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.

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.
Elsie D — Google review
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.
Kyle — Google review
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).

Breathtaking park. We went in the middle of October and the weather was perfect. Some of the roads were already closed, as well as some of the ranger stations. Overall a very good park.
Krystal Woda — Google review
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.

I absolutely love hiking at Mount Rainier National Park. I grew up in Washington, and seeing the mountain in the distance. It is such a majestic place. I moved to Arizona and miss seeing and exploring the mountain.
Chris Knight — Google review
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
Kelly Low — Google review
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.

This scenic, 150-acre natural monument is known for panoramic views from its 3,612-ft. butte.
Beautiful park with beautiful views. We were able to identify at least 15 different flower species on one small part of the hill. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area! Also, it’s wheelchair accessible. So it’s a lovely place to get into nature if you have limited mobility.
Lastly, there is a bathroom at the top of the hill if you need it!
Camila Matamala-Ost — Google review
The view is breathtaking from the top, but there is only a small parking area and a restroom at the top. It's kind of a scary ride as the narrow road winds it's up the side of the butte. There is very nice, small picnic area at the bottom of the butte. We were surprised to see a badger wandering down the road. It ignored us.

For the longest time I wanted to come here, but never had time when in the general area. This time I did visit and I'm glad I did. The views from the top all around are pretty amazing. Also rather interesting geologically as Steptoe Butte predates the Columbia flood basalts. Access is by a narrow paved road that, apart from some nasty potholes, was adequate.

This is a must visit if you are in Eastern Washington during late spring/early summer. The views are absolutely breathtaking. Discover pass is required, else you pay $10 entry fee. The drive to the top takes roughly about 10-12 mins. There are multiple potholes and there are areas where there is no guard railings on the sides. The drive is not tough but can be a little challenging if you are scared of heights. But the views from the top makes everything worth it.
Arjun Bardhan — Google review
Amazing yet scary drive to the top. Views are spectacular as you go up the road. End of summer and the hills are a golden brown color. Lil hazy but you can still see quite far.
Alex Rieser — Google review
You can see long distance view from top of this place, I came here with an expectation to see full lust of green fields, but not fully green but still an awesome view. It was lightning and thunder when we went to top, enjoyed the cloud covers and slight drizzle, worth coming back in a different season. Roads are very narrow to go the top, at the entrance of the park, you have few car parking and rest room
Porkaipandian Gopalakrishnan — Google review
I'm so thankful this place exists for the local wildlife and the remnant Palouse Prairie ecosystem. I was sad to not find walking trails to better observe the spring flowers. There are no guardrails on the road and it is narrow, not well maintained, and truthfully a bit scary to drive on. The view is insane from the top!
Karen Edwards — Google review
Be careful on the spiral winding road up and down as it’s a bit narrow and two-way traffic, but the views from the top are worth it. There’s plenty of parking on two levels. There’s some fun and interesting info boards at the top. 360 degree views. Even during the Smokey time when there were fires from crop burns and excessive heat and dry conditions, the views were expansive.
Jori Schellenberger — Google review
The trip up is a tiny bit precarious but not super bad. The view from the top is amazing though. There aren't many places I've seen that allow you to see such a far distance. The patches of flowers and shadows cast by the clouds are awesome to witness.
Fuzzy Pandas — Google review
Best place to catch the sun rise or the sun set! We got a clear evening so we could see for miles! The Palouse hills in the distance did not disappoint! We went during the week so not crowded at all. The sign says it’s open from dusk to Dawn. You do need the discover pass or a day pass. $10 or buy the discover pass online and it’s good for all state parks in Washington and you’ll have it on your phone. Believe the park pass is $35 for the year.
The road to get up is almost one vehicle at some spots. Two medium to small cars can easily fit going opposite ways. No railing till you get to the very top. So just drive cautiously if you’re not used to driving up a steep hill. Also there are plenty of pot holes so be aware of the road conditions so you don’t damage your vehicle or tires! Bring your lunch or dinner packed with some drinks and come enjoy the view up top with your friends or loved ones. So worth it! Also, there are some picnic tables and a restroom at the bottom/start of the road out. Be aware of deer as well. We saw a couple going up in the evening. So if you’re still reading this, think no more. It’s worth the trip to catch the amazing views from above! Enjoy!

Amazing park, everything is green and trees are blossoming;there are a few flowers such as hyacinth, magnolias. The best is Gaiser Conservatory, opened every day except Wednesday, from 9 am to 3:30pm. That is an exceptional expo of cacti , exotic plants, orchids. You can spend an hour in the conservatory easily. See a few pics. This was a real treat. We will be back.

Gorgeous park in Spokane. Wish I was able to get more pictures, but I didn't charge my phone before visiting. This park is a must-see when visiting Spokane. I went here with some friends and enjoyed a beautiful walk in the park and enjoyed all that the park had to offer. Definitely allow yourself a couple of hours to explore the park. There is a playground here for kids and restrooms as well. I believe we could have spent all day here. I hope to visit the area when the garden is in full bloom. Absolutely gorgeous.

What an unexpected slice of paradise! We missed the Japanese Gardens, it closes at 6pm, so I definitely have to get back here.
My visit was mid July. The roses appeared to be at the end of their season but wow! There were still plenty there and I could smell them before I could see them.
Thank you Spokane for a beautiful and huge park. It's so serene here. I hope the people who care for this place are adequately appreciated and thanked for what has to be a lot of maintenance work!

This is a beautiful park. I gave it 5 starts, but would have given 4 1/2 stars if available. Only because their directional signage is very not clear. The gardens are well cared for and maintained. The conservancy was amazing, it has a variety of cacti and other exotic plants, I love cacti. The rose gardens not only had great variety, but I could smell the roses walking through. The Japanese garden was so peaceful. I could go on, I highly recommend a visit to the park. Talked your time and take enjoy it.

This was my first visit to Manito Park, and I would definitely recommend it. We went through the first week of November, and most of the annuals (like the Rose Gardens) had already been cut back. Workers were clearing garden beds as we walked through. Even with some missing, the walk was still beautiful. Gorgeous trees and perennials abound! I am excited to return in Winter for their Christmas Lights & then again in the Spring. With so much hussle & bussle in downtown Spokane, this lovely gem is a break from the headaches and offers a few mintutes of peace and tranquility.

Love love love this place ! It's the only place I resort to go to on special occasions when I don't have extra money to play with . I go to this place on my birthday every year . The cactus green house is my FAVORITE. The Rose Garden is a rose growing competition, all types of new rose species by growers. Then get judged and placed accordingly. All individual growers create their own unique rose and title them and place in competition . Its interesting ! The two toned bright pink and orange and white all in one rose..are my fave. The anise is a fave as well.

Beautiful walk for all ages with lots of cool sculptures. Great showcase of the area. Little ice rink track for doing loops that was pretty unique, and a cool chalk art area under the bridges. The park is perfect for an afternoon or evening walk no matter the time of year. Lots of stuff closed, like the indoor carousel- I'm presuming because of Covid. Still a great walk none-the-less to enjoy the day and people/bird watch!

We had such an amazing time just exploring! There are multiple parks and activities; pedal cars and scooters you can rent at very reasonable prices, fun landmarks to learn the history of, and beautiful sculptures all over! We had so much fun just walking. It's also very close to downtown, so we were able to spend the day at the park and then go find several options to eat!

Riverfront park is a must see if you are visiting Spokane for any amount of time. The planners and developers have thought of everything to make this park inviting, accessible to all ages and skill levels, with so many activities to choose from. Bring your camera for 360-degree views from the moment you enter. I was there for lilac season, and that was heavenly!

Super fun park with lots to do for people of all ages! A awesome place to take pictures! You could be so creative and take so many different pictures all over that area. There is an amazing playground, awesome skate park, many walking paths with a spectacular view of the falls at many points!! Everyone was so nice and friendly! It was a great experience!

We attended the Park's 4th of July celebration. It was great! Packed but with all the things that can keep families busy, it was ideal. We went to the fossil park and splash pad, watched the symphony at the pavilion, and then sat in the grass near the clock tower to watch the fireworks. Our kids had a blast! Will be attending next year as well!

This was an accidental discovery. When I was staying at a nearby hotel, I went out for a walk at night. The river view was very beautiful and quiet. The waterfall was a bit spectacular and the waves were rough! It was a good place for a walking date!

Gorgeous park to explore Spokane and the river/falls. The oark offers so much and can't put it into words. Just go downtown Spokane and start walking along the trails of the river and bridges. This park is absolutely breathtaking.

Wow! I've driven by this park and have yet to stop by. I'm so glad we did. It's absolutely beautiful here! The river makes this such a special place. The park is maintained well and I didn't see any liter. I did not see public restrooms here, but I'm sure they exist. The walking trails are paved and even, I was even able to walk with my cane without any problems. I definitely will be back! Thank you City of Spokane for maintaining this gem of a park!

Wonderful public area for families, friends and large groups! There is a fun ice skating and roller skating rink here, a carousal, and food vendors. Occasionally they have live music and really cool farmers markets.

Great place to walk, jog, bike, and run. Gets busy. Lots of things going on all at the same time.
The trails are nice. I would recommend always having someone with you, there’s a lot of homeless people there and no security what’s so ever.
Some areas are trashy and can small like marijuana, like many places around this city.
Stay close to any young ones. Stay in crowded areas. Watch for the bikers because there are blinds spot. People are supposed to walk their skateboard and bike but you know how people respond to regulations.
Lots to do and see. Very lively. Take precautions thats what I’m telling you.
Oh and people drive fast so watch twice before crossing. Still a lot of ricer on the West Coast (I’m from the other side of the States).

River front park was a good experience it is very urban which means that it is also quite busy and parking is a nuisance. The best way to get around river front park is on the Electric scooters and/ or bikes as the park is so big and has plenty of pathways.
That being said riverfront park is indeed very urban with fencing around all of the river and falls, there isn't a lot of nature to actually enjoy which is both fortunate and unfortunate.
If you're going in for a walk this park is definitely big enough to get your steps in, but most of what you'll see is sidewalk fence and some grass.
There is I think 3 bridges that go over the water, one of them is currently under construction as is a good portion of the park.

Took a road trip from Tri-Cities and spent most of the day here, rode the Numérica SkyRide which was short but had a cool view, 1st time on the Lime Scooters which we explored on for about an hour, left to watch a football game at Buffs, then returned to see the lights at the Pavilion. Overall it’s a great hang out spot, lots of things to see & do, we really enjoyed our little get away.

Beautifully conflicting yet amazing feats of engineering on display with art exhibits to honor those who would be living here but were gentrified out.
Same story different year. We're still here! Speaking on us post humorously... #MoanaOut #ICried #StillBeautuful
Safe during the day for kids, families, etc. The park closes at 11pm! That's an hour longer than ours in The Bay!

River front Park is a great place to visit in Spokane. It's very pretty and there's a ton to do here. We visited during the day and enjoyed the fun trail and the sister cities walk.
At night we really enjoyed the carnival like area with all the lights and people having fun and amazing views of the river. I'm really glad my wife took me here it was very worth the visit.

This place is beautiful. It's usually clean. It's my favorite place to go to work or do art. There's always something to do. I love to go there at night and just sit in on the jungle gym. The carousel is also amazing. I'm glad I get to be a part of the park.

The crown jewel park in Downtown Spokane with wonderful artwork and spectacular views of Spokane Falls. Lots to do in all four seasons!
The Spokane Falls are a man-made waterfall and dam in the city center of Spokane, Washington. The Upper Falls is home to the Upper Falls Dam, which directs water into the falls intake on the south channel of the Spokane River while Lower Falls features Monroe Street Dam, which generates hydroelectricity for the city. The falls are a local landmark and one of the top attractions in Spokane.
Amazing! Right in downtown Spokane.

Beautiful falls where the river splits two sets of falls than river comes back together. Beautiful area with nice walking paths and playground nearby. All paid parking in the area.
Aaron N — Google review
Had a blast checking out the trail and surrounding businesses. It was definitely worth renting the scooters as we were able to cover much more ground and see all the different falls from all the best vantage points. We ended up spending almost a full day here and it was the highlight of our trip even though we only stopped just to check it out.

Great place for an afternoon visit
I have been to the Spokane area a few times in the past few years but I have not had the time to see the famous Spokane Falls. This time I was on a mission to finally see them. I made all of my business appointments for early morning so I had some time in the afternoon to actually spend some time at the falls. There is plenty of parking nearby on the streets and there are public parking spots nearby. There are gondolas which take you over the falls, bit since it was October they are only available at certain times during the week so I was not able to take a ride. To get to the preferred viewing locations near the falls you have to go done many steps, but the effort is worth it.
There are some very nice views of the falls and the river. You have to walk around to find good vantage points for pictures. There are also signs and information posts around the area where you learn about the falls and the local indigenous culture. This is a great place for a solo visit or a family visit and you could spend a few hours taking it all in. A spectacular spot for an afternoon visit.

Public swimming pool
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!
Dallas Easter — Google review
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.
Jack West — Google review
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.
Human Man — Google review
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.

I like this water park for younger kids under five because of the beach access. For older kids I prefer to travel to Chelan water slides. But the Moses Lake slides are still fun for older kids every once in awhile.
Jessica wilson — Google review
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!
Jamie Niederkorn — Google review
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's a great family water park. Slides for every age. Water stream tubing. Water spirts..statues for little ones. Shallow and deep end pools. Surfing water area. 4 and under free. You can bring in your own food. They sell food there as well. Hamburgs, nachos,carne asada fries and tacos. Great ice cream cones. Alot of shading.

It has a lazy River, large swimming areas, diving boards, surf stimulator, shallow pool section for young children, sand box with toys, 2 sand volleyball courts, great slides.

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.

What a wonderful place for a swim and recreational activities!! Convenient to Moses Lake, this place is fun, spacious and relaxing!!! The wade pool is remarkable!!
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.
Jasen Stanley — Google review
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.

I'll never travel to Olympic National Park without this trip planner again
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.

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. What is surprising is that in this huge produce growing area, there were no fruit, vegetable shops left. Still a good place to but honey, trinkets, eat a wood fired pizza and drink some local brew

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.
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 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.

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!

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).

Nice mom N pop garden....lots of labor of love put into it. Not much glorious color in May mostly ground cover. Got to have good solid feet to mange the very uneve n rock paths
. kind of intimidating in steep paths with no side rails...just be careful no strollers or wheel chairs advised.

I love these gardens. I have a been a few times and this visit was my favorite. Beautiful wildflowers galore. The winding steps through the hillside woodlands, ponds and Alpine setting are enchanting.
Love the history behind this treasure.
On their website you can find the history of the gardens and old photos. Really fascinating to see how the gardens have grown over the years.
Walking sticks available.

Wonderful hiking spot with many easy trails to walk around on. They cleverly placed gnomes and fairy's all around the mountainside so you could try and find them. Amazing views of all the Wenatchee land and river.
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.

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.

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.
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!
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...

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.

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 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!

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

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

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

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.

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

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.
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.

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

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

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.

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!
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.

A charming town in Leavenworth, Bavarian town is famous for its traditions. It has a great stretch of pubs, cute shops for gifts. The pubs are stretched all along with a choice of random sitting area outside / eating area while you mingle with people. Enjoyed my evening and early morning..

Very quiet town, good for evening strolls with amazing views of the mountains surrounding it and river flowing on one side. 🌈Awesome 👣👣👣

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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!
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.

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!!!

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

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

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

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

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

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. The place has an observation deck for the waterfall and a leasy trail that leads to an observation closer to the waterfall. There are picnic areas on site as well as public restrooms. Highly recommended

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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!

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.

Decided to take a day trip for new years eve and explore downtown Snohomish. Some of the shops were closed but we were able to do some shopping and grab some food. We absolutely loved the feel of the town and loved the local history of the area. Was able to get a bite to eat at the Pie dive bar, and some ice creame from Snoqualmie ice cream which both were delicious.

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

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

At Bravas Pizza you can choose to eat outside or in. Get by large slice. Fresh brew coffee if you ask. Friendly.
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.

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

Breathtaking views and a menu to match! The menu compliments the wines with its small but vast variety of perfect portions.
We had three varieties of Cabernet Sauvignon which were different in texture, color and taste.
We also had their Melbac and their white wine. We highly recommend this place.
Next time, we’re checking out the heated domes!

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

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

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!

An amazing experience! James Taylor concert was out of this world good! I think they need to figure out parking and crowd effectiveness though, seemed a bit cumbersome process but once inside love the venue. Give yourself at least 2 hours ahead of concert and go early!!!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

What a great place to come for a garden stroll in Bellevue, WA. It’s a free admission garden, NO dogs are allowed. There is a small gift shop with various unique gifts. Clean restrooms and water fountain, there is a cute little coffee house/cafe in the middle of the gardens. This is one of my absolute favorite gardens to come for a stroll, so many different areas to explore. You can easily spend 1-2 hours here, bring a picnic and a book for a relaxing warm day. Enjoy!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!
Pro tip: carpool with a friend and get in early. It’s full by 11 am.

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

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.

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!
Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park is a spacious 57-acre lakeside park situated in Renton. This delightful park offers an abundance of recreational activities and amenities for visitors to enjoy. These include multiple boat launches, a scenic walking trail, well-maintained tennis courts, and various picnic areas where families can relax and have fun. Additionally, the park boasts a swimming beach that beckons visitors to cool off on warm days.
This is a beautiful park with a lot of amenities! The boat ramps are well-maintained and flow smoothly. There are two restaurants, Ivar's, and Kidd Valley burgers and both are very good. On the south end of the park there are plenty of pavilions to have group gatherings, and a bathroom building centrally located. There are lots of different playground structures for people to play on. You can get a really nice view of the lake from most of the park, and it's great anytime of day until closing.

This park is great! Good for walks, conversations with friends and family. If you are going there for an event like Easter or a holiday just be prepared to wait for parking. There are plenty of ducks, seating by the docks near the hotel. I suggest bringing your own chair. There are some restaurants nearby and tennis courts too. All in all I give this place 5 stars!
Tim Hoon — Google review
Beautiful park with an amazing walkway that goes for over a mile along the lake. Volleyball and tennis courts. Swimming area with beach and concessions during the summer. Very large play areas for children. Boat launch and docks next to two local quick service restaurants. (Seafood/burgers) a very well maintained park.
Nathan Mikesell — Google review
The park is open to the public year-round. It attracts a huge number of visitors in the Fall. The Fall foliage is beautiful. The rains or showers make the scenery looks more dramatic. The fogging in the early dawn is the best time for visitor to capture postcard quality of fall foliage 😀

This park is a beautiful place to come to relax, sit on the grass or kick back on a blanket and look out at the lake, or simply take a walk! Very well manicured lawns and gardens. They have well maintained restrooms and a nice large covered table area to either sit to get out of the sun for a while, or, sit and eat a bite from Ivars Seafood Bar or Kidd Valley Burger.

Great place for people, not so for dogs. Signs posted no dogs allowed in mostly all walkways etc. It was my first time so I had my companion with me and saw a few other. There are nicely manicured gardens and grassed areas along the water. Truly a beautiful place. One can circle out onto the docks. Then go to Kidd Valley for burgers or Ivars for Seafood. Parking was dotted with Handicapped 🅿️ and restrooms were open by the restaurants. Nice big barbecue pits and picnic tables to eat. Also there’s a boat launch here too, (read signs for restrictions)

Wonderful park with a small beach, playground, grills, picnic tables, shelters, restrooms, and an Ivar's seafood restaurant. The parking lot was completely full at 7 pm on a beautiful Saturday night, so be aware of that. Nice place to watch the sunset!
Irene Williams — Google review
The only issue is the lack of available parking spots on a nice day. Besides that, this place has it all- swimming, boating, BBQ'ing, grass, sand, ducks, lifeguards (when summer is official!), a dock to jump off and to walk along, lots of space. We will be coming back

I came here to get some work done before driving home and found a spot to sit at a table next to the Ivars outdoor section by the marina. The sun started to set and after I finished working, I walked around checking out the rest of the park and getting some great sunset photos. I was going to plunge but there was sign saying there is bacteria in the water and not to swim. Total Bummer!

We haven’t been here for a long time and were finally able to come to the park, which has been quite beautifully transformed lately. There is a large playground area here, they built a small bird island and connected the park with restaurants. Also the beach is quite clean for children.

Beautiful docks to walk on and a little burger shack on the waterfront next to Ivar's with decent prices. Was hoping to see a sunset but there wasn't much of one today. Lots of seating around and good view points.

Amazing park and next to the water. Simply amazing. It has a play structure suitable for kids of all ages. I even saw some teens playing around and another 1 year old like my boy. It can get a little windy because it’s next to such a big lake so bring an extra something warm just in case. The park is very far away from the parking lot so it has a high car safe distance for me. The water is visible from the park but I felt is like wasn’t too close either. It has a nice apartment building opposite the lake. Can’t wait to explore it some more. It is also close to a seafood restaurant and it has a great trail.

Update 1: i recently visited it again and everything was wonderful and amazing as it usually is
I have never been to any beautiful, clean, and spacious park like this before. This gorgeous park offers fantastic sceneries, many kids' playgrounds, boat launching, and swimming areas. If you are hungry and thirsty, feel free to stop by some delicious food stores nearby with many restrooms. I highly recommend it to anyone

Imagine Children's Museum provides interactive exhibits for children aged 12 and under, along with a water-play area and rooftop playground. The facility is well-maintained with regular cleaning, and on busy weekends there is plenty of staff to manage the high volume of visitors. The museum has a maximum capacity limit to ensure safety, but there are three levels full of fun activities for young children. While prices may be steep, overall it is an excellent location for kids to explore and play.
This place is so cool! My 2 and 3 year old have a blast and never want to leave. All of the different stations are so fun and creative, allows the kids to free play and learn. Can't wait to go back when the weather gets nicer so we can check out the rooftop playground.

Our little one had so much fun.
We spent 4 hours here, and she wasn't ready to leave, but the place closed (and I was done way before that 😆)
She really enjoyed the craft, I thought it was pretty dumb, but all the kids seemed to enjoy it, and that is what matters: a Thanksgiving leftover plate: kids glue different things that resembles Thanksgiving leftover on a paper plate.
Lots and lots of fun things to do. Our two favorite was the train station and the water works. The water works was truly fantastic.
The crew was kind and helpful.
Bathrooms were clean and tidy.
We really enjoyed our visit.
Our little one was talking about it for days after.

Our time at this museum was amazing! Having a 15 month old, I wasn't sure if there were things she would be able to do. She was able to play with pretty much everything (except the water section) and the other, older, kids were super great about not running her over and including her in their play. It was even fun for us parents, but we're kids at heart ;) I highly reccomend this for a fun day trip. (If you receive SNAP benefits, admission is $3/each with no time limit!)
After playing, we just hung out in the toddler area on the 1st floor to relax, and we were all alone. It was nice.

I have a 2 year old and this month was the first time we took him any place like this (due to the pandemic) during the week it's not too busy and smells of cleaning products (which made me feel good). During the week I didn't see any staff in the play areas, but on the weekends I saw a ton of staff running around - so maybe it depends on the kid count. I do like they have a max capacity, cause it can get a bit crazy. That being said there is a TON of stuff for littles to do - 3 levels of activity and play. The prices are a bit stiff, but I felt it was worth it. All-in-all a great place for kids!

A fun filled and great childrens museum!!! It does get pretty packed and wild though which is the only downfall! Too many kids running around and super crowded. It gets overwhelming. They have tons of hands on things for the kiddos to do like water area, books, play theatre, crafts and more. Birthday parties here are super fun as well, but expensive. You can bring lunch and eat downstairs which is nice! The parking lot isn't right by the entrance so you have to walk a little bit (not far at all but still have to walk along the sidewalk to get there) the line is sometimes long and super slow. They have a cute gift shop too with some things decently priced and other things overly priced, if I remember correctly you have to walk out through the gift shop to leave which sucks because you know the kids will be begging you for something because it's like a toy store! lol

Since the remodel, this has become an outstanding children’s museum! We took 4 grandchildren, ages 7-13, and without exception they all had a blast. The oh so fun, between the trees, suspension” bridges, multiple learning experiences, water play area, rooftop playground and more, provided fun for everyone. We spent three fun hours and could have stayed longer. It was well worth the $22 ticket price! The parking lot next door is convenient and very affordable.

Greate place for a family. Diversity of topics will ingage everyone. Even edults! The water room is the best! Two hours minimum! Take a full set of spare dry clothes and boots - you'll need them after water amusements!!! surely. You'll know almost all about hidrodynamic from experience and fun. For toddlers this place is perfect - I saw. For a long time. My young skeptic, at almost 12 years, played with water until he became all wet. Recommend for every family with kids!

We absolutely love this children’s museum! It’s the best one in the Seattle area! Every time we go we spend a good 3 hours or more there! My daughter, who is 3, loves the rooftop and the water section! My only complaint is that the toddler sections are kind of lacking, especially the one on the second floor. It would be great to see a little more added to them!

Brought our two kids here for the day and it was a blast. Loved the dino dig on the roof top as well as the huge jungle gym and musical section up there. Inside we played on the airplane and bus after pretending to work as veterinarians. The art studio down stairs is also super cool and they don't have an extra fee to join in we made love bugs and my the lady running it was super sweet. Offered to get extra pipe cleaner to make a bracelet for our daughter.

So much fun and properly cleaned. I saw their sanitization schedule by chance and I’m happy that they are very responsive on cleaning the museum. My kid never came back sick, which also proves it.
The only advice is that I wish they have more lower sinks in the bathroom for young kids. Overall, it’s a great place for kids.

This place is super cute and, more importantly, an indoor place for the kids to play. This place has everything from lights, sounds, chemistry, life skills, and quiet places for the kids.
I went basically to say hello to a friend who works there and came away wanting to bring my grandbabies back for a visit.
Fantastic place and highly recommend the place.

So many fun things for littles to do. There’s a stop action movie making studio. There’s a jet to fly. Outdoor place space with music and slides and a dino dig. You can fish and make art and they have a tinker shop too. It really has tons of stuff to do. There’s even little toddler spaces here and there. So much to learn from this hands on, interactive museum!

Imagine Kids Museum in Everett exceeded my expectations! We spent a delightful hour and a half to two hours exploring the various attractions, and it was time well spent. While the ticket might seem a bit pricey at first, the quality of the experience makes it entirely worthwhile.
The Water, Wind seas and the Workshop were the highlight for us, providing an interactive and educational environment for the kids. The art exhibits were also impressive, sparking creativity and curiosity. The museum offers a perfect balance of fun and learning, making it an enriching experience for children.
Despite the initial cost consideration, my kids were so captivated that they were reluctant to leave. The memories created at Imagine Kids Museum are priceless, and we are already planning our next visit. It's a must-visit destination for families seeking both entertainment and educational value for their children.

5th birthday here, so having a whole bunch of the place to ourselves made this a special and very social experience. Was our 2nd children's museum in the same day🙃, so the security of having the place just be all known and friends reduced the child chasing overwhelm. Clean, fun activities for a lot of ages.
