One of the better parks around, some of the best trails/hikes around. Ample parking for all your friends and then some. Trail runners and walkers enjoy the multitude of trails all around. Ideal weather is a dry 20+ degree day, but even on a 7 degree late winter day was nice, especially with all the picnic tables available. Boat/kayak rentals in the summer also make it a nice day out

I have now been here twice with different friends this summer. Day pass was required to enter certain parts of the park due to peak visitor season, so it's completely understandable. The pass is free and easy to get online. The park staff checking passes are efficient and friendly (and probably tired of some people's attitudes - be kind, they're awesome people).
The first hike was on one of the more challenging ones, the Lake Viewpoint Trail, which lead to a view that was once grand but now is a bit overgrown and difficult to see the lake. Absolutely still worth the hike, let me tell you. Beautiful canopy covered trail, that snakes up and down a fairly steep mountainside. (First 5 photos are of this hike).
The second hike was a much more relaxed and long walk at the Lower Falls trail, which let to many stunning spots along the river. The wide gravel trail (watch your step for large rocks poking out!) is stroller and wagon friendly, so taking the tiny humans along is easy enough. Lots of large families going in and out. As the trail progresses it gets more narrow, but is still wide enough to drive a small car through (though seriously do not). The falls itself is quite beautiful with the potential to be mesmerizing to the senses.
(The last 10 photos are of this hike.)

This is a must see when visiting BC! The lake is breathtaking and looks like it belongs in a painting! This is our favourite morning stroll spot, we grab some Starbucks then spend the morning enjoying what Golden Ears has to offer. Really worth seeing. You will need a reservation to visit before 4 pm but spots free up and are easy to book using the online site.

Our experience of Aloutte Lake was overwhelming. The lake was so Beautiful and the whole area was serene. Just a heads up for those travelling by bus or taking a cab- there’s no bus servixe or cab service while going back unless you have hired a cab for full day. There’s no mobile network as well. Overall, a beautiful place!

We have been trying short walks with our dog. In Golden ears we have tried the Gold Creek Falls trail which is extremely accessible stroller not a problem. Our most recent was the trail around Mike Lake. On this trip it was after an entire day of steady rain. Clean clear water was flowing every where. There was one spot where the water accumulated and the paths available were limited and mostly swamped. Humans did OK. Dog required a bath. Of the 2 the Gold Creek trail was the most beautiful landscape and the Mike Lake the most like real hiking.

It was my first time camping. I went there with my friend who booked camp site . The grounds are big enough for 2 trucks although you have to pay. $12 for second one and we set up 6 tents large size with 3 canopy. Fire is still not allowed but you can use propane fire pit . The walk is very less to lake and views are splendid. Don’t leave food outside unattended . Don’t keep food inside tent at any time . They had flush toilet n clean water tap but night time it’s dark so really good to keep torch flashlight on you after sunset .

This is for the south beach and trail area. The waterfront lake here has many picnic benches that will fill up quickly during the warmer season. Come here early if you want to use one. A lot of park goers BBQ, play ball games, canoe or kayak and enjoy time with friends and family. There are plenty of parking that if the first set of parking space is unavailable, the second set will have your back. The trails in this area is quiet, legible and peaceful. In busy seasons, the washrooms can get full to the point where you have to wait in line or use the outhouses. There is a fountain right in front of the public washrooms for drinking water, not for cleaning activities.

Recently one of my top places to go camping or hiking. Most of the time is packed, and specially during weekends so you have to plan quite in advance, but once you make it you will be grateful, because it’s stunning out there!!

Huge provincial park with lots of trails, parking spaces, and camp sites. I went in mid February and although it was still a bit chilly, there were already some people out camping. The views are spectacular. Public washrooms are available as well as benches, picnic tables, and bear proof trash cans. It is a must visit place in the summer for those who love nature.

Golden Ears is one of the largest parks in BC spanning more than 150K acres and hosts a large number of hiking, cycling and horse riding trails. Each trail offers unique and beautiful sights of snow-capped mountains, lake, waterfalls, stream of snow melt water, lush green vegetation and beaches.
There are camping sites available here but you need to reserve them well in advance as they are very popular. The parking here is also quite limited and if you want to park near the entrance of trails, you need to get here early in the morning. As the day progresses, you may need to park by the roadside.
Do note that there is no phone reception here. So, plan your visit accordingly and download offline maps before heading to this park. That said, there's probably no better place near Vancouver to disconnect from everyday life and enjoy the bounty of natural beauty this park offers.

The hiking trails in this park are perfect for a good workout. The terrain is a mix of loose pebbles and packed earth and is fairly well maintained. The entire trail is well shaded and is a perfect place to escape the mid day sun.
I've done this trail 3 times now and only came across another group a couple of times, so if you dont like crowds, this is a good place to go.
I would definitely recommend this trail to others.

Lots of campgrounds and amazing experience for camping off the grid since no cellphone reception at the gold creek campgrounds. Sign for bear in area were up everywhere and so it's important to follow park rules and safely dispose garbage promptly. Loved the overall experience and the hot showers made sure we stayed clean through out our camping trip. Park doesn't have fire pits for rental so please bring your own Propane firepita during fireban.

One of my favourites campsites, again freaking hard to get spot on weekends………. The place is always quiet and clean and the campground size just bigger enough for two tents ⛺️ and a tiny one for dog. I enjoyed the water in the lake even though it’s always cold 🥶. Shower is good, it’s warm not hot which I personally prefer hot shower…….only downside is you ain’t get no signal here , which is kinda good no phones no internet, just chills and enjoy camping.

Couldn't get to north beach since the road is closed and I didn't want to walk extra, but south beach is still beautiful. Road is closed right after west canyon parking lot. You can still park at west canyon (Jan 26). Flush toilets are also closed for winter, but you can still use the pit toilets.

Located on the banks of the Fraser River, this regional park has trails that wander past river and mountain views and through deeply shaded forest. Day use areas provide picnic tables and washrooms. Historic buildings, heritage apple trees and other reminders of pioneer days make this a memorable place.

Thank you to Strong start park side so we knew this place. We went to join them for kick off to spring break, so much fun. Really nice park, nice camp ground by the river. We didn't walk around because we were busy but I saw many trails so will go back to check it out. We went to edge water bar one. So we will definitely go for camping there. Really clean camp ground, really clean washrooms and parking spots, picnic area by the river. Plus the new washrooms are in construction now

This is park which is right by the river with great infrastructure for picnics, dinners, day walks and also camping. This has a manned and guarded camping area for safety. There was plenty of benches by the river front to sit and have a meal or spend a day. Lots of shade and clean as a whistle.

My girl and I came here today and walked the "Houston Trail". It was 3.3km's long. Beautiful day for a walk not too hot and not too cold, just perfect. The scenery here is unbelievable. We passed a couple people here enjoying the walk as we were. There's a great little view point/rest area that overlooks the bog and the mountains. Just sitting there listening to the frogs, ducks, and geese was magical to say the least. It's the moments like this that matter to me. We will be back again to beat our time. Just far enough outside the city to not be packed and close enough it's only a ten minute drive. If your looking for a place to go for a walk this is your jam! Happy Trails.

19th-century fur trading post offering interpretive exhibits & activities such as gold panning.
I can't believe I've never taken the time to visit and explore Fort Langley. Full of historical buildings and exhibits outlining the history of European settlement, the Hudsons Bay company and the relevance of Fort Langley to the story. A fascinating place to visit for a few hours
Frank Hannig — Google review
Because I had my dog, we couldn't visit the fort, but that's not a problem. This village is a feast for all five senses. A great place to see vintage vehicles, and lots of antique shops. We visited the old rail station, which was a favorite of the grandkids, then crossed the bridge and wandered along the Fraser River's edge. Fort Langley is always busy on weekends, but when we visited on Labour Day, it was not bad at all. We lunched at the bistro under the pub, enjoying their peppery calamari while sitting outside at one of their beautifully appointed outdoor booths. A very pleasant day!
Dianne D'Bos — Google review
This is impressive considering that the site is under 200 years old on a compact site. The staff are all friendly and they will share their knowledge of the site and how the Hudson Bay Company did business and learned to integrate into the community.
It is a great choice to take kids as there is onbly one main entrance / exit (no wandering off) there is a playroom building dedicated for kids. The bathrooms are clean and well serviced. Parking lot access is good.
We went during a rainstorm, and it is not hard to image how the people lived in the wet, westcoast weather. Even with the rain, there were about 30 visitors on site. If you are visiting during clear and warm weather, I can imagine the site being very busy, so I would recommend buying tickets in advance.

What a nice fun place to visit for the whole family! All the staffs are knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. They even have 5 tentics for rent to stay inside the fort during summer time, so cool! Clean washrooms and big parking lot..

The thing that makes Fort Langley is the enthusiasm and erudition of the docents who bring this place alive. On our visit we met an 80 year old man who had the most phenomenal memory who held us spell-bound while he told us his story - and the story of the Fort. But the laurel wreath award goes to the chatty blacksmith who absolutely brilliant and shows you how hand eye coordination improves with practice and cannot be replicated any other way and who can turn a few cms of iron bar into a nail in seconds. We were early, so all I wanted to do was use the washroom - which is before you have to pay for admission - we would of course return after lunch - and I had a very informative exchange with the guy selling tickets. Parks Canada has done its amazing magic (see Dawson City if you don't believe me) in bringing a collection of historical buildings to life. Every schoolchild in the lower mainland gets to go to Fort Langley. If you haven't been yet you should go now.

First time here I didn't know what to expect, it was clean, beautiful, and had something interesting in every building. I loved the workers in period clothing, and so knowledgable. Even stuff for the kids to do and play with. If you're looking for something to do for 2 hours this is the place. Not to mention the great shopping area in down town to far away.

We went today to the vive les voyageurs event, also was our first time visiting the historic site, the place is big and great for activities with children, we visit all the area, at the main entrance you can take a map, also attend the music performance with michael and rosie and the spoons with maurice, it was really fun!, we learn something new today!, we trade something with the blacksmith and eat some poutine, its really amazing how locals try to keep the traditions and heritage!

This old small heritage town is a swing-by place for anyone who get bored with downtown Vancouver and wanna get away into a new environment. Many local eatery’s that are kept genuine and authentic. Fort itself is a disappointment because the forest covers everything and I can’t see inside. However, wandering around this town and capture some photos are still worth it. I have a feeling that this town is similar structured like Ladner. Overall, it is nice to be here.

Amazing place full of treasures! I recommend it to everyone (for all age) to understand our history. They do realistic representations of hiw people lived at that time. Everything is translated in French (as an official Canadian site) & free access on Canada day! Enjoy!
This is more of a light walk than a hike. Easy to do with kids. There are some stairs so a stroller wouldn’t be ideal. It’s a really beautiful spot, and we swim in the summer as well. This is a place I love to go when I want a scenic drive and am not in the mood for a long walk.

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

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

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

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

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

It's a perfect weekend getaway spot for some calmness and away from crowds. This place offers the best vibes of the waterfall, and the sound of the water heals the chaos of the mind. It's a short hike from the parking spot, and there is a suspension bridge, too.

The trails are shaded and they're not full of that pea gravel that gets in your shoes if you're wearing sandals. It's easy to get lost though and there's lots of trails to explore. There's lots of people around so that you can ask directions if you do get lost. But the real Gem of the Walk was the fresh plums that are sitting in the trees you don't want to hurt the bushes but wow are they ever good and all the apple trees that are everywhere amazing experience very happy love these trails

Campbell Valley Park is absolutely gorgeous. Lots of birds squirrels and rabbits. Some snakes crossing the paths as well. Whether you want to go for a comfortable walk, a 2 km stroll or maybe a 5 km walk or more, Campbell Valley Park is the right place for you. If it's been raining I recommend wearing proper footwear because it will get muddy in some places.

This is a very large park with many trails. Some are flat and accessible and some have quite a bit of elevation going up and down. The perimeter trail can be used to ride horses - unusual, but very cool sight at a park.
The park ambiance changes with the seasons. In the winter, there’s fog in the field, creating a very eerie look. Looking forward to coming back in the spring and summer to see the booming flowers throughout the park.
There are multiple parking lots and bathrooms. Watch for what times the gates close. In the winter it’s 5pm.

We got a 12km walk in this park! Pretty cool place to go and be immersed in the wilderness in the middle of a city. Lots of signs of Spring on the trail and the paths were not too slippery or muddy at all! Lots of different parking lots to choose from with bathrooms at a few of them. Also, a few steep hills to go up if you want to get some elevation gain into your workout for the day. I also found a water pump that was working and put out fresh clean water. Great place to wander and get lost in the scenery if you so wish!

Amazing walk in forest. Lots of trees and shade Mahe is easy and relaxing during a hot sunny day. We took the loop around the river which is about 2.3 kms and an easy walk. We did not see much of wild life or birds but that could be because we went there around 1 pm. Perhaps early morning or later in the day, you might have better luck.

Expansive park with varied features - forests, flats, steep hills, marshy river, an old speedway oval. The loop around is 11km, so you can spend quite some time in the park. Great for walking dogs or just yourself, the sounds of the surrounding busy roads seem to disappear soon. Large portions of the trails are accessible, but some small side trails add a bit of solitude, if you want. Pit toilets at some of the parking lots and an equestrian center are the only notable amenities I remember.
Clayburn Village Store is a charming attraction in Abbotsford, situated at the base of Sumas Mountain. Established in 1905, it was the first company town in British Columbia and offered various amenities to its employees. The village boasts several museums and cultural sites nearby. Visitors often stop by for a break during road trips and are delighted by the store's offerings. The shop provides an array of delicious treats, including homemade sausage rolls and nostalgic candies.
If you want candy or other great unique finds, this is the place to go! They have so many rare old candies and unique treats from back when we were kids. So much to look at being a heritage building, will definitely be back for ice cream when the weather gets warm.

Boy do I miss the "Tea Shop" portion but, it remains an absolute treasure! You'd be hard pressed to find a more magical candy shop.

Located in historic Clayburn Village, this store has been serving the community since 1912. You will find a wide selection of gourmet food and candy, from local jams and honey to imported teas and chocolates.

I love this place. Purchased a large block of cheese. Can't say it was cheap. But so good. The ladies are wonderful. And the service is great. Try the home made soup and baked goods. Take your time and look over the candy and products you used to enjoy as a kid. Overall a wonderful experience. You won't regret.

The owners are very friendly. They sell lots of different types of candy, some that I haven't seen for years. They also sell Birchwood icecream and frozen yogurt. You can get scones and coffee here as well. A great place for a treat for people of all ages. 🙂

Always a pleasure! Great old world feeling, as though you are an adventurer stopping for tea, cakes and a chat with the faerie who will send you on your journey. Not wheelchair accessible. No public washrooms. Just two things to keep in mind. But this shop is an absolute must on any trip.

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

A small shop at the back of a residential house selling body care and facial care products made with essential oils. Good quality, wonderful scent, and reasonable price. The owner Sue is very nice and showed me how she organized her work. Decor is cozy and romantic. Highly recommend. This shop only opens Saturday in Abbortsford.

Fantastic place for frozen yogurt! Your choice of frozen fruit is mixed in with the yogurt and it is so tasty and refreshing. Strawberry, blackberry, blueberry, raspberry, peach, mango, and pineapple (potentially more, but these are the ones I remember). Highly recommend the strawberry or a blend of mango/pineapple.

Quaint old time European candy shoppe! Absolutely loaded with a wonka world of wonders! They also sell baked goods; premade frozen soups and lunch items to-go.
Don't forget the illy coffee; prestigious teas and icecream while you are there. A must visit.
Park featuring a lake, a walking path, playgrounds, a spray park, a floating boardwalk & more.
Nice little park, can get a bit crowded on sunny days. But great for a 25-45 min walk around the lake. Lots of ducks, a cute little art gallery, a few cool playgrounds, lots of dog spottings 😉

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

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

Beautiful place, with paved walkway all the way around the lake, there are three different kids toy areas at every entrance. Lots of benches by the water to sit on the walk around, few boardwalks that go out onto the water. Lots of canada geese, ducks and turtles. It takes roughly 15 minutes to walk around, gorgeous lake & park. Also beautiful walk in the winter when the fog, and snow are out with the lake all frozen.💯

Nice 45 minute walk around the lake. Dogs permitted on leash only. Kids parks, seating, picnic tables (some covered) garbage cans and restrooms around walkway. Beautiful large trees, lots of ducks and geese. A small wharf with seating by a small parking lot. Signs up for trails. Two trails...1 is paved and the other is parallel closer to the lakes edge covered in bark mulch. Not safe to walk in the dark but safe during the day as other walkers of all ages are walking the trail. Lake is not for swimming but you can do some fishing. Large water feature in the middle of the lake. No place to grab food or drink along the trail.
Nice place to walk (preferably not alone)

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

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

Beautiful walk around this lake. Painted turtles, cobra chickens, ducks, herons, and dogs. It's all here. Kids and adults alike are seen fishing. There are a few playgrounds, a pool, lots of picnic tables, and there are restrooms as well. Parking can be tricky at peak times.

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

Lots of parking spots available.
Orcas Island Pottery is a charming and picturesque studio and shop located on Orcas Island. The pottery produced here is of an exceptional quality, and the establishment boasts a rich history and sense of community. Visitors to the store will be impressed not only by the beauty of the pottery but also by its affordability; despite being difficult and costly to produce, items sold at Orcas Island Pottery are reasonably priced.
Beautiful place. Definitely worth a visit. Their pottery is gorgeous, and the treehouse is a must-see. The venue is a perfect site for weddings. We bought some pottery and had it shipped home.

Beautiful pottery and has the best noodle bowls in western Washington.
We bought four bowls a few years back and recently had one break but Sydney helped us get more ordered and was helpful through the mishap when they were made incorrectly and now we have not only a replacement bowl but ordered an extra four for all our noodle party needs.
If you’re on Orcas make sure to stop by this gem of a shop!

Nice place but the pottery is dated and prohibitively expensive. Unless you’re loaded with cash to purchase their products, it’s more of a place to admire the gardens and leave. Would not recommend unless you’re in the area. Parking is limited and there are a lot of passive aggressive signs on the property. We get it, you hate tourists.

Very cool place. Lots of amazing things to look at and buy.
As art is subjective, so is pottery. They have something for everyone visually, lots of beautifully created pieces. However, they can be very expensive.
It's worth a visit. Guarantee you will be surprised by what you find and the place is very cool.

Just shockingly beautiful work, in all styles/tastes. I was especially taken with Kimberly Hardy's work. Plus, there's a treehouse! Most of the pottery seems to live outside, but there is a smaller indoor space as well and some outbuildings, checkout is at a window on the side of the house.

Amazing works of art! Even if you don't plan on buying anything, this is a must stop on the island. The store/gallery is tucked away in the woods, and it feels like you're walking into another world, getting a sneak peak of the local life. All the artwork is displayed throughout the yard and store, and there's a nice view of the ocean from the backyard. Very friendly staff and prices were reasonable considering the time and effort out into each piece.
Moran State Park is a vast nature reserve spanning over 5,000 acres of undulating forest terrain and five interconnected lakes. The park boasts scenic hiking trails, camping grounds, and an observation tower that provides panoramic views of the surrounding wilderness. Visitors can also enjoy the sights and sounds of a beautiful waterfall amidst the lush greenery of dense forests that are nourished by frequent rainwater.
Really cool area to camp, hike, bike and spend some time in the wilderness. I really enjoyed getting up to the top of Mount Constitution and biking back down. Definitely worth a visit!
Patrick Rice — Google review
Such beautiful trails for walking, running, riding. Most are heavily shaded, so well suited for summer.
We were delighted to see no trash on the 15 miles we walked. Walking among trees >100 years old puts your life issues in a bit of perspective.
Trails are well marked and of varying ability level. The various falls are close enough together to take them in on a single hike. None are tall; all have their charm.
The lakes are marvelously clear and inviting.
The view on top is panoramic. The location offers plenty of rocks and a few picnic benches for lunch or snacks.

Went to Orcas for the day with the wife and 9 yr old daughter and ended up in Moran State Park. Did the Cascade Lake Loop, absolutely gorgeous and perfect hike for the kiddo, just under 3 miles, not much elevation and beautiful views of the lake almost all the way around.
Kevin Starr — Google review
The jewel of Moran State Park is a trip up to Mount Constitution. The midpoint and the top give way to beautiful scenic views of the U.S. Cascade and Olympic Mountains, and the Canadian Cascade Mountains by looking to the NW. On clear days Mt. Baker and Mt. Rainer make an appearance. Looking down at the San Juan Islands in a stunning patchwork of green variegated by blue water that makes up the Straight of Juan de Fuca leading to Pacific Ocean. The park has hiking at every turn and Cascade Lake is a great place to lounge during all seasons. The surrounding camping area is close to the lake and offers a variety of camp sites for a fee.

Outstanding campground. Calm place with high and big trees. Enjoyable hike to waterfalls and around lake. Warm water in a lake, kids enjoyed several days of sweeming. Booking a bit tough and should be done upfront especially ferry reservation is tough and their site usually keeps failing with slow performance.

Beautiful little waterfall. So relaxing sitting in the shade and listening to the water come down the fall. The smells are terrific in the middle of dense Forrest that is constantly soaked with fresh rainwater.

This is a great park. Lots of camping spots available. Really good if you are tenting since they have water, washrooms and coin showers.
Most of the spots are near the lake, which is very a swimmable. Park is overall pretty quiet so nice if you want to get away.
The park rangers routinely drive through so I’d say it’s pretty safe as well. They will enforce the rules but are overall pretty nice about it if you’re nice with them.
Each campsite has a bench and a fire pit. You’re not allowed to burn branches from the forest, but you can purchase wood for an easy fire.

Excellent lake area on Orcas island for leisure and water activities including kayaking, paddle boarding and paddle boat for rent. Enjoy the tranquility and fun at same time. Watching bald eagle flying and diving for fishes sometimes. Recommended for family outing and vacation spot in this State Park anytime of the year.
Andrew Tan — Google review
Love this place. Have visited many times and camped several. A variety of hikes both in terms of difficulty and experience. By the latter I mean a short small valley trail, around the lake loop trails, and up the mountain through forest with vistas from thousands of feet up. And a little "castle" too. The last 3 night trip I got in two hikes. paddled my yak and swam in 2 different awesome little lakes. At night, a 10 min walk to the lake shore to view the moonlight on the lake. Winner.
Also, the dork in me loves the rare firewood vending machine. Great to help the effort of not transporting firewood between eco systems and just cool at the use of tech. Yes, I feed it my credit card and a bundle of wood comes rolling down the shoot.
Campsites are a little small and can be kind of close together though it varies across the 3 campgrounds. You have to ask yourself if you are there for remotness and privacy (no) or easy access / close probity to one of the lakes. 4 sure. bathrooms were clean and stocked.

I really liked State Park camping. My campsite was facing to the lake. Closer to lake shore beach. I did a lot of hiking in the morning then SUP board paddling in the afternoon. 10mins drive to small downtown. Restroom was clean.
Tomoko Nakajima — Google review
One of my favorite parks to visit and camp in. Lots of recreation options, with multiple trails of various lengths, waterfalls, lakes, viewing tower on top of Mt. Constitution, and lots of campsites. For a kid-friendly hike, try the Cascade Falls trail or the Mountain Lake trail. Most campsites are spacious with decent privacy, plus lake views from many. My only complaint is the showers; as with nearly every Washington State Park, the money box says 50cents for 3 minutes, but it never actually lasts 3 minutes. The middle campground showers were timed at 2 minutes, 38 seconds. WA Parks needs to adjust their timers or change the wording to make it accurate.

Whatcom Falls Park is a scenic city park located in the hills, featuring waterfalls, gardens, trails, a fishing pond, and a playground. It's an ideal place for families to visit and enjoy nature. The park has public washrooms and a small playground near the parking lot. Visitors can take short hikes along relaxing trails surrounded by trees. Although it may not be as expansive as some parks, its beauty makes it worthwhile to visit.
A lovely park with an ancient bridge and beautiful waterfalls. Short and light (there are stairs at some point so not suitable for a baby stroller). Near the parking lot there are public washrooms and small playground. Highly recommended.

Beautiful place for a more challenging walk/hike. Most of the trails were pretty narrow and a little muddy(we went in December). A few of them required a more adventurous disposition than I had that day and I didn't wear the best shoes. I have been told that the falls are much more full rapid flowing if you visit in the spring when the mountain snow melt flows down. I think it's fantastic any time of year. Visited December 2018

Small yet beautiful falls to visit. If you are expecting it to be a big place, it’s not. You just need to walk 2 mins to see the falls, however there are trails where you can do hike in between trees which feels relaxing and soothing.

A very serene area where the falls are flowing.
Loved the peace and calm there.
Just after a very short hike up the falls you will find another small falls - we saw lot of young people playing,bathing and swimming there - looked fun but I think i read no swimming in falls somewhere in the park so not sure if this was allowed.
The small playground is nice for less then 4 years old kids.

Amazing walk!!! The falls is located just about 5 minutes away from the parking lot.
There are different swimming areas which we loved. Water is a bit cold but refreshing!
You can continue the walk through the park and reach the Bloedel Donavan Park, which I highly recommend!
This entire walk takes a total of 1.5 hours to complete. Easy!

This is not the closest parking area for viewing the falls. If you want to see the falls and not walk far, use directions for Whatcom Creek Park.
That being said it’s still a nice shady walk to the falls from here. The whole park is huge with lots of trails.
Lots of people swimming in the creek, I was surprised how inviting the water looked. Still we never figured out a way to get down there that didn’t freak me out because it’s a steep jump and a long fall if you are not careful.

Lake Padden Park is a vast green space located near a lake, which offers several sporting facilities like courts and fields. It also provides access to boats, fishing spots, and hiking trails. The park has ample parking spaces but might get crowded in the summer season. There are dog bag stations available but could use some more. The entire area is well-maintained and litter-free with friendly people around.
We walked around the lake. It has a really nice wide path all the way around. I think it was around 3 miles. Plenty of parking, at least this time of year. I’m not sure how the parking situation is in the summer when it’s super busy.
The bathrooms were open. There are 2 dog bag stations. I think they could use a couple more.
The whole park is really clean. I didn’t see any litter at all which is nice.
Everyone we encountered were friendly and polite. It is a very pleasant place to walk your dog and enjoy the water.

Beautiful lake, but very small! Easy access with multiple parking lots and entrances. There's a boat launch available too (not really a lake for motor boats IMO - better to go to Samish). Public restrooms available; walking path around the lake and through the park; a swimming area; picnic tables with BBQ's; and multiple garbage bins near the parking lot for easy cleanup before getting to the car. Dogs welcome on leashes. Worth trying out. IMPORTANT NOTE: There are aquatic invasives to be mindful of, particularly if using any water craft, or water toys (eg noodles, soakers, etc) - proper cleaning after using the lake is a must!

Lovely place however I have been told not to swim here due to bacteria most of the year.
I highly suggest it for a good 45-60 min walk around the lake. A few good uphill inclines, nothing too difficult for a stroller. Lovely park full of runners, swimmers, kayakers, paddle boarders, dog walkers, bikers and children playing.
The view is lovely, and the birds are very relaxing to listen to. I walk here almost every day, and have never seen anyone smoking here which is wonderful. There's some good back paths if you really want to make a day of it, however, those are a lot less stroller friendly, and a lot more bikers that go through that part.

A golf course, off leash dog park, softball/baseball fields, countless bbq/picnic tables, lake access, hiking trails, and tennis court to name a few! The park gets very busy on beautiful days but there are typically plenty of parking options. Check the postings as sometimes there can toxic algae that can make swimming/other water sports risky/dangerous.
Forested area with 10 mi. of hiking & biking trails & valley views from 2 observation platforms.
What a beautiful place! Well groomed trails, a small parking lot (maybe 5 cars fit) but there is also more parking if you go up Little Mountain Park road before you reach the secondary parking lot closer to sea level. The trails were well marked, there were benches and little informational signs throughout, we will definitely be returning! Would not be ideal for strollers or wheelchairs.

There is something for everyone on this little mountain! Endless trails with varying difficulty levels, plenty of biking areas, amazing views, even a dark and light side of the mountain depending on the time of day! Whether you feel like a cool, relaxing, shady hike or a beautiful sun-soaked walk through the forest, Little Mountain is the place to go!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Contemporary casino lodging with 125 rooms, several dining/bar options & live entertainment.
My husband and I have watched this casino grow from the time it is open to present day it’s one of the best casinos to go to in Washington. It’s are go to place for a birthday anniversary and just a quick vacation the hotel is wonderful. We stayed at the hotel for about the 6-7 time and last night was just as great as the 1 st stay. From front desk staff to room readiness and very clean and I NO CLEAN (retired executive housekeeping management) so we will be back! And dinner was good and had more fun at the slots didn’t win there but a quiet room and a very comfortable bed and pillows made up for it. Thank you for the best time in the middle of the week.

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

We just spent two free nights because of an offer we received. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The staff there is very helpful and friendly. The casino is clean and beautiful, with every slot machine imaginable, including some of the games that have been around for years. I had good luck, and lots of fun. The restaurants are great. We will definitely return whenever we can.

We love going to Angel of the Winds to stay and play, and to eat! Jade Fusion and 210 brewery are our favorites. Food is always good. Last night we enjoyed the executive salad with juicy hamburger patty on top.
Lots of new slot machines and some of the old classics.
The registration desk persons are always very welcoming and friendly. Rooms are clean and linens are very nice and bed is comfortable.

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

Don't know about the rooms imagine they are nice. Love the fact that it was a non smoking casino. New machines very clean. We enjoyed it greatly.Nice coffee shop. Clean restrooms. Friendly & polite staff.That is a plus in it own right. Plus I am 3/4 CHEROKEE Indian myself .First Indian casino ever been in.Much nicer in my opinion than the ones in Mississippi & Reno. We had a great time for our short little adventure. We will come again.

I was impressed by the Vegas-style inspiration and layout of the casino floor. It felt so exciting to walk in with music playing across the parking lot. My room was clean and comfortable during my stay. They had multiple food options and a cute café-style breakfast espresso stand. The staff was engaging and friendly. I can't wait to return.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This is a great place to shop, especially during the holidays. It's best for clothing and shoes. It's also a great place for kids, plenty of food locations and spots to play. There is a parking lot and garage. Although it can be crowded on weekends, it always seems to have parking. Fun place to visit!

Great deals! Awesome shopping experience!
Edit- those who want to go via public transportation need to catch a bus from Bellevue transit center bay-4.
I recommend checking google for more details before planning. the bus takes around 2-3 hours depending on traffic. with a car, it's 35 - 45 minutes. However, I would suggest taking a cab.

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

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

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

Journeys East, located within the Tulalip Resort and Casino in Marysville, is a vibrant restaurant offering a diverse menu of Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese cuisine. Guests can indulge in an array of delicacies from different Asian cultures while enjoying a selection of cocktails and wines. The exceptional service provided by the friendly staff adds to the overall dining experience.
First stay at Tulalip Casino. We had ordered sushi here as well, but the service and food with drinks was phenomenal. The chicken karaage on the appetizers menu section was to die for (ask for extra lemon to drizzle, truly makes a difference). We, husband and I, had just sat at the bar outside the main restaurant but still had an amazing experience. If you are at the casino hit this place up!

Been here many times but first time writing a review of this restaurant. Probably everyone knows this is a very popular place. The food is absolutely great.

What happened Journeys East?
Used to be my favorite Asian restaurant in the North end, with contemporary dessert options.
Steamed halibut. Should be renamed to "Microwave" fish. Seriously the halibut stuck to the plate, and it looked and tasted microwave, and just added the yet simple sauce but mediocre. Not worth $30 for this dish!
Green curry with chicken. Curry broth and chicken is spot on, but I didn't realize there would be so many cucumbers and less chicken.
Spicy wontons. Just wontons and chili oil. Probably the only redeeming dish.
Service was okay. Waitress was nice but lack a bit of attention, as we had to flag her down for additional orders.
Overall, if you're out trying to make your luck and crave Asian meal, stick to the lower cost typical items, you should be fine.
It used to have taste/quality of a good restaurant now more of cafeteria quality.

I have been dining at this restaurant since it opened. Before COVID I dined here at least once a week. Several of the servers are familiar with my order and have always provided excellent service. However, after negative experiences on my last two visits I don’t plan on coming back.
On my previous visit the expeditor, Loralei, was in a rush. She kept trying to bring dishes to our table that we did not order. When she finally did bring the dish we were waiting for she slammed it down on the table. Hard enough that I was afraid the momentum would take it off of the table.
We spoke to the manager, Shannon, she apologized and said she would speak to Loralei. She did admit to setting dishes down roughly. We were assured she would receive more training and that she was a good worker that was simply trying too hard to be quick. As our previous experiences had always been positive we felt the matter was resolved.
This evening was about a month after the first incident. I came in with my husband and a friend. We placed our food and drink order with the server and everything seemed fine.
Loralei was the expediter again. At Journey’s the food comes out as it is made. Consequently, someone always ends up waiting for their food. We are used to this system.
Loralei brought my dish. I said it was mine and she set it front of my friend. She corrected herself, but slammed the bowl of pho down. At that point I thought she may have had an issue with me because I had made a complaint about her. I tried to not think anything of it, but then a few other incidents made me think it was intentional.
My friend also ordered pho. I saw a bowl of soup in the window. I did not assume it was ours until I observed Loralei run other dishes that came out afterward. Our server then saw the soup in the window and brought it over. At this time we still had not received our appetizer and my husband was still waiting for fried rice. I let the server know there was an issue and he said he would look into it.
I observed three orders of fried rice go out before my husband received his. I know one of those tables was sat after ours. At this point I asked to speak to a manager.
Before we spoke to the manager Loralei brought my husband’s rice out. She said “Here is a serving spoon if you want to share”. As she said this she brazenly rolled her eyes.
When, Shannon, the manager came to the table (With an unknown man at her side. Did she find me threatening?) I explained that we had a negative experience with Loralei the last time we had dinner. As I was explaining this Loralei delivered our appetizer. I glanced in her direction and probably had an unpleasant expression on my face. Shannon said “Direct that towards me not her”. I can appreciate a manager that stands up for their staff, but not when a staff member is blatantly rude. I explained to Shannon that I cannot control my expressions when someone is being openly disrespectful. She said” Well, two wrongs don’t make a right”.
After that I felt the conversation was going nowhere. I asked for the Food and Beverage managers contact information and both their names.
Shannon said she was the manager of the restaurant. I again requested her managers information. She wrote the information on a card. According to LinkedIn she gave me the assistant managers name.
I lost my appetite and asked Shannon to take my plate and remove it from the bill. Which she did. It took sometime to pay our bill. She pulled our server aside and they both looked in our direction. I assume she felt the need to warn the server about us. We had no issues with our server, Ryan, he did a good job and did his best to help resolve an awkward situation. I will be reaching out to the Food and Beverage manager. I don’t plan on going back unless they hire a better expediter and a manager that can manage.

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

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

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

This restaurant is located in the Tulalip Casino. The food and service was good, and the prices were affordable. The menu consist of various types of Oriental Cuisine. Be advised you may have a wait, so be sure to get on the waitlist or make a reservation.

Dining here tonight was good. Our waitress was on top of things. Food was very fast and fresh. I will be back. Wonton was okay. Rolls were delicious. Udon noodles were great. Honey walnut shrimp was fantastic. Can't wait to try some new dishes next time. Thought the portion on the shrimp could have been bigger as there were only 10 for $18 but by the time I was done I was full and happy.
The Boeing Future of Flight museum is dedicated to the history and future of aviation. Visitors can explore exhibits covering the history of aviation as well as tours of the commercial jet assembly plant. The museum also has a few fun things to do and see, making it a great place for all ages to learn and explore. The shop is excellent, and the staff is knowledgeable and helpful. However, the factory tour is currently closed due to Covid-19.
Was very excited to hear that tours were back! Took a friend visiting from California on the 10:30 tour. Christopher was our great storyteller guide. I've done the tour in the past many years ago on weekends, so it was interesting to see it during the weekday. You can't bring any phones or cameras on the tour. They have free lockers to stow your purses, backpacks, phones, or food. I bought my ticket ahead online the day before we visited.

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

Despite the factory tour being closed, the backstage pass film is a good way to find out more about the history and operations at this site. It's no substitute for a real tour though! There was a Q&A session at the end which was a good opportunity to ask questions, although some of the answers given weren't very informative.
The museum and viewing deck are good, so this is a good way to spend a few hours just half an hour outside Seattle.

Went on a Monday afternoon and spent about an hour and half there. Thought it would have a lot more things to look at but there were no factory tours available and some of the exhibits were still under renovation. Staff at the drone pilot and AI stations were very friendly and pleasant. Those interactive stations were pretty cool. The price was cheap ($6).
Worth a visit if you are in the area and you have a couple hours but definitely not a destination like the Museum of Flight. The gift shop was my favourite part of my visit.

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

I was impressed with the variety, quality and engagement of their exhibits. My 9 and 11-year old girls had a blast. Mini robots that do tricks following lines drawn on paper, a drone flying cage, fly a flock of birds onscreen with body motions, eliminate space junk with a computer game, look at mini drones the size of a fly, make up to 6 ping pong balls float mid-air on tiny streams of air, design your own plane by picking features then flying it in a cockpit to see how well it flies (simple enough for 5-year old to enjoy). We probably missed 5 or more exhibits because we ran out of time! Very inexpensive for the hours of enjoyment. Highly recommended!

This is a good place for young and old, not a whole lot to see, we were there about an hour. But it was interesting. Drones (in a cage) and simple motorized cubes that you can draw a path for them to follow, great for kids. We enjoyed the visit, I know there are bigger museums but for a quick “something to do” that’s not too expensive… it was perfect. Just know to keep your expectations low on the quantity of airplanes. There were several coming soon exhibit so it’s looking to expand.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This place is absolutely awesome the facilities are five-star and the quality of the vintage aeroplanes is the best I have ever seen in the whole world.

Great museum with some planes that are the last of their kind. Most of the planes and tanks are fully operational. I was told that in the past, and hopefully in the future, some of these planes and tanks are flown/driven in demonstrations on holidays, including firing the tanks (with blanks). There is an interactive educational section as well. The docents were friendly and helpful with a decent amount of knowledge.

Definitely a must visit place if you are looking for historical artifacts around WWII. Beautifully preserved and restored armored tanks and airplanes from the Wars. The best part though are the volunteers who work as guides here. All of them have some family involvement with the heritage and their level of knowledge is impressive.
Couple this trip with the Boeing - Flight of Future (right around the corner) and you have a fantastic field day lined up for family and friends.

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

The best collection of WW II warbirds that I've seen since Planes of Fame in Chino. Meticulously restored, airworthy historical planes. The ground combat vehicles were nice to see, but I came to see the planes. Only gripe is having to endure inappropriately loud visitors that pushed me aside & talked about things unrelated to the museum.

Wow what a great way to spend a few hours. It's a great mix of planes--a mind-blowing number of which still fly--and vehicles. The displays are well-described on plaques and banners. And there are several roving volunteers to answer questions. We had great conversations with David who knew his stuff and was the friendliest guy we met all week. Highly recommended. Be sure to look through the fence at the new green Boeings and the military ramp.

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

Awesome place to visit to teach the family about military equipment. Great learning experience for anyone interested in mechanics and aviation. WWII is the main inventory. They do have some stuff predating WWII and other vehicles from Vietnam. Very good variety of armor and planes. They even have a working me262! It's worth the price of admission. The staff are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The gift shop has a lot of variety. They will hopefully start doing live demonstrations soon.
The Bloedel Reserve is a sprawling nature preserve that spans 150 acres and boasts forests, landscaped gardens, and a reflection pool. Its well-designed walkways provide ample opportunity to appreciate the horticulture and design of the park. The park is particularly stunning in rainy weather, as the various shades of green stand out vividly. Visitors can tour the Bloedel residence, which includes bathrooms and an impressive art collection. A gift shop at the gatehouse offers further opportunities for exploration.
The trails are beautifully done. Easy to walk paths through fields, forest, and around ponds. So many different plants that look different every time I go. Many benches that invite you to stop and enjoy the view. I highly recommend you go every season to see the wonderful changes in the gardens and paths.

Nice place to catch fall colors, not so much for flowers, though. When I came on a weekend, there was not many people. I had the place with my friends.
Had to buy tickets ahead of time. They do not sell at the door. $20 per person.
When you get there, you have to stop at this sign, and the staff comes out and ask for your name to check against their printed list. My name wasn't on it since I bought my tickets 30 minutes ahead of time, but I did have a confirmation email.
You can spend as little as an hour or as much as three hours here. There are many paths. This is a nice nature/garden walk. Most of it was relatively flat . No mosquitoes despite many ponds.
Overall, it is a fairly well marked and nicely maintained trails.
The only animals I saw were ducks.
I found restrooms in the visitor center (entrance) and at the mansion. The visitor center is a gift shop that sells postcards, chocolate, and small snacks.

Make sure to reserve your tickets. If you don’t they may act snooty and tell you to come back later after booking online. We were told it was sold out but then immediately booked tickets online. The property itself is gorgeous and well maintained. $22/person is a bit pricey for this experience but if you are visiting the island it’s a nice experience

Stunning public gardens that are definitely worth visiting. It was pretty much empty when we came on the weekend. It takes about 2 hours to slowly stroll through all the different gardens.
The property itself is also stunning and has a room dedicated to the history of the house.
I’ve seen several reviews suggesting picnicking on the lawns, but for what it’s worth the website says that’s not allowed.

Beautiful park. The walkways don't take too long but give yourself plenty of time to take in all the aspects of horticulture and design.
The park is most beautiful in the rain, I think, as all the different shades of green really stand out.

The park and the trails are well maintained, but be aware that trails are not stroller friendly.
My favorite parts were the reflection pond and Japanese garden.
But I was left with a bad experience by turning us back at the gate for having my small dog in the car. We were asked to park the car outside the property and walk in. I understand the reason for not allowing any pets in the park, but not letting them be in the car in the parking lot felt heavy-handed (gave me colonial vibes).

The Bloedel Reserve is amazing! Its incomparable beauty will leave you with a lasting impression. From the natural, open entry to the Reflection Pool, and through the moss garden, you'll want to be immersed all day in these spaces. Take your time. Enjoy the serenity of its many water features and the tranquility of the Japanese garden. I love this place and highly recommend a visit if you're going to be on Bainbridge Island. I visited on 3/9/24. It was a rainy day but still an amazing visit!

I'm not necessarily a huge hiking outdoorsy person, by native PNW standards. Love a beach and a nice day in the sun but I would rather see some art than go to a park. Context to say, if you visit Bainbridge Island this is a MUST DO. Easy walk. Relatively flat 2 miles of just stunning sensory experience for the spring and summer. The most memorable parts were the wild flower grassland—the whole place smelled like honey, I wish they sold it! + the Japanese house and mansion.
Would return. Great way to spend 3 hours or so on a day trip then go have dinner or get on the water. Very memorable vs just going shopping or something. Worth your time.

Gorgeous reserve! Ticketing was a bit confusing since we didn't plan to go here but passed by and the sign said we needed tickets booked online. However data is a bit slow in the area and they are aware, so you can go into the toll booth/gate and ask for/get a plastic card with wifi password on it, park inside temporarily, buy tickets online, then return the card to the toll booth then explore the reserve!
I wish I took more photos but at the same time it was so beautiful there that we were completely immersed in the experience for the most part. Very beautiful park and views, extremely well maintained!

Bloedel Reserve is magical. Gorgeous views, secluded, peaceful, and full of lovely local history. An easy walk throughout but lots of variance in views and scenery. So many beautiful ponds, trees and flowers. We bought a year membership after our first visit because it is definitely a place we will visit multiple times in the year and get our money's work. I can't wait to come back again in the winter and then again in the spring. Definitely going to be bringing a picnic next time.

Gorgeous reserve. Exceptionally beautiful during autumn to see color changes of foliage. A bit of wildlife can be observed while walking the grounds. Buy tickets before hand. You must arrive writing a certain time frame or else you’ll have to wait until you window is nearer to enter the reserve. A fair amount of walking but easy to do and lots odd places to stop, rest, take in the scenery. Many different areas to enjoy within the reserve. The Bloedel home is open to view their living spaces inside. Helpful staff inside the house to answer questions. A gift shop is located at the entrance with unique jewelry, crafts, dishwater, books, blankets, and more. Restrooms also available at the entrance and inside the home. A wonderful way to spend a morning or afternoon.

This garden is beautiful in the fall. A nice walk to see a house like Pemberly with a variety of gardens but my favorite is the Japanese garden. There's an overlook of the Sound. Nice little shop with art, jewelry, gloves and umbrellas in case you forgot.
Be aware: they close at 4 but won't let anyone in after 2:30. So don't be late!!! We came late and had to beg based on the drive time to get there for mercy. They were kind enough to agree, but you could tell they didn't really want to and were just too polite to argue.
We were able to walk most of it in about 45 minutes, but if you do want to linger and see the whole thing it will probably take you about an hour and a half to do it justice.
I'd like to come back in spring to see the flowers bloom here too.

We came on a Friday afternoon so it was very easy to get in, but reservations are recommended on the weekend.

The Reptile Zoo is a well-kept and spacious facility that offers hands-on experiences with various reptiles such as lizards, snakes, and an albino alligator. Tortoises, turtles, iguanas, crocodiles, African bullfrogs, and tarantulas are among the creatures available for viewing. The staff is friendly and each reptile has personal details displayed. Visitors can also browse through the small gift shop upon entering.
I love this location and so does my son! We are big reptile fans and this place just keeps getting better and better over the years. They have a wondeful selection of reptiles. Staff always friendly and informative. Great location for all ages and close to home,.

Smaller than I imagined, but fit lots of different reptiles inside the exhibits. You can go through this in an hour maybe two if you take your time.
Most exhibits are harder to see through and needs updating, which I think is happening soon.
Still had a good exhibits and worth the price.

I highly recommend visiting this reptile zoo, but be sure to dress comfortably as it can get quite warm inside, which is perfect for the reptiles. I was thrilled to see the diverse range of reptiles, and it was an unforgettable experience to touch a snake for the first time and come face to face with a crocodile. These creatures are truly magnificent. While I wished the facility was better maintained and provided more spacious habitats for the animals, I understand the financial constraints involved. Overall, it's a worthwhile visit for any reptile enthusiast.

Neat and tidy, organized and spacious inside. Lots of snakes, tortoises, turtles, lizards and iguanas. A few crocodiles, African bull frog, tarantulas too!

Went with my 4.5 year old and he absolutely loved it! We got to pet a few turtles which was nice. And so many different snakes.

Will definitely come back again.

DO NOT BELIEVE the lower star reviews. Bunch of vegan hippies who worship peta and post bad reviews for normal zoos. Anyways - I loved this place. The people are awesome and I saw no signs of neglect. Everything looked clean and there was definitely enough room for them considering they are rescues and unable to live in the wild. Take your kids! Not only is there tons of cool information to read as you ago, the gift shop has great prices and it’s a very fun experience

We spotted this place as we driving through Monroe WA.
We went back to check it out.
Admissions fee $10.96 and it is a Self Tour, but at 5pm they have a “feeding tour” which is included in the entrance fee.
Be prepared as it is a bit humid in temperature for the comfort of the reptiles and other creatures to be comfortable.
Lot’s of cool creatures to see.

We had a fantastic time visiting the Reptile Zoo! The owner and staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and they took the time to answer all of our questions. The variety of animals was great, and all of the reptiles seemed healthy and happy. We especially enjoyed seeing the black tortoises, which were huge and majestic. Our children were also really engaged and excited to learn about all of the different reptiles.
The only downside to our visit was that we live out of state and won't be able to come back anytime soon. However, we would definitely recommend the Reptile Zoo to anyone who is interested in learning more about reptiles or who is looking for a fun and educational outing for the family.

My partner and I are from South Eastern BC and would often travel to Monroe for Formula Drift; every time we passed this business I would comment how I wanted to stop there. We had travelled to Seattle in early October 2023 for my birthday and were travelling the day of my birthday so we decided to stop in at the Reptile Zoo. Not sure how we managed to plan it this perfectly, but we got there right at feeding time on a Friday. We toured through with another group and watched majority of the reptiles get fed which was a super cool experience! The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and you can tell he was very passionate about his reptiles; he shared a story / a memory about each and every one of the reptiles there with us. As someone who has owned several snakes in the past, I can confirm that the reptiles did not appear to be uncomfortable or in distress, as some other reviews may suggest. This was definitely an amazing way to spend my birthday and we will absolutely be stopping in again the next time we are in the area!!

The Reptile Zoo was actually a lot bigger than I thought it would be. I brought my 2 year old and we were there for a whole hour. They can pet some of the tortoises, which is neat! Also, this is not a glorified pet shop – there are black mambas! It's super cool seeing the most dangerous snakes in the world.

My kid had fun. We saw exotic animals.
They all look3d so miserable and sad. They looked neglected. The building looked like it was borderline condemable. There was spider webs everywhere. Hazards galore. Plugs and metal and water combined. An unlocked snapping turtle cage. Rotting food in cages no water in hot cages crowded with little to no supervision. People tapping and banging on glass. Unsafe kids area with lights held by duck tape. Dirty very gross cages. Oil water. Blocked fire extinguishers. Rotting ceilings. Literally dripped water and debry onto me personally. It is so gross so sad and so dangerous. But your kids might love it. Never again. Never ever again. Should be shut down!!!!!

We had an amazing time at the reptile zoo. My daughter was able to pet a snake and a crocodile. The experience was priceless and the admission is worth the price! Friendly staff! We would go back for sure!
Update: We have returned two years later with my nephew and MIL. They have added so much more and my daughter (her second visit, too) and nephew loved it!

Small but it's worth a visit. Lots of cool critters to check out.
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!!!

Easy hike until right before you get to the falls. Then the hard part comes. There’s two waterfalls you can get to and both are gorgeous. We went more like 7 miles accidentally but whatever
Jordan Pischke — Google review
One of my favorite quick and easy hikes. Get there early as the parking lot does fill up quickly, especially in the summer. The trail is well maintained, but it does get muddy in the spring or after rains. Not challenging but a good pay off.

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.

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

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.
Christopher Roman — Google review
This is perfect place for a great family hike. We did the lower and middle falls, which is 4.2 miles in total. We reached there around 9:30 am and luckily found a parking in the main lot. If you do not find parking, there are opportunities to do roadside parking. Going up is mostly uphill, it is not too steep but can be challenging for kids and you may need to make stops in between. The views are fantastic, specially at the middle falls. There is a picnic shelter at the lower falls.
Arjun Bardhan — Google review
Beautiful trail. It’s a very famous hike so the parking lot will almost always be packed especially on the weekends. The entire trail is well maintained. I clocked in roughly 5 miles all the way to the upper falls and back to the trailhead. It’s totally worth it in my opinion to push through to the upper falls. The trail is quite steep at some points. Make sure to take your breaks in between. Lots of benches spread throughout. Make sure to stay on the trail as there are steep drops especially from the viewpoints. Discover pass is required!
Azhar Malik — Google review
The reason why I only gave 4 stars first is because there is a high-voltage line at the beginning of the trail road to the waterfall.
You can accompany your dog and the daily fee is $10.00. Of course, it's worth it, the signs are so good, and there are benches everywhere, so it was so nice to take a rest.
The uphill is a bit steep, so it can be a bit difficult for the elderly.
It's 4 miles round trip from the parking lot to the lower fall and it's a highly recommended trail.

Great hike with scenic views.
While it can get crowded, going in the morning hours will help you avoid the trail traffic.
Be prepared for uphill climbs.
Neil Konitshek — Google review
This was a perfect hike for a typical PNW day. The trail is well maintained, views all the way along so no pressure for those who aren’t super hikers. The trail is mostly in the woods so even in the rain and wind it was a very pleasant hike. We got to “middle falls” before deciding to turn around. Some steep sections but nothing crazy. Great little hike! Facilities at the parking area were clean and well kept, parking was easy (don’t forget your discover pass), we brought our dog and he met lots of other friends along the route.

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

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

Beautiful hike , lots of parking 2.5 hours round trip to the upper falls . Not a hard hike. Kid and dog friendly
The Burke-Gilman Trail, a converted railway corridor that stretches over 20 miles through parklands and residential areas, is a versatile multi-use pathway. This pedestrian thoroughfare stands out among interurban routes in various states due to its superior quality. While Portland boasts longer trails, they do not match the excellence of the Burke-Gilman Trail.
Goes a lot of great places! Well-traveled and has some beautiful views.

Noise Maker — Google review
The segment from Kenmore to Matthews beach is good for walking, running, or biking, as it's flat with minimal crossing streets. The views could be better (it's mostly people's backyards on this segment, to be honest), but it's still a good place for a long walk/ride/run. The trail supports about 3-4 people across, and traffic gets a little high on weekends, so if you go, be sure and mind your trail manners:
Bikers - The speed limit is 15 mph and you have to yield to pedestrians. It is not uncommon to get buzzed by packs of road cyclists going way over 15.
Runners - Stay to the right, even if the unofficial dirt path you want to run in is on the other side of the trail. I often see people running 2 wide on the left side just so 1 of them can be on the dirt and it creates lots of problems.
Walkers - You have ultimate ROW, but please don't abuse it. If you want to stop and chat, move to the side so others can pass.
Dog Walkers - Keep your pets close to you and on the right side of the trail if possible. I see near-collisions with dogs almost every time I go out. And please don't hang poop bags on fences.

Not a bad walk. Would be better if you had better views of the water and less traffic noise in parts but overall is an ok walk. May be better to cycle than walk to get to other parts of the trail faster.

Alex Maloney — Google review
This “trail” , pedestrian byway is the best interurban route I’ve seen in any state. Portland, Oregon also has some that have longer duration but that are far lower quality. As a basic commuter on foot, or runner or even a person an a cane. If you are looking for a cozy urban woodland feel or a way to avoid traffic as a cyclist, it’s unbeatable in all ways. IT HAS NO LIGHTING after dark so beware to time your trips appropriately or bring the right gear. Bicycle times for trip are almost completely inaccurate. So plan added time for those commutes.
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!
Food:
Spinach Artichoke dip w/hot pita
Duck & fig flatbread
Parmesan fried (huge bowl)

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

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

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!!! Plenty of food and wine while you wait in the beautiful venue. Also members get discounts 🥳

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

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.

Situated alongside Lake Washington, the extensive Washington Park Arboretum spans 230 acres and showcases a splendid collection of rare trees and a Japanese garden. Managed jointly by the City of Seattle and the University of Washington Botanic Gardens, this botanical haven boasts various sections such as the Pacific Connections Garden, Rhododendron Glen, and a winter garden with optimal viewing from late November to March.
This place is inspiring and peaceful. I love the flowers 🌺 on the trees and bushes. So many different species of magnolias and trees. I am coming back here! The cherry blossoms or maybe what they call Sakura Trees are very beautiful right now they are in bloom don’t miss out on this experience.

The arboretum is an absolutely wonderful place to come and take some really relaxing walks. The layout is very picturesque and the planting is extremely well thought out and looks lovely regardless of the season. It's recently easy to get lost though, because the signage is not stellar. Thankfully the parking lots are numbered which made it easier to find my way back to the car, and the restrooms are well kept at the visitor center for which I am always grateful. I look forward to coming back to watch the changing seasons.

Just explored the Japanese garden. It’s a pretty small area and feels to made up and not natural. There aren’t any signs to know about the plants/trees around.

Trails are paved and unpaved with a lot of places to explore. It's easy to get lost in here since the signage isn't great. I highly recommend dropping a pin at your starting point (for me, it was my parking spot) so you can find your way back if you're not familiar with the park.

This park is big with many varieties of plants in different sections. We walked the entire loop and even in the rain, it was enjoyable. I wish there were more labels on the trees but nevertheless, it was a great visit. Our favorite place is the Japanese garden. It is the only area that charges admission but it is well worth it. It is better in our opinion that the Portland, OR Japanese gardens and that is saying a lot as that is also spectacular. We loved it enough to probably visit again this week. There are only 2.5 gardeners for the perfectly cared for Japanese garden - amazing.

The arboretum is a lovely and relatively flat hike. The variety of plants is very nice. I suspect I missed the peak of the flowers as I went in mid-May, but they were still quite nice. Do be aware that while the arboretum is free, there's a fee for the Japanese garden.

Beautiful Year Round.
I know many people like to come here specifically for the trees blooming, or the fall foliage, but I really like this space when the buds are just getting ready to open. There are so many picturesque spots here, plenty of benches to sit and enjoy the beauty, lots of stone lanterns, and fun wildlife spotting. They have a lovely collection of koi too. There are certainly larger gardens to explore in the area, but I like this spot because you can enjoy it, knowing you have time to see and really appreciate the entire space.

I love the Japanese garden here. It's very well maintained and elegantly laid out. Good place for a date.
You can walk through quickly if you want but if you take your time I'd budget an hour.
There's fish in the pond and the changing leaves are beautiful to see in October.
They offer tea ceremonies but we've never gone.
It's $10 a person with various lower rates for kids and seniors. Parking is usually available in the lot next to it.

Movies in the park (July-August) is such a fun, family (and dog) friendly summer activity. Parking is on the road between the two roads that access either end of the dog park - it's a bit confusing.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Family fun park & pick-your-own farm, closed in winter, with rides, entertainment & a petting zoo.
Haven't been coming here for over 10 years because the kiddos are grown. Recently came back here with my youngest niece. Pretty most of the stuff is the same. There are a few adjustments but this place is always fun as usual. The pumpkin field wasn't big or had a lot of options but the apple cannon is extremely fun. $10 for a bucket of Apple and blasting time exploring them.
Great spot for family to hang out. Little crickets absolutely will love a place like this!
My niece enjoyed a day at Remlinger Farms a lot!!
Kimberly Pham — Google review
So much fun! I had no idea just how much there would be for kiddos to do! Lines were not awful. Plenty for everyone to enjoy. Went with 4 year old niece. She had a blast on the rides, seeing animals, the apple cannon (adult favorite) and the field search for the pumpkin!
Taking off a star because despite all the hearty, healthy food in the store, the food out in the amusement park was all junk fast food (except the corn on the cob). Had a boiled hot dog for $4. I will say the mini donuts were STELLAR and totally worth it.

Remlinger Farms are the best getaway for a family weekend. It has ample activities both for kids as well as adults to get excited about. For kids under 4 years the lazy river and the bungee jump was the winner. There is a crazy big slide that can be enjoyed by all ages and rushes the adrenaline. The cafe is extremely big and has some awesome food options , do not miss the fresh farm strawberry icecream and a ping ride for kids

Remlinger Farms is a family tradition and we have been coming here for the last 7 years. We have watched this farm grow and each year they continue to add more fun for everyone. Enjoy a hot cup of cider, walking around the fun park to see the farm animals, take a train ride or go on a ride with the kids, they have it all! Don’t forget to stop by there market and pick up a fresh farm pie 🥧 and a plate of home cooked burgers & fries. Ever been apple 🍎 cannon shooting? Well they got that too and it’s way to much fun! They even have a full arcade most recently added. Oh my goodness, I can’t wait to come back here, best part is, you can enjoy this fun filled farm all year round.🥰 Highly recommended! Check out my pics and video.

What an amazing place!! Definitely recommend taking the family! My 3 year old had a blast, this being her first experience with rides. Tons to do! And a pumpkin is included in your entry(from the u-pick farm)! Will definitely be back next year

They have a huge pumpkin patch on the right side of the entry road and and fun-park with lots of rides on the left side. The fun-park entry costed around $25 per person and was good for a day. It was worth it. The train ride and car ride were real fun. Also have burger joint and lots of other eating options. You could save some money if you carry your own food. Enough benches to sit and eat your own food.

We visited Remlinger Farms In October. There are many rides both kids and adults enjoy. Expect long wait times for every ride on a sunny weekend. Some rides like train have almost 1 hour of wait time.
In October, pumpkin farm is open to public and you can pick pumpkins fresh from the farm. Unique experience with rides and farm in single place. Farm is well decorated for the Halloween with pumpkins all around and lots of Photo Booths for kids. Entrance is on the pricey end with $35 per person.

Visited the park on the first day of the Fall festival. Most rides are for little kids including the roller coaster. The stream train is closed due to parts unavailable during Corvid 19. The admission is slightly higher than summer time but each ticket entitles one free pumpkin. The market has great selection of farm products such as honey, jams, bread and cake mixes. Great for family visit.

Fantastic place for a family to spend the day. Lots of amusements of all shapes and sizes. Our 19month old loved it, especially the bouncy castles. Food was lovely too, and something for the adults in the brewery as well. Flight if beers taster, 7 dollars, little tasters of 4 beers great to sample the tastes, and all lovely.

Remlinger Farm is surrounded by beautiful countryside, so the drive there is really enjoyable. There's plenty of free parking - there was a Ford car show in one of the lots the day I went.
And outside by the front entrance is a good photo opportunity - a giant porch swing. I didn't go to their kids amusement park but there was no shortage of people entering this popular family attraction.. In the main building is a country type store with unique products like apple and pear butters, different bbq sauces, and pickles with a kick. There's fresh and frozen local produce so maybe bring a cooler bag. They also sell an assortment of beans, rice, soup mixes, jams, oats, plus different types and colors of popping corn. I noticed the homemade pies in freezers, some were sugar free, gluten free, or vegan. There is a brewery inside this store, crafting an assortment of beers. And also available is a unique selection of local wines and a big variety of cheeses to select from. There is also a restaurant if you feel like ordering lunch and eating at their outdoor seating area in the open air. What I liked was the swirled soft serve ice cream and the different assortment of flavors to choose from. And the model trains running on tracks suspended high on the walls. Bathrooms are reasonably clean and located near the restaurant area. It's a fun family place to go with a little something for just about everybody. 0xd97d569226e218ff

This is a really fun place for the whole family. Young kids will have a blast at the fun park. They also have a cute petting zoo and farm animals. Strawberry picking is also great when it’s open. Restaurant is over priced and so is the gift store. But overall it can be a really funny all day outing specially when we have those rare sunny days.

First time visit was amazing, the play was fantastic, there are sections for children + adults and sections just for kids. Wait times were a bit long for some rides, but others were totally free (spinning teacups was awesome).
The train around the park was a nice feature, and I recommend hitting that first before going anywhere. After you visit the amusement park, area, I would also recommend getting some U-Pick Pumpkins (when in season) and buy some nice fun toys for kids.
Super family friendly and we will certainly be back very often!

This was our first visit but pretty sure it won't be the last! Really enjoyed the rides and entertainment. Very refreshing to see teens/young adults running the rides and they were all very sweet and helpful to my disabled family. And the Carmel apple ice cream slushie is a must!

Fun time so much to do. Be prepared to stand in line for the rides though. Patience is a vital factor (especially if you have toddlers).
Food was fairly priced and the Pumpkin Margarita was different and good 👍 a must try for Pumpkin sake.
Heather Broadmante — Google review
AB-SO-LUT-LY AMAZING!!! Parking was easy, and entry was easy. Once we walked in, it was all about the fun. Lines went fast.
Rides were such a fun time. Lines for those went fast.
Everything was included in the $35 wrist band EXCEPT pony rides, apple cannons & zipline.
*Apple cannons were $10 a bucket of apples
* Zipline $7 a person
And I can't remember pony rides.
We did not eat there. The food looked amazing. Prices about the norm for a restraint. Portions looked good. There is no outside food or drinks inside the patch, BUT have a lot of tables outside, so all 25 of us had a picnic lunch.
We did have their apple cider slushies and sooo good. Same with the apple cider donuts. They just melt in your mouth.
We were there open to close and did everything. So worth the drive (3 hours for us).
This place was a blast. A MUST for our family again.
Angela Thompson — Google review
it is quite pricey to get into this farm theme amusement park. it takes three of us about 102 bucks to get in there(we purchased pony ride for 8 bucks too)
it is fun experience for our precious little one before he starts his first day of school.
if you have little one, it will be a good idea to invest the money to please your little one
the trip to the remlinger farm is very pictureque
love the train ride --you can see emu, llama , donkey and horse.
my little one loves jumping on the trampoline and the rope jumping

Always a fun filled venue- For young and old alike! We love bringing "Tiny Dancer" for the live music on Sundays and appreciate the 4:00 start time...A perfect way to wind down the weekend.
The Museum of Flight, situated at the southern end of King County International Airport, is the largest non-profit air and space museum globally. It houses over 175 aircraft as well as countless artifacts, rare photographs, and exhibits that bring the history of aviation to life through virtual reality and 3D activities. Visitors can engage in a flight simulation activity to experience piloting an aircraft or explore preserved artifacts using virtual museum technology.
I came in on the first Thursday of the month, a free day for everyone. This museum is a must-to-go place for those into aircraft and spaceships. You have a chance to get into these aircraft and enjoy your journey along with the museum. You better visit this museum more than once to grasp the knowledge fully. I highly recommend it to anyone

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

Very well done, lots of detailed info for each airplane. Flight simulators to try if you wish (paid).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I came here on a Free Museum Day (first Thursday of the month) and it was crowded. The museum has a lot of planes and the gift shop would not disappoint you.
This museum is kid friendly and is a great exploration for anyone
We came here for my daughter to see what the experience of skydiving I like. And she had a lot of fun. The instructors are very knowledgeable and the instructor James we had was awesome and very helpful and informative with all the younger kids in our group. From the start of the experience with Marissa taking our reservation and answering my questions (the 2 times I had called)to checking us in to the time leaving the building made for an overall perfect time.
For the other guests saying the cost is too much it is what it is...its a very unique experience and no other place to do it around here so yea it may cost more that some of your other "regular" activities but the experience is definitely one of a kind. Thank you

Went for a special birthday celebration with 10 year old vouchers. They accepted them with no problems. Super friendly from greeting us at the door through the whole process. They explained the process and made the experience a very positive one. They offer extra services and products, but were in no way pushy or over the top selling said items. The flights were fun. We all had a great time.

Seriously though, what can I say that hasn’t been said? Excellent experience and perfect execution. The high flight is extra, but it’s pretty awesome. You have an option of buying the same packages at 50% off after you have completed your flight. Plan to buy it, because you WILL want to come back!
FYI - the return flights don’t have to be for the same fliers!
Big props to the whole team. Everyone we interacted with was great! We were fortunate enough to have Ruben as our instructor. He took care of our group of six 11 year old boys like a pro! Calm, engaging, fun and friendly. Most importantly, he emphasized a safety first mindset and kept the zoo of children we brought tamed. Thank you iFLY. Thank you Ruben! See you again soon!
P.S. - The video is of Ruben. All instructors take a flight at the end of each session. It’s too fun. The kids went nuts!

A little pricey but a great experience...will be doing it again in the future. They have all the equipment that you need including tennis shoes if you forgot and wore your boots like we did. They provide training and explain things as you go so you know what is happening next. We recommend the high flight for some extra fun. The pictures and videos they provide are a great way to memorialize the fun.

This is a must do! First time flying and I am hooked! The staff was awesome and our flight instructor Kristoffer Hobson was 1st rate! Reserve your spot as space is limited. Most definitely will be returning for more fly time!

I bought a session for my daughter. I paid extra for the high fly which she really enjoyed. Unless you are part of a large group, you are put into the others who paid for the same time slot. The picture purchase option is cool and the seating if you are watching is comfortable.

Do it! Life is too short to not experience the wild, and these people here are here to make sure your experience is everything you want. We did the STEM program with Girl Scouts and the kids (and parents) had so much fun. They walk you through the whole process and make sure your questions and concerns are responded to! We can't wait to go back!
P.S. If you are nervous because you're bigger, but under the weight limit (300lbs), just try it!! Less than 260lbs can fly no problem, and 260-300, I think they talk with you before allowing.

The place the staff and the instructors are amazing!
But … if we have known that we are driving 6 hrs return from Vancouver for a 4 min session …. I don’t think we would have done it .
We bought the 4 flights 2 high fly for our son .
He went twice for 2 minutes - 4 minutes total .
When we booked the 4 flights I was thinking he is going to have 4 turns 2 with the high fly… please read the “details “ before you go !

Great experience! Came here for a work event!!! Once you get past that initial feeling, it can be quite fun. I was shocked to learn you do this with no oxygen mask. Keep that in mind. The instructors are amazing!!!

We really enjoyed our time here! Kids are delighted! Organization was at the highest level! The instructors were attentive and did their job 100%! Worth the money! If it's your first time take two flights of two minutes plus two high flights!

Watching the kids have fun was great !!!!but it's too expensive you don't get enough time for the money you pay.

I've always wanted to try skydiving, but because of musculoskeletal problems, I worry that I would get hurt. I felt safe and comfortable during the indoor skydiving experience at iFLY. It was also one of the most exciting things I've ever done. I saw people of a variety of ages, sizes, and abilities all having fun. The staff are really friendly and helpful, and it was an experience I'll never forget.

10/10 do it! Just got done with my first 2 flights and bought 4 more. Cameron was our instructor and I will definitely be scheduling my next fights with him. The amount of instructions was just right for me, not so much that I got bored but enough to understand how/why. In the flight chamber Cam was encouraging and helped me have an amazing time.

I cannot express enough how wonderful our experience was! From the moment we walked in, the staff exuded professionalism while maintaining a friendly and courteous demeanor. Our instructor, Simon, was fantastic. He skillfully ensured our safety without overwhelming us, allowing us to truly enjoy the thrill of flying. The facility was impeccably clean and well-organized, adding to the positive experience. My two children, aged 10 and 7, couldn't stop talking about the fun they had. A massive shoutout to the entire iFLY team, especially Simon, for making our visit memorable and enjoyable!
In addition, while they do try to upsell you at multiple times, it never feels like you’re being pressured. Instead, it’s much more like a friendly inquiry than a used car salesman vibe. The staff genuinely wants to enhance your experience without making you feel obligated, which adds to the overall positive atmosphere of iFLY.
I also want to mention that later in the day, after our flight, I encountered an issue while redeeming my photo and video vouchers online. However, a simple call to the front desk fixed everything right up. The staff not only resolved the matter over the phone but also patiently waited on the line while I completed my purchase to ensure there were no more issues. This level of customer service truly went above and beyond, making our entire experience at iFLY even more memorable.
