It might be better for older, science oriented kids, but adults will likely find it interesting as well. It's free and all they ask you do is provide some info about how many people are in your party and the zip code you are visiting from. It's a good rainy day activity and can provide some educational moments. There is an interactive scavenger hunt which involves doing 8 tasks and ends with the ability to choose a prize. The maze pen we won is pretty cool. My 10 year old nephew was easily able to complete all the tasks and seemed to enjoy doing it. Some things were like video games, which he seemed to like and maybe it will give him some ideas about career possibilities for the future. It was a good learning opportunity about the importance of saving water and learning about what happens to all the water we waste, etc. I wish I lived in Olympia and was able to trace where the water goes when I flush the toilet. It was nice that they ask you to share what you learn when you go to redeem your prize. I'm not sure if my 8 year old niece would have found it as interesting, but there are places to sit and some kitchen toys to play with if not. It looks like they also have some crafts available. Check it out if you are in the area.

When I was looking for someone to create and hold a ritual for a transition period I was going through, she came through and and put together an incredibly beautiful and touching event, and included my loved ones in the process. I also worked with Mo again to manifest a vision I had for a painting. I am not much of a painter myself but I had an image that had come to me that I really wanted to have on canvass. Mo and I talked for a little while and she started painting my vision. It was amazing to watch it come to life in a way that was so much better than expected! I was blown away.
