Imagination activated the moment you step in. There's so much that grabs even an adult's attention…read morewhen you walk into the doors that it is hard to focus on paying admission to get in. We lots of discipline, we got our tickets and entered the incredible children's museum. You walk into a woodland wonderland and it only gets better from there. We are pretty partial to our home museum in Cincinnati and haven't found a better one but this comes very close. Theres so many interactive areas. There is a treehouse down toward the right when you walk in along with a small town. A walk on airplane that allows kids to work with parcels, a train engine you can walk into with model train set behind. A water station as well as stairs to the outdoor portion with an extensive jungle gym, musical instruments, mini golf, and an excavation site with dinosaurs! They had science exhibits for older kids and younger kids alike. A toddler area as well. You could keep any kid toddler to about 10 years of age entertained for hours. Parking isn't free unless you can snag a coveted spot in front but it's not too pricey. Admission is $22 a person. They have last half hour free during summer which is nice. Staff are dressed in purple and nothing but kind and friendly. There is a cafe at the top (well, a "food truck" theme) and tables and benches to eat. Looked like you could pack your own food. Also looked like you could host birthday parties and field trips. All in all, impressive children's museum. We can't wait to come back!

Great little museum, lots to look at and learn. By donation. They also have a small gift shop!read more

I love all things history and this little museum did not disappoint…read more Having lived in the Seattle area my entire life, I don't know (or remember) too much about WA state history so this was really interesting. With free admission for the month of May, we gave a donation upon entry and started with the 30 minute video about what we would be seeing throughout. Without the video, I would have been clueless as to what we were seeing and who we read about. Make sure you go downstairs to view the Native American artifacts of the area.

The lighthouse is on the smaller side, but you are able to climb to the stop during opening hours. The climb up is not bad at all. The stairs towards the very top get steep but my 6 year old was able to do it with no Problem. When you are done checking out the top of the lighthouse, you can visit the small museum On the bottom and gift shop. Admission is free which is awesome.

We had scoped out this as a place to stop with our 4 yr old. We walked over and her entry was free…read more She enjoyed all the buttons to push and the displays, the beginning part through "space" and all the castles and trains. We appreciated the stop. In general, I'm not sure if I would go out of my way to come back but with kids who like small things, trains, dioramas, it was worth doing! I think we were in and out in about an hour. I bet some kids could zoom through in less time (then maybe not worth the price?) and some kids might take 1.5-2 hours, so maybe try to gauge if you think its something you/your family would enjoy. Some displays had buttons that didn't work but for the most part if you looked or read the placard you could figure out what was going on.

Miniature World has some truly impressive displays, and there were several miniatures that were…read moreincredibly detailed and beautifully crafted. It was clear that a lot of time and talent went into many of the exhibits. That said, the experience felt a bit inconsistent. Some areas were much more engaging than others, and a few of the displays didn't have the same level of detail. At times, multiple audio narrations were playing at once, which made it difficult to focus and became a little overwhelming. We also noticed that several of the interactive buttons and TV displays weren't working during our visit. For $19, I don't regret stopping by, but it just wasn't quite what I was expecting. For me, it's more of a one-time attraction than somewhere I'd visit again. If you enjoy miniature art and displays, it may be worth checking out, but it ultimately wasn't the right fit for my interests.

Really can't share my experience with you on this Museum because when we pulled up to the parking…read morelot and saw that it was supposed to be open till 5. I went and parked, started walking up only to see the employee locking the door. After inquiring, she said that she was volunteering for an event and she had to close the museum early today. There was no notice on the door when we were looking at the operating hours. When the employee drove off to her function....again there was no note left on the door apologizing for the inconvenience of not being open normal hours. I understand this is a small town, but it's not very business like to arbitrarily close up, leaving the patrons high and dry. Sad
