The Museum of Northwest Art is one of the few free attractions in the La Conner area. We wanted to…read morecheck out the town and stopped by to explore. There are about five parking spots in the small lot right next to the museum and street parking otherwise. The day that we went was actually the first day that it was open after being closed for a while. We explored some of the exhibits and one thing that caught our eye was an art piece that seemingly had some trash (like a burger bun wrapper) which was confusing. When we left we talked to the docent and she explained that it's there on purpose and many people had been asking about the very same thing. There were also some other exhibits of local artists on both the first and second floors. There's also a gift shop if you want to shop around. It's a nice place to check out some local art and support local artists.

While heading back home after spending the day at Deception Pass State Park, we decided to go a…read moredifferent route, which allowed us to stop by the town of La Conner. I've never been to the annual tulip festival, so did not know about this charming town. But I sure am glad we stopped by here. La Conner is a small town by the Swinomish Channel in Skagit County. It really has that waterfront charm to it, with small, local businesses that line down the main street, with patio dining that looks out to the dock and boats. There were many areas for public seating, with tables and chairs set up by the public boardwalk. I loved how historic the buildings are here! Much of the buildings have plaques that indicate its original purpose and the year it was established. We also walked behind the business centre of town where a residential area is, and loved the Victorian-style homes here. You just don't see many houses like that in urban areas, reminding you of that small town flavor. We are already planning to spend a weekend here sometime! Because of its tourism from the annual tulip festival, the town has some lodging options and fun activities for visitors and locals. Glad to have to stopped by this charming part of the state.

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.

The new location is designed from the ground up to house the show pieces and exhibits. Everything from the previous location is there, but nothing is crammed in. Having been a member of two of the squadrons featured there, I really enjoy visiting the exhibits of the two squadrons I served in. But there is a lot more to experience! The only downfall of the new location is that the PBY Catalina hasn't made the journey from Pioneer Way to Ault Field. YET! The management assured me, every time I ask, they are working on it and hope to have it join the rest of the exhibits soon.

Gem of a little museum that really could use your support!…read more THE ROSES: The PBY Memorial Foundation museum is dedicated to the men who flew PBY 'Catalina' flying boats from the nearby Oak Harbor seaplane base (now a municipal marina). For it's small size, it has a very well curated selection of artifacts and interactive displays. Particularly touching is a table set in remembrance of our POW/MIAs. Enthusiastic and well-informed volunteer staff are available to answer questions, but don't overwhelm you. Be sure to check out the PBY-5a Catalina across the street. THE THORNS: These guys really need a bigger facility. THE VERDICT: Superb little museum is a definite 'must visit' for history buffs. Highly recommend!
