Visited for free on 3rd Wednesday of each month from 3 to 8 p.m. Loved the toy exhibit on the 5th floor. Anyone from ages two to ninety would enjoy looking at and playing with toys found and enjoyed over the decades. Some exhibits allow you to relive your childhood with a hands-on experience. We enjoyed playing pack woman and building small cabins with Lincoln Logs. So many interesting exhibits about the history of our state. Definitely recommend going to see.

I took our youth group for the day to check out this museum. It never disappoints! I've been here over a dozen times over the last three years and I really enjoy this place. The architecture is beautiful, the staff are brilliant, and it's always so clean! On exhibit now, February 2018, are toys from the past. The kids enjoyed playing with the "old" faves.

Cool train. There is a free day each month (3rd Thursday, I think). Nice historic set ups. Spent about an hour here w 2 kids.

We absolutely love this place!! So much to do, see, and experience. We've been three times and still have not seen it all. Another bonus to this area issue Tacoma, Union Station, Chihuly bridge over to Museum of Glass and Dock Street Marina to Commencement Bay.

Staff wasn't too impressive, but the exhibits were top drawer. Very immersive, beautiful and interesting. I really enjoyed going through the exhibit with my 11 year old daughter, and as a 3rd generation Washingtonian I was proud to show my daughter all the interesting things we have in our history. Also opened up conversations about geological theory, racism, communism, socialism, unions vs business, etc, etc. It did not come across as leaning in any particular direction which I appreciate. Highly recommend for your family.
