play area). If you are waiting for the ferry between 10am-4pm you can easily squeeze this in in about 30-45 minutes.

Pretty cool free museum. A lot of pride with their displays and knowledgable volunteers. The sub and aircraft displays are very insightful. The park area behind the museum is also nice and peaceful and a nice place to take in the water.

Actually better than i was expecting. I served on an aircraft carrier that was stationed in Bremerton. Getting to show my family the actual rack layout and how it was clinging to get into and out was enjoyable. Very friendly staff. I really enjoyed the exhibits.

Not an overwhelming museum, but there are lots of nice displays on Naval History and the role of the Bremerton shipyard. Friendly, helpful staff, and it’s FREE or by voluntary donations. It’s also a short, easy walk to the USS Turner Joy, a US Navy destroyer ship that was part of the Gulf of Tonkin incident in Vietnam, August 4, 1964. We are planning a group visit in June for our antique British car club.

This place was really well done. Lots of interactive displays and scale models. Lots of great and detailed information. I really liked all of the pieces that were on display that people actually owned and wore. Kid friendly too!

Updated 05/20/23: I had a great chance to visit the museum again. The senior citizens up front are super helpful and amazing. They have locker rooms for your bags, and backpacks in front. I love coming back and back to this historical museum to re-learn about our awesome memorial history.This museum is above what I expected as a historical location. I had a lot of fun and an exciting journey to learn and discover sailors’ life and the establishment of the shipyard in the 1890s and contemporary world. There is no admission fee to enter, and its location is close to the ferry terminal. Everyone can check it out quickly when waiting for the ferry. I have been here two times and still feel great not only the museum’s contents but also the staff’s hospitality and friendliness.

The kids loved the museum (ages 4 and 7). We spent about two hours exploring and learning. The kid’s especially loved playing in the science room with the machines and robots! They had fun playing dress up in the galley as well! Great museum!

I'm a navy veteran and learned about the museum while planning my trip to Bremerton. The ferry ride was amazing and the scenery from Seattle to the islands was breathtaking.

Nice museum we visited on a rainy afternoon. We arrived about 45 minutes before close. There were two floors of exhibits of which one talked about the town history and the shipyard which made it what it was. The other talked about the different ships it built and how each one was important to the war and what it did. Staff was quite helpful and informative. We were through the museum in 45 minutes.

Small local museum about the Navy and the Bremerton shipyard. Free admission. No onsite parking. Street parking and parking garages. Be careful not to enter the ferry terminal only lanes. There is a scavenger hunt for children and adventurous adults.

Highly recommend coming to the naval museum. There's lots of interesting information about the history of our Navy and this particular location as well. Very detailed exhibit on life aboard an aircraft carrier real examples of equipment and accommodations. The staff was kind and helpful.

This museum is pretty cool! So wonderful to explore the ship and get to see what it looks like. I love the fact it is right next to the Water taxi dock. The gift shop is cute. Looks at hats and t-shirt options. The entry fee seems pretty reasonable. Note, any charge via cc there will be a fee. Is better to be paying with cash. They do offer a discount for seniors and youth. The ship is 418 feet and she retired in November of 1982. I think is worth the money to tour this one.

Tickets for adults - $18. It was truly a new experience for me to step inside a ship that had been through the Vietnam War and been to Russia as well. The rustic smell inside can be uncomfortable but the history was amazing to learn about. The bunk beds were small and I still cannot believe the max occupancy of this ship is 275!Highly recommend for explorers out there!

The self-guided tour gives you plenty of time to explore the open areas on your own time, which is good because there is enough to learn and see to spend hours and hours here! We enjoyed the history, intricate engineering, and sobering reality of the comforts our forces leave behind to defend freedom. Highly recommend!

We had a great experience here. There was very few people there, which made it comfortable moving about tight quarters without getting into peoples' space. The volunteers were so kind and encouraged us to ask questions. There were bottles of hand sanitizer scattered throughout. There were also bathrooms onboard, which was great. The air is dry and musky, so if you're prone to nosebleeds, bring tissues, and bring a jacket as it is cooler below deck. Great experience!

Self guided tours or with volunteer guides. The placards explain the different equipment, so for people unfamiliar with themachinery can understandthe uses.As a retired Navy man of 25 years, mostly on destroyers (tin cans), memories came flooding back.Be aware that with traversing the ship, steep ladders are throughout. For those of us who may have mobility issues, would find it difficult to get around the ship.You can make the ship's horn blast, by pulling the rope on the bridge (wheel house).Official announcementsare made over the ship's speaker system (1-MC).The announcements are the same as when the ship was active! It was amazing to me to hear, "Sweepers, sweepers man your brooms, give the ship a clean sweep down fore & aft...".The gift shop is very well stocked, with reasonable prices. A wide range of items and prices, so that no matter the budget you'll walk away with a souvenirfrom the Turner Joy (DD-951).I was aboard the USS Black (DD-666), after the attack on the USS Maddox & USS Turner Joy, the Black was their relief in the Tonkin Gulf.Fair Winds and Following Seas, Your Shipmate.

I love to search on my own on this ship. It was an incredible and adventurous journey on this self-guided tour throughout the ship. You should call to check the opening hours since the hours in Google Map are not correct. I will come back some days. From Seattle with love

Great experience. Little difficult for young kids and elderly with the ladders going to each level of the ship. It’s an amazing attraction and the staff are very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

If you're a Naval history buff this is probably fascinating. But as a civilian without a particular interest, I found it disappointing. Though there is information posted throughout the ship about things like semaphore and machinery, they're pretty dry. Something like a through line describing the daily life of a crewman or an officer would be a lot more fun for the average visitor. Also, in order to reach most ship levels it's necessary to go up very steep stair/ladders, and there are no alternatives, so it's definitely not accessible for those with mobility issues. For the price ($18 per ticket for adults) it's not well curated or in great shape, unfortunately.

What a cool experience! This destroyer has some neat history tied to the US involvement in the Vietnam War, and it's well worth a visit!You get a self-guided tour of nearly the whole ship with signs explaining much of what you are seeing and experiencing. Do know this is not a quick stop, and to get the most out of the visit, you will need to be able to climb up and down narrow ladders and stairs. On the day we visited, we were a former crew member volunteering in the galley, answering questions, and talking about his experience on the ship - Doug was great!The POW section with its stories was an appreciated addition, and I found it fascinating.It can get pretty spendy for the whole family but one thing is that your tickets are good for the whole day. So we did half of the ship and then left and got lunch and then came back and finished. That was a great way to do it, and it kept the kids from being overdone.Highly recommend, especially if you are interested in US History, the US Navy, and/or the Vietnam War.

Love it! You can really explore, and they made improvements to help the experience. The exhibit on the prisoners' experience in Vietnam is very interesting. There is parking nearby. We parked in the multi-story lot. There is also a small shack on the dock with snacks if you are hungry.

Fascinating self guided walking tour of this ship. It's amazing that people lived and worked in these cramped spaces for months at a time. The tour is physically intense for people who aren't in the best shape and for small kids. So many stairs...I recommend taking this tour to anyone interested in somewhat recent US military history.

TL;DR If you're a history nerd or a naval nerd, check it out.This is a self guided tour of the Naval Destroyer class ship, USS Turner Joy. The tour can go as long or as short as you want, but I took about 1.5 - 2 hours to get through the whole thing, and I took my time. The ship itself has an incredible amount of history that is laid out well within each station. It is not friendly to anyone with mobility issues if you plan to explore anything beyond the main deck level. Additionally, there are no water fountains, and only one bathroom onboard, so go before you embark. Internally, there are a lot of unique things in this ship, like how it was both the first and last ship to engage enemies in Vietnam, and lots more that you'll learn as you wander the internal labyrinth packed with information. The USS Turner Joy is a great way to spend a morning or afternoon.

Great place if you want to learn about the battleship and don't mind small spaces but the space on the ship is often very small so some might feel trapped. Also it's a must that you wear comfortable clothes to move around in, since the ship has 5 floors but the stairs are very steep and narrow. But overall a great experience!

This is so cool! It's a self-guided tour of a good-sized naval ship. You get to learn about how the ship operated, how the crew survived, and some of the ships history in combat. Definitely worth taking the time of day to do this tour!

Loved it! It was my son 3rd birthday the day we were there! It was mid week and we were there shortly after the park opened. Everything was amazing and we had a blast! The children's playground was pretty magical with a little creek running through and plenty of places to climb! We did the drive tour as well and got to see even more animals! We will definitely be going there much more often now!

Our family had a great time on our Mother's Day visit! We did the drive through adventure and got to see several animals along the way. The tour guide was really informative and made the drive really enjoyable. The park was fun too. It was a really hot day, but there was plenty of shade to keep us cool. Lots of animals out and about, our kids really likes the bear exhibits the best. Only bummer of the day was the Kid Zone didn't have the water feature on, which would have been nice on the hot day. Otherwise, an overall fun day and we look forward to visiting again in the near future.

Great for family and especially KIDS. I had a blast as a solo traveler. I went to attend the "wild drive" driving tour. This tour was great. Saw all 7 wild animals they had to display. This tour is great if you have an amazing zoom in camera because some animals are really far. One thing i wish is we could've stop our car to take good steady pictures. On the tour you always moving around 5 mph. Tour guides are very knowledgeable and throw a few jokes in. Ill def come back again.

Great way to spend the day. Make sure you plan to go earlier in the day because you're ticket will include both a driving tour (about an hour) and walking around the park for your entire car (around 8 people i believe). The trek around had one steep incline but had greatly placed benches all around the park. Not sure this place would be that fun for younger kids as many of the animals are harder to spot, but my 11 year old enjoyed it.

We went April 9th with our 2 boys 3 and 6. we did the 10 am wild tour. The girl that did our drive was amazing. She knew so much info. She talks the whole drive about how it started and about all the animals. I loved her. Then we went inside and did the whole tour inside. 10/10 for sure and will go back. I recommend if you go to go early spring or late fall when it cools down so you see more animals. Its a better cost to pay the $90 that gets up to 8 people in for the tour and the entire park.

Very relaxed visit as there were no crowds. We saw a few animals on the driving tour but not real close. Walking through the shady paths was nice on this 80 degree day but apparently animals are more visible on cooler days. The 6 year old in our group didn't have any trouble walking through the park and enjoyed Child Trek, a kids play area, complete with a small stream to walk in, barefoot of course. Benches available for watching adults in sun and shade.

We did the Wildlife Trek and the zoo/park area on our visit with my mom, my 6 year old, my husband, and myself. Each of us absolutely LOVED it! Somehow we went on a day where almost every single animal was out and active (first rainy day in awhile, if that helps)! The animals were so cool and the trek was absolutely worth it! - Things to Know: •For the trek, buy tickets in advance and show up a tad bit early! Plan your drive accordingly with traffic and possibly road work (which we ran into). •Parking is free for the zoo/park area. •Bring comfy shoes if you do the zoo part as it's quite a walk (but absolutely gorgeous). •If you do the trek, tune into the radio station they tell you to. Lots of info and lots of directions for keeping you and the animals safe. •Look ALL around on the trek! We saw animals everywhere, not just the main focus ones being talked about at the time. •Give yourself time! If you do the trek and the zoo, give yourself time for it all. •Be prepared to see some cool animals! A lot of the animals were "up close" than I've seen at other zoos. •Go into the buildings that are there/open (wolf viewing, kids area, etc.). •Plan out bathrooms (they're all over, but also spaced out). •Be careful where you stop under the Bald Eagle area (bird poop and all that). •There is a bear viewing platform that is amazing! •The cafe is small but good! •The kids park area is pretty big, but super fun!

The ride along (car train tour) is So worth the price, and it INCLUDES getting to go into the zoo itself! This place FOCUSES on conservation, and better relationships with the land we live in and the animals we share this land with! Please please please consider coming here! It's so cool and informative!!!(I ended up with So So So many videos and pictures of all kinds of creatures, but I think what is super important is to show all the plaques and signs in the zoo, they're educational about the plants, the woods we live in and the different habitats and education on the animals they have there!)Our lead for our driving tour, I cannot remember his name right now, but he was SO SO GOOD! 🙏🏽🧡He said he used to visit this zoo/park when he was a child and now he works there, educating on the animals and the land, and he said it felt like he's gone full circle. And I Love that. Thank you so much for sharing you knowledge, we WILL be coming back again!

Did the driving tour, and it was enjoyable. Saw almost everything but 1 species of animal. The moose were "babies" but still gigantic. Hard to take photos as you can't stop. Pricey for just 2 people in the car. You can have up to 6 but it's the same price regardless.Afterwards, went inside and walked around. Most of the animals were out.The 2 black bears got into a little scuffle when the little one was drinking the water, walking back to the other side. The big one then chased the little one off after.

Love being able to see local nature. The kids area is awesome now. So much to climb on and slide down. The kids had a blast and all but 1 animal was open out in plain sight. Such beautiful creatures!

We are season pass holders for NWT and have been for two years. We definitely get our money's worth. We go 2-3 times a month. It's a nice change of pace for walks. The play area is a highlight too! I recommend allotting time for the kids to play there! All of the animals are so well taken care of. They do enrichment and extraordinary enclosure maintenance for the animals.The tram still isn't open which is a major bummer, but they will give you a free ticket for when the tram is open if you ask about it. The new electric tram is scheduled to open Spring 2023. ☺️

This truly is a great experience but I was very disappointed that we could not take the bus ride around the park to see the Bison and Elk, etc. That's the main and best part in my opinion and it's currently halted until some electric bus thing is installed.They should have some way to still do this until the electric bus is installed.Outside of that, it was a nice trip. Most of the animals were out. The cats were still sleeping though. We went from 10am to 1pm. Kids really enjoyed the play area and the food is no badly priced.

This is a great experience and in a beautiful setting in the shadow of Mt. Rainer. I hadn't been here in several years (10+) and I was happy to see it was just as good. Like any drive through wildlife park where the animals are free to roam, what you see is hit or miss because the critters are free to do as they want. We did manage to see a lot of elk, some deer, a few bison, and a couple sheep (the last two weren't even spotted by the guide).The walking exhibits are also good to see and while still in a very natural setting, are more visible than those in the driving area. It's a great experience for kids and adults alike. It's about a 3.5 hour drive for us, so we likely won't be back for another 10 years or so, but still highly recommend it (it's worth the trip at least once).

We paid $90 for the driving tour. It was a little underwhelming, but cool to see the animals right there. I got to take some nice pictures of the animals during the ride. Having the radio tuned to the host was really good, she gave a lot of good information during the trip, but maybe next time she should get more sleep. I have never heard a presenter yawn so much before...anyway, I found out that $90 also gave us entry into the zoo. This was a nice surprise and made it worth the $90-to do both things. The zoo part has the animals I looked forward to seeing as well. Just remember, the animals like to take naps as well! Sucks to see the wolf sound asleep but he/she needs his rest. I wish the areas the animals are kept in were bigger, but I guess that is the best that can be done.The staff is very friendly and I am glad we stumbled on this place while out driving. Not sure if I will go back, but it doesn't hurt to see this place at least once. The staff I interacted with seem to really care about their jobs and sharing their animal knowledge with us.

First time I've been back in about 15 years. Honestly, I don't love seeing caged animals, but the animals at NWT are either being rescued, restored, or protected, which makes it much easier to enjoy paying to view them. The only animal we didn't get to actually see was the Wolverine. We will definitely be going back. We walked through the animal park area and then did the Wild Drive. Great place for families!

It is beautiful! The sights themselves are amazing and even better with the animals! The tram is wonderful. You get to ride around and look at elk, moose, bison, and more! Then you get off the 5 you get to see the bear, wolves, cougar, bobcat, lynx, and so much more it's an amazing experience and an amazing place to visit!

Overall not a bad experience, about an hour’s drive for me $20 entry fee per person. I will go back for the driving tour someday,$110 for up to 8 people in your car

Purchased the combo household membership so we can visit this zoo plus the point defiance zoo unlimited for a year! They do offer 10% military discount but you must buy in person. Credit and cash only, no tap to pay.Took the jeep tour and it was amazing. Lots of information and saw so many close encounters.Would highly recommend!

The zoo was amazing. Do note that it is a small zoo, so if you go, keep that in mind. But the exhibits give you a great view of the animals and the staff are amazing.I did the drive-thru tour where you drive your own car. It was $110 for my car, which at first I thought was a little expensive. But then I learned that includes allowing ALL people in your car to enter the walking part as well.I was very happy and felt it was worth it for the family to enjoy the day at the zoo!

This was a great experience. 6 out of 7 species on the drive and a cool walk around the habitats to see predators and small animals. The lead car/tour guide was very cheery and kept the caravan involved. Will go gain.

I love coming here. It's smaller than Point Defiance, but still has a good amount of animals. There are a lot of beautiful trees, flowers, and other plants.The walkways are mostly shaded, so it doesn't get too hot or risk sun burns. There's a great play area for kids when they're done looking at the animals. We only had the fries and ice cream, both were good.

We went on the cider tour and it was great! It was a beautiful ride both to and from the museum. We had first class tickets and were able to experience some cider tastings on board!The gluten free food options and the quality of the food was not the best. But the museum, train ride, and cider more than made up for it. Plus they sell snacks at the museum!

Sadly this was closed when we decided to visit, it was still nice to check it out.

I had an absolutely wonderful time here! My husband and I rode a train pulled by a steam locomotive from Elbe, Washington to the logging museum in Mineral, Washington, where we learned all about the history of logging. Oh, and not to mention seeing some beautiful views!I would definitely go with first-class again. It's well worth $54 per ticket. They'll give you snacks, drinks, alcohol, and a really nice water bottle. I might also mention that all the cars are air conditioned and heated.

It was amazing trip! Not too long, pretty comfortable, absolutely enjoyable. Highly recommended!

TOTALLY WORTH IT!!! We were looking for something fun and memorable to do for Christmas, and this was definitely it. The staff is incredibly friendly, and go above and beyond to accommodate to make the make the ride special for everyone. The train is decorated for Christmas, and the route that is taken is gorgeous. If you are looking to make an awesome memory with your family I highly recommend making it with the Mount Rainier Railroad!!!

Fun train ride. Great, friendly staff. We went on Peanuts and the Great Pumpkin day because it fit our schedule and we weren't interested in wine day. Only critisizim is the train should have slowed considerably at the one brief opportunity to view Mt Ranier. No opinion on the food because we brought our lunch. A fun day and we had perfect sunny weather. Nice museum.

Really nice place to hold a private event. In the town of Mineral, the only way in is the Mt Rainier Steam Railway. Event content and age can be controlled. We did Oktoberfest and no one under 21 was allowed to attend. Even with attendees policing themselves, staff was on top of checking ID and making sure everyone having the beer was supposed to be there and safe. There is a really scenic event ground at the town that you need to go through the rolling stock to get to. There are several Ales to Rails events per year as well as a Charlie Brown Great Pumpkin Ride and a Polar Express at Christmas. All are well worth the trip for the age appropriate audience.

Definitely a good time wonderful workout as well, staff are fun and friendly and they tell funny jokes.

My boyfriend and I rode a locomotive steam in Elbe, Wa. for his birthday. We had the best time. So much fun, staff is friendly and fun, and lots of beautiful sights.Highly recommend 12/10

If you are near, it's worth the ride. If you plan on driving 3 hours, then no. It's not worth the ride. Let me explain below.The train itself is beautiful, inside where you sit ( the last two cafts) are kept clean and the seats are not too bad for the hours ride you'll experience. the front two carts have no seats. The first one is wide open, with no windows or seats, but it's a great cart to look around and see what you are passing and etc. The next cart, after that, is your food cart/gift ship. The SNACKS and drinks are pretty well priced. It was not expensive, in my opinion. Follow by the next cart and last cart, which is all seats. Now you'll see Mount Rainier. You'll also see the same mountain as you drive up to the train station. If you are coming from the East of WA, North East, and South East. Your view of the mountain is 100 times better from the drive than the actual train ride. You spend the majority of the looking at trees and maybe a small stream. The mountain part is like 3 minutes, and you'll have to be seated on the right side of the train to see it. You'll get a 2nd chance as the train goes in reverse.... yes, it's a party they go 40 Mintues out, and then the engine detaches from the train, then goes past to connect to the 4th cart. Then they throw it in reverse, and you go down the exact same track. This isn't a scenic view of Mount rainier.... it's just a scenic view, then Mount Rainier pops up for 3 minutes.If you want to see the mountain. I would just drive to the mountain itself and take your photos or find scenic views on your path through WA state.Now, if you have kids and/or just love trains. I recommend this ride. If you are just doing it for the mountain.... then I wouldn't recommend this at all.

We rode the Holiday Timber Train. It was a fun, festive 75 minute ride to Mineral and back. With clear skies you could see Rainier at the river crossing which was great. You’re able to move between cars and look over the half doors which is a cool feeling. The individual windows on the train open as well. Very popular with kids who all having a great time.

Had a great time. They are coming back after the pandemic so the train are not fully restored but I was comfortable and enjoyed the ride. Great activity to do with the whole family. Can't wait for the museum to open up.

We took the scenic whiskey train, it was a blast. While the whiskey was ok, the experience was a lot of fun! The ride is a great short trip and the venue was nice. The live band was pretty good and the service was very good! Definitely recommend this trip! They also have family friendly trips too!

Complete waste of money. Not worth it. The name says scenic, but it only showed thick forests, i was thinking it to have great views of Mt. Rainier (as the name suggests)

Great experience with family. My son is autistic and he enjoyed the trip.

Easter train ride. A boxed brunch (a nice variety of foods) and a beautiful train trip through the woods and farm lands to Mineral and back to Elbe. Spend some time in the open air car to get the full experience of being on a steam train with the whistle blowing!!

Amazing experience. Each and every person was super friendly and they even waited extra few minutes for one of the group. You can see my rainier, river, horses, etc. A must visit if you have kids and you are near by.

A truly memorable experience! I only wish the ride was a little longer, it felt short because it was an out and back trip. I would still not miss this opportunity. Great for families!

I LOVE coming here. It's free admission, but they take donations via cash or card. They always have different local artists displaying their work, and all of their work has been phenomenal. The work they display is emotionally impacting and even though it's a small museum, the work they display is intriguing enough to where I've spent a good amount of time reading about their work. The people that work at the museum have a lot of knowledge about the artists as well, which is great since they helped provide insight on the artists' work.

The Bainbridge Island Museum of Art is a must-see for art lovers and curious visitors alike. The museum houses a diverse collection of contemporary art from both local and international artists, including paintings, sculptures, photographs, and mixed media works. The exhibits are carefully curated, and each piece tells a distinct story that both inspires and captivates the viewer. With its sleek and modern design, the museum building itself is a work of art. The spacious galleries and natural lighting provide a relaxing and enjoyable viewing experience. The staff is welcoming, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about art, and they offer excellent advice and insight into the exhibits.One of the museum's highlights is its dedication to showcasing the work of emerging artists. The museum is dedicated to supporting and promoting the next generation of artists, and its rotating exhibitions ensure that there is always something new and exciting to see.The Bainbridge Island Museum of Art is a hidden gem that provides an unforgettable art experience. This museum is well worth a visit, whether you are a seasoned art lover or a curious beginner.Nice place in short.

Beautiful art works from artists who are present in their galleries. Awesome to have met such great artists in my life. The creativity and their perseverance make one think how can they do something as beautiful as this art. Truly an amazing place to spend couple of hours. Must visit.

The Cory Bennett Anderson Heroes exhibit was on display here when we visited. It was a great exhibit that took up the entire 1st floor. It's a small museum, but the exhibits on display are unique. The museum is free and the staff is very friendly.

If you are visiting Bainbridge, drop by this museum. It's free to visit and it's quiet. There's interesting indigenous art. One of the curators demonstrated the movement of the masks for us. There is modern and pop art, which gives you a range of styles to enjoy.

Nice exhibits. Just the right number of things to see in one visit. Also, the museum store was unusually nice and there is a small cafe with a limited selection for lunch.

Free entry! Donations are recommended.A wonderful small museum that features local artists. Exhibitions rotate regularly.Time spend here was about 30 minutes.

Beautiful building that is also LEED gold. The art is a mix of local and special exhibit, definitely worth visiting if you take the ferry over from Seattle to Bainbridge it makes for a nice way to spend the morning!

Although relatively small, entrance is free! Artworks are awesome and unique, a lot of mixed media pieces. It is located right in front of the ferry terminal road.

Nice little museum. They rotate their exhibitions three times a year, so you'll see different ones every time you go.

What an amazing museum... and free! This museum was much much better than I was expecting. Beautiful displays of all types of art. Very well taken care of building and restrooms, and very courteous staff. This is a must see if you are in the area.

It is a museum with very good architecture, it is completely free. I liked the layout of each exhibition room. Every year they put on new exhibitions according to the season or a particular artist. and at the end it has its gift shop.

Free modern museum plus friendly staff? Automatic 5 stars! Definitely add this to your Bainbridge Island itinerary.

EXCELLENT ATTRACTION TUCKED AWAY ON AN ISLANDI was only going to take the ferry from Seattle and back again, but thought I'd not waste the trip and spend the time between ferries wandering around Bainbridge Island. My first stop, after walking up from the ferry, was this place. It's perfectly located to catch your attention, then having free/donation entry meant that frugal me had to pop in and have a look.I'm glad I did. It's an eclectic mix in a beautiful building and the gift shop is worth a browse.

This museum was so great! I'm so glad we stopped in during our day on Bainbridge. My partner is colorblind and when we walked in, we saw a sign advertising their free color blind corrective glasses rental program for folks who wish to use it during their visit. I've been to many art museums but have never seen this offered! I was blown away by the thoughtfulness. My partner got to see everything in vivid color for the first time! We were happy to explore the 2 floors, and while it was a fairly small museum, everything was really nicely curated and we spent a solid 1.5 hours or so looking at everything. There is even a cute cafe (though we didn't try anything) and it's located next door to a brewery that seemed popular. There was a parking lot available behind the museum, which was a relief given how busy street parking was!

Cool exhibits - partial on first floor, then on second. Donation based (no set price for entry) Cute shop too! Would recommend when visiting Bainbridge, close to ferry terminal & going downtown.

Amazing art museum. It was a unique experience for us. Although the entry is free, donations are welcome. I found about few artists which were new to me. Great work.

Bainbridge Island Museum of Art (BIMA) has fabulous exhibits that are free to the public. They also have an auditorium that you can book for events. Our bicycle advocacy nonprofit, Squeaky Wheels, recently hosted an author event w/ Seattle Bike Blogger, Tom Fucoloro and his new book Biking Uphill In The Rain. Cole, our BIMA rep, had everything ready and took care of everything we needed. The event ran seamlessly.

Absolutely stunning space and ambiance. Friendly staff. Free entrance but donations encouraged... easy to donate with cash or card at the desk, but not a heavy sell.

What a magical place! I am visiting Seattle from NYC on a budget, and this was one of my favorite activities. As a free/donation-based museum, I was pleasantly surprised by the vast, wonderful, and diverse collection of local artists. There are lots of beautiful and thought-provoking pieces of different mediums that take you on a range of thought + sensory journeys as you wander through. I particularly loved the art commenting on the effect we’ve had on nature and our connection with it. The book-making room was also very cool and unique, I spent so much time in there trying to read each intricate little piece! The museum is very well kept with nice bathrooms and great staff. There is also a lovely rooftop garden to soak up the sun. I am looking forward to coming back on my next trip to the PNW!

This place was fantastic and for $0 admission price you can't get a better experience. Be sure to donate if you enjoy yourself (which you absolutely will). The variety and style of Bonsai trees makes for a humbling and enlightening learning experience. The trees are beautiful and the history is very interesting to learn about. One of the trees is 200 years old! Be sure to add this to your list of stops when visiting the Seattle area. 10/10 would recommend. You even get a different experience depending on the season in which you visit. Enjoy.

Admission in on an honor basis. There is a little credit card reader to make a $12 payment. Parking is free and there is a public restroom. A nice little walking trail around to see a few dozen plants with informational posters. Also a small greenhouse that houses another dozen or so plants.

I actually reviewed this along with the Rhododendron garden. The two are side-by-side, and best done in a single trip.The bonsai trees are wonderful - perhaps the best I've seen and displayed in an uncluttered museum-style. Two were seasonally spectacular - a rhododendron bonsai in full bloom (so a warm pink all over) and a wisteria also in full purple bloom. The museum puts bonsai in the context of the incarceration of Japanese-Americans in WWII. It's very well done. Though the museum is free, there's a suggested donation of $10 per adult.

Oh this was cool.It is a recommended donation sort of museum.It is all outdoor.I think I went at not the best season, but I still really enjoyed it.There is at least one bonsai there with a know age older than the USA.Really cool.Kids and adults can enjoy.

A beautifully curated exhibition of bonsai trees over the decades. Amazing to look at miniature forests and flowers and fruits. Great historical information provided as well. Donation based. Card accepted.

Perfection. The experience exceeded my high expectations! Even on the busy Mother's Day Sunday, there was plenty of (free) parking, and enough space in the garden to maintain social distancing.

The bonsai museum is amazing and it's worthwhile to read the information on each piece and possibly find a bonsai your age. It is mostly outdoors, so plan accordingly. These are all amazing pieces of work using a natural, living medium.There are two levels of parking, which is fantastic during the busy days. Donation is suggested and is made very easy using a "Dip" device at the end of the self guided tour.

I’ve been wanting to visit for a couple years and it didn’t disappoint. It’s a beautiful place with so many variations of trees displayed. I loved the placard with information about the tree. Highly recommended for anyone who loves the intricate details bonsai trees have to offer.

Lovely, totally enjoyed the Bonsai Garden. Plus, it's free, you may make a donation if you wish.Also, there is a Rhododendron Garden, there is a small charge. We did not go, due to the fact, none are blooming now.

Wow speechless and Artistic beautiful place I ever seen in this park museum. Incredibly amazing. Highly recommend I feel so much peaceful, calm, quiet and relaxed I was so much enjoying the fresh air and beautiful art Bonsai trees. What a nature beauty is attending the arts.! Great balance between trees, leaves and roots. Can’t believe it. I took the so many photos but pictures cannot show any bonsai’s real beauty. You must visit here and see it that your eyes. Never regret. They have public restrooms very clean.

I heard about this place a long time ago but I never went until today. It was a really nice family place to go! My husband and I both love bonsai and we really liked it here!

This is a wonderful outdoor museum. I loved looking at all the beautiful bonsai. The museum is very educational and I would recommend it to anyone living in or visiting the area. It was so peaceful and relaxing to walk around and look at the lovely bonsai.

Stunning collection of impressive Bonsai trees. It is free but there is a spot where making a $12 donation is super easy. Trees are beautifuly displayed, most have history and background.

Absolutely breathtaking museum!!! So many gorgeous bonsais to see! Kept very clean, all staff is so knowledgeable and absolutely so kind!!! Great place for everyone of all ages. Great places for pictures, Absolute Gorgeous views. Lots of information about each Bonsai as well, so it is a great place to learn! All outdoors. Parking lot is huge and free.

The size could be smaller than you might have expected, but the qualities of Bonsais created by masters would blow off everything. Also, its trail walks through the park were amazing to navigate.

Gorgeous grounds with ample walking trails and beautifully maintained grounds. It is a little off the beaten path and the employees I interacted with were admittedly not bonsai enthusiasts which was disappointing visiting a museum and wanting to learn more. The employees were friendly, however. This museum has free entry, but they do accept donations. They also sell some plants near their gift shop--and yes travelers, they can pack them for you to ship them home on the plane with you!

This is a cute bonsai garden we visited while my husband came to visit me on a work trip. Free entry and you have the option to donate$12/person. It's only open certain dates so go check the website before visiting.

This place is an absolute delight to visit. The walk from the parking lot to the museum is lovely and tree filled. Admission is free but donations are encouraged at the end of the exhibit.The variety of bonsai is amazing. I really enjoyed seeing them and reading the placards to learn more. We went when it was still winter but it was still very enjoyable to see.There is a small shop with nice books and various gift shop staples. This is also where you buy admission to the rhododendron garden. Also a very nice garden and much larger than expected.We definitely plan on coming back in the spring and fall to see the leaves. It's a lovely walk around many beautiful trees and plants.

Beautiful place to go! The curator was a great host as well. Learned a lot!

This is 100% a hidden gem. Don't limit yourself by only going on "nice days". The trees are gorgeous and the facility is well maintained and cared for. Bathrooms are clean. The hubs and I regularly come once or twice a month, then hop over to the main streets and check out one of the restaurants there. Makes for a great day date. The Bonsai Museum is paid for by donation only. At the end of the loop there's a machine that you can dip your card in and pay $12 if you want to donate. General parking is free with a huge parking lot a short ways down the road from the main entrance, across the street. There's a path from there to the entrance that starts at the corner of the parking lot, short walk to the entrance. There are also 3 handicap spots right by the entrance and a load/unload loop. The Bonsai Museum is handicap accessible.They share an entrance with the Rhododendron Species garden (also a great place to visit, $8/adult, lots of beautiful naturey stuff plus a sizable greenhouse and a plant store+gift shop).

Awesome class on Bonsai making! Really impressed with the experience and Bonsai displays. I now have my own Bonsai from the class and it is really pretty cool!Instructor was top notch and his enthusiasm created a new bonsai hobbyist in me. All around impressed. Nice facility.

This was a lovely venue to treat some CFM clients to. It couldn't have gone smoother. The food was great. We had our own area with our own bookie. And the food and service was great. Top notch

This place seems OK. I would suggest if you want to get a spot in the shade you get here at least an hour before the race is to have any chance in the free seats. We got our tickets buy one get one free through Groupon so I highly recommend that to save some money and just to let you know preferred parking is $10 but if you drive one minute past the track going north you’ll come to all the free parking and basically just keep driving until you find a spot so you don’t have to pay and it is an easy walk may be five minutes total .I’m not a big fan of horse racing or horse tracks to be honest, but seems OK. I am probably mostly here to see the wiener dog races today. 🤪

Great place to go with friends family or your kiddos. Entrance fee is cheap for a great day of fun. The staff is always very friendly and the food I’ve tried thus far has always been tasty. Placing bets is easy and if it’s your first time the staff is happy to guide you. Parking can be a bit far but they have shuttles that loop around fairly often.

September 11, 2021. Good times. 8 races and the relay races mixed in. Very good time.

beautiful venue. easy to access right off the main freeways I5 & I405. for summer visits, it gets pretty hot down below with no shade. the food truck lineup was pretty cool, nice selection of options.

Love Emerald Downs and betting the ponies. The $10 entrance fee is a bit high, but the concessions are reasonably priced. If the field sizes were bigger, I would give it 5 stars.

Fun Sunday with the family. Lots of families and children. Nice, safe atmosphere, no obnoxious people. Very nice. Very clean place, well laid out and lots of food and drink options.

Such a pretty view when sitting down! The building is large and spacey which is extremely helpful for when you hate socializing. (Me)

The best fun thing to do on a Friday night. 5 dollar Fridays! So exciting to see the horses run!

We attended the races on the last day of the season this year. Here's the pros and cons of our experience.First, the food selection was disappointing to say the least. I was under the false impression that they had upscale dining there, however, it was more like concession stand food, but worse - bleh!Second, it was my first time going to the races, so I had no idea how to place bets or what any of the betting lingo meant. They should have written instructions and explanations of betting terms in the racing brochure, and next to the betting machines at the very least. There was one live teller taking bets, otherwise, it was automated machines, again, with no instructions on how to use them.Since I didn't know the layout of the seating, etc, I purchased box seats to assure we had a good view of the track. That was a big waste of money. No one ever checked our tickets and most of the boxes were empty.Each box has four cramped seats and an outdated tv-like screen - all of which were dirty/dusty.I assumed the screens were for placing bets - wrong again. I had to walk quite a ways between every race to place a bet. It would've been a lot more convenient if those were touch screens where you could place your bets and order food/drinks to be delivered to your box - it seems logical. There was a tiny sliver of a place to put your food and drinks and no one came around to collect your garbage.Enough about the negatives. Here's the pros of Emerald Downs... despite the extremely cramped, dirty, inconveniently outdated, overpriced box seats, my kids really liked having their own little space to hang out. Despite having to walk a mile to get a drink, the drinks were shockingly descent, not overpriced, and the bartender was very personable. The women's bathrooms were pretty much empty, so no lines or smelly smells. The races were exciting, especially towards the end of each one. Further, it was interesting to watch the actual process of what they do before and after each race. It was also entertaining to watch the horses refuse to enter the gates - they had a designated crew just to persuade or literally push the horses into the gates. Sometimes they'd kick up their back legs and almost kick the guys.The kids liked helping me pick out the winning horses (based solely on which ones had the best names). I won almost every race, so that made it alot more fun and exciting. You can place very small bets like $2, $3, or $4. I ended up leaving there with more money then I came with. Despite the fact that the majority of people there were regulars, and/or between the ages of 60 and 90, it's surprisingly family friendly.All in all, we had a good time, and will most likely go again in the future.

Love it everytime i come down from Canada.Staff are so friendly as well as the locals and the track does a great job with promotions and having special days

What a fantastic place to bring the family, I have no idea how to even bet the horses, but we went there for mothers Day, and it did not disappoint. What I really liked is that it's totally family friendly, and their food is out of sight ( food trucks). we found stacks hand crafted burgers, and well, you can read my review with this place yummy. So if you're thinking of going out and doing something with the family, give this a try. Parking close was only 20 dollars, and to get in was very inexpensive. We will be back

Alot of places to sit and Fun to go with the family! They Sell drinks and Snacks/Hotdogs for the kids.

Was opening day weather not great but still had good time. Got a hot dog was not good. The hamburger looked yummy. Will bring something to sit on if I go back in bad weather and a umbrella

Beautiful horse track with amazing views of Rainier. There are lots of events every weekend throughout the summer and nice concessions. Of course, the horses and racing are also nice. Great way to spend a summer day.

I drove down South from Vancouver B.C.🇨🇦Was there for opening day this year 2024,the place was packed for the rain didn't bother no one.So many ppl were dressed up due to The Kentucky Derby Day happening.Great place&had a fun time.Just the parking was all full everywhere,but finally got parking&was bit of a walk.

Was a fun experience. Placed 9 $2 bets on the nose. Won 3. Would recommend bringing binoculars as seeing the far side of the track is difficult without them. TV screens help. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Excellent track. Great facility. Best nachos upstairs in the food court.

My first time at a racecourse. Great place to spend the evening watching horse races. There are a couple of kids related pony rides and a bounce house. Pretty well organized with ample parking (although general parking requires you to walk for 10 mins on an average). I recommend getting tickets through Groupon.

Really fun place to spend a Saturday or Sunday. It's really clean with plenty of room to walk around and watch the racing.

Went for my birthdayHad a blast really clean place lots of good seating and great food

First timeFamily visit on Exotic Animal daySchedule not specifiedGot there early ,still ended up parking in the back 40. On the plus side they have shuttles that arrive every 10 min,however we had a stroller so we opted to walk.They have closer parking for 10-20 $ cash only.Admission line was slow. Suggestion , buy ahead online.Easy entry for stroller, kids and handicap.$3 fee for Schedule.Staff are helpfulLines for food are long.10 to 20 min between racesRace track level is probably best for families with kids.I would reccomend sitting near the grass with kids so they can play and not be disruptive to others.If u don't have kids, box seats or casino!Food and beer are typical prices one would expect to pay at any event. Be prepared for long lines. Order in large quantity so u don't have to wait again.Lots and lots of food choices.Didn't bet , next time, without kids.

A must see if you are visiting Seattle! We went on a weekday (Tuesday) just after 2PM and there were no crowds, lines or having to wait around anywhere. There was ample free parking which is always nice and the area felt safe unlike most of downtown Seattle.It is important to note that if you are going a little bit later in the day, the pavilion aircraft wing has limited hours during the winter months. If you come too late and you see the other wings first, you will miss the pavilion exhibits.There are a large number of planes and aviation related exhibits in this museum. We planned to stay here for three hours and believed it was more than enough time but I personally could have used another two hours there.The friendly staff members, quality of exhibits, and the nice clean modern facility made the visit a pleasure for me.One of the wings (Red Barn gallery) was closed when we visited.I'll definitely be back in the near future.

Very well done, lots of detailed info for each airplane. Flight simulators to try if you wish (paid).The Apollo section was really cool too, glad we checked this out.A handful of ex pilots and staff here to really tell a cool story about their experiences. You don’t get that everywhere!Amazing

This place is an aviation fans dream.So much information on so many planes it is hard to take it all in.Make sure you allot enough time to see everything.We were there over Labor Day weekend so of course it was absolutely packed.I got to see an EA-6B .I worked as a civilian for years working on the radar jammer that was mounted on the plane. Really cool experience.Highly recommend.

Wow! Well worth the money. I spent over 3 hours here exploring the various exhibits and hangers. The world war exhibit was very well done with replicas of all aircraft used during the wars.One of the last 18 concordes was on display - unfortunately the walk through wasn’t available when I was there - it was for the 787, Air Force 1 and a few others.Plenty of expert guides were also available to share stories.

Wonderful museum! I didn't realize how many of the materials were real and historical and not a replication. Many people in wheelchairs so it seemed very accessible. We spent 6 hours there and didn't even read everything!The gift shop was very cute and there were many opportunities for gifts. This is a great museum for anyone if any ages

Very nice aviation museum. Most of the planes looked to be restored to better than new condition. Wide range of displays. Lots of walking, but not as much as at some other aviation museums I have been to. You can walk through a few of the passenger planes and get quite up close to most others.

This is a must see. So many incredible aircraft and replicas. Everyone who came with us was pleasantly surprised. Probably the best value for any paid exhibit in the city. Very very happy we came here. If you have any interest in planes or space, it’s a MUST see. Will recommend to anyone visiting Seattle 10/10

The Museum of Flight is an excellent way to spend your day. Whether you are an aviation enthusiast or just want something to do for a day, this is an excellent way to spend several hours. They amazing displays of aircraft and Boeing history, as well as aircraft from all eras to include the early 1900s to modern aircraft. There are many exhibits you can walk through and explore, this museum is especially informative for young adults and children. The staff was a very friendly and the facilities are immaculate. The Museum of Flight is a must-see.

A Mesmerizing Flight of Museum Experience for the Whole Family!Min 2-3 hours of time/exploration is needed to cover this whole place.We recently had the pleasure of visiting the Flight of Museum in Seattle with our family, including our four and a half-year-old kid, and we can't stop raving about our unforgettable experience! From start to finish, the museum offered a fantastic blend of education, entertainment, and awe-inspiring exhibits that kept us engaged and captivated throughout our visit.Upon entering the museum, we were greeted by friendly staff who warmly welcomed us and provided us with useful information about the different sections and activities available. The museum's layout was well-designed and easily navigable, making it convenient for families with young children.One of the highlights of our visit was the interactive exhibits, tailored perfectly for kids. Our little one was absolutely thrilled to explore the hands-on activities, where they could pretend to be a pilot, operate control panels, and even sit in a real co*ckpit. The museum successfully struck a balance between fun and learning, fostering our child's curiosity and imagination while imparting valuable knowledge about aviation.The collection of aircraft on display was truly breathtaking. From historic planes to modern marvels, the Flight of Museum showcased an impressive array of aircraft that showcased the evolution of aviation. The exhibits were well-maintained, and we appreciated the informative signage accompanying each display, which provided fascinating insights into the planes' history and significance.The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the flight simulators. Both kids and adults had the opportunity to experience the thrill of flying in a realistic co*ckpit environment. The simulators were equipped with state-of-the-art technology and offered an incredibly immersive experience. Even our little one was able to enjoy a simplified version tailored for their age, which they absolutely adored!Throughout our visit, we noticed the museum's commitment to creating a family-friendly atmosphere. There were dedicated play areas where kids could burn off some energy, and the staff was always on hand to assist and engage with young visitors. The facilities, including restrooms and dining options, were clean and well-maintained, ensuring a comfortable experience for the whole family.Lastly, we must commend the museum's efforts in accommodating families with young children. They provided stroller parking areas, diaper-changing stations, and even nursing rooms, which made navigating the museum hassle-free for us.In conclusion, the Flight of Museum in Seattle proved to be an absolute delight for our family. It provided an engaging, educational, and interactive experience that catered perfectly to our four and a half-year-old kid while keeping adults equally enthralled. We highly recommend this museum to families seeking a memorable and enriching outing in Seattle. We can't wait to visit again and explore even more of the wonders of aviation!P.S. Fist Thursday of every month is FREE 5pm-9pm

This is an underrated "must-visit place" in Seattle if you have kids and an aviation fan! This is one of the largest collections of airplanes in North America. The ticket rates are reasonable and parking is free. We spent almost 3 hours here and we felt our dollars were spent well in here. The kids live it so much!

I'm always going to do an aviation museum everywhere I travel. Always! Of course, I'm a pilot, blah, blah, blah. What set The Museum of Flight apart was the amazing way they brought ART and AVIATION together with their ART + FLIGHT exhibition. My second passion is art and I've never encountered such an offering. A pleasant surprise. So, back to planes! The staff there were plentiful and helpful. For me, a little too helpful as I like to walk, see, read and reflect in solitude but I appreciate their helpfulness and enthusiasm for aviation. The variety of planes is impressive the history of Boing was very interesting and they also have a WWI and WWII area. Parking is easy. I didn't eat there but they were plenty busy and it smelled good. I've never been to an aviation museum that I couldn't recommend so take my glowing review as one from an enthusiast.

Impressive collection of planes & very well exhibited. They have planes or models from the Wright brother's flyer to the space shuttle. Focused areas for WWII & WWII with some foreign planes that are 1 of a kind. Some nice hands-on activities, like landing the shuttle.

Huge museum with a lot of planes. Parking is plenty, I would not recommend taking public transportation here; is quite a long distance from Seattle. There is a lot to see and learn if you love planes. The best part is walking through the planes and seeing the inside without any seats. There was also a food truck in the airplane hangar with a couple tables so that you can eat amongst the planes which is pretty fun. I got a club sandwich and it was a normal sandwich so that means it was good.

A must museum to visit if you like airplanes and history. You can see and get into the aircrafts, understand the genesis of Boeing industry, interact with multiple items and enjoy learning about the industry. I strongly recommend.

This Museum is an impressive institution that offers a comprehensive exploration of aviation history. With a vast collection of aircraft, interactive exhibits, and informative displays, visitors can delve into the evolution of flight from its earliest beginnings to modern space exploration. The museum's well-curated exhibits cater to all ages and interests, making it a fascinating destination for aviation enthusiasts and families alike. Additionally, the museum frequently hosts special events and educational programs, enhancing the overall experience for visitors. Overall, the Museum of Flight in Seattle offers a captivating journey through the world of aviation and is definitely worth a visit.

This is an amazing museum! There is a lot to see.... the Space area is over a bridge on the other side of the road so don't miss that incredible exhibit! The Apollo exhibit is fantastic. We really enjoyed the war planes area as well. It's a great wealth of information and artifacts. We also came for Yuri's Night which was a super fun space party!!!Also, don't miss the gift shop! I got a bunch of fun things in there, including the little comet plush I did the photo shoot with. There is even Henry merchandise that matches the big Henry mural outside! What a great museum!!

Seattle being intertwined with Boeing only makes sense for it to have a strong aviation history and this museum is the perfect representation for it. It is very detailed and very well planned out. If you start from one end, you can literally walk through the advancements every step of the way and finally ending up to where aviation is today. Plan to spend 2-3 hours if you want to look at everything properly and read up as well. I had an amazing time here and would highly recommend giving this place a visit if you’re into Aviation even a little

Awesome place for those who get excited about airplanes.Has a small kids area for kids. I enjoyed the exhibits, especially the Vietnam Divided.The SR71 is awesome, there are other places too and a map is available.A food area exists for those hungry people, probably allot 2-3 hrs for a good tour of the museums.

This remains one of the best museums in the Northwest! We've been members for decades and they are still producing great exhibits. They have plenty of commercial planes as well as a number of military planes. They do a good job of presenting WWI and WWII as well as the space program. There are a number of interactive exhibits as well. It also traces the history of Boeing. You can walk through a Concorde, Air Force One, a 747, and a 787 Dreamliner. Very cool!

The Museum of Flight is an awe-inspiring destination for aviation enthusiasts and history buffs alike. With a diverse collection of aircraft and spacecraft, including iconic planes like the Boeing 747 and the Space Shuttle Trainer, it offers a captivating journey through aviation's evolution. Engaging exhibits and interactive displays provide a unique learning experience for visitors of all ages. The museum's well-preserved artifacts and knowledgeable staff ensure a deep appreciation for the impact of flight on our world. From the early pioneers to modern advancements, the Museum of Flight offers an unforgettable exploration of humanity's fascinating journey into the skies. It is one of the must visit destination if you are in Seattle.

One of the largest museums of planes I’ve seen. The collection is across the eras from WW1 to current aircrafts. Further, there are a lots of miniature models and the simulator here is amazing. Loved the experience as my employer had blocked the museum for an event, exclusive evening event was even more special. Buy tickets early and plan to wait 40+ minutes for simulator (go for solo, worth it).

If you like planes or aerospace this is the place for you it's a really good museum for all ages.A lot of history that keeps the kids and adults hooked up. Take a map and remember to go to all the areas so you can go inside the Air Force One , 747 and 787 airplane ✈️ you are going to enjoy it.

The Museum of Flight in Seattle is an aviation enthusiast's dream. From vintage planes to space exploration exhibits, it offers a comprehensive and engaging journey through the history of flight. The Airpark, featuring iconic aircraft, is a highlight, and the interactive displays provide a hands-on understanding of aviation milestones. Whether you're passionate about aerospace or just curious, this museum offers an inspiring and educational experience for all ages.

Oh gawd I expected to be so board at just another air museum. BUT, I loved it, great photo ops, good information, the airforce one and the concord being highlights for me. The space shuttle and so much good information , world War 1 and 2 planes and the prime information from Vietnam and all the spy drones . Even weather and tower information. Spend the day, it's worth the trip.

This is a great museum to visit with your kids or without, especially if you are an aviation enthusiast. The museum has a vast collection of historical airplanes, both indoors and in the adjacent outdoor pavilion. We had no idea that they have a free admission and extended hours on each first Thursday of every month. While our ignorance cost us a few extra $$, we were still able to enjoy the extra hours.

The museum of flight, we went there yesterday, April 15, 2024They closed at 5 PMsome of the area closes at 4 PMThey have merchandise, foods and drinks inside.There are also $10 fee if you want to try the actual fight and it is so fun! Just make sure that you are okay of spinning and literally upside down.The parking is freeThere are also a lot of movies, videos and information inside the MuseumMake sure to be at the museum early so you can enjoy all the planes and the whole area.

I usually only go on the free night they have once a month and the parking lot is always packed, but there is parking across the street.This museum of flight has a lot of airplanes and other trials of flight on display. It goes through the Boeing history in the barn, has a WW2 section, a couple areas of space exploration, and a bunch of planes you can walk through like an Air Force One and 747.It's all very informative and neat to see. They also have a cafe and gift store. During the day you can watch airplanes take off as you eat.

This is a true one-of-a-kind museum! It has something for from toddlers to the children at heart. Housing one of the largest private aviation collections in the US, everyone will find an aircraft or spacecraft to enjoy. Something truly great about this museum is that on the third Thursday of every month from 5 pm to 9 pm they have FREE admission! I recommend at least three to four hours here but even then you might not see it all.Plan accordingly for traffic and parking and keep a keen eye out for special aviation treats hidden in the museum.

Great place to see a living history of aviation. Thoroughly enjoyed the outing with my son and daughter-in-law. As fellow aviators, my son and I even got adventurous and took the P-51 flight simulator. It was a ball! Loved taking an album full of pictures of the many beautifully restored airplanes (a few below) and the info plaques ... truly a first class museum.

It's been a while since I've been here, and I remember thinking the museum was great when I was here previously. It has only improved since then. I was so impressed by what I saw on this trip, and I didn't even have time to see everything I wanted to. I'll definitely have to come back.I wish the museum had an outdoor plane spotting area on the third floor for taking pictures and video of the landing traffic at BFI.

This was such an epic museum. I love aviation, so I spent hours in here with my friends reading everything I could. I also got to speak to some of the staff (one of them virtually, he was really nice) and all of them were really passionate about what they were talking about. Some even had firsthand stories with the same planes in the museum (the same models, at least)!I can’t wait to go back because I didn’t realize there is a whole outdoor area to explore.

Had an amazing experience in this museum.The collection is vast (literally almost 200 airplanes) and well taken care of. There are signs with descriptions and explanations for every artifact. Besides that, it is also the birthplace of The Boeing Co., so expect to see a lot of history.Definitely recommend!P.S.: Admission is FREE 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM the first Thursday of every month.

Our group was well taken care of. Check in process was smooth (a gentleman checked us in, one of the front leaders, forgot his name but he was great. We also had the pleasure to have a private tour with Tommy, an aerospace industrial veteran who volunteers during the weekend at the museum. She was patient knowledgeable, kind, and definitely appeared to love doing what she does. Learnt different perspectives of the eras of flights and activities in aerospace. Great experience overall and well worth the price.

I came here on a Free Museum Day (first Thursday of the month) and it was crowded. The museum has a lot of planes and the gift shop would not disappoint you.This museum is kid friendly and is a great exploration for anyone

Went on New Years Eve with a party of 3. No wait. I can't believe I've lived here for over 20 years and never did this. It's amazing! Easily a 4hr plus trip and be prepared to need to rest if your not 20yo or younger. So much to see an do. Bring extra money for things like the virtual reality stations, they cost extra.Food is very expensive here so eat before you come. The gift shop has so much, we spent 30 min just in there.Kids will have an endless amount of things to do and see. I was disappointed that some of the big planes were closed so we could not go in them but there was still so much to do. Also, it's easy to miss the B52 Bomber outside, you have to follow a path to it and we were the only ones out there so I think many people missed it.Highly recommend! We will be back.

Very nice Casino down south. The facility is massive with tons of games to play. Open 24H. The food court serves breakfast all day so perfect after a long night. I didn’t like all of the smoking inside, haven’t seen that since the 90’s. Will return again.

The best Plenty of bathrooms over 3000 floor machines. Poker tables and more. Free beverages. Plenty of bathrooms. Live games on big screen tvs all over places to place bets on live games. Plenty of atms and machines to print free player cards

Very impressed!We enjoyed one of our complimentary nights last night. Room was larger than I expected, great surprise! Modern, technologically up to date, comfortable bed and seating for friends! Decor was nice and room layout was well conceived! Bathroom was incredible. Double sink with counter space, shower was awesome and separate toilet room with door. Overall the hotel is great! Staff was courteous!Only negative was the internet and cable TV. Both were unreliable!

Had a great one night stay on our road trip. Heading North I was hoping we would be far enough out of Seattle to miss rush hour and I was very wrong. Best to arrive outside those hours no matter what direction your headed. Once we arrived, found most of the EV chargers required an APP we as Canadians could not download with our Apple ID. Luckily, the one on the far end worked without the app as we were relying on getting a charge. You do walk through the casino to check in. Check in was a breeze. Friendly and efficient. We booked a king room with view of Mt Ranier and were lucky it was a clear day and we had a beautiful view. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Only complaint would be needing a softer pillow option. Shower was great. One of the best ventilated casinos I have experienced with large smoking and non smoking sections. Lots of dining choices but we arrived late so just grabbed a slice of pizza and beer and enjoyed a few hours gambling before bed. Would definitely stay again.

This casino was being remodeled when I went and it was still a great experience! . I was in town on vacation and decided to stop in for a couple hours. Played slots & won $200 right away so decided I'd take the winnings and have steak dinner. The drinks are priced well and the food was 5 stars! ⭐🍹 #Casino #Entertainment #co*cktail

Good fun. Slots are a bit tight. But my wife finally found one to pay out a little. Clean, bathrooms are clean . Restaurants have delicious food and good service.

The food is pretty good and inexpensive. I enjoy playing the games and then i head to the food court for a quick meal. The restaurants serve good food also. Every menu item is about the same price and you always leave full.

Very clean casino. Loved their restaurant, oue server, Deborah, was excellent, always there checking on us and so friendly. All the food was excellent, I loved my shrimp and crab Louie salad. My husband loved his shrimp and grits. The other 3 people with us enjoyed their food also. The restaurant was so clean and pretty looking. One of the best margaritas I have had. UPDATE JUNE 18TH 2023. Great food as always, went for Father's Day, up to 2:00pm you could get breakfast or lunch, then lunch only after 2:00pm so half our party had breakfast and half lunch. Deborah, our server, was excellent as always.

It's a casino. On a Friday night there is a lot going on. It's smoky. I went to see a friend's band play there. I had fun. The staff I interacted with were friendly and helpful. I didn't drink or gamble, but some of my friends did. Everyone had a great time. Three stars because it's a smoky casino where people lose money. If that's your jam then it's probably 4 or even 5 stars. Oh, the bathrooms were pretty clean. It's not like some places where it looks like a Sasquatch has been through there. They even have one of those smiley face button machines to ask you how clean you think the bathroom is. So if you want to push buttons on something and not lose money, they have that for you.

The new resort is beautiful with sleek, modern finishes and touches. While my friends and most of the guests used their comps since they frequent the casino as reward members, I decided to get a room to spurge on myself for my birthday. The luxury king was spacious and beautiful and the bed was super comfy. The shower was wonderful with the multi head sprays and large. Most of the staff I encountered were lovely, welcoming and friendly. The room did not have bath robes as advertised and the pool and spa were not opened yet at the time of my visit, I believe it was still their "soft" opening. I had to deduct a star for housekeeping knocking and trying to open my door at 9:30am after I told the woman I was still in the room and not ready to go yet, she said she would come back later. Later turned out to be at 10:10am when she knocked again. I totally understand that things are new, and they may be still learning the routine, but that was really not cool. I also had the "Do Not Disturb" button pushed so that it would indicate this on the door. I guess that went ignored too. Upon check-out I did make the front desk staff aware about this and while very nice and apologetic and even offering me a 15% off I never received it when I checked my credit card charge. I also never got my guest folio upon check-out as promised. I hope guest relations reads this review and gives feedback to the necessary staff to make a smoother process for future guests. I will definitely wait a few months before I come back, hopefully the next time is excellent. Otherwise the casino has plenty of games and dining options which we enjoyed. Big shout out to Ry at Restaurant 8 for taking good care of us at dinner. We loved the food and his hospitality.

Celebrated my husband's birthday, we had a wonderful time. Check-in was easy. Staff was friendly and helpful. We were greeted with a smile. Our view was a little disappointing for the room price. We were located at the end of the building, and our view was rooftops of businesses and trash compactors . We ate at several restaurants and the food was great!

11/18/2021The casino is under construction. So the parking lot is a small lot. The walkway from the lot to the casino entrance is confusing too. There are more games in the smoking section and the restrooms are very clean. No wins for my first time visiting. There are several self self beverage stations with soda and coffee. I had some Chinese food in the food hall. It was just ok.

I heard this is the biggest casino in WA. but nothing special, mediocre. Many slot machines but pretty much the same things everywhere. We had dinner in a restaurant and there was no tax charged which was great because the meal price wasn’t that cheap compared to other casinos.But the customers service and staff were nice.

This is our 2nd time coming out here. This time we ate at their asian restaurant called 8. Wow, the food was really good. Very good selection of Asian cuisine and sushi. We ordered a cup of egg flower soup, cucumber namasu, honey walnut shrimp, and tonkotsu. Afterwards, we played for a while. Over all, we love this casino and the atmosphere. I know crazy stuff has happened at this casino, but what doesn't have crazy things happen their right?Definitely can't wait for our next trip her :)

I come here for the food, they have reasonably priced food. They have an amazing ice cream shop. Can't tell you much about the other parts of the Casino. They do give you complimentary drinks(soda for me). They have a frequent players thing you can sign up for and receive gifts and free play money on your frequent player card. They have giveaways and so much more. Children can go to the ice cream shop or the deli, but have to stay on a designated path.

First time visiting this venue and skipped the casino and went to experience the wonderful tones and tunes of ZZ Top. An overall great time - easy parking in the garage and a quick elevator ride to the entrance. A smaller stage with very good sound and an enthusiastic crowd. Will definitely visit again and maybe even place a bet!

I was highly satisfied with the stay at the resort. The room was super nice and staff was nothing short but exceptional. The steakhouse is also worth checking out it was very delectable. I can’t wait to stay here again. 10 out 10

I travelled here from Calgary, Alberta (approx 12 hours of driving) and had a decent experience but I was shorted on a few things.The resort is beautiful, and the rooms are very nice. I was on the 14th floor and had a decent view. I did not have a Pendleton blanket on my bed as they advertise in every room and was slightly disappointed. I was also surprised to find out that amenities such as the pool and spa were not ready yet. The room was very expensive in my mind for such limited amenities. Check-in was fairly quick and I was lucky there was a room ready for me as there was a lineup of people waiting for a clean room at about 5:30pm which is 90 minutes after the check-in time.Drink service in the casino was decent however I could not get a drink after 1:30am and I was told that they served until 2:00am so there were several of us who got turned around at the main bar without warning.The bath robes in the room are super comfortable and the bathroom + shower were the best part of the room.When I departed Sunday morning, it was about a 30-40 minute wait to get my car in valet service as the lineup was extremely long and very limited staff.I would probably return here once the construction is complete and some of the kinks are ironed out. For now it’s 4/5 stars with some room for improvement.

Always have a great time here. Love that they have a huge smoking section and tons of beverages stations for self serve drinks so you don’t have to wander far looking. I’ve even won a jackpot there, and I never do that haha Looking forward to checking out the hotel one of these days.

I stayed here for a work event, overall the place is really nice, put together and clean. The games were fun and paid out enough to play all night. The worst part though was there was an awful buzzing in my room so bad I could hear it through ear plugs. I thought I would be able to sleep through it and ended up awake all night from it.

So I have some mixed feelings about this place. Love this place cause it’s a great environment. It’s cleaned regularly throughout the night. Bathrooms are clean, slots are cleaned. My favorite thing to do is play slots, I love the slots. They are always updating their games so they have the newest slots out. I don’t always win but I did the last time I went. Didn’t win much but it was enough to at least get my money back. One of my favorite go to games I always win at least my money back is Dragon Lines. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone who wants to have a great night out in a clean friendly and upbeat environment.

I wish I could say more about the hotel, but I didn't get up for the conference I went there for in time to get a room.The gaming room was great, and there is a good variety of food... I got a meatball sub at their pizza place that was AMAZING!!! Also ate a burger at another resteraunt that was great.The gaming floor was awesome, I found my favorite games in there, and found some new ones... it was a great time!Two thumbs way up from me!

I went to a bachelorette party here. I lost all my money but at least I got a cupcake 🤣But really the suite we were in was beautiful. Very modern and chic. The only complaint was that the room didn't have hot water for the two bathtubs but I suppose that is a new hotel ironing out the kinks.

My boyfriend and I recently stayed in the hotel for the first time since it opened. We waited for the pool to be open because that is my favorite part of staying in a hotel.Unfortunately the pool was just lame. Very small for the amount of rooms and seemingly no rules. There were a bunch of kids being loud, splashing, and having fun, which is totally fine, live your best life. However the kids that were eating pizza IN the pool, and even going as far as to float their paper plates on the water...not ok.The hot tub was luke warm, and also very small. The jets didn't work and there was cold water flowing into the hot tub from the bottom.The pool hours were also sad. 10am-8pm, with no adults only hours. Check out is at 11am so there is no time to swim in the morning before you leave, and there was kids in the pool until 8pm. At least reverse the hours (8am-10pm) and make the last 2 hours adults only.For a brand new expensive resort, I expected much better. I do not plan to stay here again, maybe if the pool hours change and include adult only hours. There are much cheaper places with much better pools.

The remodel of muckleshoot is absolutely beautiful.It's, it's now one of the best casinos in our area. And the biggest I think. The ventilation system is great.It doesn't stink at all, and the separation between non-smoking and smoking.It's great.

I love it here. Other than the cigarette smoke killing my lungs and having to wait way too long to be served drinks. The atmosphere is very ornate with hair from every demo-graph. Their tables are pleasing and poker machines of every color. I’m sure you will find one that fits ur fix.

Big enough that you can get lost. Impressive, everything is pretty new, all the bells and whistles. From the outside, the front entrance is not fun or welcome looking; it's more like what you would expect of a back or side door. But once inside the building there's a fun and exciting atmosphere with plenty to do. I came to check it out and - it's worth a visit !

Everything was wonder for Mother's Day weekend. The 19's restaurant was fabulous. The rooms were wonderful. My main complaint was the gambling, I spent $10,000 dollars and never won one jackpot. My friend spent $5,000 + and never one anything over 2 days. Very unusual for me . Are they just trying to pay off the hotel construction? Won't be back. Would rather go to Snoqualmie or Tualip. Management get a grip. Way too many complaints about the gambling floor for me.

I won $80 on Video Poker🤑 I wouldn't say it was a vacation, since it's only 20 minutes from my house. Just a night of gambling & dinner with my HOT "friend" Victoria. I can't comment on the hotel, since I forgot they had opened it. It was still under construction last time I was there, which was November of last year.🤘😎🤘

Money didn't go very far. machines didn't pay out at all. It was a very clean quiet atmosphere. Lots of machines and eating choices but with this being my 3rd time and not winning even a small amount I won't be returning.

This place was a random impulse spot I decided to check out with my family.. It turned out to be such an amazing garden to walk through! The trees and flowers were all so pretty! Best part was that it cost us nothing!! I'd certainly recommend to anyone looking for a scenic and casual stroll

What a gorgeous day to enjoy this Seattle treasure. My friend and I wandered with no agenda. Lovely discoveries were around every corner. Maps at the entrance if you want one. The park is bigger than you think, so it's a good idea to grab one if you're on a time budget.

This place is beyond beautiful! Full of flowers, trees, ponds, bridges, fish, and even a turtle. It was so relaxing and not overcrowded! There is no cost to visit and parking was easy. My child still hasn't stopped asking to go again a week later. Would recommend to anyone in the area.

a fabulous garden - really feels like a hidden gem. a peaceful retreat from the loudness of life, there are plenty of little nooks you can find to take a seat and just observe. free to visit, free to park! several picnic tables available as well as various benches hidden throughout for a quiet place to rest. I thought I wouldn't be able to find a restroom beyond the porta potties near the entrance, but I was relieved to see a fully functioning public restroom located closer to the exit.

Great for a midday stroll, but with some mild parking challenges. It's a fancy little Japanese foliage garden with a good selection of plant species.The garden is on a big slope and there are lots of layers in the foliage. The tall trees surround you with 360 degrees of quiet nature.I would have appreciated some plaques or pamphlets to learn about the different plants and sculptures, and their cultural significance.

So many trails, so many "rooms", so many passages... so many different experiences possible. I think you could come here a dozen times and have a unique experience each time. Amazing that it's free. Not the greatest Japanese garden but very nice. I'd plan to spend 30 minutes to an hour here. Donations accepted.

This is a pretty Japanese-ish garden nestled in a quiet neighborhood. I visited in Jan on a moody day.The little ponds with the Koi fish, small waterfalls and winding trails are a nice getaway for a few! I expect that the gardens look better in Spring, Summer and Fall! 😊 It is not a traditional Japanese Garden, but incorporates many of the features.The entrance is free. Most people we came across wore a mask. The parking is limited. And there are many signs saying car break-ins are a regular thing. So, don’t leave valuables in the car!!

It is a pretty neighborhood Japanese garden. It is free entrance. It is well kept and clean. They build restrooms and picnic table areas. There are many spots through out gardens. It is good size for a walk.

Beautiful and surprisingly large garden with winding trails and some steep parts. A huge variety of plants and it was peaceful when I was there. There are quite a lot of signs warning you to take valuables out of your car but I didn't see any break ins or have an issue while I was there.

A beautiful park that is larger than it seems. Multiple ponds, bridges, waterfalls/trickles, a wide variety of plants & trees, as well as a small forested area to explore. Many things to see no matter the season. Free to visit, but there is a donation box that I would recommend adding to if you're able.

If you want to de-stress, have some relaxing time or just want to have some great time with yourself, this garden is a great place to do these things. I appreciate the signs along the roads so that people cannot get lost. Again, it has beautiful scenery and falls

While I admittedly wasn't getting the Japanese feel this garden is supposed to have, it's still a very beautiful garden that you should stop at if you have the time. There are pamphlets up front to guide you through everything there is to see. If you stop to see everything, this could take up to an hour depending on how to get to the various scenic spots. Overall, it's worth a stop if it's convenient, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to see it.

Beautiful zen gardens transporting you away (mentally) from the city despite it being in the city. Very peaceful, lush, and clean. Me and bf went on a picnic date. Needless to say, it was a success. 10/10 would recommend!

Kubota Gardens in summer is a symphony of greens. From verdant light filtering though tall maple leaves, to the dizzying array of both carefully manicured and riotous evergreen specimens, this garden in summer offers peace as well as delight. Lean into your curious nature and let whimsy choose your path through these acres. Then come back in fall for fiery colors, and spring for hundreds of blooms. Each season here is guaranteed to offer new delights.

Beautiful and expansive free Park but a word of caution. The place is very large and the maps they provide you with are not very detailed. We finally had to ask somebody else how to get to the exit there aren't many trail markers. A great place to spend a few hours don't expect to get through there in any less time than that.

This is one beautiful park and a hidden gem of a garden! Beautiful trails are adorned by different flowers, plants and trees. The water features and ponds are great with plenty of spots to sit, relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

This was a great place to walk around and enjoy nature. The garden is beautiful and open to the public for free. There was a small parking lot (but there were open spots). I did note that there was broken glass so I suspect it’s best to leave valuables out of sight. There are public restrooms but they are currently closed for renovations. The fall colors are still vibrant. It was very peaceful and picturesque. There are no play structures but many fun places to walk and plenty to see if you are mindful.

This is an overlooked gem in Rainier View . A small but jewel-like park with a scrupulously maintained Japanese garden covering approximately 15 acres. While it looks small the artfully arranged paths allow one to walk through a series of small and large scenes and vignettes.We visited on a sunny-ish day in the dead of winter yet because of the preponderance of evergreen plants there is no penalty for the season.Parking is easy but the lot is not large though the few visitors made this a non issue.This is a great place to visit, wander, sit and just enjoy a superb little park.

Another beautiful botanical garden in Seattle. Easy walking trails and lots of unique plants here. Parking is free, but take your valuables with you, make sure your doors are locked, or at least make sure things in your car are out of sight. Dogs are allowed on leash and keep them on the trail per the garden’s policy. Bathrooms are available on premises. They even offer public group tours (reserve in advance online).

I come here frequently and it is one of my favorite spots in Seattle! The Kubota Garden feels vast, filled with little features and special spaces to discover.I feel rejuvenated after a visit! Lots of wildlife -rabbits, squirrels, birds, ducks, and more.

One of the prettiest parks I have been too & there are so many meandering walking paths - it's perfect for a long walk and having some quality conversations!! What I also loved that it's one of the few Japanese gardens that stays open till 8pm!! Perfect to chill after a long work day. This is also perfect for some photo-ops in any season - the tall pine trees, moonbridges, koi ponds and overall landscape make it seem picturesque & remote - whether it's spring, rain or show! Definitely recommend checking it out, next time you are looking to find some zen!

This beautiful garden is free (thank you community that is taking care of it). I was able to catch blooming season there and pictures don’t do justice to what you’ll see there . Visit if you’re in the area

I've been there a dozen times and still discover something new each time. So lovely. When things are in bloom, it is glorious, but the diversity and thoughtful placement of trees and bushes makes this a winning walk year around. A true hidden gem in South Seattle.

I'd love to have an afternoon walk if I have to choose one enjoying all the trees plants and zen mode , the garden is well maintained and lots of flowers and colors in all different seasons, you name it. It is really a hidden gem in Seattle. All kinds of maple trees and several ponds make you feel immersed in Japan .You can find peace and rejuvenation if you'd like to take a deep breath.

Amazingly pretty park. Well trimmed and had a large variety of native greens and also Japanese maple.A visit can take 30min to 1hr depending on the type of person you are.Would recommend for those traveling to or from SeaTac into Seattle proper.

In terms of Japanese gardens, it's not that special. In terms of having it in your neighborhood, it's fantastic to have. Many come here to walk their dogs or have walking exercises. The 2 bridges, the bronze bell with the Garuda etchings are special.

Definitely go on a clear day cause the colors are will be much more vibrant. I saw some cute bunnies there also. But the restroom is awful, it’s clogged.

Kubota gardens is a beautiful Japanese-style garden with koi ponds, waterfalls, mallard ducks, and vibrant and well groomed plants. Bring your dog on a leash and the whole family to stroll the sprawling 20 acres of delightful scenery, or have a picnic on the grass.There is a bulletin board just outside where you can pick up a pamphlet and make a donation. Public restrooms are available, although the last time I was there they were locked and only a porta-potty was available. There is no playground, but the kids are easily captivated by the park and will have a blast anyway.

9817 55th Ave S, Seattle, WA 98118, USA

It's a large, suburban shopping mall in the classic mode, with numerous anchor dept stores and large chain restaurants. Experience enhanced with some small 90s-2000s style improvements esp the open air promenade. The area around there also has lots of other shopping opportunities off the mall grounds.

One of the best malls close to home. I love the selection of stores and many of my favorites are still around. I miss the Disney Store though. The food court has nice selection and resturants and movie theater in same area so it is easy to spend a day or evening there. Always clean atmosphere and Cinnabon is awesome!

Good place for a movie. Theater is clean and has a good sound system. 3D is amazing. Definitely will go there again.

Sprawling Mall filled with stores for everyone. Bonuses include a giant movie theater, ample free parking and ADA accessable.Restaurants with cuisine for any mood.

Great mall with a great selection of shops. The wifi wasn't the best though.

Best mall around Kirkland, Bellevue, Woodinville, Bothell area. They have lot of famous stores like :Zara, H&M, Nordstrom , Sephora…

Cute mall. A little something for everyone.I took my cat (she loves going places with me)My favorite stores were "Wishes" and "Build a bear", "Box lunch" and the cheap anime store.The food court lacked desire to eat there. Not many choices and it's mostly Japanese food, panda express, philly, Italian. It was basic.

It's a great get a way for the family and kids. Not to crowded but enough space to feel free. Typical mall and typical customers and free samples in the food Court.

Love this mall huge mall. Mall that still has tons of stores and not look empty. My son and I had fun shopping. Lots and lots of options in all different categories. Always clean, friendly, and comfortable.

The newer and outdoor sections are nice to walk around, but walking around the older department stores outside is not. The sidewalks are very narrow and there are no places to rest. Otherwise it is lively and has a good selection of stores, restaurants, and entertainment.

Very convenient location close to highways with several free parking lots. On the Saturday afternoon, it was a nightmare to find parking spot though. Some store are in the open space and many others inside the mall with doors to the outside. There is a food court too.

05/28/23: I love this Mall in many ways. They have enormous parking lots, security guards, many famous brands, and tons of deals. The vibe is comfortable, relaxing, and chilling. I spent my weekend to buy some items here and the experience was great. I highly recommend it to anyone

This mall is my favorite in Washington state. I have been everywhere but this mall is the best one ever. They have a huge parking lot, cinema, beauty and nail salons around, super close to DSW and Bremerton, Costco, Target stores as well. Definitely visit this mall ❤️

Without a doubt, my absolute favorite shopping destination is the one and only place that never lets me down. It's a one-stop-shop for all my needs, and I always leave with exactly what I came for. In fact, I'm confident that I could navigate the store with my eyes closed and still find everything I need. There's no place quite like it, and I challenge anyone to prove me wrong!

It's 10 min from my house, me and my family are always visiting this mall, for cinema, for shopping and for food.Last time I have a very unacceptable experience there. I went to the store to made an exchange for a product that I bought and broke twice. Store refused to exchange the product ($200) and called security mall, and security guy asked me to leave or he will call the police.I called customer service of the mall, they gave me an email to write about my experience. And still no response.But by 90 days policy for exchange the product is expiring in a couple of days.Unbelievable that we can have like this in our days!!!

I really like coming to the alderwood mall as opposed to the Everett mall. There's so much more to see more shops or stores to buy from or even just window shop but what I really enjoy doing is sitting down in the middle and just people watch. 5 stars easy!

It's a mall. There's not too many left so it's nice to be able to go sometimes. The food court is decent but too crowded for my liking. The best part is the AMC cinemas with the imax and cushy reclining chairs and you don't have to share an armrest with your neighbor. The price isn't much more than a regular theater. I give the cinemas 5 stars and the mall 3 stars.

As far as malls go, it’s OK. It has some good stores, but I’ve been in some malls that have all the same stores and way more. It’s kind of small actually considering the other malls I’ve seen in this world.

It’s a nice small mall, pretty crowded though pretty crowded. Have lots of friends who is good quality and average prices. The food court is nice. Have lots of restaurants. You can really enjoy the outdoor stores when the weather is nice.

This is a very good mall. The mall is extremely clean and has a lot of stores to suit all of your needs. The food court is very good and has numerous food options, and just about any cuisine you desire, from seafood, Thai Food, Mediterranean Food and list goes on. I highly recommend this mall.

Such a gem!! Beautiful flowers, plants, trees... Very welcoming environment. Small library in the coffee shop with friendly people. While we walked I noticed that is such a thoughtful setup through the park, you can find benches everywhere, nice shadow areas for the sunny day. A beautiful temple to come and meditate or observe. Every section of the park has a nice ambience. I enjoyed visiting this place.

Love coming to this place every year it’s different and to add new lights. They serve hot drinks which is an added bonus on those cold nights. Highly recommend booking and coming here with the family.

The Bellevue Botanical Garden is a delightful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. With its sprawling 53 acres of diverse gardens, restored woodlands, and natural wetlands, it's a haven for nature lovers and photographers alike.* **Vibrant Blooms:** My visit during sunny weather was perfectly timed to witness a stunning display of colorful flowers in bloom.* **Garden Variety:** The variety of gardens is impressive, from the peaceful Fuchsia Garden to the educational Native Discovery Garden. Each section offers a unique perspective on the Pacific Northwest flora.* **Free Admission:** A huge perk is that the garden is free to enter, making it an accessible and budget-friendly outing for everyone.* **Capture the Beauty:** Don't forget your camera! The vibrant flowers and picturesque landscapes provide ample opportunities for capturing stunning photos and videos, just like I did.* **Relax and Reflect:** Find a quiet corner amidst the lush greenery and simply soak in the tranquility of the surroundings.**Overall, the Bellevue Botanical Garden is a must-visit for anyone seeking a peaceful escape or a dose of floral inspiration. I highly recommend it!**

Beautiful place to visit! Lovely plants with descriptive cards. The paths are long with much to see. We went for the Christmas lights and were very impressed. An article said there's half a million lights. I can easily believe it. Amazing shapes with some even being animated. Highly recommend!

My husband and I came here to go for a walk. Super cute place. Very nice and clean. We enjoyed the suspension bridge the most. The coffee shop was great and the variety of different flowers was amazing. Some we've never seen before. Would be a great place to get married at. Beautiful park. There is restrooms that are very clean. And very cute little gift shop. Make sure to grab a map so you know where you are. There are lots of paths and you can easily get turned around. Highly recommend.

I just love this place. So many different and unique plants and trees. You could just spend hours walking around on the trails and relax here. Once you’re inside you totally forget you’re in the middle of a city. There is no entrance fee and there is free parking as well

Beautiful place to go!!! A great place for just a nice walk but also an amazing place for some gorgeous photos. Its free during their off times (not during Christmas lights and such). Wonderful little place to go.

Bellevue Botanical Garden is immaculate, well-maintained, and endlessly gorgeous. It's free, and provided an amazing experience.I highly recommend visiting if you're in the area, or local. It's something I had never checked out before because of how hidden it is, but it is high and above the best public park I've ever been to. It's serene, yet full of life.

A massive green space that beautifully transitions from a garden full of colourful flowers and perennials, to a trail with various types of ferns and shrouded by massively tall trees, and everything in between.Whether you are into nature photography, want to explore with family, or just want some peaceful time surrounded by nature - there's something for everyone. On top of that, it's free to visit!Highly recommended!

On our recent road trip, we were on our way back home after taking a quick brunch and decided to make a detour here.It was a good decision. Our favourite was the Japanese Garden.There are also trails that you can hike. Everything looks well-maintained.And it’s all free entrance to the public! 5/5!

This is a great place to visit with kids/family, especially in the summer. You can see an amazing variety of plants while walking through their trails. It has a Japanese garden as well. It is a great spot to spend the evening in peace amidst nature.There is a coffee shop and a gift store as well. The garden itself is free to visit, and has ample parking spots.

We were there early morning and it was almost perfect. A little chilly, a fair amount of mosquitoes and only a handful of others. I wish we'd have had more time to spend there. The house and store were closed but it was quiet and peaceful. The flowers were beautiful as well as the grounds. It was free and the bathrooms were heated and very clean. What a blessing to have in the heart of the Bellevue area.

We went in the afternoon of a sunny day in April so the weather was perfect.We enjoyed the walk in the garden. Many roses and flowers have not blossomed yet. Some plants has name tags and others has codes to scan and see in the website.Unfortunately the coffee house closes early around two, while the place is available for later time. If you are coming in the afternoon bring your own drinks and snacks.

A very beautiful garden with a large variety of flowers, trees and other plants and the bees were busy working on the flowers. The Japanese garden is a must see. Also it's free and the parking is also free. It is such a blessing for people in Seattle to be able to enjoy such a beautiful place.

I recently visited the Bellevue Botanical Garden and was absolutely mesmerized by its natural beauty and serene ambiance. This hidden gem in Bellevue, Washington, is a must-visit for nature lovers and garden enthusiasts.The garden boasts a wide variety of meticulously maintained gardens, each with its own unique charm. From the vibrant Perennial Border to the enchanting Yao Garden inspired by Japanese design, there's something for everyone to appreciate. The Native Discovery Garden was a personal favorite, showcasing the rich diversity of plants native to the Pacific Northwest.I was impressed by the informative and friendly staff at the Visitor Center, who provided valuable insights and recommendations during my visit. The gift shop was stocked with a delightful selection of plants, books, and garden-related items that make for perfect gifts or souvenirs.Whether you're looking for a peaceful escape from the city or seeking inspiration for your own garden, the Bellevue Botanical Garden is an oasis that will leave you feeling rejuvenated and inspired. It's a place where you can connect with nature, appreciate the beauty of plants, and enjoy moments of tranquility.I highly recommend visiting the Bellevue Botanical Garden. It's a true gem that showcases the nature in a nutshell and provides an unforgettable experience.Notable mention; Ravine Experience is something out of an anaconda movie, the wilderness and the whimsically adventurous bridge make the trail although mesmerizing.

Such an amazing space! Absolutely beautiful gardens, free parking, and plenty to see and do. They even have a cute coffee shop to grab coffee while you walk the gardens. Parking fills up fast!Pro tip: carpool with a friend and get in early. It’s full by 11 am.

We visited at a fairly busy time, but had no trouble in finding parking!The entire garden was massive, and we tried to visit each part of it. Everything was beautifully arranged with a wide variety of sights and plants. The garden has a nice picnic spot by their cafe and tomato garden, which is definitely a nice spot to visit with friends and family! Will come again.

Spring is in full blossom at this botanical garden! Vibrant colors at every corner with multiple areas to see. We had such a great time viewing the gardens and seeing such a beautiful variety of flowers and plants growing here. Great walking experience on a sunny day! The tulips were stunning and my favorite.

Absolutely beautiful garden!! We went in January and most plants were dead but definitely going to be back when they're in full bloom, nonetheless still a great adventure! Nice walk, very peaceful, great for all ages, clean and serene. You could hear frogs and see hummingbirds, the bridge was really awesome as well! Free entry, and huge parking lot.

Color around every bend in the meandering sunlit expertly curated landscape. Awesome resources to learn more about the varietals. Spring be blooming and the birds be singing. Enjoy!There is no wrong turn as you can circle around for another moment enjoying the work of expert gardening. Yet feels wild as an old growth forest.

This is a super fun free activity to do. We went on a lightly rainy day admittedly during off season and I still enjoyed the gorgeous scenery. They had so many paths, ample signs, and clearly traversable paths as well. I can’t wait to visit in the warmer weather to see all the plants during full bloom.

It's become my go-to spot for evening walks and relaxing picnics on sunny days. The garden boasts an incredible array of flowers and greenery, with something new to discover around every corner. From the serene Zen garden to the historic house, there are plenty of unique and fascinating areas to explore. Plus, the garden hosts various events throughout the year, like the stunning light show.

Park is beautiful as it is bountiful, colorful as colorful gets (season permitting), and honestly you can't beat the price: FREE (± optional donation). Come once and again to meditate and marvel at what the garden has to offer with trails and features aplenty. If spring is in the air, be sure to bring your allergy meds.Pick up a free map or scan for one to follow online. Kids can enjoy the activity sheet that includes a scavenger hunt. Adults can join too: "Find a flower, stem, or branch with the same number of petals or leaves as your age"...ok, maybe too difficult! Dogs aren't allowed although there is a nearby park (Wilburton Hill) where you can take your pooch. All the less to worry about what you might step in anyway.The layout of the garden kind of reminds me of a statue of a Grecian goddess—like which you might see pouring water into a stream. To wit, starting from the Trillium gift shop, stroll along the top of the goddess' head (Rock Garden, Urban Meadow), onto the forehead (Perennial Border), face (Tateuchi Loop), bodice (Lost Meadow Trail, Ravine Bridge), neck (Native Discovery Garden), nape (Yao Garden), and curly coiffure (Shorts House, fuchsias, rhodies, waterfall).Towards year-end, come back to see their spectacular Garden D'Lites nighttime extravaganza for a nominal fee. For about a month the garden is lit up at night with a gadzillion (give or take) Christmas lights, all meticulously constructed months in advance and designed to dazzle you away and tide you over to your next visit to this one of the city's best shared secrets.

This is a beautiful free garden. We could have stayed twice as long as we did. I think we were there a little over and hour and we only saw half. The suspension bridge was really fun and had some amazing views. The plants were not in bloom but that did not take away from the beauty. You could really see the moss on the trees and just how alive the forest is. They had their garden lights up for the holidays so those were throught but unlit. They weren't distracting or anything, they made us wish we had time to see them at night. Parking was free as well. We went on a Sunday morning and didn't pass many people on the trial. It was beautiful, I highly recommend 👌

Beautiful green space transitioning from colorful flowers to hiking trail with winding paths, small water fountains, meditation space and more. There are multiple entrances with a lot of ground to cover. One of the hiking trail leads to a beautiful bridge at the end which is a prime photography spot. Parking is plentiful on the weekend. Kind of secluded and a space to provide calming experience. A must visit whether you enjoy nature photography or want to have fun with nature/friends/family.Admission: FreeSeason to visit: all time; there are holiday lights during winter and plenty of greenery and colors in spring and summer

We visited for the holiday lights display. It was a great visit! A nice, leisurely stroll through very nice and rightly themed lights, it was a great experience.Plenty of volunteers on hand, often offering to take a picture of you and your family if they see you doing a selfie.Just a really nice walk seeing all of the lights. Parking on their lot at the time had a small charge of $5, but it was unfortunately full so we parked down the hill for free, but the hill is a steep one and a bit daunting if you're not an active person.But well worth the trip!

The garden was very lush, with the Japanese section particularly colorful. During the week, there were few visitors, making it a perfect place for quiet contemplation and enjoying nature undisturbed. I rated it 4 stars because it felt a bit small for me. Additionally, the traffic noise in certain areas detracted from the peaceful ambiance.

Nice stroll at the gardens. As its winter, flowers have not bloomed yet, but there is nice foliage around. Having maps along the way (and also distances as to how long each trail) would be nice. Can't be free entrance and free parking!

Had an amazing time. Gardens are beautiful! Plenty of parking. The best part, it is free! I didn’t feel like I had to stay to get my moneys worth. Highly recommend

For a birthday surprise I reserved the brunch box for a group of 5. Now when we think of brunch we think of a decently filling meal. Let me first say, overall, this place is beautiful and the service was great! Staff were friendly, quick to seat us, and follow up with any of our needs. The 4 mimosas did not disappoint us! Food wise, for the amount I paid I feel like they could offer more food. We all got one chicken/waffle, one sausage, shared yogurt and shared skillet hash browns. We ordered the rest of the food on the side as we were still hungry. The food tasted great. Literally everything had flavor. I wouldn’t do the brunch box again but I will be going back.

Came here on a holiday weekend and got lucky with a walk in tasting! The whole family did the 2 white and 2 red tasting paired with the flight bites, and everything was so great!There were two bonus drinks, one at the start and one at the end, and the bartender helping us gave a great rundown of the wines and where they came from. It’s a perfect place to take parents around Woodinville. Definitely recommend!

Breathtaking views and a menu to match! The menu compliments the wines with its small but vast variety of perfect portions.We had three varieties of Cabernet Sauvignon which were different in texture, color and taste.We also had their Melbac and their white wine. We highly recommend this place.Next time, we’re checking out the heated domes!Food:Spinach Artichoke dip w/hot pitaDuck & fig flatbreadParmesan fried (huge bowl)

Just a great experience all around. You don't even have to be here that long. The tastings are quick. The sunken garden experience we did was very laid back. Parking is a little on the light side. The prices are great, as their varieties are widely available, but their are limited editions only available here as well. The customer service was excellent, as they will let you taste a few to find what you like before buying. I'd advise all in the area to visit. Make reservations!

Defenetly worth a visit! The place is beautiful and impressive, great way to spend an afternoon sipping on wine.🍽 Food is OK, I tried their cheese and meat platter, an artichokes dip which is fantastic🍷 I did a wine flight it was pretty good, I wish they would also give you recommendations on what to order to try your flight with. Wine is delicious by itself but you can also bring out a lot flavor notes by mixing it with food.👤 Service is great, everyone is really nice.🛎 make a reservation because it does get crowded🚻 they have bathrooms🅿️ they offer free parking inside chateau Ste Michelle

Gotta love the Grande Dame of Washington wineries! ♥️ The breathtaking grounds never disappoint and the majestic Chateau is a gorgeous as ever. Summer Concerts here are simply the best. We’ve experienced many concerts here over the years, but this one was a little different. The security now is top notch. They’ve really got it down. We sailed right through and it hardly felt like we even stood in line despite the full crowd. The wine was delicious, of course, that goes without saying. Fun assortment of food vendors too. Was impressed to see new, private viewing cabanas and additional assigned seating, although I don’t think anything could make me give up my beach chairs and picnic basket! Always a good time at Ste Michelle. Susan Says…the show must go on!

We had a fantastic dinner on Valentine's night at the winery. Nicole Metcalf gave us a table right next to the fireplace. Jake was our server and did a great job. Executive Chef Michael Jordon and his staff put out a fantastic dinner.Look forward to doing this again

Had an amazing Build Your Own Charcuterie Board session with Laura Lee and Aaron at Chateau Ste. Michelle. Such an amazing and warm team, all very knowledgeable about wine, pairings and charcuterie boards! 10/10 would recommend for anyone looking for a memorable experience in Woodinville.

An amazing experience! James Taylor concert was out of this world good! I think they need to figure out parking and crowd effectiveness though, seemed a bit cumbersome process but once inside love the venue. Give yourself at least 2 hours ahead of concert and go early!!! Plenty of food and wine while you wait in the beautiful venue. Also members get discounts 🥳

Beautiful spot! The winery is an incredible property, including a concert venue with an awesome summer line up. We had the feature flight, which was affordable ($30) and delicious. We got to try 2 of their whites and 2 of their reds, with an additional bonus pour at the end. Although we didn't make it in time for the tour, we were still able to explore the grounds and various spaces inside.

My jaw dropped when I walked into this place! Endless options and loved the gift shop entrance. We were greeted by the hostess and they asked what we were looking for in tastings. We wanted a variety so we were guided to the Enoteca upstairs. James was our winery host and really helped assist us in andwering our questions and making sure we knew about the different options and tastings. I REALLY enjoyed 14 Hands options from dessert to dinner pairings. My husband fell in love with Erath the pinor. This stop is a must see!

Very nice venue and not very busy on this dreary Tuesday afternoon. Offers a different tasting each month, with small bites that match the wines.

Wine Tasting Series, Part 4Wineries…in the Pacific Northwest? That would have been news to me if it weren’t for our friends @jnmgoose, @daphae11, and @fred.mougayer. That group of HT Friends (who have coincidentally never been in a room all together…thus far 😉) all recommended that we make the time to visit Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery and are we glad that someone (🫵) finally listened (🤦‍♂️)!!!While the “Wine Tasting Series” is a relatively new one, a clear favorite has emerged. I mean, what is there NOT to like here?The wine selection is extensive (including bubbly options), there is a calendar of live musical performances, their Summer Concert Series features a shocking number of quality musicians, they offer private Chateau Igloos, and they offer a (limited, but) quality diverse menu of food options.Although we didn’t have the opportunity during our visit, we’d love to experience their “Bubbly Beats Experience” in the future which features curated song playlists linked to specific wine pairings. 🤯Oh, yeah. We are definitely hoping for a return visit. After all, we don’t always drink sparkling wine, but when we do, we prefer Chateau Ste. Michelle Rose. 😉And that’s…Henry’s Take.#pnwwineries

Went with a group of 9 and they were so accommodating. We ordered 3 bottles to share, they even included a bottle of champagne for our celebration. They were all delicious. Our server was so sweet and fun, she made the whole experience worth it.

Beautiful winery, really good wines and incredible service.We came for one flight tasting and stayed there for a lot more and some delicious food. They explained every single wine, told us about the grapes and where they are made and made our time incredible.Thanks to Elly & Ruben for making our visit so much more special!!

Had a lovely time there. The tasting was awesome. The grounds are amazing and we had an amazing person to show us and tell us things. Thank you Michelle from customer guest services for telling us about the peaco*cks that were there and giving us a tasting.

If you are looking to have winery experience in town without driving far, this is the best & most Beautiful property. They used to have a Free walk tour and wine tasting about 1/2 hour, but now not anymore. There are so many great things about it and you can easily spend 3 hours here: you can walk around inside the Chartaeu, wine display & selling areas; outside the entire property: the gazebo, the pond, the vineyard and concert areas. And the parking is free. The Ste. Michelle Brut Rosé wine is about $20, good to grab one and try. Highly recommended.

I went to help assemble new track bikes that will be used as rentals for this upcoming racing season at the Jerry Baker Memorial Velodrome at Marymoor Park. It's a great track and there's racing throughout the summer. Check their website for details. Great entertainment if you have a free Friday evening. Watch some of the best racers in the Pacific Northwest.

Scout and I love going to Marymoor. Great park, HUGE, with so many opportunities for all kinds of activities. I love the off leash dog park and that i can easily escape the puppy madness and take a quiet walk down to the lake with my best bud. Lots of great bird watching as well.

Movies in the park (July-August) is such a fun, family (and dog) friendly summer activity. Parking is on the road between the two roads that access either end of the dog park - it's a bit confusing. Open field directly behind the screen. Look for the movie signs they put out about 7pm. Parking is $10. Lots of food trucks & businesses giving out freebies! Porta potties available.

As a kid growing up I used to play soccer all the time here. Today it is amazing to see how well developed the ball fields are, not just for soccer, but for other sports as well. When I was a teenager I even took a shot at racing bikes in the velodrome. Over the years the park has matured and now has an incredible off leash dog area, they host live music and other festivals, and it is a great place to take a long walk or bike ride. The terrain is dead flat so it's a great place to take kids and their bikes or scooters.

Nice park. I was here to see Cirque du Soleil. Pro tip if you’re seeing the show: Parking in the official lot is $25 but it’s like $1 everywhere else in the park. So go early, enjoy a walk or take some photos, then walk to the show. And spend those savings on something delicious.

This is the best concert venue around. It's easy to get from the parking area to the concert area, the lines at the gate are fast, and it's flat inside. Definitely ADA friendly compared to venues like The Gorge (stunning, but hard to navigate). The little lights in the trees, the food trucks, and the selection of high quality beer and wine (Odin, Chuckanut, Mark Ryan) make this concert venue a top pick for those who enjoy something other than a Vitamin-R. And you can actually get up from your seat and wander over to the stage to check out the performance up close and personal - that isn't possible in most venues!

A great place to take your fully vaccinated pup. There are several places where the dogs can swim, lots and lots of space for them to run free. Pet owners are good about picking up their dogs poop. Parking is good. It gets busy during the weekend, but there are several locations to park. There is a fee to park, $2.00 to receive your ticket to display in your front dash. A fun place for dogs of all sizes.

Have been here for both the dog park and concerts, have to say this park is pretty spectacular. Wide open space and lots of different sites, venue for concerts is awesome. The dog park is very cool and massive! There is also a dog washing station in case your pup gets in the mud. Hands down the best park in the area.

Best off leash dog park in the world! Honestly it’s part of the reason we are considering moving back from FL! The pet parents have been very respectful, friendly and responsible and have awesome dogs which helps make the experience that much more amazing.Their playground and green space is great too but the dog park is really what “wows” and sets it apart from the rest

My daily walk park.Very large Ave very well maintained.Multiple Baseball, Tennis, Soccer grounds available.Parking is paid and it costs 1$ per day. Discover pass or America the Beautiful type of passes don't work here.Multiple spots available for picnic.Restrooms are neatly maintained.Good number of restrooms available across multiple places in the park.

Visited here while traveling and looking for an area where my dog could run and play with other dogs. The dog area is quite impressive and numerous trails criss-cross through its many acres. Plenty of shade where a well-maintained path follows the river, as well as large grassy fields that are open and less shaded. Several places along the river where steps lead down to the water, allowing dogs and people easy access. While the main area is leash-free, the trail links to an Audubon hiking path that requires your pooch be leashed. Very pretty scenery. There is a self serve dog wash, a grooming truck, and a food truck in the main parking area. Honestly, it was a mini doggie Disneyland.

What an incredible dog park!! we just moved from out of state and everyone told me that this is where they bring their dog and they were not lying. It is a huge beautiful open space. All dogs are off leash and it’s up to owners to ensure that dogs are behaving properly I don’t know if it’s 100% stroller safe throughout the entire park but I did bring my stroller and was able to get a good 40 minutes in with my toddler and my little pup. My toddler did not walk around though and stayed in his stroller the whole time.

Marymoor Park is my top park to visit here in Washinton. A notable feature of the park would be the trails that conveniently encircle the neighboring area. These trails are worth exploring in the area and provide an excellent opportunity for exercise and adventure. The park is well-kept. It is worth noting that park workers are consistently actively present within the area. It is important to be aware that this particular park frequently hosts various events and celebrations. Planning your visit accordingly to avoid any potential crowds, parking, or disruptions may be helpful. Bring cash with you to pay for 1 $ parking, If you can find parking. If you want a good parking spot, arrive early. Due to the park's popularity, parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

This is the best dog park that I have ever been to. There is tons of space to spread out and let your dog be off-leash as well as places for them to get go for a swim!For only $1 parking for the whole day Marymoor is a must!

We enjoy coming to Downtown Snohomish and visiting all the shops. Parking can be a challenge but if you don’t mind a little walk, you can find spots a few blocks away. Great shops and good places to eat.

It didn't take me long to understand this is the land of antique stores. Not only are they on every corner, they are huge, with different vendor booths in them.Apparently it the mecca for antiques in Seattle North Country.They serious love coffee and pastries...in one area there was a bakery/coffee shop on all 4 sides of an intersection.Great town for a girls weekend.

This place is very cool for a day of window shopping and some lunch. Parking can be a bit tricky and most of the stores aren't stroller friendly. It doesn't deter me from coming back but something to keep in mind. You'll have to leave the stroller outside or in the car while you carry the little ones. The older kids can be taken down to the water to throw some sticks into the river. Quaint little place.

Wonderful antiquing day. I love ❤️ this small town, friendly folks all around the town. Great prices, highly recommend!

Plenty of places to hang out, grab a bite, drink and walk along the Snohomish river. The first street also has a LOT of antique shops, we stopped by a few they had a great selection of stuff that you never knew existed. A lot of the restaurants seemed like great spots to chill, would keep going back to try out new places.

Cute downtown area with lots of antique shops, home goods stores, clothing boutiques and eateries. We lucked out and it was a beautiful sunny day when we went. Fun experience to have with a friend, spending the day walking outside and popping in and out of the shops.

Beautiful historic Snohomish downtown with a variety of quaint one of a kind shops and antique stores. Worth a visit!

Downtown Snohomish (WA) is ALWAYS a good time. Esp. If you love unique eateries (Grilla bites (see pics), Christa's Sandwich board and The Cabbage Patch (oh those homemade scones!) are some of my faves), antiques and boutiques.A new Pie Dive Bar recently opened and I'm dying to try it.😋Don't come on Mondays if you want the full experience. A lot of stores are closed on Mondays.

I love downtown Snohomish. Always lifts my spirits and is so relaxing.At Bravas Pizza you can choose to eat outside or in. Get by large slice. Fresh brew coffee if you ask. Friendly.

Good old memories beautiful Victorian houses and antiques shops.

Love coming here to walk around and see all the little shops and restaurants. All very one of a kind, something that is really lacking in today's society.

A pinnacle of natural beauty! Mt. Rainier is an episodically active volcano, but don’t let that scare you. The drive up to Sunrise was beautiful, and the view of Rainier from the visitor center is already picture perfect. But we decided to hike up Sourdough trail. For some extra fun, bring headlamps and hike the trail near sunset. When it falls dark, the stars (and even Milky Way) are fully visible. It was nice of the park to not install lights in the parking lot, which made the sky even brighter.

Great place. Cute gifts. There is a little deli to eat in. They rent out snowshoes. There are some museum like exhibits to look at. Worth checking out in my opinion

Stunning. It felt like a storybook view of the Alps. Seriously, so beautiful! They have bathrooms... though, at the time we went, were really dirty. Plan on bringing sanitizer. The picnic areas were great. The view, on a clear day, is spectacular.

This is a very well kept visitor center with a great view of Mt. Rainier. The park rangers are nice and knowledgeable. Plenty of parking for compact and large vehicles. There's a variety of trails to take to get different views of Mt. Rainier. There's a bit of history posted around the visitor center. Friendly reminder to pack warm and prepared as nighttime can get chilly during the Summer and frigid during Fall and Winter into Spring.

What an amazing viewpoint for Mt. Rainer and nearby valley areas. At 6,400 feet elevation, the cool summer, mountain air was very crisp and refreshing. This is a must stop for those desiring to see up close this massive 14,411 foot volcano outside of Seattle, Washington. The center is a beehive of activity. The help is outstanding and very capable.

Great views on the way up to this point. Taking a star off those as the visitor center and gift shop was closed September 3rd... It was the only visitor center I was going to be able to visit on my trip too, so I was veer disappointed. I'm a patch collector and love supporting our parks by purchasing some at each location and of course getting a stamp!

We didn't venture far from the Visitor Center since we're short on time. The view of Mount Rainer from there was not as breathtaking as we had hoped, and the store was closed despite being advertised as open during our time there. So no snacks or refreshments for us, but thankfully the water fountain was working.There is a lookout halfway between the park entrance and Visitor Center with better views.They charge $30 at the park entrance. From there, it takes about half an hour to reach the Visitor Center. Prepare to drive along a winding and narrow mountain road, with the lack of guard rails in places making for a heart-stopping ride.

Great area to see Mt. Rainier. The visitor center doesn’t open till mid July but there were still a variety of beautiful hikes, a place to buy snacks and a good restroom. Our favorite hike was to the lookout. Whether you plan on hiking or not it’s still a great place for views of the mountain and glaciers.

The visitor center has a snack bar for some quick to-go snacks along with coffee and a couple of soup options. Open on weekends from 9-5pm. Well maintained flush toilets. The visitor center also has some bunch of information on the volcano and the flora and fauna on the mountain. I prefer this visitor center when compared to Paradise since you have comparatively lesser crowd both at the center and on the trails and definitely closer views of Rainier.

It is a spot of heaven on earth! Mount Rainier is something to see in your lifetime.Go out of your way to see the mountain/volcano. I'm still holding my breath...lolJust stunning! The cost to get into park is by car, not individuals.

We visited the day before July 4th and the ranger at the entrance warned us that there may not be parking. We lucked out and got a parking. There was a ranger making room for extra parking spot. The Visitor Center was closed. We lucked out with beautiful weather, and Mount Rainier was prominent and spectacular from various angles. There were wildflowers and some snow. We hiked Sourdough Ridge Trail which provided panoramic view of the Cascade Crest Summits.

If you are planning to see sunrise, plan to come at least 1 hour early to sunrise . You need to hike at least 20 minutes to reach a place you have a good view . Secondly the pre sunrise rays are the one that makes rainier beautiful

An absolute must when you go up to Mount Rainier! Take in the history and ask the Ranger about the mini hike and the mountain! I would recommend going around the building to take photos instead of against the glass of the building.

Nicely located with well kept trails to hike. Great view surrounding area and clean restrooms for public use. To access park area for park showed $30.00 and is free for military

we had bad experience seen 2 years ago . But we try again on Wed , surprise prime rib was great , most food look good . Service guy very patient & polite. Only casino buffet restaurant can stay for 4 hours , we so happy to enjoyed our dinner with family without disturbing .

Beautiful environment! The Asian restaurant was fantastic but the sushi was kind of expensive. The sound and lighting crew were phenomenal for such a small space! Truly professional. It felt like I was at an arena but intimate. The valet service was great as well. A short wait to leave. Be sure to tip them well!

It's not a winners night every night. It seems we win a lot less led often but I'll give kudos where deserved. They make so far better effort at promotional events than other local casinos. But they've all gotten stingy. I recommend going for lunch or dinner or music but gambling as a side event fur you day. Then it won't be so disappointing win you walk out with zero winnings most times. The good is great. Enjoy. I keep going back for fun... hoping.

Very clean, the bartending staff are the BEST!! it's almost like when you sit at the bar you get to be a part of an interactive improv comedy show... the bathroom staff are a lil creepy at times... other than that great place to drink and gamble!!

I think I need a redo I went on a weekday day morning since I wouldn't be able to go over the weekend. It was very spacious clean and super friendly staff. It was pretty uneventful since it was fairly early. Haven't been to casinos outside of Vegas (its prohibited in my residing state) so not sure if free alcohol drinks is a common thing at most casinos but not here that I could gather. There was little eats and lounges along the wall. But most were just opening up or still closed all together. But they did have a designated spot where you could get complementary coffee and soda from the fountains. I enjoyed the exterior scenery more nature little creek trees ect. Also not sure where they were coming from/going to but they had their own charter bus and a little shuttle that could be helpful.

We loved this casino! The food and gambling are awesome. We played craps and the whole table was fun and energetic. We can’t wait to go back

It's nice. Valet was free for me the Sunday I went, maybe it's always free I don't know for sure. I had a couple drinks in the bar before having the buffet. Drinks are good and good price. The buffet was just okay, but so also good price. I wish the non smoking areas were more prevalent and/or the air was better circulated. They need better signage navigating around the property for the parking garage. The gas station was nice and friendly staff everywhere.

Casino located off I90. Located kind of far out. Beautiful scenery around the area. Lots of slots. Some table games. Restaurants. Very smokey. Hard to stay long because of the smoke.

Solid casino that offers plenty of parking.Be aware they allow indoor smoking of cigarettes, but their parking lot outside of the parking garage is patrolled by security, and they didn’t have a problem with me sleeping in my camper there overnight.Plenty of live gambling games and tons of virtual games as well as few restaurants inside with a range of prices. Solid!

This is one of the cleanest casino I have seen. It is huge and has vast variety of games. There is a buffet and other restaurants if you want to eat. The bar at its center offers a wide range of drinks to enjoy. I feel it is better than the casinos in Vegas.

This could be a really nice spot if they went smoke-free. If you're not a smoker, when you walk in the door, you feel like one and start coughing. The shows were nice.

There are many people on weekends, but there is no smoking area and non-smoking area in the casino. In summer it is very hot and airless. The food at the fall buffet is pretty standard. From salads to entrees and desserts, everything was delicious and fresh, and the service was superb.

My recent visit to Snoqualmie Casino left me thoroughly impressed. The staff was incredibly friendly, making me feel welcomed from the moment I stepped through the doors. Not only that, but the entire casino was impeccably clean, maintaining a high standard of hygiene that is especially reassuring in today’s environment.One aspect of the casino that I particularly enjoyed was the cigar lounge. It felt like a home away from home, providing a cozy atmosphere where I could relax and unwind. The attention to detail in the club’s design and amenities truly made it a standout feature of my experience at Snoqualmie Casino.Overall, I highly recommend Snoqualmie Casino to anyone looking for a welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, and a clean environment. Whether you’re there for the gaming or to enjoy the amenities like the cigar lounge, you’re sure to have a fantastic time.

12moons. Their uni on menu was disappointing. Looks fresh but taste was really bad( you know the taste they kind of taste like food waste) also their chirashi bowl ( Roe was huge disappointment but they get their Roe once every two weeks so avoid them!)

The view is beautiful. The casino is beautiful. A great place to go and have a fun time.

It was good as usual I'm a regular win often just don't go to late won't win anything. Plenty of tables the food is great, awesome parking 24/7 go check it out

Snoqualmie Casino is one of the most well known Casinos in Washington State. Of all Casinos here. My Family & I prefer to Play and Dine in Snoqualmie. Every visit I have here is a Positive one, from having fun on the floor to eating at their Lovely Restaurants like 12 Moons. I highly recommend this place for all including Families. Their Decor and Designs are Unique & Elegant in comparison. Staff here is the Friendliest. The Enironment is Welcoming to be around and the drive East on a Sunny Day is Beautiful. Thank you for the Years of Memories and God Bless Snoqualmie Casino!

I come here purely for the restaurants and for the view (which can be viewed from the parking lot top levels or any of their dining options excluding the market) The casino is very clean and service at all of the restaurants are fantastic. Great staff!Smoke smell is a bit overwhelming sometimes but they have generally good air filtration systems I think. Not a place to bring young kids even if you're just visiting restaurants since the second hand smoke is bad for the lungs. I personally wear a mask indoors while going through the machine areas anyways.Really enjoy coming here in the winter months and seeing fantastic views of snow dusted cascade mountain range while dining. There's also lots of birds around here, we usually get to see hawks as well!

This was my first casino I made a trip to and as we always say - first impressions are the best ones this place has that in my mind for ever. The casino restaurant serves one of the best burgers around WA when it comes to veggies - the Boca burger, I sometimes just make a trip to this casino to have that. They also have a few vending machines for free including coffee and some soft drinks. They are expanding further so make sure you check the parking pathways as they have left them a little confusing.

Very nice, many many slot machines as well as table games. There is also a non-smoking section if that is your preference. Very nice, clean and well kept.

Nice falls. Had a great trek on a trail, it is a little steep but worth the trek. The views from top and foot of the falls are great. Great spot for some quite time or just to have a beer river side. Sometimes too many people could make it disturbing but generally it is a peaceful place.

Stunning views! Visiting from out of state and just happened to stumble upon this amazing waterfall. You can view the falls from a lookout above or you can follow the trail and see the falls from below. Ample parking in the later evening. The hike down to the lower viewing was pretty steep. Paid parking right in front but free parking across the street.

The place is beautiful, the trails are expansive, and there is a place to buy gifts and food. If you are going to walk the trails, please be mindful that what goes down must come up. Save your energy for your trip back up, or you will end up very tired. There are a lot of steep parts to the trails, so those parts are not for inexperienced walkers. Please obtain a map or something if this is a concern.

The falls were incredible! Well worth a stop on our way to Seattle. Great infrastructure and parking is free.

40 minutes by car from Seattle. You can park for free on the other side of the road or park right next to the site for a fee. The place has an observation deck for the waterfall and a leasy trail that leads to an observation closer to the waterfall. There are picnic areas on site as well as public restrooms. Highly recommended

Today was a beautiful day to see this! Absolutely breathtaking. Some of the stairs are closed off from the upper lot but just walk down a different path and you'll catch the 1/2 mile trail sign. Coming back up might be difficult for some, if you started from the upper lot. I'd recommend parking at the lower lot and walk along the trail/bridge (4th picture) to get to the falls.

Absolutely stunning waterfall. Must see if you are around Seattle. There is a small 1/2 mile trail which is also great if you want to go down the riverside and view the waterfall from a distance.

Must see place if you are in Seattle! Amazing trail to go down to river, trail is not very easy but deserves to see falls from down. Free but parking is not free. They have two parking places. Definitely recommended!!!

Breathtaking falls! Easy hike from the parking lot to view the falls. Vibrant rainbow near base of falls. Several nature trails. A pair of nesting Peregrine falcons near the viewing area. A must-see! FREE public parking is across the street.

We visited the falls on our vacation to Seattle. We came on a Friday afternoon at around 2 pm. Had a good amount of foot traffic but not terribly busy. Enjoyed the falls as it is a popular tour destination. Interesting to see its history. Worth seeing if you are in the area. Nice little park area to sit or enjoy a small picnic covered by trees. Nice plants around the area too. They have a gift shop full of souvenirs and books and such. Also a coffee/snack shop with ice cream. We were there for about 1-1.5 hrs. Google maps will take you to a restricted access road. Follow the local signs when you are there.

Nicenplace to walk with your family. Not super strenuous, but you'll breathe harder. Bonus is that there are two parking lot above falls and one parking lot below the falls. Foe the ones above, the lot on the same side of the falls is paid hut the one across the street is free and accesses the falls through a bridge above the road.

Beautiful waterfall that is easy to access. There's a upper and lower observation areas. There is a free parking lot across the street with a pedestrian bridge. Highly recommend to come visit if you are in the Seattle area. Only 30 min drive from downtown Seattle.

I've visited before, but during summer. It was very pretty then... However, This time, with the snow run off during spring, the plants in bloom, and do much more water, it was even more beautiful.

Lot of parking available and fast moving traffic and the actual falls is about 3 mins away from the parking lot. Great couple views. Trail to downward of falls, is apparently steep and little risky unless you’re a pro hiker.

Beautiful scenery! Simply breathtaking. The view is amazingly calming. For a Saturday parking was bad at all. We paid $8.30 for 2 hours. The only thing is that it’s scan to pay. The waterfall is easily seen from the top and couple other watch points. We hiked down and found a beautiful place where we sat on the rocks and let the kids play in the water . Totally worth the trip!

This is a beautiful fall with hiking trail to go down to the bottom part of the fall. Paid parking is limited on the side of entrance. I will recommend go opposite side and it’s free. You can play water once you reach bottom part of fall.

Such a beautiful waterfall! There is no hike required. There is a parking lot where you can park and pay $5 but it’s limited on space. Theirs some stairs and a few stainless paths to take to the waterfall.

I’m from the east coast. Yes we have Niagara Falls, but the west coast is just so much better. This was one of the most unique and interesting places I have been. I was in Seattle for work but snuck in a few trips here and there to check things out. This was so worth the drive out there. The trees in the area are huge, nothing like what have on the east coast. The falls a big, the sound and mist are very beautiful. If you are anywhere near Seattle make the trip here to see them. The walk from the parking area is very easy. Walking to the bottom of the falls is not. One must be in decent shape to make it down and back up again. Take your time, stop and enjoy the sights, and soak up a little nature.

Snoqualmie Falls is easily accessible, just a 5-minute walk from the parking lot. It’s a free visit and a perfect stop if you’re in Seattle, just half an hour’s drive away.

It was pleasant experience walking down the hill to see dam and riverside. Roads are adequately maintained . In the middle wash room is available. Periodic patrolling was observed by staff. It was good track with dogs and family. View of waterfall was beautiful. Good spot for photographer !

Very accessible waterfalls. Lot of free and paid parking available although sometimes there can be a rush. There is a hike you can do to the lower part of the falls.

Breathing taking experience during my first visit to this place. Upper and lower falls are so beautiful during all seasons. Parking is free just across the foot bridge. I saw crowd during my multiple visits to falls. It's amazing to know the history of this place. Kudos to the folks who worked hard to build the power plant to get power to Seattle area in those days.

As the summer’s warmth gently fades, nature prepares for its grand finale, the breathtaking spectacle known as fall. From the majestic mountains to the serene valleys, the landscape undergoes a magnificent transformation, painting the world with a palette of vibrant hues.

Snoqualmie Falls, both by day and night, stands as a beautiful, majestic, magnificent, and mesmerizing 270ft waterfall. Surrounded by lush greenery, it presents a serene yet powerful spectacle. I've visited this waterfall multiple times, enjoying views from both the top and the bottom deck.

Gorgeous! Didn't have time to look around too much but plenty to see. There were some idiots flying a drone even though there are clearly signs that say no drones. But a Must see if you're in the area!!

Got to experience the northern lights yesterday with an Amazing view of the snoqualmie falls. Much go to place regardless of the northern lights. Northern lights were definitely an added bonus

Amazing place to stop and see it’s a must do ever time I’m in the area just amazing and easily accessible for anyone one to see there is a couple flights of stairs or handicap accessible ramps to take and see the falls parking can be a bit of a pain but well worth it

In terms of waterfalls it's not that big, but the surrounding nature is very beautiful. There is a paved walkway to admire the waterfall but there is also a moderate to kind of severe hike to the bottom of the falls that is not paved. Just some dirt and rocks and it can get pretty steep at some points.I wouldnt call it steep to where it's dangerous but it is steep enough to where the average person might have difficulties walking down and return back uphill.Someone in my group in her 50s did it in flip flops and I saw multiple children so it though, so it is possible.The hike is totally worth it to see all the trees and wonderful sights along the way.

Very pretty falls. Bring your walking shoes has a great hike to the lower level. Windy hold on to your hat and phone. (Speaking from experience)

Not only is the drive up to Snoqualmie Falls incredibly refreshing to look at, you feel the difference in the air quality of the mountains immediately. This waterfall is absolutely breathtaking!!! The preservation of nature after years of using the waters power for electricity is 👌👌👌The trail down to the lower falls is easy enough the whole family can most likely handle it ( steady incline on the way back up) . If you have the time to stay or dine at Salish Lodge you can’t go wrong there either.

if you ever visited Seattle and missed this place, you’re definitely missing big attraction. This is absolutely gorgeous attraction in that area. Kind of remind you back your childhood.I recommend plan your trip and buy your tickets and advance. You’ll be shocked to see a lot of people over the weekend Wanna come and visit this attraction with their family. .there are a lot of good hiking places waterfall parks around this area so don’t rush when you come here. Enjoy mother nature in full extent.I only visited once, but my kids are ready to go back again also one of the best fall scenic view around this area so much colorful can even explain

We came to see the 924 on a steam train weekend recently and had a great ride. Unfortunately our ride started a bit late, so our time at the train shed (the more museum like part) was cut pretty short. We still had fun exploring and just riding the train though. We would have liked to learn more about the train we were on, but apparently that's not part of the package (at least for those steam train versions.) A great day either way! It was nice to see Snoqualmie Falls at one end of the line and grab a few pictures through the trees.

The museum is nice and it has old artifacts and items from when it was built. It also had some stories to tell which really intrigued us. We didn't get a chance to ride the train but we explored the place and read the history of it. It's definitely one of the great stops you can take at the town.Parking is plentiful you just have to be lucky to get a close one to the town or have to walk for a bit.

We enjoyed the place with the kids. Nice trip. We took the train from Snoqualmie Depot. It was a round trip first we went to snoqualmie falls and then the museum and North bend & return to the snoqualmie depot total 2 hours return journey. The kids enjoyed it a lot.

Nice historic place in the downtown with old train engines parked here, kids can enjoy the view of the train engines, you can spend 30 to 40 minutes here. My kid enjoyed seeing the large train engines, also there is a room where toy trains are kept for kids, outside you can see good fall colors as well. Parking lot is right opposite the museum on the road side itself.

I'd like to start by thanking the very kind woman at the desk! We were late to our scheduled time. Without us asking, she offered to get us on the next day! Next..... The entire town, especially the little area the train's located in was just so cool!The train ride itself was so tranqil and what beautiful scenery. Highly recommend!

My son and I had a great time together. I wish the website indicated the schedule for it'll be two hours ride for thomas the tank engine

Good to see the history of railways built and used for Snoqualmie falls visit from Seattle. Parking is free and area is so cool to stop by for coffee or lunch.

I would not say this train ride was worth the price. To me, it almost felt like a train ride with no destination. We basically just rode to the top of the falls, and then returned back towards the station, stopped at the museum, dropped people off at their station, and headed back to our station to get off. The museum was quite small and you could get through it fairly quickly. I think the only reason the trip takes a while is because the train moves slowly and stops a couple of times. I’d recommend walking through all the cars because there’s some pretty cool ones and some that are in rough shape. Pretty sure kids would enjoy this more than adults.

Its a good place for kids to experience and see the train system. My kiddo enjoyed it as she was sitting in the train for the first time, they have 1 hr train ride which is okay but I feel its bit pricier as compare to the offerings because not great views at train route except snowqualmie falls and a 30 min stop at little train museum but kids definitely gonna enjoy it if sitting for the first time. You can roam around and explore if you are interested in history.

Really nice display and a lot of posters to read about the history. I liked the walkthrough of the caboose. Amazing display of a Church railway car.I wish there had been more walk through displays but I understand the wear and tear.Kids play area and little store inside. Restrooms.Nice building, nice design.

We had so much fun today at Thomas Day Out. My grandson says he wants to go back. Would've loved more than an hour at the entertainment area! Eric was terrific. The kids loved him, and so did us adults!See you next year 😁

Nice historical location. There are quite a few unique old railway trains out here which you can see. Some of the cool ones are behind a fence though, where others you can get closer to. The original station and lumber history is in great shape, and this is a place that any train enthusiast should see. The door to the old station happened to be Open when we came (not sure if it is always open). And there was some cool electronics which lay out the train track routes and various gates which they could travel through. Some antique carriage, baggage, photographs and other trivia were inside the old station as well. For any train buff, this is well worth the stop. My grandfather would have loved seeing historic train stuff like this.

Wish the model railroad set up was functioning but grands had a great adventure and explored a new place. So impressed with the restroom cleanliness and being able to have a picnic undercover on a hot day was a deffinate plus!! Thank you 😊

Came here for some skiing and I was not disappointed. It gets busy on the weekends, so arrive early if you want to get a good parking spot. Easy to rent all equipment, which I highly recommend if you're a beginner. Slopes are well maintained with lots of employees posted to help out when needed.Food is expensive here but that's what I expect. Bring your own water or hot beverages if you want.I'll definitely be back for more skiing!

I really enjoyed this ski area. It is well set out with parking lots set up along the access road, this works very well with the bus system to then bring you to the main lodge. Parking back in one of the early lots is a good idea as less bus line to wait in.Many runs with many different skill levels, not the best tree runs

we went during the summer, took the gondola to the top, and had lunch at the outdoor bar… Incredible views from the top, and a fun gondola ride. We got back down to the bottom, and there was live music playing on this grass field, so we enjoyed that for awhile. Overall, it was a great visit.

Crystal mountain is the best you’re going to get in terms of on piste terrain in Washington! About a 2 hour drive (+30 or more mins if there’s snow) from Seattle- it’s mostly geared towards day trips.Plan ahead with parking and make sure to leave the city before 7am on a powder day to not get caught in the traffic up. (2 lane road)

I surprised my with a trip up the mountain. We took the gondola up the top of the mountain experienced the sights and snow afforded at the top. We had a small lunch and couple drinks. The staff were friendly and excited to see us. Wesley at the rent shop was very helpful. The server had an amazing customer service.

The staff are really friendly and helpful. Lost my phone there in the middle of a run yesterday and Jarrett went out of his way to find it.The mountain is really good for beginners to practice as there are long green runs. The ‘queen’ run being around 2 miles was brilliant. Would definitely recommend for practice.Didn’t get a chance to get on the mount rainier gondola. Heard a lot of good things about it.

The slopes were fresh powder (lucky timing on my part) and rode smooth. The trails were clearly marked. The rental gear was in “near new” condition and clean. The gondolas were smooth without much “jerkyness”. Definitely highly recommended!!Additionally, the drive up to the resort was beautiful! Very picturesque.

Well we didn't have any food or drink s but we enjoyed the whole atmosphere there ,I think it was better than going to Rainer mountain. What a view ,it was better really superb for photography.well we took as many as 500 picture s there . TRY IT WORTH IT.THANKS.

If you're looking for an easy day trip out of Seattle, consider Crystal Mt. Resort. Easy drive and if you are using an electric car they provide charging stations for free. I was able to make the round trip without a recharge. Cable car wait time for us was very short. View is amazing. Very worthwhile trip if you don't have the time for hiking.

Mt. Rainier view is breathtaking. Gondola service is good, we had to wait 2hours because of the storm to go up on Gondola. They must add vegetarian options to the menu and different coffee options too.I would suggest to reach there early and have sunscreen handy.

Crystal Mountain has been nothing but amazing to me, if there's ever any issue, big or small, the staff is fast and right on it with you. Great atmosphere, everyone is very happy to be there. Follow @themutual on ig for more

Crystal presents a unique experience for skiing in the Cascades. More remotely located by national parks, it holds epic powder and moderate terrain—with some expert. We did a few early runs and then had lunch at the summit lodge. Everything was exceptional, except for some of the lift lines. Hard not to love a classic Washington ski resort. And if you're lucky, you'll catch an almost unobstructed view of My Rainier from the ridge.

More expensive than Summit at Snoqualmie and Stevens. Well Groomed; good amount of green and blue slopes. Perfect for beginners and intermediate skiers. Decent food options.

Excellent resort. Lots of good food, reliable lifts, good snow from Jan-Apr and sometimes Nov-May. Absolutely beautiful views from the top of Rainier and many other mountains. Terrain varies from green to black, with some double black in bounds and a lot more hike-able that returns to the lifts.

Very friendly staff. Lift lines are not too bad compared to the others. Parking is organized and easy when you arrive. Would have been a 5 star if the shuttle service did not end before the resort closed at 4 pm. I went during their 60th anniversary. $60 loft ticket brought a lot of people on a Thursday but it was handled pretty well.

This is an amazing ski resort. For many years I was like Nat can't be as good as white pass but I never went.It has a nice deep challenging terrain you won't find really anywhere near. My friends like to call this mini whistler.

The resort itself is good, nice green trails and beautiful views of mount rainier. Though it got way too expensive this year. The customer service, however, is terrible! We had tickets and we couldn't go. They didn't let us reschedule or get a refund. It's the only business I've seen to be so greedy and uncaring about customers! They make so much money, but they won't help you in special circ*mstances!

Spent about 90 minutes here riding the gondola up to catch some spectacular views. I bet it was awe inspiring 30+ years ago before major pollution set a haze over everything. Gondola ride is expensive but smooth. I do wish they would allow you to stay for sunset behind the mountains but we were told to GTFO by 6pm or hike down 2.5 hours if you miss the last gondola.

Stay was nice. Staff was great. DVDs you can rent and there is a restaurant on site open till about 9-10 pm. Location is up a mountain and there isn't anything else for about 40 minutes. No gas or grocery store or bank or any other stores for another 40 minutes. Come prepared.I did see Ev charging. There is a gondola here about 40-50 Dollars per person to go up. 7:30 pm is last ride up, 8:30 pm is last ride down. Cloudy when we visited. Usually this is a skii and snowboard resort in the winter.The rooms were clean but it felt outdated and the walls were super thin. The whole inn we stayed at felt outdated and looks like they could benefit from some updating or modernization. The lighting is very dim and yellow which contributes to the old feeling. Communal use of a common room and microwave. We could hear everything and everyone above us, outside the hallways, and anyone talking outside. The voices transmitted through our windows very easily and we woke up from the noises constantly. We put in earplugs but quiet hours are NOT respected here. A group of people were up laughing and talking during the late night / early morning.Great views.

Awesome day of skiing amongst the Mountains of WA with Mt Rainier as our backdrop! Went on a Wed with very little lines and constant skiing. So much so, my legs were mush by the end of the day... One of the best ski mountains, trails and terrain in Seattle!

Viciously overpriced for what you get. Most of the runs are closed most of the time. And when they're open, they close early. They recently advertised a night skiing event, however, they neglected to mention only one green run would be open and their "light show" was one small projector. It was a total scam. Also, pack a lunch, cause you'll be waiting at least an hour for your food and sometimes it won't show up at all after 1.5 hours (like last time). There are better mountains with better prices. Go there until Crystal sorts it's issues out.

One of the most beautiful ones Scenic places you'll ever be in Washington State. Even if you don't ski you just want to take a trip up to Mount Rainier stop here instead. Ride the lift up to the top stop at the little cafe take in the scenery take a breath and see Mount Rainier eye to eye

Had a great couple days here with a buddy! Snow is thin this year, but they do a great job blowing snow near the base area. Terrain is awesome at this resort. The way you can drop either side of multiple ridges is really cool. Most of the resorts in Oregon are more 2d, if you will.Food at the summit was very good. I would recommend.Ski patrol was helpful and friendly when we talked with them about conditions on chair 6.

This is a snow paradise😄Great place to enjoy your weekend. Gondola ride is amazing. Its better you book all the parking and ride tickets online to save time and avoid queue. Gondola ride is till 4 PM. Restaurants are generally busy during lunch time and shuttle buses are available between parking and resort

We came on the best snow day of the season, which luckily landed on a Friday. It was quite busy getting in and out, and if you don't have all wheel drive, it will prove difficult getting out of some parking lots. The mountain itself was incredible, and the runs were perfect. The lighting was troublesome, mostly overcast throughout the day. This made it difficult to see the terrain. However, when the clouds began to clear, it made the landscape turn into a mystical white paradise.

Great snow! But the Rainier Express, one of their main lifts, seemed to be on its last legs when we were there. Plans to replace it after next season should be accelerated, I think. It stopped at least three times, once in a 25 mph gust for about 20 minutes.

Went and volunteered at a Shejumps event they had at Crystal Mountain on 3.8.24. Such a wonderful day. Snowed the whole time we were there. They offer FREE shuttles from the parking lots to the main area. Just beautiful. Everyone was so nice and helpful!

Ambiance:Absolutely beautiful. Blue skies and a warm sun.Service:Restaurant and rental gear staff were both helpful. Lift operators were friendly and attentive.Facilities Quality:In the process of building a new lodge, but it's not open yet. Existing structures are still very serviceable. Lifts are in good condition. Lift tickets are RFID this year so no more manual scanning by an attendant. Just gates that open when you swipe the card. Long overdue upgrade. New Magic Carpet is about twice as long as before and is covered now.Value for Money:Really depends. A burger and fries were $28. Resort food prices. And the tacos and quesadillas are quite tasty. But a beginner lift ticket for a child was only $39. Bring some PB&J's and bottled water and you'll be fine.Overall Experience:Reliable bus service to the lower parking lots made parking and getting right to the base very convenient. Upgraded lifts had the lines almost non-existent, even on the greens. A little pricey for some of the lift tickets but there are options. The boys had a great time and will be back. Recommended

I love Crystal Mountain! I have been skiing here for around 9 years now, and in all my years here, I never got bored! There is always something to do and see, because every day is different! This resort is great, and although the prices may be high, it’s worth it. On weekends, it is busy, but if you don’t mind all the people, you’ll be fine. If you like skiing or riding on emptier trails, then you should come here on a weekday. Have fun in the snow!

Closed when we went up there but the website and Google made no mention of the closure so a bit of a wasted trip. Mountains were nice to look at though!

Amazingly maintained trails!!1. Experience:The hike was quite easy till lower falls with a mix of uphill and downhill slopes. But the elevation starts increasing afterwards with frequent steep patches till upper falls.The trail was amazingly serene with the sound of the stream at the beginning and waterfalls after the lower falls.It was totally covered with trees so didn’t face any problem even though I went on a sunny day.2. Trail conditions:Now coming to the trail, it was well maintained with directions, markings and rest areas (like benches) provided throughout. I took about 4 hours to finish with my beginner to intermediate hiking skills.3. Parking & amenities:Parking spaces available are decent but there could be issues with parking on a busy day. Discovery pass is required. Washrooms are neat and clean. They also have information center and seating areas nearby.Overall highly recommended!!!

Easy hike until right before you get to the falls. Then the hard part comes. There’s two waterfalls you can get to and both are gorgeous. We went more like 7 miles accidentally but whatever

Super clean trails and bathrooms. Parking is great and should be easy to secure if you wake up early. Trails are laid out easily and the drive up is smooth (no crazy potholes or anything like that). We hiked the woody trail to lower and middle falls & didn’t do the upper falls. We brought our dog on leash and the hike wasn’t too difficult but has amazing views. It was about two miles total with elevation gain. The trail has benches and even picnic tables at the lower falls lookout area. Highly recommend.

One of my favorite quick and easy hikes. Get there early as the parking lot does fill up quickly, especially in the summer. The trail is well maintained, but it does get muddy in the spring or after rains. Not challenging but a good pay off.

Hiked Wallace Falls today and it was beautiful to say the least. The trail itself was well groomed. Granted, I went when the weather was dry and hot but come spring or fall, the trail could get slick given some of the steep terrain. Not an easy hike but not a killer hike either. The switchbacks are rough for sure but maybe not a good hike if you're a beginner or out of shape. Lots a great views along the Wallace and both the middle and upper falls have picturesque opportunities with either trail option. It's a popular hike and parking gets limited really quick so come early and beat the rush. Props to the park officials for keeping the trail clean.

Wallace Falls is about 5.6 miles round trip, with a ton of elevation gain (1,500 feet) that happens sometimes gradually and sometimes not. There are three main falls to admire, the lower, middle, and upper falls. You come up on the lower falls pretty quickly because there’s not a ton of elevation gain to get there. You can stop about a mile from the upper falls and enjoy the middle falls if you don’t want to complete the whole hike which is what we did. We visited in January so it was pretty cold, but surprisingly it wasn’t a muddy trail. Everything was extremely well maintained, but I would still suggest wearing a good pair of hiking boots to provide you with extra support.

Great hike and a beautiful place. We made it to the upper falls but the nicest section was the middle falls and valley overlook. Lot of climbing so come prepared. Parking lot does fill up quickly so come early or you'll have to do street parking like I did today. Mostly shaded trail which is a plus if you end up coming late morning or afternoon. About a 90 min drive for us and totally worth it.

Great location for hiking. I recommend to bring enough water and food, there are no cafes or fast food there.The path to the falls is going through the forest and it will take about 1,5-2 hours to get the Middle Falls.The nature is beautiful and you can enjoy not only the falls, but also mountain river, lake and lush forest.

This park offers several trails, but you're probably interested in the Woody Trail to Wallace Falls. You'll enter a dense forest, follow a scenic river, then climb up some hills and cross some bridges as you catch some amazing views of a series of waterfalls. Like most visitors, I hiked to the Middle Falls Overlook and head back, which is about a 5 mile trip. It's the most scenic of the vista points. The hike, the forest, and the falls were all amazing!The trail is only mildly steep for the most part and very well maintained - you don't have to be an expert to make it up. You'll have plenty of company though - this is a popular spot.You need a Discovery Pass to park, which you can buy in advance or on the machine at the lot. Parking is TOUGH! I barely snagged a spot since I got there in the late morning, even though it was a weekday. Overflow parking is quite a long walk away, so get here early and good luck on weekends.

This is perfect place for a great family hike. We did the lower and middle falls, which is 4.2 miles in total. We reached there around 9:30 am and luckily found a parking in the main lot. If you do not find parking, there are opportunities to do roadside parking. Going up is mostly uphill, it is not too steep but can be challenging for kids and you may need to make stops in between. The views are fantastic, specially at the middle falls. There is a picnic shelter at the lower falls.

Beautiful trail. It’s a very famous hike so the parking lot will almost always be packed especially on the weekends. The entire trail is well maintained. I clocked in roughly 5 miles all the way to the upper falls and back to the trailhead. It’s totally worth it in my opinion to push through to the upper falls. The trail is quite steep at some points. Make sure to take your breaks in between. Lots of benches spread throughout. Make sure to stay on the trail as there are steep drops especially from the viewpoints. Discover pass is required!

The reason why I only gave 4 stars first is because there is a high-voltage line at the beginning of the trail road to the waterfall.You can accompany your dog and the daily fee is $10.00. Of course, it's worth it, the signs are so good, and there are benches everywhere, so it was so nice to take a rest.The uphill is a bit steep, so it can be a bit difficult for the elderly.It's 4 miles round trip from the parking lot to the lower fall and it's a highly recommended trail.

Great hike with scenic views.While it can get crowded, going in the morning hours will help you avoid the trail traffic.Be prepared for uphill climbs.

I brought a group of ladies and there are three different groups, one that hikes all the way to the top and then I had some that stopped about in the middle and then some that didn't quite make it to the first waterfall but we all had a good time. The weather was great and it was a good walk, lots of roots and rocks. Next time I do this hike, I will take a stick with me.

Beautiful well maintained hiking places suitable for family hikes. If you look forward to go blend with the nature and enjoy the rain forest experience, visit Wallace falls during the February and March to enjoy the natural beauty of water falls, river and hike.

This hike was incredible!! Highly recommended - I did it alone and felt overwhelmed at first (bc I was the first one on the trail) but then found another hiker and it made me feel better. Incredible views!!

This was a perfect hike for a typical PNW day. The trail is well maintained, views all the way along so no pressure for those who aren’t super hikers. The trail is mostly in the woods so even in the rain and wind it was a very pleasant hike. We got to “middle falls” before deciding to turn around. Some steep sections but nothing crazy. Great little hike! Facilities at the parking area were clean and well kept, parking was easy (don’t forget your discover pass), we brought our dog and he met lots of other friends along the route.

Beautiful hike with well mantained trails. Several nice view of yhe falls along the way. Good workout. Went in the snow for first time, amazing.

Visited on a weekday afternoon and the parking lot was fairly empty. It is a state park so discovery pass is required but you can also pay onsite or online. There are bathrooms by the parking lot.The first mile or so is fairly easy with gradual elevation increase but eventually it gets steeper. I hike frequently but this was still a bit challenging of a hike for me. I definitely needed to take several breaks on the way up. There are some benches on the way up to aid with the breaks.The way down is not super easy because of the steepness. My toes kept hitting the front of my shoes causing some discomfort and some of the steps are so tall that stepping down made my discomfort worse.At the lower falls, there are picnic tables under a covered area. It would be nice to take a break and maybe eat a snack there. The middle falls were kind of underwhelming for me but still beautiful.Trailhead to lower falls: ~1.9 miles/830 ft elevationTrailhead to middle falls: ~2.3 miles/1180 ft of elevationTrailhead to upper falls: ~2.4 miles/5.9 miles round trip/1429 ft of elevation

Large parking lot, which is great for big vehicles. We went to the upper falls, which was around 5.0 miles round-trip. Our dogs enjoyed the small crowds and the many places to stop and get a drink. Beautiful waterfalls and such an amazing view! There are a few spots where the step up and downs are pretty steep. At the top, it is misty so the ground can make the roots slippery. Make sure to watch your step. We enjoyed the hiking trails at this state park!

Went on a sunny weekend in April, it was absolutely beautiful. I reached there at 8:40 AM and parking lot was 80% full. You do need discover pass or you can pay onsite. Restrooms were clean.

Beautiful hike , lots of parking 2.5 hours round trip to the upper falls . Not a hard hike. Kid and dog friendly

despite it being a bit challenging for me due to arthritis in my right knee, the journey was absolutely worth it. The hike offered beautiful scenery at every turn. I managed about 1 1/2 hours of walking and, although we didn't make it to the falls this time, what we experienced was gorgeous. Hoping to one day reach the falls, but I'm already grateful for the stunning views we encountered.

The Snoqualmie Pass is beautiful, especially when there is plenty of snow. That's when the summit opens for skiing and snowboarding.The scenery is spectacular. The ski lifts are working, people play in the snow, and there are fireplaces to warm everyone up. You can rent a ski, snowboard, or grab some pizzas while you're there.I went to Summit West, which is close to I-90. The Summit East is a bit further down.It used to be a hassle when parking on the street for a few minutes, and the sheriff gave everyone a written warning. I haven't seen the sheriff there this time.

Great ski resort! I took a snowboard lesson here a few months ago and it was very helpful! It's very beginner friendly because they have 2 carpet lifts on the West area and it's a pretty decent slope even for beginners. They have 4 ski areas but I spent most of my time in Summit West. Beginner lifts are great because there are plenty. It's also the cheapest ski resort I could find while being the nearest from Seattle. Food is expensive just like any other ski resort. Overall a great resort for the price and for new learners!

Really amazing place. We did not go to ski but to spend some time to relax. Fantastic, one of the best places we stayed.

It's an amazing place in summer... Here you can find a good drinks and enjoy live music.If you aren't from Seattle you need to try the Beer Ranier ( it's amazing)Easy to park...Wonderful

The mountain biking needs more work. Still it's nice to use the lift, but the trails are full of lose rocks. You better know how to tune your suspension and wear your best armor. I've seen more than a couple of riders needing 1st aid kit.

Amazing time to spend with your family or on your own. Don't even need to ski or snowboard, just come and enjoy the weather and delicious food at the lodge and awesome atmosphere with alot of different cultures and ethnicities. Live concerts on the weekends and lots of different events to explore. Had a great time at delicious 😋 waffle 🧇 cabin, get it with chocolate 🍫 you won't regret. Kids loved playing in the snow and enjoyed warming up by the fire pit!!!All ages are there and everyone is joyful 😊 and happy.

First day of 2021-2022 season! The opening day is on a Tuesday and is for pass holders only. Because it’s a weekday, the lines are short. Four lifts are open today. There is food and beverage service outside. The fire pits are going. The staff is super friendly. Parking is well organized. Family friendly and a there is a magic carpet for the kids. The snow is fast on the opening day. Well-groomed runs and plenty of powder. Highly recommend this resort.

Easy to get to from Seattle area. Great layout for families. Friendly crowd. And occasionally, you run into perfect condition like today.The magic carpets are great for kids and beginners.A few blue slopes and a couple of black, mountain top kind of tracks available too.

I've been coming here for over a decade and it gets a little worse every year. The snow grooming this year ranged from rough to non-existent. It seems like as soon as they get the park into good shape they close on weekdays. This season was also rough as far as chair breakdowns, and long lines. Overcrowding is a major issue. Weekends are a joke, so I ride on Wednesdays, now they close on Wednesdays. Even when they were open on Wednesdays, they had limited operations, so lines were still an issue. Unless I hear something will be done about 45 minute lines and powder days that get wrecked by the horde is less than an hour, this will be my last season as a season pass holder. Time to get a splitboard.

It's a great spot with so much to do. Mainly it's easy to get to thanks to i90.Some of the best Hiking is right here.Skiing is OK, not exactly the best, just ok.Enough services for some quick food, gas and even decent restaurants and hotels.

We only skied the front end runs and that was plenty. Had the kids in ski school all day, which is expensive but apparently effective. One kid went from zero to riding the lift and barely falling a whole run. Price for things is about what you’d expect. Skiing is expensive these days. The staff are way nicer than I’ve seen anywhere lately. We didn’t even see a large portion of the runs but everything seemed to be open. Will be happy to return.

Skiing was so much fun with my family. Customer service was so helpful. It was my family first time skiing and they guided us what to purchase. I love how there’s different section for different levels. Definitely coming back.

Get lift & rental tickets online so you can skip the pay desk. There are lockers to rent they are self pay. They have food & a bar. They have night skiing & plenary of parking! It’s close to the city 1hr drive & they have Green, Blue, Black diamond runs. Also have inter tubing.

Excellent place to go for a short drive (45 mins) from Redmond WA. Generally lift services are not open for tourists in spring time but is still open for folks to come and enjoy themselves. We had a good time when we went there recently.

I'm so happy to have a ski resort near our town. The accessibility is very good. And they have several runs for various levels. Will definitely buy a season pass for next winter.

Great place to learn, and close to the city. Plus they have 4 different areas with different terrain for different ability levels

Terrible operation at magic carpet. We are here on the first day of 2024. I was teaching my 5 year old son in the magic carpet area. The magic carpet was operating with only one staff on the top but no one at the bottom (I later observed all the magic carpets were operated this way on the summit west.) unfortunately my son fell off after getting on the magic carpet. I shouted the loudest as I can for 10 seconds until a coach nearby came to pull the emergency stop, and the staff walk from the top to check after that. Lucky enough, my son is fine but I was terrified and decided to go back to the car right away.I reported my safety concern to the patrol right after, they took my name and phone but so far no one reached out yet. To be honest, I think they are just being ignorant, I don’t feel they care about my concerns at all.You are on your own if you decided to take the magic carpet when no staff is observing at the bottom. The other staff on the top won’t hear you at all. Pray for the best when accident happen, don’t hope the resort will do anything

Great service very friendly staff (Erin, Lauren and everyone who served us were amazing) but the food was just not in par. Except the morrocan chicken dish that was alright, everything else tasted bad and over cooked. They even messed up the oysters by adding a creamy sauce. Wine selection is limited so consider taking your own favorite bottles and pay the fork fees.Chopped salad sauce was over powering. Chicken was overcooked. Halibut fish tasted bland and over cooked too. With all due respect the chef needs to put more efforts and get some culinary lessons.

I've been here twice and it wasn't as great the 2nd round. Though customer service was great.. got us in last minute. What wasn't great was the meals. It was very expensive. Kiddos didn't like the mac and cheese. The beet salad was the only thing I liked. (King salmon was dry) Husband got a ribeye steak and he said it wasn't quality cut. The truffle fries were ok. Overall - we won't return to eat dinner. Maybe appetizers and drinks.. but that would be another review.

Great wine and delicious food! Great lounge seating near the massive fireplace! The staff is knowledgeable and very attentive. The Mac and cheese is to die for.. it also helps that the views are amazing! Simply a great time and so relaxing, can't wait to go back.

We recently photographed Jordan & Taylor's wedding at Suncadia + Swiftwater, and all we can say is WHOA. This place starts off by grabbing you with the expansive views and stunning lodge, but going through the motions of an entire wedding day, we saw every tiny detail done PERFECTLY. The way this place, alongside Suncadia Resort, executed our couple's vision, was rather incredible to watch. Can't recommend this location and staff enough to host your wedding!

I cannot overstate how beautiful this place is!! Our family came to sled in the back and they were very accommodating to our group. The staff is very friendly, and the food delicious, for adults and the children in our group. The hot chocolate is delicious! The pulled pork sandwich and the truffle Mac n cheese is delicious. The Flatbreads were a decent size and shareable. The chicken strip were the perfect crispiness according to the adults in the group. We got to sit by an open fire and dry our coats while watching a football game. Food is delicious, staff so very kind and friendly. They were happy to tell us where the best sledding is and make us hot cocoas. Thank you Swiftwater Cellars for giving us such a great experience!

We had a girl's day at the winery and it was amazing! Wine selection was great and so were the appetizers we ordered. I'll definitely be coming back!

We absolutely loved the Swiftwater. Hoist restaurant was beautifully decorated. Wonderful ambiance and service. The food, oh the food. The best meal, without a shadow of a doubt, we’ve had in literal years. The servers are all knowledge and friendly. The managers work well together and watching the rhythm of their food line workers was really fun. 10/10 all around. Can’t wait to come back and try their flavors in a different season!

The food, wagyu burger, brisket flatbreadand the charcuterie board are all great. Flight of wines, local craft beers, and drinks are all good as well. Hopefully, you come here after a round of golf at Rope Rider!

People aren’t lying when they say this place has the best food in the whole area.We loved it here! Came for wine tasting and lunch and then back for dinner.The staff is sweet and attentive and the wine pours are generous so you get what you pay for.The flat breads are delicious ( Brie and raspberry)SWC salad was delicious and super refreshing. The chicken was grilled so nice.For dinner we had Gnocchi and and flatbread and again sooooooo delicious and flavourful. Dessert doesn’t disappoint either!

Unfortunately this restaurant disappointed on almost every front. The restaurant design is big, open, and very loud. Giant TV for sports. If looking for family friendly, maybe ok, but definitely not for a date night. And prices are very high for a family place.Food was awful and made us sick. The wine was pretty good, so gave 1 extra star.

Overall a very good experience. It is a little bit loud in the main dining area but that didn't bother us. There is a choice of outside seating with a beautiful view. Flat bread was one of the best I've had. Wagyu beef brisket was amazing. My wife had salmon which was an off the menu special. It was very well prepared. Our server, after taking our order, was nowhere to be found. It wasn't a problem because other servers were more than happy to bring us what we needed.

What a neat place! The vibes are immaculate, especially with the holiday decorations. We tried the Seasonal and No. 9 flights and loved every variety. The charcuterie was pretty good for the price but the summer sausage felt like a low-value filler. The mushroom and lentil soup was so good as well!! A beautiful winter experience. The staff were all super friendly and the building and bathrooms were very clean. Love that they are dog friendly too! Will definitely be back the next time I’m in the area and will definitely be recommending this spot to my friends and family!

Perfect from beginning to end. The walk from the car is lovely with mining history. The building is just gorgeous. Views are beautiful. Service was fantastic…drinks and food were the star of the show. What a great experience…I’ll be back!

Food was decent and service was alright. Our group had a pretty bad meal mix up and someone who had ordered a vegetarian dish ended up getting one with meat, which is awful. For the prices of this place, I would expect more.

Our waiter told us that they recently added the Chicken Piccata to their menu, and boy am I glad that they did. This was hands down one of the best chicken dishes I've ever had. The chicken was perfectly breaded and the sauce that covered the chicken and potatoes still has my mouth watering.The group I was with also got a plethora of appetizers, desserts, and drinks which were all outstanding. I personally had the Manhattan which was my favorite (of many) while in Washington for a few days. Can't wait to return some day!

Abbey was our server this evening and she was lovely. So glad y'all decided to promoter her - today was her first day with her new promotion as a server. She was great with recommendations and happily accommodated food preferences. Overall greatful for such a great birthday celebration with my twin and we will definitely be back.

Pretty wide selection of beer for on premise and to-go. A nice touch, the to-go beer is just as cheap as you'll find in the grocery store. Nice staff, nice atmosphere, highly recommended if you want a beer. Kids welcome, dogs welcome outside. Free popcorn. Outside food welcome - what little food is for sale here is really just for gastronomic emergencies.

Great beer, great people, fun events, hilarious marketing and an amazing atmosphere filled with happy fans of beer. It’s also kid-friendly with a large outdoor seating area and stage for live music.

Love ironhorse!! This was our first visit to the brewery the indoor area was a little smaller then I expected but it's a cool spot. Other than popcorn I'm not sure what food they have.

This is, by far, my favorite place to be. An absolute must visit if you're a fan of beer, outdoor seating, and welcoming vibes. Thanks :)

In downtown Ellensburg, this is a pleasant pub from a popular Eastern Washington craft brewery.The place is yellow outside, which is kind of asking to come in. The inside is welcoming and well decorated. There is also a nice patio that is quite enjoyable when the sun is out.The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about their brews.The beer was fine. You have a decent variety to choose from and can go for a flight if you want to try several kinds.The food was the classic fares for this kind of place, was served in good portion and tasted good.The prices were fair.Overall a good experience.

The food.and drink here were excellent! The staff was very friendly and brought out our meals and drinks very quickly. The oven was out, so we were not able to order pizza like we intended, but the Mac and cheese and quinoa wrap that we got were very good for not a bad price. We were also able to fill up a growler for cheap. Highly recommend going here for either hanging out for a drink or for good eats

Taproom has been on our list to visit for a while, so glad we finally made it in! Service was fantastic, tried several beers 🍺🍺 and a few of their newly acquired bad granny ciders . The space is cozy and they serve popcorn. They have these cute little coffee tables made out of half kegs! To go beer is available so grabbed a 6 pack for home 👍

Iron Horse is a pioneer to the Ellensburg chanel of local breweries. As most residents know the movement of the older tasting rooms, Iron Horse's current newer location is in their local production facility.This is a smaller sized public brewery with a nice larger outdoor seating area. Feel welcomed by there family friendly board game filled library.Kids and pups welcome!The staff are extremely friendly and thier beer speaks for themselves.As a reminder, they do not serve food other then their fresh popped popcorn; they are very welcoming to outside meals, so BYOF.

So happy to have a brewery location to stop and enjoy an Iron Horse beer again. The Tap Room has both indoor and outdoor seating, tasty brews, guest ciders, friendly staff and FREE popcorn. IYKYK We'll definitely be back next time we're driving through.

The one beer I had was good. $7.50 for a 20 oz beer. Guess its been a minute since I have purchased a beer at a brewery.

Been wanting to go here for years. Was not disappointed at all. Bartender was awesome, beer was great with a few that are not available in stores. The outside look from the road does not show how great this place is inside. Even has family games and popcorn.

Nice pub in Ellensburg. Great beer, nice food selection. Our favorite beer is Irish Death. It's a dark beer with a really light taste. Lots if seating available, stop in for a quick beer and a bite to eat.

I can only base my experience off the beer. It was good. I got the flight. I was not pleased with the high five hefe though. Finger guns is great. Staff was pleasant. They offer food, no ice cream though. Outside seating was nice even on a hot day if you get a shaded spot.

Whether you're strolling down its cobblestone streets adorned with vibrant flowers in the spring, immersing yourself in the golden hues of autumn, or savoring the magical winter wonderland during the holiday season, Leavenworth offers a slice of paradise all year round. From indulging in authentic German cuisine to exploring the abundance of outdoor activities, there's something for everyone in this little town. So, if you're looking for a place to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and recharge your soul, look no further than Leavenworth, where every visit is a refreshing and rejuvenating experience.

A charming town in Leavenworth, Bavarian town is famous for its traditions. It has a great stretch of pubs, cute shops for gifts. The pubs are stretched all along with a choice of random sitting area outside / eating area while you mingle with people. Enjoyed my evening and early morning.. Plenty of options for wine and beer variety. Beer and wine lovers are definitely spoiled for choices on the beverages. Very quiet town, good for evening strolls with amazing views of the mountains surrounding it and river flowing on one side. 🌈Awesome 👣👣👣

Only one thing is missing in this area -MUSIC!Guys , add some good tones and songs , especially when it’s a festive Christmas season. on the streets and of wouldBe more fun forTourists that coming toVisit your town from so far .

Great place to be when the holiday decorations are up. You can bring your own sled or buy one from the stores. There are lots of wine tasting or tap rooms for beer and cider, so make sure you reserve some time for those. The sidewalks can get pretty slippery, so be careful. I deducted 1 star because it is almost impossible to find a parking place without having to circle the block multiple times. We ended up parking a few blocks away and had to walk on the icy roads to get here.

No parking which is very a problem, there are signs that say don’t park here in winter time.Had to just come very early just to not get caught illegally parking. The lights are very beautiful, but it’s very slippery in winter time, I was not expecting to freeze yet but I did eventually had to go to the middle area for heat. I didn’t realize that area with the light has heat. Maybe it’s just light but make sure you don’t fall because I feel two times.

We were dropping off something at the park. And it's Beautiful part with swings toys waters on the otter. So it's really nice. It's nice for walking.

The Christmas lights are so beautiful twinkling at night, that's why they are called Christmas town of Washington state. I've been here in Levenworth at spring and it's just as beautiful place in spring, perfect weather for me cool fresh air, beautiful mountain views surround you. Love to shop at the quaint shops.

Leavenworth is a beautiful town!Bonus? This awesome park in the middle of everything!!Winter is an amazing time of year to visit and I felt like I was right back in the breathtaking state of Bavaria, Germany 🇩🇪 when we arrived. There are countless little shops and eateries to explore. I think the only things missing were Glühwein, Crêpes, and the familiar speech of Hochdeutsch, but that may have been just an oversight on my part. We will be back!

What a nice gazebo in a beautiful and German themed area. I look forward to returning next year.

Nice place to sit and eat ice cream. Nice public bathrooms. Probably the coolest, freshest tasting public water fountain anywhere near the bathrooms. The speakers in the Pavilion were playing modern hits in polka/accordion style. Grandkids had a blast dancing by themselves in the pavilion and running up and down the sledding hill. During the winter we used to drive 3 hours to go sledding on the short bunny hill here, grab a hot cocoa and do the candlelight procession. On our bucket list whenever we visit the Pacific Northwest.

So many Christmas lights and I love it. It’s beautiful in the day time but even better towards the evening because the entire town lights up. The front street park has trees covered in lights from top to bottom. Just a great vibe. There are public restrooms

Leavenworth is a beautiful little town and was even more fun with Maifest. The parade and performances were loved by adults and kids too.

Our recent trip to Leavenworth, Washington, was an enchanting experience that exceeded all expectations. Nestled in the heart of the Cascades, this picturesque Bavarian village transports visitors to a world of old-world charm, stunning scenery, and warm hospitality.From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the village's quaint architecture, with its Bavarian-inspired facades adorned with colorful flower boxes and charming storefronts. Wandering through the cobblestone streets felt like stepping into a fairytale, with every corner revealing a new delight to discover.One of the highlights of our visit was exploring the local shops and boutiques. From artisanal chocolates to handcrafted souvenirs, Leavenworth offers a treasure trove of unique finds that are sure to delight shoppers of all tastes. We particularly enjoyed browsing the Christmas store, where we found a variety of festive decorations to bring home as mementos of our trip.Of course, no visit to Leavenworth would be complete without indulging in its culinary delights. The village boasts a diverse array of restaurants and eateries, serving up everything from hearty German fare to gourmet cuisine. We savored every bite of our meals, whether dining on schnitzel and sauerkraut or indulging in freshly baked pastries at one of the local bakeries.In addition to its charming village center, Leavenworth offers a wealth of outdoor activities for nature lovers. We spent a day hiking in nearby trails, soaking in the breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and forests. The crisp mountain air invigorated our spirits, and we returned to the village feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.Overall, our time in Leavenworth was nothing short of magical. Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway, a family adventure, or simply a chance to unwind amidst stunning scenery, this charming Bavarian village has something for everyone. We can't wait to return and experience its warmth and beauty once again.

It was wonderful to watch lightning during Christmas time of the year. Kids had lot of fun at this park in snow. It was overcrowded but still we had lot of fun. Only thing bit annoying is that you have to park 20 minutes away to come by walk to this park. Well the glad part is entire town is lit with lighting so you can be well dressed and walk!

if you want visit here during winter time, car rental will not supply chain for the tires plus shovel are not included. it's worth taking tour bus vs driving up into mountain .. we sure survived drinking espresso for long drive

Leavenworth is a beautiful place to visit, especially around the holidays. The lights were fantastic, the people friendly and the food excellent!

This ride was really nice, I'm happy it was open during the winter season. The best experience is to buy your tickets online to go through the line faster. It has great view when you are going down o ly sucks when you have to keep your eyes on the person in front of you so you don't bump into them but it was a nice ride.

Waterfront Park in Leavenworth is a hidden gem that deserves a 5-star rating! Nestled right behind the bustling town, this park offers a serene escape. While the parking area is unpaved and can get crowded during peak hours, it’s worth parking a bit farther away and enjoying a short walk.Once inside, you'll find a wonderful place for a stroll, with several well-maintained pathways to explore. Families will love the new kids' park, equipped with modern amenities that entertain children for hours. For elders and those looking to relax, there are plenty of tables and seating areas to sit back and unwind.The park’s tranquil atmosphere provides a perfect backdrop for relaxation, whether walking, playing, or simply enjoying the natural beauty. Waterfront Park is a peaceful haven that offers something for everyone, making it a must-visit spot in Leavenworth. It is highly recommended!

This is a nice little park along the water front. If you’re only in town a short time, and don’t have time for a big outside adventure you can get your outdoors fill exploring the trails here. You can definitely have a couple hours of fun an exercise here.

Really beautiful park even for a regular walk. Especially filled with colors during fall. Best time to go to see fall colors is around Sept last week to first week of Oct.

Great little pathway! Especially nice in the winter when there is snow. There is also an area that kids like to go sledding near the parking lot in the end.

Fun beach, swimming, picnicing, trails, playground, free parking in Leavenworth, tubing adventures, in town on the Wenatchee River. Hiking, biking & picnicking. Swimming in the river. Five stars for me Great place for the family

Beautiful park with walking trails next to the river. In March, the ground was compact dirt and not muddy. We went to the playground which was great for older kids 5+ (fewer things for toddlers). Seems to be an easy walk from downtown and is bike-accessible.

Escape the busy streets of town for a bit and enjoy the view of the Wenatchee River here. Nice trails, can walk over the bridge to cross the river. Gorgeous scenery, the mountains all around us amazed me! Such a neat place to visit!

Beautiful and easy walk! My soggy doggy and I had a great time. It wasn’t very busy because it was cold and rainy. I imagine in summer it’s packed!

Make sure to include a visit to the enchanting waterfront park during your trip to Leavenworth. It offers a surreal experience, with each season bringing its unique charm to this tranquil spot. It's a quaint and peaceful destination, and our usual routine is to begin at the waterfront park and then stroll into downtown as we make our way back.A drawback is that the maps are not very informative, making navigation quite challenging for someone visiting for the first time, in my opinion.

This is the best part of visiting Leavenworth, in my opinion. We walked it for the first time, the first few days of June. There are still flowers and sunning butterflies and dragonflies all over. There is an aproximately two and a half mile loop of mostly flat, gravel path. There are no tables. There were a few benches to sit and rest along the path. We only saw evidence of self-important types who are too good to clean up after thier dog or themselves once...a dog mess and granola bar wrapper dressed the trail as we wrapped up back by the bridge. A trash receptacle was feet away. Dogs are allowed, on leash...but for goodness sake, bring bags and clean up after them. No waste bags are provided along the trail. Bring your own and clean up.A few other people were there but there were several points we felt alone for a few minutes as well. The view across the river, on the far side from town, is picturesque. There are plaques showcasing the biodiversity and history of the islands creation, which make up this park. There are public restrooms by the bridge, near the begining of the trail from downtown Leavenworth. There is also a neat, if crumbly staircased lookout at the trails fork before the bridge. We chose to go right and cross as going left keeps you directly by town.It does get hot quickly already, so I suggest visiting before lunch. There is a significantly steep, if paved road to get down before you come to the entrance. Those with mobility issues may have an easier entry from the boat ramp...though the path is gravel and has some bumps.

Wonderful views of flowing river in between hills. The sunset view is worth watching.

Very serene, relaxing. The trail felt refreshing and the wildlife were beautiful. The view of the landscape is wonderful and the area provides plentiful chances for photos.

Waterfront Park is just down the hill from the main street of Leavenworth and provides a nice respite from the bustle of the main drag. There is a nice playground for the kids, plus a nice walking path that goes along the water. Worth strolling down here for some exercise and change of scenery. A sign says to be watchful for bears; we didn't see any. (That's not a complaint!)

Leavenworth is lovely this time of year and Waterfront Park is the best part of the trip. It was fairly crowded on the weekend of 23 October, but the leaves and trees muffle the sounds and it was so nice and quiet. And the leaves were spectacular. Leavenworth itself is a cute little town. Not quite German but does bring back memories. It's roughly a 2.5 hour trip from Seattle. Take route 2 over 90 and you will see amazing scenery. Be prepared to stop often to take in the views but do watch out for all the crazy photographers walking alongside the road to nab their shots.

I'm my opinion this is one of the best city parks in the State. They need to clean out the pond of debris so the water can flow. Also plant trees that are not cotton wood. But besides those two complaints the park is a treasure in Leavenworth that's hardly talked about.

Every time we come here, it's usually during Oktoberfest and the place is busy. Not today, as it's just a normal Sunday evening in January. Limited vegetarian options, the soup options both have meat. Nice servers, beautiful wooden interior.

The weekend we went it was so cold hot that only a nice cold beer could hit a spot for us, so we went to the icicle and no regrets! The fly was per-fe-ct, and the little charcuterie so good!! I’m so in love with the nuts in that board. But besides that we were in a budget trip, and for sure we had a good time for less than 50 buck w tips! And the staff so well trained! One of the waitresses noticed that my dog was thirsty and brought her fresh water!!! That hit a spot in my heart! FOR SURE we’ll come back!

Liked the vibe at this place….its at the end of the street and you get a view of mountains, people with happy faces and smiles around. We got 2 flights and got to taste a lot of beers. My favourite ones are magic meadow, enchantments , alpenhaze and dark lager.

Really cool environment inside and out! Loved the fire pits and heat lamps! Loved the German Chocolate Cake Stout! Yum!

We really enjoyed all the beers we tried here. I was even apprehensive about the German Chocolate Cake, and it was delicious. The Pale Ale and Raspberry Wheat were our favorites. Several food options to pick from and the meat and cheese board was a win. Pretty busy on a Sunday afternoon, but there was a lot of seating inside. Will stop again when passing through.

Great local brewpub in Old Town Leavenworth. Came here for trivia night and fam had a great time. Lots of craft brews, ipas, all fantastic beers. Only have a limited bar menu, so eat if you're really hungry before.Patio, bar and downstairs area, very cool spot.

It’s my first time visiting Leavenworth, many people recommended this place so thought I’d visit. I am not a fan of beer/cider but was surprised. One of the best breweries I have been to, do come here if you are in Leavenworth. Try their huckleberry cider, it was delicious 😋. Never heard of huckleberry cider though, this will be my go to cider here in future.

Great spot for beers and a quick bite! We loved the grilled cheese and tomato bisque. The sourdough was delicious and perfectly toasted and the cheese was deliciously melted and creamy. I got the Dirtyface Amber. It's was smooth and nutty and perfect for a winter afternoon. Cool spot!

Came here for the beer and left with a 6 pack. One of my favorite pleased to head when in Leavenworth. Great beer, and also has good food. Nice outdoor seating as well.

We were looking for a place to get a quick bite before attending the outdoor production of the sound of music. This corner brewery filled the bill 100%. We had the meat and cheese tray and it was enough for my wife and I. All the ingredients were fresh and tasty. Our friends had a pretzel and chicken salad. We were all pleased and satisfied. Our dish was 15 including tax. Lots of beer to choose from as well as soft drinks and water. Lots of seating both inside and out on the patio. On really hot days they have misters going outside to make it more pleasurable

If you're in Leavenworth, or if you're anywhere near and love beer, Icicle Brewing is the place to be. Their standards (Bootjack IPA and Dark Persuasion porter, for example) are always available (and always amazing), but they're constantly adapting and collaborating coming up with amazing brews! Bonus points: They've got great snacks (pretzels, veggie plates, etc.) that are perfect for an afternoon in the sun ... with beer.

Stopped here back around Memorial Day and loved the town and this breweries beer. Service was great too! Keep up the good work!!

We only had beer but it was great. Fast and friendly service. Very clean and up beat atmosphere. They have outdoor and indoor setting. And family friendly for all ages. Next time we are this way we are coming back hands down. A stop you have to make!!

Neat! Loved the beer and the ambience. Quick service and they had one vegetarian dish on the menu yay!!Beer is good though

I am not a big Beer fan. But this place really made me think again. I was left mesmerized with Enhancement Mist. It was so smooth and so good. I also tasted Dragon tail IPA and it was pretty good too. I am definitely visiting this place again.You have a place to sit outdoors and you can also sit underground. One thing you need to remember is that you can order one beer at a time and you can't buy for another person.

We came during Oktoberfest and the brewery was right next to the main line, so it was very crowded to say the least. The wrist bands were a good idea, but only able to order a beer per a wristband was not helpful. I’m sure that during other times, it’s much easier just showing the ID at the bar! Good was good and the beers were even better love that they were pet friendly on the patio!

A must-try on any visit to Leavenworth. This brewery is in a prime location in a super touristy town and could be completely mediocre and still get tons of business - but this is easily one of the top breweries I've ever visited. I went twice over two days and got two flights with different beers, and all were EXCELLENT. The Czech Dark Lager and Tiramisu Stout were particular favorites. The food menu is limited but very tasty; the pretzels were fresh and they have a variety of mustards for you to try, and the turkey sandwich was very yummy!!! Extra bonus is the dog-friendly patio. Service was friendly and efficient. Definitely recommend!!

Here for Oktoberfest festivities.Award winning Alpenhaze IPA was delicious! We all agreed it was worthy of that gold medal.We had great luck with the weather and sat outside and were able to enjoy some people watching.

Nice large German themed craft beer hall. There is upstairs, downstairs and outdoor seating. You can order from the bar or a QR code at your table. They also have a gift shop and sell their beer to go in 4 packs. Fun spot to visit, although I found their beers fairly pricey.

When you pull into town at lunchtime, this is a nice stop for a cold drink and some nice food, small menu but tasty food. The hummus and the pretzels with cheese are filling for a late lunch. There's plenty of seating outside or inside, downstairs. The servers are helpful with suggestions also!

Most of their beer is pretty awesome! But i shy away from buying it in cans or growlers because it tastes significantly better on tap.Wish they had more food options.When i visited last they had a spelling bee competition! It was pretty fun.

Visited Saturday 1/22/22. $105 total all day lift, preferred parking, fees and taxes. After rain earlier in the week, conditions were hard ice with a thin groomed layer. Less than 1/3 of the trails were groomed and they were scrapped down after my first 3 runs. 2-2 chair lifts take you up to a high speed quad and 1 more 2 seat chair. I was impressed by the speed of the quad at 17-18mph but most importantly- it didn’t stop running one time during my visit. I’ve visited other Washington resorts where the quad chairs stop frequently but that’s not the case at Mission Ridge. So despite a line at the lift, it goes by fast. All 2 chairs are old school and you gotta be familiar so with new skiers and kids they did stop but not too much. Be prepared to ride with strangers as they don’t have a social distancing policy on the lifts. I was a bit disappointed to see they let early birds stage equipment at beginning of lift line thereby reserving first in line spot without having to stay with the gear.Lodge was nice with usual fare usual prices. Bathrooms are clean and good condition except the bathrooms located close to the parking lot. They were fairly run down and unkept. Customer service was very good with every engagement we had with the Mission Ridge team.Today I was only able to hit 1/4 of blues and greens and one blackD but once the groomed was scrapped it was seriously dangerous. The well traveled skier can easily see the mountain would be fantastic skiing under better conditions. Trails run today. Upper and lower Tumwater, Sun spot, upper and lower lip lip, bomber bowl, toketie, Mimi, and boundary road.

Friendly small mountain vibe. Good length green runs for my little kids to learn on. Most chairs are the old school 2-seaters, but they do have 1 very nice upgraded quad chair lift with conveyor loading and windshields (chair 2) and it's the best - goes to the top for an epic 360 view!

Friendly ski resort. Yesterday conditions weren't the best...no fault of the resort...but no lines at the lifts! Nice people. Helpful staff. Clean restrooms. Tailgate lunch in the parking lot near the lodge. Good time had by all.

Mission hadn't received snow in about a month, but the skiing was still excellent. The groomers do an outstanding job - it's like a small, uncrowded Deer Valley. We love this place...

Love! Love! Nothing but love for this place! Read the reviews and you will find that there seems to be a unanimous consensus about how great the vibe and staff are! There are several resorts close by but already planning our next trip back here! Cannot wait to go back!

I travel all the way from Texas to Ski HERE! Yep, it's That Good. They've got a great variety of slopes that are actually Fun! Lift lines are very short & fast, little to no wait! Mission Ridge staff are easy-going & friendly. Resort is Very easy to get to, Free parking, only ~25 mins from hotels in Wenatchee. Excellent Ski Rental selection, Well-fitting Boots. Cozy & Tasty mid-mountain restaurant. Enjoy!

Mission Ridge is the quintessential "old school" ski area. People are friendly, service is great, lines are short, grooming is fantastic, and there is enough interesting terrain for skiers of any level. I gave up on ski areas closer to Seattle owned by big corporations and made Mission my primary ski area. Views are pretty sweet also.

Great home town ski area. Good snow, friendly staff, and close to town. Washingtons only real ski town. Light snow year so far (2023) but all lifts spinning.

We LOVE Mission Ridge!! I take my kids here every year at least once for skiing. We always have the best time! The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. The ski instructors are kind, knowledgeable and patient. The slopes are well groomed, tons of fun runs for every level. Parking is easy. Lodge has food, retail shop and nice clean bathrooms. We will keep going back!

It is awesome to grow up with a mountain 25 minutes from where you live. It was pretty busy today, but the shuttle was quick to pick us up and get us to the mountain.

Great place for beginners, Freedom Pass program exceeded my own expectations. The staff members are amazing, especially the ski school staff. The energy they all give off is contagious, I found myself laughing and joking along with them. By lesson #4 we were all on a first name basis. It's been a great experience and I'm looking forward for next season, thanks Mission Ridge!

Great one if you can stay in Wenatchee for a night. We live in Seattle so it's a bit far as a winter season go-to ski resort. This year the snow conditions in Seattle nearby resorts weren't as good so we wind up here, and we are not disappointed! The place is much less crowded, and when you go up the mountain the snow is very good! It's also just about 25 minutes away from Wenatchee where you can find plenty of food varieties. We'll definitely come back to spend more weekends this season!

The local ski resort of choice. Gorgeous views, great options for food and beverages, fun activities, super friendly and fun staff. An overall warming experience even though you’re in the cold, snowy mountain valley. Oh and clean bathrooms!!! That says A LOT about how this resort cares about the quality of everything they provide their guests.
