Mount Rainier National Park is a picturesque wilderness covering an area of 263,000 acres around Washington's highest peak. It boasts of wildflower meadows and glaciers that add to its breathtaking beauty. This national park is a must-visit destination for nature lovers who wish to admire the stunning views and hike the surrounding area. The magnificent landscape offers incredible photo opportunities, but it's hard to capture the full splendor in pictures alone.
Seriously!!! Wow!!! Such an amazing national park. This was our first trip to Washington state and we loved it! My wife and I hiked the silver falls trail. Unfortunately the park was closed for the winter, but we were still able to hike into the park. We will definitely be returning in the summer to enjoy the entire national park

Mt Rainier is absolutely gorgeous! It is a must visit on my list! The hiking trails by the visitor center are stunning. The drive up is also beautiful with waterfalls along it. It felt so magical being up in the clouds! I went in July and there was still snow on the trails but it made the hike more fun!
Sadie Collier — Google review
Wow this park was incredible. Views are amazing-even from the road! There were so many different hikes (our favorite was skyline trail at paradise) and you could even find hikes that were family friendly. Make sure to add this park to your bucket list. Be aware, there’s no gas stations in the park but they do have some just outside so plan accordingly.
Quincy Bowcut — Google review
Unbelievably beautiful! The views were amazing from all the hiking spots around Sunshine. Sourdough ridge and a few other shorter trails had great vistas, although there was too much smoke to see the peak of Mt. Rainier the day I was there.
I was thankful I had some extra layers with me, as it was very cold. It peaked at about 40F in the afternoon, despite being August. So for newbies, bring a hat and an extra jacket!
The rangers there in the morning gave fantastic tips for all the trails (and some spots to sit and sketch while avoiding damaging the delicate wildlife), and the gift shop was warm and lovely after my brisk hikes.

One of my favorite national parks. Got to visit in the fall. Our hike up was consumed by foggy mist, on the way down it cleared up though so we got to take in some of the views. A must go place!

Easily one of the most breathtaking U.S. national parks! Mount Rainier is a sight to see at least once in your life. This park is split into different sections due to the size and layout. We spent one day in Paradise and one day in Sunrise, with some stops in between. On a sunny day, you can see Mount Rainier from most places throughout the park. A cloudy day could definitely be a bummer. Unfortunately, our day in Sunrise was all cloud. There are a ton of amazing trails of various difficulties. Just do some research and pick your favorites! Be sure to get out there early so you’re not fighting for a parking spot. And try to go in the shoulder months, if possible. We opted for mid-September. Also, be mindful of the wildlife – the chipmunks will do anything for some of your food. One last thing… the elevation is a little high at points (I started feeling the effects while hiking the Skyline Trail) so just be sure to stay hydrated and take your time. I can’t wait to go back!

This is a gorgeous breathtaking national park that I had the opportunity to travel to back in 2019 and would love to go back. Every view seem to be more gorgeous than the first. I loved taking pictures here but they didn't do justice to the immense beauty. It's God country and would highly recommend going here if you hare ever in the area or just make a trip here to see it and hike the area.

20 stars!
Been here many times and it never gets old. Always something new. This time we went in June and there was still snow and ice out in places. Some roads were still closed at the top.
We wanted to see as much as possible and the waterfalls were on my list.
Wear good shoes/boots, take a camera and a jacket. Then just dive in and discover nature at its most beautiful. Literally every turn had something to offer.
I'll let the photos convince you :-)
Ps- pets NOT allowed. Wheelchair accessible mostly but not to good viewpoints.
Price is $30 per car or free if you have the Washington National Park Pass.

Visited the South side of the National Park in a couple of hours, didn't have enough time to hike much, but saw a couple different waterfalls, used some restroom, and made it to the top of the MT.Rainer base at the Paradise Inn Lodge with a dinner hall, rock fireplaces, Grand Hall, little cafe, gift shop, and 123 rooms costing either $180 or $260 per night with incredible breathtaking views. Great place to getaway, get some fresh air, and go on an adventure with breathtaking views and hiking trails!

Beautiful park! Mount Rainier is a stunning volcano towering amongst the landscape. The winding road throughout the park is so fun to drive with lush greenery for that quintessential “Washington” vibe. The clouds cleared today to reveal a bright sunny sky with stunning views. This was my second time here and just as amazing as the first!
Alycia McDuff — Google review
It was so much better than I even expected. The easily accessible hikes are pretty easy and super beautiful. The drive up to paradise is stunning and I loved all the view points. The entrance fee was $30 for a normal sized car. The roads are of course full of curves so drive carefully.

I will be back when the snow melts. We went peak snow days when the snow was up all the way up to their second floor of the visitor center and all the roads after that were closed. But it was absolutely amazing. Coming from Georgia where it barely snows and even if it were to, they either don't stack or doesn't last longer than a day, it was so refreshing to see so much snow and the mountains themselves were beautiful.
There are native birds there too that will fly up really close to you. It was such a great experience.
Also, make sure you have snow chains ready because they will check at the gate during snow seasons.

One of the most scenic drives I’ve been on—I’ve been to most of the lower 48. This park is massive, not overly crowded and a nature photographers paradise. All times of day, all lighting, it just stands out like one giant masterpiece of snowy peaks and lush wooded passes. If you get the chance to go, do not hesitate.

STUNNING. This was one of my best days on my trip nor my life. I loved the climbing and site seeing in this park. this is one of the best parks in the US and my favorite by far, maybe almost as good as Yellowstone. The amazing views from this mountain are so amazing and the multiple areas to go off and explore for your self are just as good.

Mount Rainier is spectacular, with all the gorgeous views for which you might hope. Paradise Visitor Center is very well done, with great information, a good film, and a handy base for the nearby day hike trails. The trails themselves are well kept and well marked. We encountered a ranger who was literally shoveling steps in the snow to make passing through easier.
Bret Fynewever — Google review
Easily one of my favorite national parks for the vertical hikes, wildflowers, and the meeting of rock and flowing water.
The paradise loop hike that goes through panoramic point is a top to hike two hike of all time for me (most pictures from there).

Holy Moly that’s the most impressive mountain I have ever seen. Whether it’s from Seattle or the base in the park. The drive up to Paradise went through some impressive stands of forest on the way up to many scenic pullovers and waterfalls. I had limited time and chose to hike up the Skyline trail from the visitor Center. Three of my favourite things in the natural world, an impressive mountain, glaciers, and waterfalls. All in one breathtaking view. The trail up was paved but steep. Amazing views in all directions. A gem in the National Park system.

Beautiful park that is a two hour drive ish from Seattle. Be sure to get there early because there will be huge line of people trying to get in. We got there around 9 and it took over an hour to get to the gate. There also might be people along the line trying to sell you some cherries. Place is beautiful but when going in the summer it will be crowded at all the easy to access place which might be a turn off for some. Lots of wildlife to see as you pass by which is really fun

Breathtaking! Lots of trails with different difficulties. Very easy to drive around during spring and summer. I went for a picnic but you cannot sit at most sites and eat, so I found a remote spot and had a picnic in my trunk
Huma Farooq — Google review
The mountain was amazing. I went in early August, and it was great. It's a very popular national park, so expect a lot of people, but not very many parking spots. The visitor centers are quite crowded, and the food isn't that great, to be completely honest. The views were nice, and it wasn't that difficult of a hike to get up to the scenic areas. The animals are quite used to people and will approach you regardless of whether you have food or not. But remember to not feed them, because they will start depending on people for their food, rather than naturally scavenging it. If you see any small rock cairns near the river, knock them over, as they are unnatural to the environment. It's fine to build them, just make sure to knock it over after.

Nice little park, can get a bit crowded on sunny days. But great for a 25-45 min walk around the lake. Lots of ducks, a cute little art gallery, a few cool playgrounds, lots of dog spottings 😉

The park is beautiful, well maintained and has a lot of nature. It is family and pet friendly. It has public bathrooms. It is a good place to practice many different sports including jogging and running. Also good for a picnic or to enjoy good time outside with family, pets and friends. The only thing preventing it to be 5 stars is that it does not have lights enough to enjoy it when it is dark.

Beautiful park with a 2.5 km looped walking trail around the lake. You can see Mt Baker in the distance and there are benches and picnic tables around the park where you can sit and enjoy the view. There are parking lots scattered in different parts of the park and a big playground for kids next to each lot. Very clean and close to residential neighbourhoods. This is a beautiful park to visit for families, friends, and lovers.

Beautiful place, with paved walkway all the way around the lake, there are three different kids toy areas at every entrance. Lots of benches by the water to sit on the walk around, few boardwalks that go out onto the water. Lots of canada geese, ducks and turtles. It takes roughly 15 minutes to walk around, gorgeous lake & park. Also beautiful walk in the winter when the fog, and snow are out with the lake all frozen.💯
Russell Victor T — Google review
Nice 45 minute walk around the lake. Dogs permitted on leash only. Kids parks, seating, picnic tables (some covered) garbage cans and restrooms around walkway. Beautiful large trees, lots of ducks and geese. A small wharf with seating by a small parking lot. Signs up for trails. Two trails...1 is paved and the other is parallel closer to the lakes edge covered in bark mulch. Not safe to walk in the dark but safe during the day as other walkers of all ages are walking the trail. Lake is not for swimming but you can do some fishing. Large water feature in the middle of the lake. No place to grab food or drink along the trail.
Nice place to walk (preferably not alone)

It's beautiful here. I love our lake in the middle of town. All the ducks and geese, lily pads and fish. I enjoy the walk all the way around, and thank you, Abbotsford, for finally putting in a fountain. Now let's get some colored lights for at night 🌙

Fairly nice park with pretty views. Paths are paved. Lots of parks along the loop, with playgrounds, washrooms, benches, and parking. Also a place to fish aswell as a boat ramp. Expect to see lots of ducks, birds and squirrels.
Sadly a lot of homeless hanging out and camping in the area. Was approached multiple times while walking the loop which made me a bit uncomfortable as a young woman. Maybe not the best place to walk alone.

This is a great place to hang out with friends and family on a nice sunny day. Me and my husband usually come here for an after dinner walk. We love how relaxed and serene the atmosphere here. Bicycles are allowed here, pets on a leash are allowed except by the playground area. Washrooms are available and picnic tables are all over the place as well as benches. It’s a good 30-45 minute walk if you do the full circle. I like the bridge area the most especially during sunset. Also, I have seen a few men fishing by the dock and I have asked them what fishes are usually caught and they said it’s mostly trouts here. So, if you like to fish you can try it here. A lot of geese all over the place so watch out for land mines! Lol! Parking may be a challenge during peak hours. This place is friendly to all ages, wheelchair and stroller accessible!

It's a beautiful lake. No access to swimming there. There's lots of water lilies pads. Around the lake there are different walking trails. Also in 2 sections around the lake there's a kids play area and a kids water splash park. Nice area to do a picnic as well. There are washrooms.
Lots of parking spots available.
This is more of a light walk than a hike. Easy to do with kids. There are some stairs so a stroller wouldn’t be ideal. It’s a really beautiful spot, and we swim in the summer as well. This is a place I love to go when I want a scenic drive and am not in the mood for a long walk.

Loved this spot! A very short toddler friendly hike up to the waterfall. There is a bit of an incline but very manageable for kids 2+, just hold their hands. There are some stairs along the way as well but doesn't take more than 15 mins if you're walking slowly.
You can take some great pictures at the waterfall and the bridge.
At the base, if you go right, there are a couple of sheltered tables for a picnic and then in the same area you can get right into the water flowing from the waterfall.

This place is amazing, it's a short hike with some good inclines. When you get to the platform it's well worth the walk. There is a small suspension bridge to cross to the falls for those that need to be made aware. There are picnic tables in a covered area here as well at the lower area.

Beautiful little hike. Very well kept trails and bathrooms. Always clean. Nice chill hike up to the suspension bridge. A little stair climb til you reach a look out point for the falls. The suspension bridge is solid. Great grip for your shoes, you won't slip. Can get really busy on the weekends, especially after 10am. The falls are beautiful. This time of year, it's not raging but still amazing. Enjoy the spendor of nature.

A short, easy climb (only about 200 meters or so from the parking lot) to a stunning waterfall. If you cross the suspension bridge, watch your step getting on and off if it is wet. The metal piece joining the bridge and the platform is slick! We watched a couple people nearly fall.
The picnic area is worth checking out as well. Bring a lunch and a towel and dip your feet into the crisp, clean mountain water!

One of the best waterfalls in Fraser Valley. It’s an easy 10 mins walk from the parking lot. The hike is pretty easy and when you go up, you are welcomed by an amazing suspension bridge and the evergreen Cascade Falls.
It gets pretty busy during the weekend. People tends to go near the bottom of the falls and relax for a while. There is a small picnic area where you will find enough space to have your meal and chitchat with your friends and family. The washroom facility is not great though and it can be improved.

Clayburn Village Store is a charming attraction in Abbotsford, situated at the base of Sumas Mountain. Established in 1905, it was the first company town in British Columbia and offered various amenities to its employees. The village boasts several museums and cultural sites nearby. Visitors often stop by for a break during road trips and are delighted by the store's offerings. The shop provides an array of delicious treats, including homemade sausage rolls and nostalgic candies.
If you want candy or other great unique finds, this is the place to go! They have so many rare old candies and unique treats from back when we were kids. So much to look at being a heritage building, will definitely be back for ice cream when the weather gets warm.

Boy do I miss the "Tea Shop" portion but, it remains an absolute treasure! You'd be hard pressed to find a more magical candy shop. Plus, you can still buy their freshly frozen soups, awesome scones and sausage rolls and they have a great import selection as well. All 4 of my grown children have the best memories here.

Stopped here as a leg stretch before our road trip and this place did not disappoint. Family road trip, all of us adults, and we spent almost an hour perusing the delicious treats, reminiscing about candies from day of yore. My brother devoured one of their homemade sausage rolls (which he said was so good) and we picked up a bag full of sweet goodies to keep us entertained for the next week. Everyone in the store was really nice, helpful – and the place was well organized, fully stocked and neat as a pin. Great way to start our family vacation!

What a beautiful place! Well groomed trails, a small parking lot (maybe 5 cars fit) but there is also more parking if you go up Little Mountain Park road before you reach the secondary parking lot closer to sea level. The trails were well marked, there were benches and little informational signs throughout, we will definitely be returning! Would not be ideal for strollers or wheelchairs.

A refreshing and beautiful walk in the forest to renew the soul!!! Lots of Douglas fir 🌲 and cedar trees. Take your pace and if you don’t have time to hike all the way to the top, you can also drive to the top for an amazing view! 😉

Always a fun place to go to at anytime. Lots of trails, view spots, hiking, scenery, wildlife, and much more. I live close by and it’s always a blast driving 7 miles up the mountain.

Lots of trails. Most are easy. The harder ones are not easy to follow so you need a trail map app. No running water bathrooms.

Little Mountain is very easy to access with a parking lot close to the entrance with restrooms and easy access to different hiking and mountain bike trails. We love the trails, generally very easy but a few up hill challenging trails. We love to bring our dog and he does well on a leash, especially when running into other pups. You can drive up to the top and which has another parking lot and bathrooms and do more hiking and see some beautiful views.

Lovely set of trails! Saw a few regular hikers who were very friendly and full of information. Beautiful greenery, sweet bird music, and some pretty butterflies to round out the trip. Will be back!

Little Mountain is a great area to hike, bike, picnic, or just relax. Multiple port-o-potties are available across the mountain and two vault toilets are available in the lower parking lot. Check out the awesome bike trails and skills park!

This is my fave, relatively close to home place to hike. It's gorgeous, there are a bunch of trails of varying difficulty and it's usually not super busy, although I do usually go during the week. I highly recommend it. Make sure you drive all the way to the viewpoint at the top!
Rebecca Davis (Buggy) — Google review
Definitely a beautiful trail to go to. There is clear signage to get to the trail head. One entrance is to Little Mountain Park, where you can still continue through to the trail. If you go another half mile you will reach the little mountain park trailhead also called surfers way. Make sure to wear something warm because it could be raining too as it did for me. A discovery pass is required and you should be able to pay for one at the trail head. Otherwise, in mount Vernon you should be able to acquire a discovery pass.

The Boeing Future of Flight museum is dedicated to the history and future of aviation. Visitors can explore exhibits covering the history of aviation as well as tours of the commercial jet assembly plant. The museum also has a few fun things to do and see, making it a great place for all ages to learn and explore. The shop is excellent, and the staff is knowledgeable and helpful. However, the factory tour is currently closed due to Covid-19.
Was very excited to hear that tours were back! Took a friend visiting from California on the 10:30 tour. Christopher was our great storyteller guide. I've done the tour in the past many years ago on weekends, so it was interesting to see it during the weekday. You can't bring any phones or cameras on the tour. They have free lockers to stow your purses, backpacks, phones, or food. I bought my ticket ahead online the day before we visited.

Small but entertaining for a quicker outing. A few fun things to do and see, great place to learn and explore for all ages. Great shop and really excellent, knowledgeable and helpful staff. The robot exhibit was really fun and flying bird simulator was great. I loved flying a drone.

Despite the factory tour being closed, the backstage pass film is a good way to find out more about the history and operations at this site. It's no substitute for a real tour though! There was a Q&A session at the end which was a good opportunity to ask questions, although some of the answers given weren't very informative.
The museum and viewing deck are good, so this is a good way to spend a few hours just half an hour outside Seattle.
Rohan Muralee — Google review
Went on a Monday afternoon and spent about an hour and half there. Thought it would have a lot more things to look at but there were no factory tours available and some of the exhibits were still under renovation. Staff at the drone pilot and AI stations were very friendly and pleasant. Those interactive stations were pretty cool. The price was cheap ($6).
Worth a visit if you are in the area and you have a couple hours but definitely not a destination like the Museum of Flight. The gift shop was my favourite part of my visit.

My expectation is to have Boeing factory tour which inspired me long time ago to see how to assemble the big plane. Unfortunately it’s closed due to Covid-19. Spent one hour in future of flight which is so interesting.

I was impressed with the variety, quality and engagement of their exhibits. My 9 and 11-year old girls had a blast. Mini robots that do tricks following lines drawn on paper, a drone flying cage, fly a flock of birds onscreen with body motions, eliminate space junk with a computer game, look at mini drones the size of a fly, make up to 6 ping pong balls float mid-air on tiny streams of air, design your own plane by picking features then flying it in a cockpit to see how well it flies (simple enough for 5-year old to enjoy). We probably missed 5 or more exhibits because we ran out of time! Very inexpensive for the hours of enjoyment. Highly recommended!
SeattleDan R — Google review
This is a good place for young and old, not a whole lot to see, we were there about an hour. But it was interesting. Drones (in a cage) and simple motorized cubes that you can draw a path for them to follow, great for kids. We enjoyed the visit, I know there are bigger museums but for a quick “something to do” that’s not too expensive… it was perfect. Just know to keep your expectations low on the quantity of airplanes. There were several coming soon exhibit so it’s looking to expand.

I love this place!
Good news after pandemic they re open tour! It is 45 minutes and you can observe how they make parts of aircraft.
The exhibition is not that big, I wish they make more interactive knowledge share.
Overall, I had a good experience.

Wow! Beautiful modern clean gallery Museum. I also go lunch to be the first group of for the new factory tour! Peter was a fantastic tour guide and had all the information memorized to educate 27 of us in a theater presentation, then bus tour into the factory where these amazing Boeing planes are assembled!
Awesome gift shop to! And sky deck where you can see the planes landing as well.
John Otto K — Google review
Interesting tour but doesn’t get you on the ground floor and up close to the operations to better experience the equipment, parts, processes and aircraft. All observations are from the transport bus or observation decks high above the workplace. Glad I saw it but somewhat disappointed in the distant viewing. Entrance fee a bit pricey for the overall experience. Tour guide and other staff were great!
Bill — Google review
I was surprised at how informative and interesting this tour was (in that the factory tours are currently closed).
The building has many exhibits including hands-on (mostly for youth). There is a drone area that you can practice flying.
You also have access to a roof top, which provides excellent views of Paine Field and has a radio broadcasting the tower traffic.
The best part for us was the one hour presentation, which was hosted by staff . You could ask questions and interact about the history and the assembly process. It's not like the actual factory tour, but it's still very informative.

Great for kids and adults alike! If you love planes, you will love this experience. I went during the pandemic, so missed the factory tour. Can't wait to go back!

It was a good tour; could have been better. Although I understand that there are data privacy concerns and that’s why everything is viewable from a distance. I was hoping for more walk around experience rather than just sitting in a bus or watching from a balcony. Still a great place to take your children and let them enjoy the sheer size of the facility.

Was lucky enough to get tickets for this tour that I’d wanted to do for ages!
If you’re a AV geek this place is a must & even if you’re not it’s still very interesting.
Our guide was great & very informative & the whole tour is very well put together & the whole scale of this place is massive.
Book in advance as you can’t just rock up & the whole tour takes about 1 hour 30 minutes I’d say & then you get to walk around the awesome merchandise shop & exhibits & if you purchase the access the viewing gallery too, we got lucky as there was a Dreamlifter there & we saw it departing too
Spencer Moss — Google review
I had a tour and it was very impressive. I booked it online 2 weeks before my visit. The tour is around 90 minutes. I entered the hangar area and visited the assembly line where I saw many planes in production, including two Air Force KC-31s being refueled. Our tour guide was very helpful and friendly. Backpacks, cameras, phones, food, and drinks were not permitted during the tour, but there were free lockers at the entrance. There were no restrooms during the tour, so it's important to hydrate and use the restroom beforehand. The is a sky deck and gallery next to the lobby, you can take pictures of the planes from distance on the deck.
Sheldon J Plankton — Google review
The place is nice overall, the exhibition is nice and that's it, there aren't too many things on display.
The observation deck is impressive providing a breathtaking view of the airport and the mountain ranges surrounding the area.
The tour is fine and nothing more, we were disappointed by the tour and expected much more.
The tour is Including a view of the factory from two high points (observation balconies inside the factory overlooking the 2 parts of the factory) but there is no walking in the factory and there is no watching at what happens in the assembly process up close.
It does not provide the feeling one expects from a tour of the Boeing assembly factory.
I would like to point out that it is forbidden to take pictures during the tour.

Drove 12 hours just for the Boeing tour and it was totally worth it! We had a great time. Even just plane spotting across from the factory was enthralling. We saw an Antonov our first morning there along with all the amazing Boeing planes. I would also love to see a more in depth tour option. The store is fantastic! Lots of selection and the prices were great.
Amy M — Google review
So you can’t take your phone on the tour so the pictures are just of the sky deck that you get access to with a tour ticket. The tour its self is okay, it’s more of a just a bus ride around the Boeing facility with a stop in the production facility. Once on there assembly line you get an elevator onto an observation deck and can look over the 777F assembly line. The tour is not particularly detailed but if you are interested in seeing jets it is a must.

Great insight into the workings of a plane assembly plant! Worth it! Although the price doesn’t justify the length of your and our inability to carry phones for selfies at least! From the viewing terrace you can take some good pictures!
The Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum, located in a restored hangar, features an impressive collection of military aircraft and weapons from the years 1935 to 1945. The museum boasts top-notch facilities and showcases vintage aeroplanes in excellent condition. Its staff are highly knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the exhibits on display. It is undoubtedly one of the world's premier collections of significant military equipment, providing a vital legacy for future generations to appreciate.
My favorite aviation museum in the whole world! I met a docent named Arthur Unruh there, who was the most friendly and inspiring man I have ever met! It's just so powerful to see these WW2 planes up and close and personal! Not to mention also getting to see them fly in the air for free! This place is like a second home to me 😌

If you have the chance to visit this museum, I highly recommend it. took my family to the fly days and other events (Wine night and Tanktober-fest). I live down the road from this place and took it for granted, then the pandemic hit and closed it for 3 years. Then with new ownership, I thought this impressive collection was lost to the area. But it remains for the time being. Visit and appreciate the awesome collection. Hopefully they continue to do demonstrations whether it's the tanks or planes.

As a huge Battlefield and World War II fan, I couldn't believe I could get up close and personal with all my favorite WWII vehicles somewhere on Earth. I only planned a 2-hour visit to this museum, but I was so wrong. You could easily spend a whole day here. What's even more amazing is that all the vehicles here are actually operational.
You guys are doing a fantastic job!

This place is absolutely awesome the facilities are five-star and the quality of the vintage aeroplanes is the best I have ever seen in the whole world. They have pretty much every single significant military aircraft and weapon on display in pristine condition. The staff are incredibly helpful and very knowledgeable not to mention enthusiastic about the place. What a legacy to leave behind for the general public.

I went to the grand reopening of this amazing museum. You get to wander 3 hangars of pure wonder and history. I had an amazing day returning after 3 long years away, they have three opportunities to watch demonstrations of their tanks. I highly recommend going here to support them!

Great museum with some planes that are the last of their kind. Most of the planes and tanks are fully operational. I was told that in the past, and hopefully in the future, some of these planes and tanks are flown/driven in demonstrations on holidays, including firing the tanks (with blanks). There is an interactive educational section as well. The docents were friendly and helpful with a decent amount of knowledge.
Stephen Leer — Google review
Definitely a must visit place if you are looking for historical artifacts around WWII. Beautifully preserved and restored armored tanks and airplanes from the Wars. The best part though are the volunteers who work as guides here. All of them have some family involvement with the heritage and their level of knowledge is impressive.
Couple this trip with the Boeing - Flight of Future (right around the corner) and you have a fantastic field day lined up for family and friends.

This is the most wonderful place to be for a history nerd, everyone is so nice and willing to answer your questions about pretty much anything. To top it all off the fact that everything works is just amazing. I love going to see the P-47 and watch her flying. Thank you to this wonderful place for creating so many memories and keeping me facinated :D

What an amazing day. I was expecting a couple of hangers with a few restored war birds. Boy, was I wrong! They actually have more ground vehicles than aircraft now (mostly tanks), but this takes nothing from the aviation and historical information. The theater, and interactive history of war (touch screens, audio-visual presentations, etc) is amazingly well done, and the pictorial timelines meticulously laid out on the walls are visually stimulating and educational. I was surprised at some of the artifacts that were on display, but you should just see for yourself!
The highlights of my visit were the stories behind some of the aircraft and the associated people, as shared by Rick. His passion for the history of both the aircraft and the museum made for a very special day. I got to learn a lot about the back stories of the aircraft, as well as the people associated with them. I will definitely be making the trip back to be there for an upcoming flight day! Thanks again to Rick for the outstanding tour!!

The best collection of WW II warbirds that I've seen since Planes of Fame in Chino. Meticulously restored, airworthy historical planes. The ground combat vehicles were nice to see, but I came to see the planes. Only gripe is having to endure inappropriately loud visitors that pushed me aside & talked about things unrelated to the museum.
Steven R. Colson — Google review
Wow what a great way to spend a few hours. It's a great mix of planes--a mind-blowing number of which still fly--and vehicles. The displays are well-described on plaques and banners. And there are several roving volunteers to answer questions. We had great conversations with David who knew his stuff and was the friendliest guy we met all week. Highly recommended. Be sure to look through the fence at the new green Boeings and the military ramp.

Amazing museum. The planes are well preserved and the majority in flight condition. There is one Junkers Stuka in restoration being exhibited. In the entrance, you can see an amazing B-25. In front of it, there is an English de Havilland Mosquito bomber. All aircraft are well preserved. The nice thing about this museum is that the voluntary guides are crazy about airplanes (like me). It totally worth spending the day visiting and talking with the guides.

Awesome place to visit to teach the family about military equipment. Great learning experience for anyone interested in mechanics and aviation. WWII is the main inventory. They do have some stuff predating WWII and other vehicles from Vietnam. Very good variety of armor and planes. They even have a working me262! It's worth the price of admission. The staff are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The gift shop has a lot of variety. They will hopefully start doing live demonstrations soon.
Contemporary casino lodging with 125 rooms, several dining/bar options & live entertainment.
My husband and I have watched this casino grow from the time it is open to present day it’s one of the best casinos to go to in Washington. It’s are go to place for a birthday anniversary and just a quick vacation the hotel is wonderful. We stayed at the hotel for about the 6-7 time and last night was just as great as the 1 st stay. From front desk staff to room readiness and very clean and I NO CLEAN (retired executive housekeeping management) so we will be back! And dinner was good and had more fun at the slots didn’t win there but a quiet room and a very comfortable bed and pillows made up for it. Thank you for the best time in the middle of the week.

Nice casino. Went to a birthday party at the everything sports game room. It was fun especially for the kids. When the kids left we hit the machines. Nice variety, all denominations. Friendly and courteous staff. Bar was understaffed in my opinion. But all in all, we enjoyed ourselves and will definitely go back.

We just spent two free nights because of an offer we received. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The staff there is very helpful and friendly.

We will definitely return whenever we can.

The registration desk persons are always very welcoming and friendly. Rooms are clean and linens are very nice and bed is comfortable.

I do like this casino, very much. Although the first few times there, I found it very easy to get lost, I like the parking, easy to find your vehicle even when you can't find your friends. The high roller room is really the hit, don't be scared, you can't win big if you don't bet big! They've got really cheap food, and it's actually good n' tasty, always some awesome monthly special. I will definitely keep going back because even when I don't win, I never leave feeling like a loser.

There is a cool gas station that you get $1 off a gallon with players card, unfortunately didn't notice that until I was leaving. But most importantly the casino did not smell like cigarette smoke, no one was smoking. I'll definitely be back! Thank you for an awesome stay Angel of the Winds :).

Wonderful place to venture to up north after dropping my nephew off at Western. We were given free hotel stay as a casino rewards member which really made the trip nice even though we didn't utilize the full night. The casino is large and clean and non-smoking. The hotel room was really nice, they don't offer continental breakfast unfortunately. Overall I would recommend this casino even as a destination I am impressed with the facility and the treatment of the casino guests compared to other casinos in our state this one I would say is a gem.

We were there to attend a near by wedding so location was perfect. Although there isn’t a pool on site, the bowling alley was exceptional entertainment for our two young grandkids. Food was very good and breakfast was perfect every day. Gotta love consistency these days! Front desk was super friendly. Coffee bar and GIANT pastries were a nice bonus. Oh and the show heads in the bathrooms have to be the best in any hotel we’ve seen in awhile.
If you are in the area we highly recommend this hotel.

I've been going to the angel of the wind since they opened their doors. I'm very much contemplating never going back ever since they've changed their reward system. So many people complain of the service, including myself. The food has gone incredibly downhill. I can never get someone to help me when most of their machines need to be maintained. And to top it off, I can't have fun there anymore. From the horrible payouts that they have since they reopened after the pandemic To the many people i've talked to saying they are gaffing machines. What a shame I used to love this place.

We visited The Angel of the Winds Casino for our 12th wedding anniversary on January 12.
We were blown away by the entire staff by their kindness and awesome attitudes. We had never been over night for our anniversary, kids, jobs home life always coming first.
This awesome group of people not only made our night incredibly special, and surprising but OH SO MUCH FUN!
The amazing restaurant called Whiskey Prime inside the casino, was GLORIOUS, and our wait staff made sure to help us celebrate with some yummy desserts.
The ladies at the customer service desk were a hoot, and the waitresses (my lucky charms) made our game playing a continuous laugh!
We were blown away with the professionalism, fun and great people!
Thank you thank you thank you to each and every one of your employees at the hotel and casino. We will definitely plan on coming back to see you all again soon!

We had never been before. It was a pleasant surprise! The room we booked was super clean, updated and pleasing to stay in. We stay in lots of hotels including some famously nice ones both in the states and overseas and this one compared to some that were three times the cost! I am not a big gambler but we had a blast at the slots and the bowling alley! Food was delicious also. We got breakfast and was so surprised at the amount of food we got for the cost. We spent less than 50.00 for the two of us to eat and it was a full plate of food. It was great. We plan to go back!

Some of your staff is very friendly and helpful. The young man who helped me get the club card was knowledgeable and kind.
However, back at the keno area the 3 employees in this area were very unhelpful. They did not want to help in any way. When I finally said I did not understand and asked for them to show me, they did it grudgingly. I will probably not visit that area again.
Also, your club card is not easy to use. I should t have to struggle using it especially the first time. This will keep me from coming back as well.
The Asian Fusion restaurant was very good. Very good food and our waitress was very friendly.

Best casino experience ever. The staff were very friendly and I had a great time there. The slot games are current and I even saw a few that were new to me. In addition to the great games they also have a ton of reward members perks. The day I went there, the friend who brought me there was comped a stay on one of their hotel rooms. That is just one of the incredibly cool ways Angel of the Winds says thank y out to its loyal customer base. I intend to return again on the not so distant future and I cannot wait.

This casino is conveniently located for me personally— I can drive here in five minutes to pick up food. The restaurants inside are very reasonably priced. The parking lot is large and you can always find a space. You may need to park a ways from the entrance, but there are sidewalks all over and the walk isn’t bad. There are speakers playing music in parking lot— sometimes it’s decent; sometimes it’s not. Anyway, there are mostly slot machines inside and there are people using them at all hours of the day and night.

We were blown away at the genuine happiness and care that your front desk exhibited from the minute we stepped into the hotel. Janine truly went above and beyond! Just after checking in and barely getting settled in our room, we had a family emergency, and had to drive all the way back to a hospital Tacoma for a family emergency. She helped us with our tragic event swiftly with the utmost care and understanding. We will be taking a special weekend trip back to your hotel this winter just to enjoy your hospitality and patronize a wonderful establishment. Thank you all again!

Firstly the location is surrounded by an incredibly beautiful landscape of forested hills and yet close to the highway. You get to the casino and the building is beautiful and well designed in a comfortable yet almost classy way but still maintains that welcoming feeling to all people. I loved the size of the place and the staff is absolutely awesome and welcoming. They absolutely are the face of the Company and they do an excellent job of making you smile and feel like you are an old friend. Overall I love the place and the staff

I am blown away by the above and beyond service I received from Angel of the Winds. I go regularly to casinos but had not yet gone to Angel. I went and was playing slots. While I was there I went from one machine to another and somewhere between, lost an $80 ticket. I asked security and they looked into it for me. They looked at the cameras and saw a woman follow me, pick up the ticket(I dropped it) , then leave out one exit, take a cab around to a different entrance, go back in and cash in the ticket. They were apologetic but I realized that if someone else cashed it, that was it. It's gone. But guess what? Later that evening I received a phone call from Angel of the Winds. They told me they had my money!! The woman obviously came back and either they knew her or facial recognition got her! It took a lot of effort on their part to get that for me and call me, etc. I really appreciate that level of service. I will be back! Thanks Angel of the Winds!

First time visit. Service desk personnel were friendly and helpful getting us registered and off and playing. Casino is well lit and machines well placed. Tried the Asian restaurant food and service were excellent. Overall everything was fine. The only problem experienced was finding the casino off the freeway and then where to park. Did not know there was a parking garage and ended up parking by the hotel.

We were very pleased with our stay! Reservations, Front Desk Staff, and the Room were exceptional! The casino is equally exceptional with so many machines and choices - including many older fun games that other casinos have replaced with the less silly fun - higher cost Chinese machines. Lots of great food choices and the gaming staff and food service staff are as kind, fun, and attentive as the desk staff. Everything is clean, maintained, and guest oriented - very rare these days! Angel of the Winds is the getaway we have been looking for! We will be regulars!

Angel of the Winds Casino was a great experience not just for the adults but for the kids as well. There's a bowling alley where kids of all ages can play and have some fun. We had my son's birthday there and everyone had such an amazing time. The service was great. We had one issue but it was resolved quickly which was much appreciated since we were on a time limit. The bowling alley had food but there's also other places to eat as well. We ate at the Mexican restaurant after bowling, the food was delicious and the waiters were on top of everything. I recommend Angel of the Winds Casino to anyone that enjoys gambling, great food, helpful people, some quality time with the family or all the above!

I’ve only visited the resort three times but I’ve had a blast every time. The gaming areas are very clean and have an elegant feel to them. The atmosphere is very welcoming although it can get crowded and loud that’s expected in a casino/resort. The staff at the players club are so friendly and welcoming they are also extremely polite and I feel like that is rare in the service industry. My spouse absolutely loves the complementary non alcoholic drinks available to the public. I would definitely give this place a chance if you’re looking for something to do on date night.

We (5 ladies)went bowling with Senior Strikers and had a blast adventuring through the casino and learning the ropes. Haven’t laughed so much in ages. I was impressed with the live band playing for the dancing patrons next to the bowling. Plus the friendly service and advice from the staff was lovely. Food wasn’t as good as expected, but most of us walked out with added winnings from gambling. Loved the fresh air, that’s why we came. Coming back with more people from our condos.

Clean, nice layout, good machine variety, and having bowling as a non-gambling entertainment option is great. Though we did not stay at the hotel, I can at least say the lobby is nice and comfortable. Ate at Katie's Kitchen, and it was very good for the price (the reuben deal was hard to pass up and worth every penny). That being said, the winning factor here is easily the location. Geographically speaking, I think this is the best casino I personally have been to.

My first time ever stepping foot in the Angel of the Winds casino resort and i was treated so well. I was given a free nights stay for winning a jackpot on a slot machine and with the one gesture they came to hold value in my eyes as i’ve won tens of thousands from other local casinos and been given nothing, not even an escort to my vehicle upon leaving with my winnings. The casino was smoke free clean and attended by caring and thoughtful employees. the resort was spotless and rooms very large clean and with luxurious comforts that normally come at a price four times that of which they ask. i recommend stopping by should you find yourself in the area. grab a players card if you choose to play it’s worth the benefits. or if you’re just looking to stay at a five star resort for the price of a truck stop motel you wouldn’t be disappointed regardless of how you choose to spend your time there.

I've stayed here before and it's always clean and immaculate. Beautiful bathrooms and shower too! For some reason though, we were in a room that had very little sound protection and we heard *every* sound they made including a nasty cough someone had. I think the adjoining door had something to do with that. I really didn't enjoy the room for this reason but also didn't want a room switch request so late at night, but had that not happened (it didn't before) I would have a whole different story.
Casino, food and staff are amazing.

We spent the night for the first time because our granddaughter was participating in a bowling tournament. We were very impressed by the joy in all the employees who work there. It is not easy at times to find people who enjoy being at work which tells a lot about the establishment they are working for. The rooms were so clean! the tv was amazing. The beds were comfortable. The food places had great food at great prices. Drinks are free any time. The bowling alley was amazing. the food there was also great with great prices. The casino didn't feel crowded and it is all smoke free which is awesome. We will definitely be back soon.
Located in Tulalip, Washington, just six minutes north of Marysville, the Seattle Premium Outlets is a popular shopping destination in the Seattle metropolitan area. The outlet center offers a wide range of stores with discounted prices on well-known brands. Visitors can also find Gateway Shopping Center nearby, which features major retailers and easy access from the I-5 highway.
I absolutely LOVE outlet malls, as nearly everything has discounted prices. This one has a decent selection of name-brand stores, and a few premium ones in a figure-eight style loop.
There’s a food court and a Starbucks in the middle, and pretzel, and kettle corn stands scattered throughout.

A lot of people from BC to shop here and bring back to Canada to save on taxes and have more options. The is the strength of the US.
Many shops and pretty much what you need is here. Weekday afternoon, many shops is close for lunch for 30-60 minutes. Be aware of this so you don’t feel bad when the door is locked.

This is a great place to shop, especially during the holidays. It's best for clothing and shoes. It's also a great place for kids, plenty of food locations and spots to play. There is a parking lot and garage. Although it can be crowded on weekends, it always seems to have parking. Fun place to visit!
William Case — Google review
Great deals! Awesome shopping experience!
Edit- those who want to go via public transportation need to catch a bus from Bellevue transit center bay-4.
I recommend checking google for more details before planning. the bus takes around 2-3 hours depending on traffic. with a car, it's 35 - 45 minutes. However, I would suggest taking a cab.

Fun and inexpensive mall, has tons of discounted stores! And great brands as well . Parking lot is humongous but still gets very very packed and parking can be hard to find, especially on the weekends. Very clean atmosphere, tons of bathrooms, drinking fountains and water bottle refill stations. They also have some fun quarter machine rides for kiddos, as well as you can rent stroller car things. I wish they had more food options though, there's about 4-5 in the food court to choose from like Subway. I recommend getting off the 116th exit because the other exit gets extremely backed up. Beautiful holiday decorations.

This store owner said he is smart as a business owner and doesn’t care about the needs of clients. He refused to exchange any quarters back while our purchasing, and refused to help us toss the receipt as he will run his business at the ‘smartest’ way for his best interest.
We bought something over $8.XX and paid $10, and we barely asked for few quarters back. Then we got this attitude :)
Not a pleasant experience of visiting this place.

The outlet is large and has many brands.
Even though there are plenty of parking spaces, they are full on weekends. I spent 0.5 hours walking around and finally found a parking spot! In this case, I would suggest parking your car on the 2nd floor of the parking building, which is near the Levis store.

It’s an excellent place to buy your needs with a discount between 15-20%. You have to check their offers as they may provide extra discounts at different days of the year. But we can’t compare it with Portland outlet as no tax there. Parking is spacious but you need to come early to ensure a slot. Foods , they have food court and other small shops and food is okay.

Seattle Premium Outlets is my favorite place to shop in Tulalip. As a well known member of Tulalip Casino. I have come here on many occasions with my family and Daughters to shop here. This is one of the best places for that in the State of Washington. I have bought at stores like Nike, True Religion & Zumiez. Every store in Seattle Premium Outlets is worth Visiting. I highly recommend this place for all Families. Thank you for the Memories and and Bless the Tulalip Reservation!

06/24/23: the Outlet was great, with a variety of mediums and large branches. I believe the price is always 15-30% discount for clothes, shoes and other items. The parking is ample and the space is enormous. I love coming here to checkout on discount items and enjoy the outlet’s vibe. Also, the food court was good as well

Best to get there early (9-10am). Parking is easily accessible then. If you wait you'll miss out on finding something easy. Good to get your steps in. Seems to be a destination point for those who are coming from out of country. You'll see tour busses bring them in. Some deals to be had there.

Journeys East, located within the Tulalip Resort and Casino in Marysville, is a vibrant restaurant offering a diverse menu of Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese cuisine. Guests can indulge in an array of delicacies from different Asian cultures while enjoying a selection of cocktails and wines. The exceptional service provided by the friendly staff adds to the overall dining experience.
First stay at Tulalip Casino. We had ordered sushi here as well, but the service and food with drinks was phenomenal. The chicken karaage on the appetizers menu section was to die for (ask for extra lemon to drizzle, truly makes a difference). We, husband and I, had just sat at the bar outside the main restaurant but still had an amazing experience. If you are at the casino hit this place up!
Andrea Ingrum — Google review
Been here many times but first time writing a review of this restaurant. Probably everyone knows this is a very popular place. The food is absolutely great. Would recommend the combo fried rice and Bo Luc lac… Sushi is also great too. There is no complaint except for the long line wait and a limited amount of staff working

What happened Journeys East?
Used to be my favorite Asian restaurant in the North end, with contemporary dessert options.
Steamed halibut. Should be renamed to "Microwave" fish. Seriously the halibut stuck to the plate, and it looked and tasted microwave, and just added the yet simple sauce but mediocre. Not worth $30 for this dish!
Green curry with chicken. Curry broth and chicken is spot on, but I didn't realize there would be so many cucumbers and less chicken.
Spicy wontons. Just wontons and chili oil. Probably the only redeeming dish.
Service was okay. Waitress was nice but lack a bit of attention, as we had to flag her down for additional orders.
Overall, if you're out trying to make your luck and crave Asian meal, stick to the lower cost typical items, you should be fine.
It used to have taste/quality of a good restaurant now more of cafeteria quality.
BK Yowsers — Google review
I have been dining at this restaurant since it opened. Before COVID I dined here at least once a week. Several of the servers are familiar with my order and have always provided excellent service. However, after negative experiences on my last two visits I don’t plan on coming back.
On my previous visit the expeditor, Loralei, was in a rush. She kept trying to bring dishes to our table that we did not order. When she finally did bring the dish we were waiting for she slammed it down on the table. Hard enough that I was afraid the momentum would take it off of the table.
We spoke to the manager, Shannon, she apologized and said she would speak to Loralei. She did admit to setting dishes down roughly. We were assured she would receive more training and that she was a good worker that was simply trying too hard to be quick. As our previous experiences had always been positive we felt the matter was resolved.
This evening was about a month after the first incident. I came in with my husband and a friend. We placed our food and drink order with the server and everything seemed fine.
Loralei was the expediter again. At Journey’s the food comes out as it is made. Consequently, someone always ends up waiting for their food. We are used to this system.
Loralei brought my dish. I said it was mine and she set it front of my friend. She corrected herself, but slammed the bowl of pho down. At that point I thought she may have had an issue with me because I had made a complaint about her. I tried to not think anything of it, but then a few other incidents made me think it was intentional.
My friend also ordered pho. I saw a bowl of soup in the window. I did not assume it was ours until I observed Loralei run other dishes that came out afterward. Our server then saw the soup in the window and brought it over. At this time we still had not received our appetizer and my husband was still waiting for fried rice. I let the server know there was an issue and he said he would look into it.
I observed three orders of fried rice go out before my husband received his. I know one of those tables was sat after ours. At this point I asked to speak to a manager.
Before we spoke to the manager Loralei brought my husband’s rice out. She said “Here is a serving spoon if you want to share”. As she said this she brazenly rolled her eyes.
When, Shannon, the manager came to the table (With an unknown man at her side. Did she find me threatening?) I explained that we had a negative experience with Loralei the last time we had dinner. As I was explaining this Loralei delivered our appetizer. I glanced in her direction and probably had an unpleasant expression on my face. Shannon said “Direct that towards me not her”. I can appreciate a manager that stands up for their staff, but not when a staff member is blatantly rude. I explained to Shannon that I cannot control my expressions when someone is being openly disrespectful. She said” Well, two wrongs don’t make a right”.
After that I felt the conversation was going nowhere. I asked for the Food and Beverage managers contact information and both their names.
Shannon said she was the manager of the restaurant. I again requested her managers information. She wrote the information on a card. According to LinkedIn she gave me the assistant managers name.
I lost my appetite and asked Shannon to take my plate and remove it from the bill. Which she did. It took sometime to pay our bill. She pulled our server aside and they both looked in our direction. I assume she felt the need to warn the server about us. We had no issues with our server, Ryan, he did a good job and did his best to help resolve an awkward situation. I will be reaching out to the Food and Beverage manager. I don’t plan on going back unless they hire a better expediter and a manager that can manage.

Best Mongolian beef in Snohomish county. Portions are hit or miss. Fried rice is amazing. Beef pho is okay and works in your need a pho phix. Definitely a wait on nights and weekends. Wish they opened up at 11am instead of noon. Located inside the casino. Great service. Limited menu since Covid.

This restaurant is good. If you’re looking for sushi, they are not serving it right now. I was dissatisfied with the karaage but only because I have high expectations.
The staff was friendly though so it made up for the food. I recommend the honey walnut shrimp or the chicken chow Mein.

This restaurant is inside the casino.
The food was good, the portion is quite big. Service was good too, our server comes to us very often. It’s fusion restaurant, not that authentic Chinese/ Asian restaurant.
Most of our food taste good, only the fry odon was a bit under seasoned( or not like what I expected. ) It’s a bit dry to me.

Dining here tonight was good. Our waitress was on top of things. Food was very fast and fresh. I will be back. Wonton was okay. Rolls were delicious. Udon noodles were great. Honey walnut shrimp was fantastic. Can't wait to try some new dishes next time. Thought the portion on the shrimp could have been bigger as there were only 10 for $18 but by the time I was done I was full and happy.
The Kubota Garden is a magnificent 20-acre Japanese-style garden that originated in 1927. Its creator, Fujitaro Kubota, was a self-taught expert in landscaping who skillfully combined traditional Japanese techniques with native plants from the Pacific Northwest. Situated in South Seattle's Rainier Beach neighborhood, this stunning park features hills, valleys, streams, waterfalls, ponds, and rocky formations.
Beautiful gardens with many paths. We went in April and the flowers were blooming. We even got to see a turtle sunning itself! The park was moderately busy with people of all ages enjoying the sights. I really liked the arrangements of rocks around the various waterways. A few spots were a little crowded with people taking pictures, but that's not too uncommon in places like this. I recommend it for a family walk, a romantic stroll, or a peaceful visit alone.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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 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.

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).

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.

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.

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!

Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery is a picturesque estate that produces wine and offers tours, tastings, summer concerts, and food pairings. Visitors can enjoy a quick tasting or relax in the sunken garden. Limited edition varieties are available exclusively at the winery, along with widely available options at great prices. Excellent customer service includes allowing customers to taste before buying. Reservations are recommended for all those in the area who want to experience this wonderful winery.
This is one of the nicest wineries site in WA state. They have some good wines but quite mainstream so usually i prefer wine tasting in smaller wineries around. However, they offer outside concerts in summer which are really enjoyable and fun to attend with family or friends. You can bring your picnic, buy wine at the winery and enjoy the concert that way.

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.

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!

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!

🍽 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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!!

Wine Tasting Series, Part 4
Wineries…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.

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 peacocks that were there and giving us a tasting.

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

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!

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 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!

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.
Sophia Dang — Google review
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: Free
Season to visit: all time; there are holiday lights during winter and plenty of greenery and colors in spring and summer

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.
Danielle — Google review
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.
Aneka Zarger — Google review
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 👌

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!

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!
Elaborate memorial dedicated to guitarist Jimi Hendrix in the Greenwood Memorial Park cemetery.

This was the first respects I paid to an iconic, influential and genuine artist Jimi Hendrix. The overwhelming feeling of peace and love and a little something magical about the air. I thought these photos from my 2011 west coast trip had long ago disappeared but stumbled across them a few weeks ago and figured a small belated review and sharing were in order. ✌ Fly on little wing...

We saw this memorial circa 1999 when we first moved to the area. Visited again in 2021... even better. Recommend a visit. I saw Jimi Hendrix in concert in 1968 and was hooked as a fan. Purple flowers that line the walkway .... a very nice touch. Will post more pics soon.
A must see.

It doesn't matter where you stand, it's a powerful feeling from down the walkway, or standing within next to the guitar surrounded by his words.

In 2017, I was burning up the road heading out of country. I'd been from Oklahoma to Florida. Then Florida to Texas, and on to Arizona after that. From Arizona it was on to California, and so on up to Washington. Many times during that ride, Jimi had come up on my iPod. When I stopped in Oregon, and was looking over Seattle for sites to see, I saw that his memorial was in the area. I rode out of Vancouver, OR at 3 or 4 am, and all I played on the way up were his albums. I got to his Memorial a little after the sun rose and spent a some time there paying respects. He was gone too soon, but his voice and words will live on long after I'm gone. Rest in peace.
William Mc — Google review
My work takes me near the Greenwood Memorial Park cemetery a couple of times a week, right around the break of dawn. The sky in the east turns slightly pink, sprinklers turn on, and the mist makes the memorial appear hovering off the ground. I light up one, and play one of Jimi's songs. It is a nice way to spend one's break.
Mt. Baker Ski Area is an extensive winter sports destination that boasts a diverse selection of trails suitable for skiers and snowboarders of all levels. The resort offers various services such as rentals, lessons, and restaurants to cater to visitors' needs. For beginners seeking instruction, the ski area provides excellent facilities, including a beginner chair lift and bunny slopes ideal for practicing new skills at a comfortable pace.
Went to Mt Baker in March 2022, my first visit to the states since the pandemic. Compared to Canadian mountains it was pretty quiet, despite being a beautiful bluebird day.
To be honest, I’m not much of a skier - this was my only day of the season, but what a day it was. Beautiful terrain, rugged mountains, good facilities (pictured lodge is very well done), decent food, live music on weekends in the day.
My only complaints -
1. Gear rentals close either 30 minutes or an hour before last lift. That’s really annoying and dissuaded me from renting a helmet as I wanted to maximize time on slopes.
2. I’m a bit acrophobic, but fine with secure heights. I was really surprised to see quite a few lifts without safety bars. I don’t always put the bar down, but given the height on some of those chairs it made me pretty uncomfortable.

This has been one of the best ski experiences I have had in the state of WA. The slopes were reasonably rated (green, blue, black), the slopes were groomed and all the staff was friendly and helpful. Treated myself to a private lesson which was well worth the money and came out feel like a much better skier.
Also the food was pretty reasonable and extremely tasty!

I did my beginner's lesson there. The instructor was great and the bunny slope was good. They don't have the magic carpet, which is a bummer. But a great place to learn. The beginner chair lift is great, the slope is perfect for the beginner to test their skills and improve.

Great place to visit. Lot of absolute scenic views. Kids love sledding here. Only thing missing here in summer is some food joints or any activities. Only things you can do here are view the beautiful scenery or sledding (self arranged). Heard its great for hiking and skiing (in winters), but I don’t do those so cannot comment on those.

Came here early October for some Fall scenery and gorgeous Mt. Shuksan views-The Ski area, Picture Lake and Heather Meadows are wildly beautiful this time of year! Lots of trails for hiking and a very cool drive up to Artist's point for the best views of the area. It's a wonderful weekend day trip! There is nearby lodging on the by way up here and some campgrounds in the area (check ahead for closures) for longer trips. You will need to get a pass, or pay for day usage/pass at the Glacier rest area/ranger station machine near the map boards.

The vibe here makes it my happy place. It's got more soul than anywhere I've skied in the PNW. The Heather Meadows Lodge reminds me of midweek days at Whistler's Glacier Lodge in the 90s if it was run by hippies from Nelson/Whitewater. Wholesome veggie foods and fresh-baked buns, craft everything, lodge cats (!) lounging wherever, some dude playing... rando music (?) on a steel drum, tons of fresh snow and sun sparkles blowing by. Baker makes me feel it's completely possible to quit work, drop out, live in my car in the parking lot, magically ski everyday and feel like the luckiest person on earth.

Steep and deep, we got lucky the weekend we visited. Incredibly steep terrain, plenty of cliffs. Way more approachable when a couple feet of soft fresh snow is the landing pad.
Snoqualmie Falls is a well-known and scenic waterfall, standing at 270 feet tall and surrounded by a 2-acre park. Visitors can enjoy the breathtaking view from an observation deck or venture down to the lower viewing platform. The site is easily accessible by car, located just 40 minutes away from Seattle, with free parking available on the other side of the road or paid parking closer to the site.
Beautiful, picturesque waterfall, next to a hotel. Certainly worth visiting. Make sure that the weather is clear before coming.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sprawling park with campsites & trails encompasses lakes, rivers, forest & a 256-ft. waterfall.
We went today on a bright and sunny day, it was crowded and parking lot was full and people parked on road sides, luckily we got it in parking lot itself. We went to both lower and middle falls with my 6 years old kid, he was able to trek all the way on his own. It's 4.2 miles trekking to and fro for middle falls. You'll get the best view in the middle falls and along with that we enjoyed the awesome weather as well. Decent rest rooms and tables to have food as well. You need Discover park to park the vehicles, pets allowed as well.
Porkaipandian Gopalakrishnan — Google review
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
Jordan Pischke — Google review
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.
David G — Google review
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.
Mario Coronado — Google review
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.
Erika Melby — Google review
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.
Saju Vallikkat — Google review
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.
Olga Wiley — Google review
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.
Christopher Roman — Google review
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.
Arjun Bardhan — Google review
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!
Azhar Malik — Google review
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.

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.

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.

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!

Beautiful hike , lots of parking 2.5 hours round trip to the upper falls . Not a hard hike. Kid and dog friendly
Upscale restaurant featuring New American dishes & fine wines, plus a patio with golf course views.
Great service, very friendly staff. The food was amazing and the cocktail was so good. I tried the jalapeño pineapple margarita and it was so so good. Never had such a good cocktail before. The ambience is perfect for a date night or any celebration. My husband and I went there for our anniversary dinner and we absolutely loved it. I would definitely want to go there in summer again.

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.

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 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)

For dinner we had Gnocchi and and flatbread and again sooooooo delicious and flavourful. Dessert doesn’t disappoint either!

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.

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.

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!

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!
Front Street Park is a small green space with shaded walkways and grassy areas. It offers winter activities such as sledding and tree lighting. Located in the charming town of Leavenworth, known for its Bavarian traditions, visitors can enjoy quaint shops offering unique gifts and an array of pubs stretched along the streets. There are plenty of options for wine and beer enthusiasts to choose from.
Wonderful town center! We watched children sled down the hill on snow sleds, a proposal under the gazebo, and musical performances while waiting for our dinner reservation all in one day.

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.

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.

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.

Icicle Brewing Company, a charming rustic brew pub located in Leavenworth, Washington, is known for its locally sourced share plates and snacks. This popular brewery offers a variety of beers on tap that change with the seasons. Visitors can enjoy weekend brewery tours to learn more about the brewing process. The ambiance both inside and outside is impressive, with fire pits and heat lamps creating a cozy atmosphere.
This is a great place to sit down on a hot day. They have umbrellas and they continuously mist the area to create a cool atmosphere.
Other than beer, they had root beer and some good snacking options. We got a pretzel, charcuterie board and a salad. Everything was great, but I especially loved their salad! It was very flavourful and refreshing.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!
Waterfront Park in Leavenworth is a peaceful riverside park that offers various recreational activities such as walking and biking trails, play areas, and picnic spots. It's an idyllic destination that features magnificent trees and leaves, which gives it a serene atmosphere. The town of Leavenworth itself is charming with its German-inspired architecture but retains originality to create nostalgia.
Great trail near the river. Flat route. About an hour walk. You should go in a good whether but its nice also on a cloudy day (I was both and both and the difference is noticeable). Highly recommended when you are coming to Leavenworth.

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.

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.

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!

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!)

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.

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.
Laid-back brewpub doling out house craft beers in a rustic yet contemporary setting.
Amazing brewery... I first had their beer back in 2009 and been a regular customer since.
I keep coming back because of the amazing, craft beer style brews and the top notch customer service. All three servers: Nevada, Ashley, Claire will go above and beyond to make sure you get what you want and treat you like family/long time friend. I don't think you can go wrong or find a better brewery in the area.
OHHHH and it gets better! They now serve in addition to beer, hard cider and wine!!! So everyone in the group can be happy and find something to match his/her taste.
Check em' out...

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.

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.

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.
Sprawling winter sports area in a 2,000-acre basin with 4 chair lifts & 36 designated runs.
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!

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.

Okay, I’ve been going to mission all season, and I’ve loved it, but the icing on the cake has to be the women’s intermediate and advanced group lessons. I’ve really felt myself strengthen as a skier under the tutelage of Laurie, Sam, Heather, and Anya.
Today, I did what was essentially an individual lesson with Laurie, and it was such an amazing experience. She is so kind, so encouraging, and so passionate about the sport. It really helped me to grow my confidence on off-piste terrain. And she knows the mountain so well, it’s really nice to get to explore things I never would have gotten to see on my own. I really cannot thank her enough. If you get a chance to learn from her, just know you really are learning from the best.

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!

The local ski resort of choice. Gorgeous views, great options for food and beverages, fun activities, super friendly and fun staff.

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 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!
A mile of natural stone paths amid hillside gardens, pools & woods. Open seasonally.
Such a beautiful place to view and walk/hike.
Wonderful background on how this came to be!
Definitely will come back in the future and recommend to all family and friends!
The rock benches are the absolute best!! Jaw dropping experience. (:

The amount of work it took to create this little paradise is just astounding. From hauling rocks there, to hauling water to take care of it all. Definitely was a labor of love. It's a beautiful, shady trail that weaves up and down the hill, with nice views of the wenatchee area below. Lots of pretty flowers.

A unique garden built on a hillside. A great place to come on your own for a quiet time of reflection or to read a book tucked into a peaceful area. Bring your friends and family and enjoy roaming the beautiful hillsides. Look for gnomes or sit next to one of the many ponds or roam the hillsides and enjoying the flowers and nature.

Amazing gardens, totally worth the trip. Cool alpine style gardens on top of a sagebrush covered hill. Many things to see throughout the gardens, traveling through the forest you find hidden pools and waterfalls. Amazing spectacular views of the surrounding area and the Columbia river. The flagstone paths are a bit uneven, so grab a walking stick from behind the gift shop if you have any difficulties with balance or walking. Decent shoes for walking too, I wore flip flops and it was not a good idea.

This is a hidden gem. We ended up spending 4 hours relaxing on the various benches and exploring the paths. The views are fabulous. Don't miss the Hobbit Bench! There are several pools with beautiful reflections. Bruce in the office was very knowledgeable and helpful. They even have walking sticks to borrow!

Ohme Gardens Park is a small oasis with lots to see! I was expecting more signage and educational information, and it would have been nice to have water fountains throughout the park for guest use. (Side note - it was 105°+ on the day we were there in mid-July, which made the experience a little difficult to enjoy).
If the weather was better, we could've spent more time exploring the park. The park is mostly made up of stone pathways that lead you through various ponds and views. There are stone benches throughout the park where you can stop and enjoy the view. We saw some birds, a lizard, and lots of goldfish.

My experience of this garden was colored by our previous (last week) visit to Buchart Gardens near Victoria, BC. While Ohme is very nice, it can't come up to the beautiful garden in Victoria. The paths are very uneven, which adds to the beauty of the gardens. This is not a place that is very accessible to those in wheelchairs.

UNBELIEVABLE! I fell in love with this gem. High up in the hills, this green garden oasis is filled with charm, resting places and peaceful energy. Stone paths wind up and down through the acreage leading to ponds, waterfalls, nooks and benches carved in stone and lush landscaping. Lots of photo opps and you’ll want to capture the views of the valley and mountains. I visited in May; temperatures were ideal and pleasant. Paths very manageable with children who are comfortable with stairs (no wheels).

Love this market and it's stalls. It's a must have visit. However, the COVID has taken a toll here as well. Many ships were shut down.

Visited on a Friday afternoon. Relaxed energy, multiple restaurants offering everything from coffee to pizza. Additional shops selling honey, meats, produce, wine, handmade items and more. Great spot for any meal of the day plus galato. This feels like a smaller version of the Granville Island Market in Vancouver BC. So similar and delightfully familiar. Walk outside and cross the quiet street to the Riverfront Park to enjoy beautiful scenery along the river.

Reminiscent of Pike's Place in Seattle or Granville Island in Vancouver, BC, this indoor public market, built in what looks like an old train station (and considering its location, seems likely), is packed with restaurants, specialty grocers, cafes, wineries and boutiques: a little something for everyone. Whether you're looking for a fine wine, a cheese to pair with it, some sliced meats to construct a charcuterie board, fresh honey, olives and olive oil, or just a bite to eat and a cocktail, Pybus Public Market has something for you.
Being from out of town, the Pybus Public Market was one of the first places of interest I spotted in Wenatchee on Yelp, and I knew it was the sort of place that would interest my wife and I. This place is the sort of community hub that takes the best of what a city or town has to offer, and presents it attractively in one neat, concise package, appealing to locals and tourists alike. My only strike against it would be wishing that it was larger, and even more comprehensive!

Loved the selection of restaurants, wine and beer places, and other shops in this open warehouse. Lots of choices with an open community feel. Sit inside or out depending on weather or wind. Rode our bikes from the Confluence State Park along the fabulous bike trail, about 2 miles mostly level, paved, and no car interactions. Wenatchee has done something very special with the waterfront parks and paved trail along the river connecting downtown businesses with two state parks.

Bit of a let down. Was (perhaps unfairly) comparing it to Seattle's Pike Place Market (the clue is in the sign) where they toss fish and have artists and street performers alongside an expanse of clothing and jewelry and home decoration vendors. The Pybus Public Market is more like a food court at a large shopping mall. They do have some vendors but overall it was an underwhelming experience. To be totally fair the assortment of food choices was nice.

Small building with a couple of vendors selling soaps, artwork, accessories, bread and jarred pickles. Mostly restaurants. I didn't try the food so I dont know if it's good because we had lunch already but the building is located right next to a riverfront park. Could be a casual lunch spot with a view or walk. I was expecting more local produce, gifts, and baked goods from a "market". I came on a Sunday.

This place is definitely worth walking around. Cute shops and really nice people. Our 3-star rating is based on the fact that we have eaten at 3 different restaurants there and have found them all to be mediocre. Check it out but recommend walking a couple of blocks up the road to eat.
The Yakima Valley Museum is an exceptional museum that offers both education and entertainment. Its exhibits cover the history of the area from a geographical and historical perspective, with special emphasis on Yakama Native American heritage and agriculture. The museum boasts several prized collections including horse-drawn conveyances, early motor vehicles, and a working model of a Depression-era soda fountain. Additionally, visitors can enjoy exploring the unique kids' section that resembles a small town for children to play in.
There is so much more than you think! We had a good time going through the museum. I went in with a 3, 5, and 7 year old. They had a blast! There are interactive exhibits, screens with informational educational videos, and there is also a children’s play area! It is cost friendly and was definitely well worth the trip. There was rich history of Yakima!

OK seriously impressed. Well laid out, varied, and interesting all around. A highlight was the working beehive. Kids loved the interactive exhibits and especially the olden town play area in the basement. And friendly helpful staff to boot. Thanks soo much, it was a great escape for the family on a hot summer day!

Super pleasant museum! Packed with surprisingly rich and well presented history. With free admission for active duty and retired military Memorial day to labor day. Highly recommend.

This is a great local museum! A good size and well layed out. Plenty of interactive exhibits for people of all ages. Come early and enjoy the park as well. Very family friendly! A kid play area downstairs looks like a blast. The center atrium opens the place up nicely. The soda shop was closed when I was there but it looks fun as well! We will definitely be coming back soon!

My kids had a blast here! The front desk receptionist was incredibly friendly and lovely! ❤️ The kids part is really unique it's like a little town for kids. We loved the gift shop also! We will be returning here!

We stopped in on a road trip to stretch our legs. Teens had as much fun as we did learning about the Yakima area, and there's an ice cream and coffee place next door.

It is very cool especially see the mammoth teeth. Admission fee is also reasonable.

A big chunk of history available for your eyes to see. There is plenty of parking space available outside, including handicap accessibility. The ticket for adults is $8, available as soon as you enter the museum. They do have restrooms right near the entrance in the front lobby. A nice place for the history buffs. I do not live in Yakima but drove about two hours to get here, definitely worth it.

Don't miss this very enjoyable museum focused on the Yakima Valley. Many interactive exhibits with fascinating information on the geologic history of the valley and region as well as indigenous people, many examples of transportation vehicles, curiosities and attire. Learn more about famous people from Yakima and the kids can enjoy a fun play area in the "Underground". Top it off with some ice cream when the classic parlor is open.

$8 to get in and definitely worth it. Spent about 2 hours here, but easily could have spent 5-6 hours if we would have had more time. So much to see and learn about Yakima and the culture, that made it into what we see today. Had a great time and looking forward to visiting again in the future.

Very amusing trip. Shows a lot of hidden history behind the city of Yakima, staff was quick and friendly, and there was plenty of things to interact with. Displays were throughout the whole museum, and it had two stories to look at, elevator included. Five dollar entry fee (I am a student).

This is an excellent museum with a wide variety of exhibits. You can easily take 2 hours to go through the museum to see everything.
My brother and I took the tour here. It was interesting and quite informative. It was quickly obvious that they were giving the tour in order to put wind farms in a positive light. The two young ladies that were working there did a very good job. One of the reasons that the tour was effective in promoting wind farms is because they clearly are a great way to make renewable energy. Seeing them up close only reinforced the positive. I highly recommend taking this tour.

This place was awesome, we happened to be in the area and decided to take the long was home from a concert at the gorge. This was for sure worth the drive, it does seem kind of like a road to no where but very pretty and scenic. We are middle aged and really enjoyed the information and history in the center they have! You get to get up close to the wind turbines and it really puts them into perspective of how big they really are. If your lucky you might even get to watch them climb them. Truly a phenomenal experience and I highly reccomend visiting at least once. The weather was awesome, there were plenty of parking spots, and it was not crowded. We went in the middle of june! It was perfect.

A very good place to see what is a wind farm like and they even have a blade lying on the ground that you can see at very a close distance. A good place to spend a weekend with a little bit of learning and a little bit of hiking. Despite of the strong wind, it may be hot in a sunny summer afternoon. Please add or remove some clothes before the guided tour begins.

Went on a field trip with students from my sons school. They gave us lots of information on the how it works, the what it's good for and who this electricity is helping. I know I learned a lot from going and it was definitely a fun trip.
Basic gaming floor with slots, poker & table games, also offering a buffet, deli & espresso bar.
A very enjoyable dry casino. Went here for my mother’s birthday, and the blackjack dealer was very friendly and helpful to her, which meant a lot. Same with the roulette dealer the day before. The games are pretty entertaining, with the large majority being slots, but there are some tables to choose from in the middle. The casino smells very clean, and if you are a smoker there is a designated smoking area outside on a balcony. Free sodas of course, and there are a couple food stands and a pretty good buffet to eat at.
Tyler Sampson — Google review
Well I have to agree that you don't have a good time and it's just a good idea to remember that people who are coming in to gamble or to play the slots are not really good for the money you spend.
I hope this helps you find your best plan to making sure that you're guests will not become discouraged by your way of doing business.
You should have a smoking section and a non-smoking
section designated for your guests.
And I believe if you had waitresses to bring water or coffee or sodas so it doesn't interfere with the guests from having to leave a good card table, or having to wait until they lose money on the slot machines.
I will drive to Oregon for a while (overnight). Just to be treated like a winner.
The cost for a room is nothing if your having a good time and you have accommodation.
Drinks, non-smoking and smoking.
And of course you can play cards or slot games without any hassle of getting up to leave for whatever reason.

I had not been in since before the remodel and addition of the hotel. Very nice job on that. It was really dark in there which made it a little creepy. The slot machines were very fun. Our favorite was this one with a little devil on it. My husband and I decided to do the seafood buffet. The prime rib was raw. However one employee noticed it and grilled some up but put it right on the contaminated cutting board right next to the raw prime rib. But the rest of the food we had was good. We probably won’t do the buffet again but will try something different there. Security was doing a great job. Couldn’t find where to go get a soda otherwise we may have stayed longer. Overall we had fun.

2nd time coming here, first time was great! This time was a little bit different. The room looks clean but it was very dusty all over. Even the sheets and pillows...never seen a bed with only 3 pillows. Glad it's only one night. So it's okay to stay overnight especially if you're going cherry picking and fruit shopping. It's close to everything.
adonis romotap — Google review
It's much improved. Once so much smoke it was nearly intolerable, and I'm not a smokers snob, but it was bad. It was nice in that respect now, but the slots were super tight, and it is still a dry casino in case you'd like a beer or a beverage. The concert was entertaining, good seats and affordable so no complaints there (we went to see Collective Soul). Also and oddly, they do not "open" the casino until 8 a.m. Not knowing my wife and I went down about 7:15 to play some before we departed and we were intercepted by the security guard who was polite. We're thinking "you all don't want MORE of our money"? LOL We went back to our room and packed up and played on our way out around 830 and as luck would have it recovered about 70% of our slaying from the prior night. haha

No Alcohol, can’t get a drink here. Pool was by reservation only and booked for the weekend! No one in there for the 2 hours I was downstairs. had I know than I wouldn’t have stayed (ruined my kids trip) to top it off I get masks but don’t tell me to pull it up while I am drinking my overly priced coffee. Also would not give extra towels…. Checked out early and won’t be back.

First the rooms.....not bad but beds were a bit too hard for my back. Fridge worked well. Water pressure was good although showerhead was not removable. Now the casino.....when the ATM line is long and the ticket redemption line is non existent....you have a problem. This place is extra tight and if you are playing to win think again because it's not happening here.

Machines were tight. Dropped a lot of $$$ with no pushes, bonuses and no features. Was a disappointment for sure. Maybe my luck was off. Seemed like a nice place at the casino. The town near by was kinda sketchy but where isn't these days. I hope the next visit here will be a bit more rewarding.

The worse experience!!
- told my daughter we checked out 2 days ago
- she was under the influence of alcohol and needed a bathroom and used it where the housekeeper was cleaning up.
- supervisor refused to solve any issues and still claimed we checked out. Meanwhile my mother was standing in front of him and refused to hear her.
- supervisor Steve/Steven did not acknowledge what we had to say and he was always right.
-he barred my daughter and claimed she had a fake name - her father was in the hotel list with the same last name. He failed to check it out. He called the police and had her arrested - still claimed we checked out!!! Failed to check our names. Thank goodness my brother told me she was going to be arrested.
- he was rude mannered and felt as if we owed him an apology
- my daughter left her phone and wallet in her uncles car. She claimed she had to sleep outside.
She walked to the gas station hoping to run into a family member. Because Steve/Steven would not take the time to acknowledge she needed to get a hold of one of us at the hotel.
-she was upset - became argumentative and I do not blame her whatsoever.
-Our room was overlooked twice and I had to let front desk know and they claimed they will get someone in to clean it.
- on the second day of no one cleaned the room. I asked to moved into a clean room. I did let them know my husband could not walk far and the room was further down.
- the bell person stated they should have placed us closer. At least she understood.
- the General manager was not in on Monday morning to deal with this issues.
- Spoke with someone else. He listened but we will see how they handled this matter.
- Our family was here for a memorial for my brother and sister!!! This situation added more stress of the lack of cleansing or felt as we had to be watched at all times.
-some of the staff were not friendly - and messed up the names for the guest in the rooms.
- I am upset how my family has been treated with the worsted hotel experience. I would have expected this from non-Native people(First Nations). But when it is Native American run business I would have expected better.
This was one of the worst experiences my family went through. It did not matter how many times I called in to clean the room or order towels. We were ignored. It was bad enough to go to housekeeping to get clean towels. I even offered to vacuum the carpets.
As for the supervisor Steve/Steven. I heard there was many complaints against him. He was rude and ignorant employee that will cost the hotel business.
For a Native American hotel - I felt I was not treated equal and I am a Native American Indian.
Will this matter get solved?! The ball is in their court.
Q: if this was your experienced what I went through - would you be upset? This is for the General Manager and the owner of the hotel.
Signed by - unhappy customer/stressful
If I could give a “0” rating - that is my rating.

The casino is great, a couple drawbacks are, there are no lounges or any place to get an alcoholic beverage here. I’m pretty sure alcohol is prohibited on the property. :( The coffee shop is awesome though! Great service there and great drinks! The breakfast buffet was also really good. I wish there was more for kids to do instead of just swimming. If they had a movie theater, bowling, or an arcade, that would bring fun for the whole family!! The hotel rooms are really nice except for the bed and pillows. The bed was stiff and not comfortable for us at all. The pillows weren’t very good either, we all woke up really sore. After checking in, we went to our room and there was a “do not disturb” card on the door, and our key wouldn’t open it. They accidentally sent us to an occupied room. We went back downstairs and they quickly fixed it. Overall it was a good trip.

Had a great time at Legends casino. The suite we had was awesome, clean and very roomy. Was there with my 2 daughters and having 2 bathrooms and 3 sinks was such a treat. No crowding around the mirror at all. Non smoking casino was also wonderful.

I advised management players being suspicious of team play and possible dealers in poker room aren't playing straight. They need a shuffle machine. Many hands and plays observed over the weekend raised RED FLAGS. Several traveling players are now suspicious of these activities and will put the word out. Beware of thieves at this location.
General attitude of employees working here seem very moody and rude.
General food and restaurant quality in comparison to most casinos of this size , rate it a 2.0
This casino needs to upgrade its food quality and train there people to be more friendly and customer service oriented.
Only 2 dealers at the tables (non poker ) were super friendly
And 1 security lady was very nice.
Everyone else needs to be brought up to new standards.
At this time I can't recommend this location. Save your money and play where you're business is appreciated and the management takes your concerns seriously.

Beautiful view, no microwave in room, and for the price you pay for the room there should be coffee cream and sugar so you don't have to leave room first thing in the morning to get it, we were given 2 coffee pods ,2 tiny power creamer and 2 tiny sugar, not even enough to make 1 cup of coffee and there were 4 people in the room! Couldn't warm baby bottle either due to no microwave. Also do not ingest the tap water, I had to run a sink full of hot water to warm baby bottle and the sink was full of black stuff that came out of the tap! GROSS!! I did like the location and view though!! Rooms were pretty clean.

I live in Las Vegas, so it's not fair to compare. But the casino floor was not very inviting, and it was hard to maneuver around the machines. My wife had fun on one of the machines, but she normally plays video poker, and there isn't any, on the floor. Even the best Casinos in Vegas have kept them around because so many guests love them.
But the restrooms were clean and the machines were clean, but we were early in the day. But no cleaning folks around wiping machines off. Vegas is never without a team cleaning machines off with disinfectant. But it's in a small reservation, so it's probably good enough for the locals there to get their gambling bug fixed.

I had a pretty good time... I enjoy playing the slots as long as I am winning or at the very least stretching out my funds to play longer... An awesome quality of the Legends Casino is a "non smoking" policy on the premise... Makes having fun add up to staying longer... There is a variety of cool and progressive slot machines... It's awesome to take a break once in awhile and let my hair down... Had a great time made a little cash and went home smiling and relaxed.

The room was very nice and clean. However the service was mid tier. The front desk lady was not very kind. When I first checked in she was asking me to pay which I was confused about because I thought I had paid online I was only asking clarifying questions- I wasn’t being rude. She was being very rude and unhelpful. I called the front desk to ask for extra blankets because me and the person I was staying with were freezing and I had already turned up the heat. I was told housekeeping had left and they weren’t able to help me. I really thought this was ridiculous. I know how hotels run and they could have walked their happy butt to a housekeeping closet and grabbed a few blankets for us! I spent a good 1,000$ here at this casino this trip. Disappointed as far as that goes. The seafood boil in the food court here is good though, so is the buffet. Other than being freezing at night and a rude receptionist my first night, my stay has been pleasant.

The show we attended was great and rooms were great. However HUGE disclaimer. This is not only the only non-alcoholic casino I've ever been to, they don't even want it on the property and will take it from you.
I get it, if you don't want to sell it, but to literally steal the fruits of one's labor and do it in the most authoritarian way is a huge red flag.

I like the layout and the atmosphere. I like the selection of games and number of machines. I don't like that half of the machines (the older push button kind, that I happen to prefer) don't work properly. The buttons don't respond when you push them and it's difficult to select a bet. And the other half of the machines (the new digital play panel) have such a high minimum bet that after factoring in the distance out of my way I have to travel to get there, it's almost not worth the time and frustration if I only plan on stopping for a few minutes and playing a little bit when passing through.

I love legends casino hotel not just to play the slot machines. and But I also love their food. and I usually order their bacon cheeseburger with tartar sauce. and It is really good. and I also get a coffee there. and That is also very tasty. and Also it is really good. and Most of the drinks are free like soda and coffee and water at the machines. and If you are new there you can get a legends casino card to earn points which turns into cash I often go here. and I'm always very satisfied with there service. and I also like the fact if you accidentally lose your legends casino card they will replace it for you.

On checking in we received a wonderful room very spacious and very clean. The staff was cordial. We had a good time and had a wonderful dinner at the seafood buffet. The staff was very attentive to make sure that our dirty dishes were cleared and that we had plenty to drink. The food was fabulous, even though later in the evening, the crab legs were supreme! The gaming experience was good. Upon checking out the next morning and getting an hour away I realized I had left my Kindle in the room. I called the hotel and the housekeeping staff was able to retrieve it for me. We drove back to pick it up and it was right there with no issues. We would definitely stay here again.
Scenic, expansive landscape of scalloped cliffs & groundwater-fed lakes, plus a visitor center.
Stunning Missoula flood artifact. The best view is right off the side of the highway north of the state park entrance. Absolutely recommend when in the area.

We have camped at several WA state parks over the years and Memorial Day weekend 2023 was hands-down the worst weekend camping I have ever experienced, at SunLakes Dry Falls state campground in our travel trailer. Why? Well, 90 percent of the restrooms were locked closed the whole time (on a holiday camping weekend? Nice weather? Why?! Please don't blame it on "staffing" - makes zero sense.) Also - goose droppings literally all over the grass and beach the whole weekend. Um - this is a serious danger to very young kids. Also - mosquitoes. Like, the. Worst. Mosquito. Experience. I. Have. Had.... in my life. To the point that it was a health hazard to me and do my dog. Mosquitoes are a health hazard, as is, DEET, but - what do you do? And before you say "mosquitoes and bugs are just a natural part of camping," here is my rebuttal to that - WA state should have closed this park down and refunded/notified everyone because of this until they got it under control. Period. They are well aware it is a problem because they have bat houses there to try to control them. They have the ability to spray for them and they just refused. It became apparent to me that park revenue was more important to them than the basic health of the campers and pets. Yikes! All these issues yet their camping rates are still so costly. No more Eastern WA camping for us until we verify there are no mosquito issues.

Breath taking place. Went to a lower point of it (Dry Falls Lake) and to the high point (Dry Falls Vista House) where all the beauty can be viewed from above. There are a lot of parks and resorts before getting to the destination, like Parks Lake or Sun Lake resort. There is also a golf corse in that area. Good place for family to spend time at. (Swimming, fishing, playground, hiking). Enjoyed this place with my family.

Great place to visit, endless veiw at the visitor center. The veiw is even better when you drive down to Dry Falls Lake. Note: The road to the lower lakes is paved but the cut off road for Dry Falls is ruff, rocky and fun.

Simply one of the most stunning examples of the power of natural forces. Seeing this formed in a matter of hours would have been both terrifying and awe-inspiring. The visitors center is in desperate need of a remodel/ restoration but is loaded with information for those who are curious and would like to know about geologic catastrophism. The park ranger we spoke with was VERY knowledgeable and genuinely enthusiastic about this natural wonder. Please don't hesitate to ask the rangers questions, that's why they're there! Please, please stop and experience the Dry Falls for yourself.

Lakeside aquatic park with a large pool, 3 slides, a river for tube floating & a surfing simulator.
Great way to cool down on a hot day. My kids absolutely loved the park. Admission fee was reasonably priced. Felt safe with all the life guards that are constantly on duty. Outside food is allowed but there is also a place that sells food their as well. We got a chocolate/vanilla swirl ice cream cone and some authentic tacos but there is a lot more to choose from. We loved the lazy river and splash pad area. We had a great family fun day!

Way back in the mid 90s when this opened up It was brand new and an absolute favorite to go to as a teen during the hot summers we would get in the 90s and 100s. Great memories of swimming and using the slides. Glad to see its still around and kept up nicely for future generations.

Wonderful little gem, not crazy like wild waves, or packed like slide waters. This has a limited amount of slides but if you have little kids or younger than 10, you'll be set. Small enough to keep your eyes on all the kids, but not too small.

Well maintained water park only a 20 min drive from our campground. Plenty of parking and plenty of chairs and picnic tables. Although you can bring your own food/drinks and snacks there's a hamburger/tacos and ice-cream stand. Bathrooms are clean and well stocked. There's an indoor community shower with soap but be aware before you decide to shower your kiddos the water is really hot and you have to keep pushing for more every minute. I guess is only to rinse yourself but used it in between playing in the pool to warm me up lol! Kids under 2 are free and between 2 to 5 are $8 The rest is $16. You can reentry with outside food anytime. There's a grass area where you can put a blanket or your own chairs or tent if you decid to bring them. Bring your own towels or by some at their shop which also sells sunglasses and other waters accessories.

There are 3 water slides for the big kids and adults there are 2 diving boards high and low dive, there is a kiddie area and a baby splash area that has spray jets that come out of the ground, there is the surfing area that is a big hit for sure, a lazy river it is not a big lazy river but it does the job as long as you don't get dumped on by the water buckets the is a sand playground and a lot of shade in the grass area's. The cool thing is you can bring in food and a shade tent and stay all day. They do have a food stand and a small shop to buy things you may have forgotten. We buy the season pass because it is worth it for us if we go 3 times the pass is paid for. Parking can be tricky once in awhile but not to bad. There are a lot of lifeguards and they do their job well and are pretty polite as long as you follow the rules. I JUST WISH THEY STAYED OPEN LONGER SO I COULD FO AFTER WORK ON WEEKDAYS!

We drive from spokane to join all our friends here about 30 minutes before the park was set to close my son was on diving board waiting for the other jumper to clear the water, Corbin a life guard was very disrespectful to my son and making comments about me to my son about him not having a mom or even his mom being dead because my son wouldn't jump when Corbin told him too and then proceeds to stop my 6 yr old daughter and tell her she needs to leave the park and not come back ever again. I'm pretty disappointed and will probably never return to the park. Nobody spends that kind of money to have a horrible experience, nor should a grown adult have a job being a lifeguard working around a bunch of children and saying that nasty stuff to them.

It was nice, the soda is super expensive, but you can bring your own food in which is good and something I would recommend. It was pretty packed(being the height of summer and all) but I didnt stand in line for anything longer then 5-7 minutes. I especially like the lazy river, it's very relaxing. Plenty of sunny and shady spots to hang out, and tables to set up at to eat. The lifeguards seem to really be on top of things as well, respectfully reminding the kids of the rules and such. All and all a nice little break from the summer heat!

My family and I have been going here for years. If you've never been it's really an amazing place to go to enjoy a nice hot day away from the city. You pay once to get in, and you get an all-day stamp. You can bring in a cooler with food things you want to cook right there because they have BBQ grills available, just bring your own coal. People are super friendly and literally you can spend an entire day here.
