Hands On Children’s Museum

Hands On, Hands Down the Best!

It just might not be possible to experience all of the fun in this children’s museum in one go. It’s 150 hands-on exhibits in 10 indoor spaces covering 9,000 square feet and ½ acre more outdoors. Exhibits enhance visitors’ sense of place (the Pacific Northwest), providing open-ended, playful and nature-based learning opportunities. Children learn in spite of themselves.

Children from under a year to age 10 will find exhibits in which to Build It and Move It, zoom on trike loops, wander in gardens and the Puget Sound Beach, experience a Fabulous Forest, head up the Tree Climber to the second floor and zip back down on the Stream Slide. There’s a Snug Harbor, a safe landing for kids four and under. And it’s all done in a LEED Gold facility, created by architects Miller | Hull.

This is many visits worth of wonder, exploration, learning, discovery and—most of all—fun!
