I had an absolutely wonderful time here! My husband and I rode a train pulled by a steam locomotive from Elbe, Washington to the logging museum in Mineral, Washington, where we learned all about the history of logging. Oh, and not to mention seeing some beautiful views!I would definitely go with first-class again. It's well worth $54 per ticket. They'll give you snacks, drinks, alcohol, and a really nice water bottle. I might also mention that all the cars are air conditioned and heated.

We went on the cider tour and it was great! It was a beautiful ride both to and from the museum. We had first class tickets and were able to experience some cider tastings on board!The gluten free food options and the quality of the food was not the best. But the museum, train ride, and cider more than made up for it. Plus they sell snacks at the museum!

Excellent staff! Although we originally had a negative review due to what seemed to be a lack of accommodations for disabled person. We managed to get through the train ride fine. Staff was quick to meet us afterwards to explain there had been a lack of communication to board us with consideration for seating with our disabled son and wheelchair. Staff was genuinely apologetic and that really impressed us. We are happy to know that disabled persons are usually seated first. Thank you for refunding our fees without us asking! We will definitely try this ride another time! Class act on staffs part.

Great train ride on Father's Day. We thought we'd see Mt.Rainier. There was no mountain, but it was a beautiful ride. It's super fun to go from car to car, especially to go to the open car. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, including the lift to get dad on and off the train. Definitely recommend the experience. It's so fun to find things that dad can join us. Appreciate such a great family adventure.We'd love to be able to experience the museum in Mineral. I hope that it will be open again in the future.

Fun train ride. Great, friendly staff. We went on Peanuts and the Great Pumpkin day because it fit our schedule and we weren't interested in wine day. Only critisizim is the train should have slowed considerably at the one brief opportunity to view Mt Ranier. No opinion on the food because we brought our lunch. A fun day and we had perfect sunny weather. Nice museum.

Really nice place to hold a private event. In the town of Mineral, the only way in is the Mt Rainier Steam Railway. Event content and age can be controlled. We did Oktoberfest and no one under 21 was allowed to attend. Even with attendees policing themselves, staff was on top of checking ID and making sure everyone having the beer was supposed to be there and safe. There is a really scenic event ground at the town that you need to go through the rolling stock to get to. There are several Ales to Rails events per year as well as a Charlie Brown Great Pumpkin Ride and a Polar Express at Christmas. All are well worth the trip for the age appropriate audience.

Got there early. Boarded when we could. It was a great ride. Had fun. Seeing nature like the old days. Mount Rainier was hidden behind clouds that day. Or I would have gotten pictures of it as well.

Whiskey tasting train - such a fun experience! What wasn’t clear online is that you take a 45-minute train ride up to the depot. Once at the depot you get tastings, small bites and live music. They give a lot of tasting tickets so people were feeling great! Not enough food or greedy people who didn’t see it was light bites. They ended up refilling food but my husband and I shared two small sandwiches and a few piece of cheese. Also not much seating throughout the area so lots of awkward standing around. The train ride back was LOUD - much different than the quiet ride up. 🤣

We rode the Holiday Timber Train. It was a fun, festive 75 minute ride to Mineral and back. With clear skies you could see Rainier at the river crossing which was great. You’re able to move between cars and look over the half doors which is a cool feeling. The individual windows on the train open as well. Very popular with kids who all having a great time.

We went there a month ago for the Sunday brunch train. We had high expectations because of its price and their description of a 'brunch buffet.'It took almost two hours to get there from our place. Unfortunately, it turned out that it wasn't worth visiting with such effort.The 'buffet' was just a lunch box without any options to choose from. I think they should have written that it's a lunch box, not a buffet. The place where we sat didn't feel particularly special and just looked like an old regular train.At least the kids liked seeing the front part of the train, where you could actually see steam coming out.It's difficult for me to recommend this place. It might be suitable for people who live nearby. Also, the description on their webpage needs to be improved.

So much fun! My wife and I very much enjoyed the ride. The crowd accumulates early but there was plenty of seating. The car at the front becomes the car at the rear on the return trip. The seat backs swivel so you can still face in the direction of travel. Be considerate. Don’t watch loud videos during the trip and push on the seat in front of you like the guy behind me. All the volunteers and workers were awesome! Very friendly with a lot of knowledge and humor.

First and most important to anyone planning a trip on the whiskey tasting!!!! Bring an umbrella if it looks like it might be raining!!! This venue is completely outside! There are no covers save a few umbrellas that are way to small to help anyone stay dry. We were soaked standing in the rain for an hour. The food trays were soaked and the servers serving the whiskey were soaked and not covered. The food was saturated from the rain which I probably wouldn’t have eaten anyway because there were no serving utensils people just grabbed the food of the platters with their soaking wet hands. There was absolutely no where to stand to get out of the rain except maybe the bathrooms.For $100 a person they need to do better!!!!

My visit to Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad incredibly let me down. Despite the hefty $40 ticket price, the experience fell far short of expectations. The short journey in the old, cold train car was slow and uneventful, with little to see besides trees and dried-up creeks. The supposed 1.5-hour scenic ride was just 30 minutes in one direction, a 15-minute stop, and another 30 minutes back. My group of four friends felt highly disappointed as we hoped for a more captivating and picturesque experience. I would caution others to manage their expectations if they consider visiting this “scenic railroad.”

Complete waste of money. Not worth it. The name says scenic, but it only showed thick forests, i was thinking it to have great views of Mt. Rainier (as the name suggests)

I went on a Thursday morning. Very busy with children. It was kind of scenic, but if you live in Washington and gone on hikes, then the views aren’t that special. You do get a nice view of Mount Rainier, and the river for about three seconds. The rest of the trip is through the woods and behind people’s backyards. It was neat hearing the train horn and being on an old train but it’s not something to do if you’re expecting a calming romanticized ride on a mountainside. They sell canned cold brew and bags of chips as far as food is concerned.

For “I’m on vacation” day 3, we took the Mt. Rainer Scenic Railroad, which is a 1 hour and 15 minute, 12-mile round trip excursion through forest landscapes, aboard a vintage train. The non-profit group that oversees this program stated that the historic train set is led by 100 year-old steam engine, a Polson 70, and features an open air car, two historic Pullman passenger coaches, and a baggage car that has been outfitted as a gift shop and concession stand. It was a relaxing little trip with very pretty scenery. We lucked out too. Sitting on the left side of the train had the best views of Mt. Rainer! The open air car was nice as well with wide open windows and a cool breeze. It is recommended to arrive at least 20 minutes in advance of departure so as to get your boarding tickets. The conductor will tear off the stub as you board and then punch the ticket again once the train departs the station.

TOTALLY WORTH IT!!! We were looking for something fun and memorable to do for Christmas, and this was definitely it. The staff is incredibly friendly, and go above and beyond to accommodate to make the make the ride special for everyone. The train is decorated for Christmas, and the route that is taken is gorgeous. If you are looking to make an awesome memory with your family I highly recommend making it with the Mount Rainier Railroad!!!

If you are near, it's worth the ride. If you plan on driving 3 hours, then no. It's not worth the ride. Let me explain below.The train itself is beautiful, inside where you sit ( the last two cafts) are kept clean and the seats are not too bad for the hours ride you'll experience. the front two carts have no seats. The first one is wide open, with no windows or seats, but it's a great cart to look around and see what you are passing and etc. The next cart, after that, is your food cart/gift ship. The SNACKS and drinks are pretty well priced. It was not expensive, in my opinion. Follow by the next cart and last cart, which is all seats. Now you'll see Mount Rainier. You'll also see the same mountain as you drive up to the train station. If you are coming from the East of WA, North East, and South East. Your view of the mountain is 100 times better from the drive than the actual train ride. You spend the majority of the looking at trees and maybe a small stream. The mountain part is like 3 minutes, and you'll have to be seated on the right side of the train to see it. You'll get a 2nd chance as the train goes in reverse.... yes, it's a party they go 40 Mintues out, and then the engine detaches from the train, then goes past to connect to the 4th cart. Then they throw it in reverse, and you go down the exact same track. This isn't a scenic view of Mount rainier.... it's just a scenic view, then Mount Rainier pops up for 3 minutes.If you want to see the mountain. I would just drive to the mountain itself and take your photos or find scenic views on your path through WA state.Now, if you have kids and/or just love trains. I recommend this ride. If you are just doing it for the mountain.... then I wouldn't recommend this at all.

It was a little over an hour ride although we were told it's about 1.5h. Tickets are pretty expensive, $37/person. There are two covered carriages to the end and an open air one to the front. As you leave the station , you'd see Mt. Rainier to your left. The ride is through the forrest and as it gets to the end, you'd have to wait a little till they change the locomotive. It's a nice and relaxing atmosphere, although in my opinion it's not worth the money ... but it's a one time experience . We purchased the tickets from there , no line, and were told to be ready about 15-20 minutes before the departure.

Walking paths & driving tours to view moose, American bison & bighorn sheep, plus birds of prey.
This place was a lot of fun. We were on the Sunday, 10:00 am driving tour. The only thing we did not see was the moose. The walking area is great too, many animals to see. They have a kids play area that is pretty nice too. The staff were very knowledgeable about the animals.

Loved it! It was my son 3rd birthday the day we were there! It was mid week and we were there shortly after the park opened. Everything was amazing and we had a blast! The children's playground was pretty magical with a little creek running through and plenty of places to climb! We did the drive tour as well and got to see even more animals! We will definitely be going there much more often now!

Our family had a great time on our Mother's Day visit! We did the drive through adventure and got to see several animals along the way. The tour guide was really informative and made the drive really enjoyable. The park was fun too. It was a really hot day, but there was plenty of shade to keep us cool. Lots of animals out and about, our kids really likes the bear exhibits the best. Only bummer of the day was the Kid Zone didn't have the water feature on, which would have been nice on the hot day. Otherwise, an overall fun day and we look forward to visiting again in the near future.

Great for family and especially KIDS. I had a blast as a solo traveler. I went to attend the "wild drive" driving tour. This tour was great. Saw all 7 wild animals they had to display. This tour is great if you have an amazing zoom in camera because some animals are really far. One thing i wish is we could've stop our car to take good steady pictures. On the tour you always moving around 5 mph. Tour guides are very knowledgeable and throw a few jokes in. Ill def come back again.

This place is better than most Zoos I’ve been. It’s just fantastic! Super well maintained and beautiful facilities and just beautiful animals. Any one stopping through to visit Rainier should give this place a visit. The tickets are cheap for what you get. The tram is so cool. And they do some really cool events here. Absolutely love this place and if you are on the fence about going, go! You’ll have a blast!

We went April 9th with our 2 boys 3 and 6. we did the 10 am wild tour. The girl that did our drive was amazing. She knew so much info. She talks the whole drive about how it started and about all the animals. I loved her. Then we went inside and did the whole tour inside. 10/10 for sure and will go back. I recommend if you go to go early spring or late fall when it cools down so you see more animals. Its a better cost to pay the $90 that gets up to 8 people in for the tour and the entire park.

Very relaxed visit as there were no crowds. We saw a few animals on the driving tour but not real close. Walking through the shady paths was nice on this 80 degree day but apparently animals are more visible on cooler days. The 6 year old in our group didn't have any trouble walking through the park and enjoyed Child Trek, a kids play area, complete with a small stream to walk in, barefoot of course. Benches available for watching adults in sun and shade.

We did the Wildlife Trek and the zoo/park area on our visit with my mom, my 6 year old, my husband, and myself. Each of us absolutely LOVED it! Somehow we went on a day where almost every single animal was out and active (first rainy day in awhile, if that helps)! The animals were so cool and the trek was absolutely worth it! - Things to Know: •For the trek, buy tickets in advance and show up a tad bit early! Plan your drive accordingly with traffic and possibly road work (which we ran into). •Parking is free for the zoo/park area. •Bring comfy shoes if you do the zoo part as it's quite a walk (but absolutely gorgeous). •If you do the trek, tune into the radio station they tell you to. Lots of info and lots of directions for keeping you and the animals safe. •Look ALL around on the trek! We saw animals everywhere, not just the main focus ones being talked about at the time. •Give yourself time! If you do the trek and the zoo, give yourself time for it all. •Be prepared to see some cool animals! A lot of the animals were "up close" than I've seen at other zoos. •Go into the buildings that are there/open (wolf viewing, kids area, etc.). •Plan out bathrooms (they're all over, but also spaced out). •Be careful where you stop under the Bald Eagle area (bird poop and all that). •There is a bear viewing platform that is amazing! •The cafe is small but good! •The kids park area is pretty big, but super fun!

The ride along (car train tour) is So worth the price, and it INCLUDES getting to go into the zoo itself! This place FOCUSES on conservation, and better relationships with the land we live in and the animals we share this land with! Please please please consider coming here! It's so cool and informative!!!(I ended up with So So So many videos and pictures of all kinds of creatures, but I think what is super important is to show all the plaques and signs in the zoo, they're educational about the plants, the woods we live in and the different habitats and education on the animals they have there!)Our lead for our driving tour, I cannot remember his name right now, but he was SO SO GOOD! 🙏🏽🧡He said he used to visit this zoo/park when he was a child and now he works there, educating on the animals and the land, and he said it felt like he's gone full circle. And I Love that. Thank you so much for sharing you knowledge, we WILL be coming back again!

Did the driving tour, and it was enjoyable. Saw almost everything but 1 species of animal. The moose were "babies" but still gigantic. Hard to take photos as you can't stop. Pricey for just 2 people in the car. You can have up to 6 but it's the same price regardless.Afterwards, went inside and walked around. Most of the animals were out.The 2 black bears got into a little scuffle when the little one was drinking the water, walking back to the other side. The big one then chased the little one off after.

Gorgeous in the fall with all the foliage! On the new tram we saw Roosevelt elk, mountain goats, bighorn sheep, caribou, bison, blacktail deer and many birds at pretty close range. At the park we got a good glimpse of brown bears, black bears, a lynx, wolves, snowy owls and more. Bring shoes with good traction.

We are season pass holders for NWT and have been for two years. We definitely get our money's worth. We go 2-3 times a month. It's a nice change of pace for walks. The play area is a highlight too! I recommend allotting time for the kids to play there! All of the animals are so well taken care of. They do enrichment and extraordinary enclosure maintenance for the animals.The tram still isn't open which is a major bummer, but they will give you a free ticket for when the tram is open if you ask about it. The new electric tram is scheduled to open Spring 2023. ☺️

This truly is a great experience but I was very disappointed that we could not take the bus ride around the park to see the Bison and Elk, etc. That's the main and best part in my opinion and it's currently halted until some electric bus thing is installed.They should have some way to still do this until the electric bus is installed.Outside of that, it was a nice trip. Most of the animals were out. The cats were still sleeping though. We went from 10am to 1pm. Kids really enjoyed the play area and the food is no badly priced.

This is a great experience and in a beautiful setting in the shadow of Mt. Rainer. I hadn't been here in several years (10+) and I was happy to see it was just as good. Like any drive through wildlife park where the animals are free to roam, what you see is hit or miss because the critters are free to do as they want. We did manage to see a lot of elk, some deer, a few bison, and a couple sheep (the last two weren't even spotted by the guide).The walking exhibits are also good to see and while still in a very natural setting, are more visible than those in the driving area. It's a great experience for kids and adults alike. It's about a 3.5 hour drive for us, so we likely won't be back for another 10 years or so, but still highly recommend it (it's worth the trip at least once).
Kevin — Google review
We paid $90 for the driving tour. It was a little underwhelming, but cool to see the animals right there. I got to take some nice pictures of the animals during the ride. Having the radio tuned to the host was really good, she gave a lot of good information during the trip, but maybe next time she should get more sleep. I have never heard a presenter yawn so much before...anyway, I found out that $90 also gave us entry into the zoo. This was a nice surprise and made it worth the $90-to do both things. The zoo part has the animals I looked forward to seeing as well. Just remember, the animals like to take naps as well! Sucks to see the wolf sound asleep but he/she needs his rest. I wish the areas the animals are kept in were bigger, but I guess that is the best that can be done.The staff is very friendly and I am glad we stumbled on this place while out driving. Not sure if I will go back, but it doesn't hurt to see this place at least once. The staff I interacted with seem to really care about their jobs and sharing their animal knowledge with us.

Absolutely beautiful grounds! Very walkable, and although you know they're in enclosures, it's far less commercial looking than most zoos. If you have the time, it is definitely worth doing the drive-through option. Your park admission is included in that price, so you're really better off doing the drive-through as well, especially for larger groups (5-8 people). It is more cost efficient. Hold on to your cup if you purchase one from the cafe so you can refill it, but they also offer water stations around the property if you bring a bottle. Make sure to visit the upper viewing deck for the bears as well, wonderful vantage point. All in all, worth the trip and would certainly recommend.

First time I've been back in about 15 years. Honestly, I don't love seeing caged animals, but the animals at NWT are either being rescued, restored, or protected, which makes it much easier to enjoy paying to view them. The only animal we didn't get to actually see was the Wolverine. We will definitely be going back. We walked through the animal park area and then did the Wild Drive. Great place for families!

Great way to spend the day. Make sure you plan to go earlier in the day because you're ticket will include both a driving tour (about an hour) and walking around the park for your entire car (around 8 people i believe). The trek around had one steep incline but had greatly placed benches all around the park. Not sure this place would be that fun for younger kids as many of the animals are harder to spot, but my 11 year old enjoyed it.

The zoo was amazing. Do note that it is a small zoo, so if you go, keep that in mind. But the exhibits give you a great view of the animals and the staff are amazing.I did the drive-thru tour where you drive your own car. It was $110 for my car, which at first I thought was a little expensive. But then I learned that includes allowing ALL people in your car to enter the walking part as well.I was very happy and felt it was worth it for the family to enjoy the day at the zoo!

Only visited a couple times, but this second visit we saw a lot of improvements. Compostable options for the cafe would be a great improvement, but we did appreciate the clearly marked trash and recycle bins. The new tram (linked shuttle?) Was comfortable and the guide was very entertaining and informative. On our tour we saw a wide variety of animals including bison, mountain goats, elk, deer, a caribou and more. As a heads-up only water is allowed on the tram, no other food or drink. We'll definitely go again.

I love coming here. It's smaller than Point Defiance, but still has a good amount of animals. There are a lot of beautiful trees, flowers, and other plants.The walkways are mostly shaded, so it doesn't get too hot or risk sun burns.

The $110 entrance fee for the wildlife drive-thru is a good deal if you have a van full (can apply to up to 8 people and also gives access to the walking area. We had 4 in our group). On the guided drive, we saw moose, deer, a swan, big horned sheep, mountain goats, bison, and elk. In the walking area, we saw black and grizzly bears, wolves, foxes and eagles. We spent three hours, but did not have time to see everything (the driving portion was an hour). The kids loved the playground. There are plenty of climbing structures and slides. There is also a chlorinated stream for kids to splash in (bring a change of clothes and water shoes). The food in the cafe was just okay, but there are a lot of picnic areas, so next time we'll bring a picnic.

Theme Parks
Wild Waves Theme and Water Park in Federal Way is a sprawling 70-acre amusement park offering thrill rides, water attractions, and fun for all ages. From the Wild Thing roller coaster to the five-story Zooma Falls water ride, there's something for everyone. The park also features a 24,000 square-foot wave pool and gentle rides for younger visitors. It's a popular destination that has been entertaining locals and visitors since it opened as The Enchanted Village in 1977.
Wild Waves is Always an Amazingly Awesome Place to Visit for Fun!!! People come from everywhere to visit this main state attraction. Half water park/water slides and half regular roller coasters, we made a special tribute to the kids this trip by riding as many kiddie rides as possible! Great fun for all ages. Highly recommend this experience, just make sure you bring extra funds for tubes, locker, parking, and food! 5/5!

Ah Wild waves, the only real amusement park in Washington State. And for a lot of us, a place of childhood nostalgia and youthful memories. It really hasn’t changed much in 20 years. Long lines, overpriced food that you wait 40min to order; impatient customers who trash up the place while the limited teenage staff works tirelessly to clean up. The bathrooms are certainly nicer now, though. I live less than an hour from wild waves, but I remember only coming here on certain occasions and never more than once in a given season. And honestly wild waves is just remarkably….unremarkable. It’s not bad, it’s not great. It checks all the boxes for a theme park, but it ain’t no Disneyland either (but it’s certainly cheaper than Disneyland). It’s a good place for kids to laugh, play, meet others while waiting in line. The Wild Thing was my childhood favorite and remains so; I can never hide my silly ten year old grin while doing the loop and corkscrews. I bought the season pass this year- which, I think is a good deal. It’s impossible to explore everything in a single day and my kids are excited to go back. Hey, if i take a few more spins on the Wild Thing, I can’t complain….

Booville/Fright FestWe came 10/19/24. We had a 3, 4 and 10 year old. I was so irritated about the bag policy because it wasn’t outlined anywhere that’s easy to see on the website. It’s the smallest bag and every single person in line had a diaper bag, backpack, or like us, a tote with extra kids clothing and snacks/drinks. They made us walk all the way back to the car. Thankfully, we had a wagon so we could keep our stuff. Most people couldn’t and there were some pretty upset moms with diapers and wipes that had no other way to carry them. Our 10 year old had a mask on with his costume and he wasn’t allowed to wear it so we had to walk that to the car also. Most of the rides that were open, our 10 year old was too tall to ride and the 3 & 4 year old required an adult, which was fine but the height requirement that allows kids to just go alone is so narrow. Kids 36” and shorter require a parent and kids 42-48” are too tall for the “kid rides”.My 4 year old was so excited to see zombies but we left around 7 pm and didn’t see one scary “monster” so he was disappointed.We were there from 230-7 and the lines were pretty short, even on a Saturday.All in all, worth the money, but check your bags and remember there is no masks or full face of makeup for kids over 48”.There was also no trick or treating and only one person had a bucket of candy.

Nice Christmas atmosphere. Lights and Christmas music. We spent about 20 minutes through the entire light show. We liked it... Highly recommend.

Really fun. I had an incredible time. We got the season passes and it is so worth it, it pays for itself in one visit AND you can bring friends. The lockers and food were a bit much but if you pack light and bring a snack/eat at home and just get a treat it's affordable.We saw one bee the entire time, no issues I can think of. Lines were not bad to non existent and rides were very fun. Maybe 1/5th of them are closed, but more than enough are open to have a great time.Pros:short lines for rideShort line to get inNo beesCheap with season pass1, 2, and 4 person water ridesClean bathrooms and walk waysCrazy kids stay in kid sectionCons:expensive foodexpensive lockerRIDICULOUSLY expensive alcoholLimited to no options for those with dietary restrictions

This was my and my granddaughters first visit to Wild Waved Theme and Water Park. We only rode the dry rides this time. At our visit there were more folks at the water park than the theme park.There is a separate fee for parking in the lot. Credit card only! No cash.You will be screened before being able to purchase tickets.There are more concessions at the main gate and the water park than at the theme park.It took a bit to get oriented. We figured out that we had to walk a good distance to get to the theme park. The pathway to get there was not evident, better way finding is needed.The rides are dispersed over a big area unlike most theme parks. So be sure to head down every pathway as you may miss several rides if you don’t. The was a generous mix of kiddie rides, intermediate and big coaster rides. Overall, you will be able to satisfy all age groups. We primarily rode the intermediate size rides like the Ferris wheel, the kangaroo hop, dodgems, etc. it was plenty to satisfy our adventure. There is an antique merry go round. It looked to be in good condition.We got our fill, enjoyed a theme park lunch, and some treats too.

If you have not heard; Wildwaves is up and running and it is SO fun! The admission (children under 48' is a lower price)I think its price is reasonable, and I believe gets you on all the water slides according to height. The water playground was fun even for adults!

This place Rocks! Cost is $35 for both water park and amusement. We had fun! Food was great! I only wished they were able to accommodate people with wheelchair disabilities. We were ok no one needed modification. Yet there are no water parks who truly are accessible to disabilities as much. This would be cool.

Came here for the opening day of 2023 season. One hour wait to get in to the park and $12 fries were all expected. But non of the employees had any smiles, and information about being a season ticket buyer was lacking. Handing us a wrist band was all. Nothing about where to receive a souvenir cup or even a map. Lots of ride weren't operating for the opening day, specially roller coasters and the wave pool, which we were looking forward. Saw lots of kids by the wave pool trying to put their foot wet, but had this mean sounded staff guarding it yelling it's closed! Get behind the line. No announcements or apology about why it is closed or until when. Closing of these attractions overloaded people to other rides, so wait time was longer.Quality of the rides are good overall and park is very clean. There are things for adults, youth, and little kids to enjoy.I think there is big potential for this park to be excellent and hopefully I can have better experience in my next visits throughout this season. One thing to know is that they don't take cash, so you have to bring cards or they have prepaid card selling machines. But some crane doll picking machines only take cash and no card.

I love wild waves on sunny beautiful day. I'm just so bummed how we pay so much money getting into the park and are expected to stand in line for 40 min or hours at a time. It's painful to have to stand in line for so long. We got to go on 1 water slide. Because it's grueling to have to stand in line to get a 10 sec ride. We still had fun Because we were family talking and enjoying each other. It just would be nice if wild waves could come up with a better system. On top of that there was bird poo all over the stairs and decking. We liked the zip line, although we waited in line for 1 hour and 20 min.

I really enjoy Wild Waves Park for my son and family. We always have a blast. The folks working at the security and at rides are mostly helpful. Especially the little kiddo rides. The park is expensive but if you purchase a season pass and meal plan and go a few times it really pays itself off. Yes, some rides are closed at various points which can be frustrating. Just go in with an open mind and positive vibe and make the best of it! We are new season pass owners and were unable to figure out how things worked. We called Wild Waves and they went out of their way to answer our questions and even came and met us in the park to ensure our meal plans were working. That's good customer service!
Christine L — Google review
They have closed the park early on us and kicked us out once when we were there because "it was too slow". Many times the rides are not working and are broken down for large parts of the day. There are bees everywhere and staff don't do anything about it. Sometimes the lifeguards have double standards. Overall, it's okay. Could be a lot better but I enjoy it and it's very fun. The food is expensive but Excellent quality and delicious!! The season pass is definitely worth every penny. I will come every year on a season pass, but not for a single admission.

We got here at 4pm and we planned to start with the water area. However, to our disappointment, the only things kids under 42” can do are: wave pool, lazy river and hooks lagoon. The hooks lagoon was closed, our kiddo didn’t like the wave pool 🤷♀️, so lazy river it was. We had a couple of fun rides, but only after waiting for 5-10 mins in the queue. By 5:30 we were done with the things that young kiddos are allowed to do in the water park. We were almost about to pack and leave when we decided to give a try to the adventure park (be advised you need shoes, pants and shirt … so don’t leave your pants in the car as I did). Ohhh man what a nice surprise we had. There are about 10 different things kids under 42” can do (alone or next to an adult). There are more than 10 places, but about 6 were closed (enchanted railway, wagon train, dodg’ems bumper cars, kiddie boats, ferries wheel). Nevertheless we had a full schedule from 5:30 till 8:05 when we had our last ride.There are lots of employees to guide you (if you need help), there was plenty of paid parking available (of course … not close to the entry).My 4* rating is because:- bathrooms are quite dirty- water park is somehow a disappointment if you are coming with very young toddlers- it would be nice to know if advance what are the activities closed, so that you don’t walk / carry your kid just to see a closed thing.As fyi: parking cost $17-20 per day (unless you have seasonal pass), lockers cost between $16 to $27 depending on locker size.We have season pass, so we will surely be back for more fun in the adventure area!

I am a season ticket holder. I get one for me and my daughter every year as it is a great deal. Honestly, if you plan on going more then once then its a no brainer to get a season pass.Waterpark - There is plenty here to do for water play. There is a huge wave pool with cabanas for rent around it, lazy river, kid zone water area with mini slides, and multiple areas with water sides. On warm summer days expect long lines for the water slides. They do have white lounge chairs setup around pool areas though you will want to get there early to get a seat. Everytime I took my daughter and her friends there was always multiple life guards watching over pool areas and I feel they do a good job. This is a good place to bring the kids or friends/family to cool off on warm summer days.Park Rides - This is the frustrating part. There is a decent amount of attractions here. Two big coasters and a variety of other rides for everyones liking. The issue I have is that there is always....always alot of rides that are not running which is disappointing because on some days its the ones you were wanting to ride. Example is the timber hawk ride, I think I actually seen that ride running twice out of the countless times I have went. Not sure if this is due to staffing or maintenance but it should be looked into and figured out. Being a season ticket holder I feel as though I am not ever able to get the full experience or value due to this issue. The wait times and lines are not too bad for the rides on some days.Housekeeping - No complaints here. The park is pretty well kept and bathrooms have not been horrible the times I have been there.Food - Food is pricey but that is to be expected when eating at any theme park. You get a good deal on drink refills when you get a wild waves big bottle. I suggest you bring a water bottle with you and eat before you go or bring your own snacks.Staff - The staff is primarily a bunch of younger kids/teens probably first jobs or just summer jobs. Some do well working the rides they are tasked to operate while others dont take control and call people out for not following rules, cutting lines etc.Season Pass - Great value though I do want to point out that when it states it includes 2 friend/family passes that is mainly for weekdays. My daughter brought her friend with her on a Saturday and I had to end up paying 42 bucks for her as the friend/family pass didnt cover weekends and that is not clearly outlined on the website. Just a heads up so you can avoid that frustration.Its nice to have a local theme park to visit for rides or the water park. Not the best but its still a good time with plenty to do. I would still recommend to go and experience it.

Our employer rented out the park for the day and we had about 2,500 people there and it was great. Kids had fun. Place was clean and lots of staff to help with everything.Cabana's cost 350.00 for the day (only 4 people allowed, $25 for each additional person) which was to rich for my blood.Food was decent but not great. Rides and Slides were the best.

I expected the water to be warmer in the wave pool this last weekend. Was disappointed the activity pool was closed and the raging river, but I'd guess because the water is still pretty cold and not heated to 70*. Also noticed the activity pool hot tub looks like a pond now and no longer a hot tub. This made me a little sad.It would have been nice to have the eateries reader boards to have the correct pricing and not still showing opening day pricing a week later. The displayed price is what should have been due. It's hard on your employees to have to explain to every guest that is not the correct pricing. It is not their fault and they are the ones who get flack for it. Hope that is corrected this week for the staffs well being.All in all it's an old water and theme park. They try to keep things up to date and it's still fun.

It's a fun place to take the kids, make sure you get the pass for the year because it is a way better option than paying the $60+ each visit. A few rides have been down do to either damage or staffing. I really hope that next year, 2025 they have all rides operating.

Fun place to come if you have a season pass. A little expensive for what you get if you just buy a single day pass. This place seems to be lacking rides. Lots of empty spots where rides use to be. Many rides currently are not open as they say they are understaffed. We haven't seen the log ride open yet, gold miners coaster, or the pirate ship operating.The water park is pretty fun and if you go on a gloomy day, there's little to no lines.I think the rules for the lazy river changed as we got booted out after floating it just one time around 😞.Food is over priced as expected and isn't all that great either. Although the icecream was expensive, it was GOOD!My kiddos also said the pretzels with cheese weren't to bad.Beware the food lines can be ridiculous. We recently spent 35 minutes waiting in line for a corn dog and I promise, the corn dog isn't worth the wait.This place is handicapped accessible but note there's lots of hills to walk up and down so just be prepared if you're disabled. I noticed rides did have elevators for those unable to do stairs.Seating in the water park area is also very limited if you don't arrive right at opening. It may be worth it to pack in some camping chairs and a beach towel to lay on in the grass.

Always a good time at wild waves. The lines can be a little long but worth it for the most part. The wave pool is awesome. I recommend buying online tickets and paying for parking. You can exit the park if needed and re enter with a wrist band. The enchanted village was ok however a few of the rides were not operating possibly for maintenance.

The water slides are incredible! Super fast going down! Yellow roller coaster is was fun. Very spacious. Great place to visit several times with friends and the kids.Several rides were closed off due to repairs etc,. Wait time for rides if you are at the bottom of stairs is about 20min, which is not bad, it gives you the chance to enjoy some good views from up high. Very relaxing. If you have your mind set on relaxation and fun, this is the place to go. 👍

Had a great time! Lines were long but the wait time was quick. The only complaint I’d have is regarding our VIP Rooftop cabana. I paid over $600 for the VIP cabana with the meals included. When the attendant brought our meals for a group of 8, she didn’t bring our drinks or condiments. When I asked when we’d get those, as eating a hotdog/burgers/fries without ketchup and drinks is not enjoyable, she said she’d be right back. She did not return for 20 minutes with our drinks or condiments. Our food was cold and my kids just ate theirs without the drinks/condiments. It was a small cramp in a great day but should be fixed for others going forward. Otherwise had a great time!

Showing its age and they allow too many people to enter. You are only able to go on maybe 4 or 5 slides just due to having to wait in line for so long. Food is too expensive and prep areas look dirty. Bathrooms were dirty. There are wasps everywhere. It's just a cash grab by the owners it seems but what isn't these days. Just not worth it for us.

Update August 2022: Such a great place to take the kids. So much fun for a variety of ages! I am so grateful for this place to be open. Some rides are closed probably due to staffing but hey there is still so much to do. Sometimes the ride lines are long but they go pretty fast.Original July 2021:Busy busy busy place. Still very fun! Most of the rides for the older kids were down so that was disappointing, I'm sure it was due to staffing so I did not mark down for that. Food was great, arcade was fun. Water park side was too crowded to visit this time .
Hello — Google review
Mixed experience at this place.Do & Don'ts & need to knows.We are season pass holders.If you plan on going more then once, a season pass is the way to go.Best to get it online at the beginning of the season, it's a better deal (Includs parking $20 per day).Go early or late this place can be insanely busy on hot days.Plan on getting wet!Bring a towel.The wave pool and hot tub shuts down each hour forn10-15 mins.The Hot tub is not hot, it's just a mini pool.Bring food and drinks everything here is marked up 300 to 500%Some items run out towards the end of the day.Lockers are $12-$24 per day.My 3 y.o. Son loves this place.👍Little kids win a prize everytime at the stuffed animal /skill shot area.NOTE: He can't ride half the rides, due to height.Seveal rides aren't even running, was told it was due to help shortage.A few areas / rides completely shut down and dilapidated.They are strict on safefy there, Understandably.This place seems like a good place to drop teens off and let them do their thing. Seems safe.Bring sunscreen it can be tough to find shade.Bring camp chairs, seats can be hard to find.Cabanas are like $300, yikes! A hotel at the beach with a pool and hot tub is $150.I'm not excited to see 2-4 police cars there daily (all day) gross misuse of tax dollars.I seen 1 mild altercation there and was told there was a major issue 3 years ago.The place get dirty.. I'm not blaming the staff, I see them cleaning up.This place like any other with mass people you will run into many careless, pushy and oblivious people.There are nice people too, I do enjoy the mix of culture and chatting with people from near and far.1 staff member was covering 2 areas due to the other being dizzy.Seen them trying to eat quickly, I said we could wait. They helped us right away anyway.They get 30 mins to eat but it takes 30 mins to get food often.Management should suggest bringing your lunch or have employee lines.Seen this kid several times and is probably the nicest of all the staff I've met.Conclusion:I maybe somewhat bias since I rather goto the lake, river or ocean.I enjoy nature and it's free or less expensive and generally not so crowded (although many things are becoming more and more crowded).The experience for my son is the best part.His mother rather be at this type of place too.Personally it's expensive and not very relaxing.I haven't been on any of the bigger rides since primarily there for my kiddo.

Nice park with water rides, normal rides. Catering to toddlers to adults you'll have something you'll enjoy.Make sure you are getting change of clothes, water bottles and towels. You can't bring your food. However parking is pretty near but so you can just walk and eat your food in parking lot. Reach early else it will be crowded. There are limited changing room so there would be queue. Plan accordingly.Some rides were not working probably because we went on second last day of season closure.Overall good fun with kids.

Family of 6 had a good time. Weekdays are definitely the days to go. Lazy river was a hit but a bit cold. The wave pool of course was enjoyed by all ages and the kids rode all day. Wish it was open a bit later and also wish you could bring food in. Flip flops or water shoes are a must!

I used to bring my niece here every few years, but the increasing costs have led us to visit Silverwood more frequently. They offer a wider variety of rides and attractions. Unfortunately, I've found that this park lacks sufficient lounge chairs, even on weekdays when I arrive a couple of hours after opening. I often bring a blanket and towel to lay down on the grass. Cleanliness has been an issue, with messy bathrooms and dirty food areas. On the positive side, it's conveniently located for day trips and provides plenty of options for young kids. If you're looking to keep your children entertained during the summer months, this place can be a decent option.

Went today with my fiance and our friends. Had an absolute blast. Yes, there were long lines, but that is to be expected. We were able to do everything we wanted to do except the lazy river even though they did have rides closed, which sucked but it is what it is. The wave pool waves were small? I remember them being significantly bigger, so that was disappointing. Also, yes, the food is expensive as hell, but what do you expect? It's an amusement park, its always like that. Still had a great time. I recommend getting there as soon as it opens so you can have all the time to do everything you want to do. Renting a locker is the best option, too, so you don't have to worry about your belongings. I'd still come back though and will come back in the future.

I’m local and have never been to Wild Waves but I’m not sad I was missing out on anything all these years. 6 major attraction rides were closed that I saw, there could have been more but we didn’t walk the entire park. The park is not well kept, signs, buildings and walkways are falling apart, many of the rides don’t look well maintained and there is trash everywhere. They didn’t have toilet seat covers in the bathrooms. Half the food stands weren’t even open and the places that were open had food that was VERY expensive and not great quality. Some of the walkways are super steep making it challenging to push a heavy stroller with kids and all your stuff. This place has so much real estate and potential, they could have lodging here and make it a 5 star destination but instead they are operating at a 2 star level. I’m disappointed I didn’t read the reviews before coming, I won’t be back here with my family. Ending on a good note, the staff were knowledgeable, helpful and attentive. They have many shaded seating areas throughout the park. The line to get in the park was short and we quickly passed through.

Wild Waves is fun, but there are a few things frustrating or concerning. We pay a lot of money to bring our grandkids there, and we think we should be able to have some places to sit and watch them on the amusement rides. There are lots of chairs over by the wave pool, and there are picnic tables and benches near the food vendors, but no benches near the water slides or dry rides, which would be really nice.The biggest complaint is the food...especially the exorbitant prices of it! Bringing food in is prohibited, and everything inside is basically very high priced, fried food. With all the activity during the day, kids want to not only eat lunch, but also eat again near the end of the day.On the positive side, you can bring in empty water bottles, and there are refilling stations around. So stop at the dollar store and pick up some water bottles instead of of paying quadruple prices for one inside.And buying tickets in advance saves money, even with the hefty "convenience fee" slapped on!It's worth bringing your own healthy picnic lunch in a cooler and exiting for awhile (get a hand stamp) and then coming back in. It will taste better and save a lot of money!The lifeguards are well-trained and do their jobs very conscientiously.There are notes on the website about apparel...i.e. bathing suits are supposed to be appropriate: "Proper swimwear is requiredat ALL water attractions. Thong or G-String type swimwear is not allowed."However, each time I have gone, there have been several thong wearers. How could this policy be enforced?I have also been surprised that children well under the 48" height required on the Scrambler and the roller Coast were allowed in with their parents.I also wish the choice of songs and music videos played on the huge screen at the front of the wave pool would be 100% PG or at least PG-13. It still would be fun for everyone. Having KISS videos feels very distasteful to me.With a couple of improvements, this place could definitely earn a five-star rating from me.

It gets busy. Be ready for long lines, go with the flow and it’ll be fun. We pack a lunch in the car as you may NOT bring in food. (Food is expensive, but it is pretty good!) Don’t hog the chairs! 😉 It can be hard to find one. We can spend less here ALL Summer than one day at the Puyallup fair. This is the place for rides. Pay to get in and ride everything free once you’re in. (there was one ride I had to pay for it was a chair that zip line across the park.)

The Puget Sound Navy Museum is an exceptional historical site showcasing the region's naval history, with exhibits that focus on life aboard submarines and aircraft carriers. Located near the ferry terminal, admission to this museum is free. Visitors can explore the establishment of the shipyard dating back to the 1890s and contemporary world events. The staff are welcoming and friendly, enhancing visitors' experiences.
Great place! A lot of cool things to see. The gift shop was disappointing, unfortunately. The cashier had no idea how much the stuff in the store was :/ I had to show her where the things I wanted to buy were.

I've been to plenty of military themed museums, they've all been great. This one was just OK. We were really expecting much more, esp considering how big the building is. The USS Enterprise exhibit was decent, but again just expecting more. Other than a hat, there was nothing in the gift shop highlighting this museum. No PSNM stuff anywhere.

Not an overwhelming museum, but there are lots of nice displays on Naval History and the role of the Bremerton shipyard. Friendly, helpful staff, and it’s FREE or by voluntary donations. It’s also a short, easy walk to the USS Turner Joy, a US Navy destroyer ship that was part of the Gulf of Tonkin incident in Vietnam, August 4, 1964. We are planning a group visit in June for our antique British car club.

Naval History , Artifacts, Displays , and recent information about USS John Stennis and the USS Nimitz housed In a beautiful building nestled near the Ferry Terminal and bordering the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. I served aboard the Nimitz and was pleasantly surprised to see so much about her history and how it intwines with the history of Bremerton and the ship yard. The staff were perfect . The visit was worth the long trip from Huntsville Alabama .

This place was really neat! It was so much bigger than I thought it would be. The gentlemen at the front entrance gave us an overview of what there was to see inside the museum and some of the highlights. They also mentioned that there was a plant seed give-a-way going on that we might want to check out. There was just so much to read about and such a great display of pictures, diagrams, actual pieces of ships, models, movies, and recordings of history. I really enjoyed our visit and picked up some plant seeds to start a garden. What a bonus. Their gift shop was super cool too and had a lot of fun and interesting things to buy. The prices were very reasonable and the guy who was running the store was so funny and friendly and had some great stories. I learned so much during this trip and I am glad I went. It is very family friendly and people of any age would find something interesting here. I would highly recommend it.

Lots of interesting reading about history of the navy in the exhibits. The museum is quite small - a two-floor house - but well packed with content. Right next to ferry terminal if you are coming on foot.

This FREE museum (donations accepted and encouraged), is right next to the Bremerton Ferry Terminal and surrounded by the amazing Fountain Park (with “exploding” or “erupting” fountains in multiple wading pools. It has 2 floors of exhibits and is staffed by retired navy vets. There are lots of exhibits on the history of the shipyard especially during the world wars. It also has an exhibit on the future potential of 3D printers uses on ships at sea. There is a small children’s area on the first floor where kids can play. Many of the exhibits are photographs or equipment behind glass so it may not be super fun for little ones (except the play area). If you are waiting for the ferry between 10am-4pm you can easily squeeze this in in about 30-45 minutes.

Pretty cool free museum. A lot of pride with their displays and knowledgable volunteers. The sub and aircraft displays are very insightful. The park area behind the museum is also nice and peaceful and a nice place to take in the water.

Actually better than i was expecting. I served on an aircraft carrier that was stationed in Bremerton. Getting to show my family the actual rack layout and how it was clinging to get into and out was enjoyable. Very friendly staff. I really enjoyed the exhibits.

Visited the Naval museum since i had some free time while working in the area and always passed it by on the way to work. Located right by the Bremerton Ferry Terminal and the Puget Sound Shipyard gate.Free admission, once I stepped inside the volunteer greeted me with a warm welcome on a wet and cold morning👍 After a short questionare, i was free to roam the museum and check out the history of one of the oldest shipyards, PSNS.Lots of exhibits and memorabilia to look at, spent around 40 minutes since its 2 stories of history. If you have time waiting for the ferry or in the Bremerton area, its worth checking out 👍👍**there is no parking for this museum but there are lots of free street parking or paid parking in the area.

Free museum. Nice layout and well-curated exhibits on the histories of the Bremerton shipyard and US Navy service.

This is an official US Navy Museum, free admission, located just outside the main gate to Puget Sound Naval Shipyard on the Bremerton waterfront. There is not parking nearby - you'll have to find a street spot up the road and walk down. Be conscious of the time limits for your parking, this museum can take a couple hours to work through and most of the parking is 2 hours max. Beware also that trying to drive down to the museum directly can easily result in ending up at the guard shack for the ferry - if that happens, just tell the guard you're there for the museum and they'll let you turn around. But you'll have to wait in line until you reach the shack... so just avoid it in the first place and do NOT continue on the road that passes the museum.Now, as far as the museum, it's ok. I have been three times and it's more interesting each time, but it still feels underwhelming compared to other navy museums like the undersea one in Keyport and the national one in DC, or the submarine force museum in Groton. There's plenty here to teach you about the shipyard itself, but not really that much on the navy... it's heavily local focused. There's also WAY too much reliance on text and photos, instead of primary artifacts. Some exhibits are literally just walls with works painted on them. That, to me, is unacceptable. The artifacts the museum has on display are, frankly, pretty boring too. Wooden patterns for chains and nuts and other assorted ship fittings, some helmets, some obscure and mundane snips, wedges, and other tools, a time clock, some signs, etc. The most interesting items are the bell from the Navy's first ammunition ship, USS Pyro, and the skylight from the old gunboat Nipsic that survived the Apra Harbor disaster and went on to be PSNY's original headquarters during construction of buildings ashore. I was EXTREMELY disappointed that there was nothing - not a single piece - of the famous battleship USS Washington on display anymore. The museum tells me the wheel and bell from that ship are in storage to go back to DC, which is stupid, since the namesake is the state of Washington. The only USS Seattle they have anything from is the Cold War-era replenishment ship, so nothing from the famous armored cruiser that served as the US fleet flagship in the 1920s and survived longer than any other ship of her type. Hugely missed opportunity. I understand the museum is going for interactivity, but the result of such a lack of artifacts is that many of the rooms feel empty other than the paint on the walls, and some of the exhibits just don't flow because they're all vertical-space. I continue to be disappointed in this place for this exact reason. The best exhibit overall is the Nimitz-class carrier exhibit upstairs, which definitely represents the features of that kind of ship well, and is informative and full of items from the John C. Stennis (CVN-74). The patrol boats exhibit, while interesting to read, is another huge miss when it comes to artifacts. A couple models, a boxed game, a couple badges, and a builder's plaque is all they could really muster here... meanwhile two of the ships shown in pictures on the wall were laying around like so much junk just three hours southwest in Astoria, Oregon. Sad they couldn't get some actual artifacts to support the exhibit.Overall, it's still an informative museum and is well maintained, so I can't consciously give it less than three stars. But I was definitely disappointed at the lack of actual navy items on display for being a navy museum. It just feels incoherent and empty unless you're either a/ totally unaware of anything navy and this is your first exposure to the topic or b/ really, really interested in the shipyard.

Nice museum we visited on a rainy afternoon. We arrived about 45 minutes before close. There were two floors of exhibits of which one talked about the town history and the shipyard which made it what it was. The other talked about the different ships it built and how each one was important to the war and what it did. Staff was quite helpful and informative. We were through the museum in 45 minutes.

Updated 05/20/23: I had a great chance to visit the museum again. The senior citizens up front are super helpful and amazing. They have locker rooms for your bags, and backpacks in front. I love coming back and back to this historical museum to re-learn about our awesome memorial history.This museum is above what I expected as a historical location. I had a lot of fun and an exciting journey to learn and discover sailors’ life and the establishment of the shipyard in the 1890s and contemporary world. There is no admission fee to enter, and its location is close to the ferry terminal. Everyone can check it out quickly when waiting for the ferry. I have been here two times and still feel great not only the museum’s contents but also the staff’s hospitality and friendliness.

The USS Turner Joy, a naval destroyer that served in the Pacific and is now a museum open to the public, offers a self-guided tour for visitors to explore. The tour allows ample time for individuals to discover the vessel's intricate engineering and learn about its historical significance. The museum showcases the sacrifices made by military forces in defending freedom while highlighting the sobering reality of life on board.
I was fortunate to get a compelling verbal brief of the Turner Joy's role in history. It was an interesting tour and well worth your time. I enjoyed learning about shipboard life and seeing how crowded conditions were.

This museum is pretty cool! So wonderful to explore the ship and get to see what it looks like. I love the fact it is right next to the Water taxi dock. The gift shop is cute. Looks at hats and t-shirt options. The entry fee seems pretty reasonable. Note, any charge via cc there will be a fee. Is better to be paying with cash. They do offer a discount for seniors and youth. The ship is 418 feet and she retired in November of 1982. I think is worth the money to tour this one.

Great experience, you can easily spend 2-3 hours on the self guided tour. Staff that we saw were very informative and gave us great insight into other aspects of ship life. 10/10

The self-guided tour gives you plenty of time to explore the open areas on your own time, which is good because there is enough to learn and see to spend hours and hours here! We enjoyed the history, intricate engineering, and sobering reality of the comforts our forces leave behind to defend freedom. Highly recommend!

We had a great experience here. There was very few people there, which made it comfortable moving about tight quarters without getting into peoples' space. The volunteers were so kind and encouraged us to ask questions. There were bottles of hand sanitizer scattered throughout. There were also bathrooms onboard, which was great. The air is dry and musky, so if you're prone to nosebleeds, bring tissues, and bring a jacket as it is cooler below deck. Great experience!

Amazing! Tour is self guided although there are some very knowledgeable veterans on the ship to help guide you and give you information. Lots of stairs so be aware in advance

Great experience. Little difficult for young kids and elderly with the ladders going to each level of the ship. It’s an amazing attraction and the staff are very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

This ship is incredible! I'm sure it only begins to shed light on what it would be like to have been a sailor on board, but it was a total eye opener for me. I have so much respect for those who served and lived aboard this ship. It's huge, kind of a maze, which only added to the experience! There's so much to explore and interact with. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to see it all.
Nicholas B — Google review
What a cool experience! This destroyer has some neat history tied to the US involvement in the Vietnam War, and it's well worth a visit!You get a self-guided tour of nearly the whole ship with signs explaining much of what you are seeing and experiencing. Do know this is not a quick stop, and to get the most out of the visit, you will need to be able to climb up and down narrow ladders and stairs. On the day we visited, we were a former crew member volunteering in the galley, answering questions, and talking about his experience on the ship - Doug was great!The POW section with its stories was an appreciated addition, and I found it fascinating.It can get pretty spendy for the whole family but one thing is that your tickets are good for the whole day. So we did half of the ship and then left and got lunch and then came back and finished. That was a great way to do it, and it kept the kids from being overdone.Highly recommend, especially if you are interested in US History, the US Navy, and/or the Vietnam War.

Love it! You can really explore, and they made improvements to help the experience. The exhibit on the prisoners' experience in Vietnam is very interesting. There is parking nearby. We parked in the multi-story lot. There is also a small shack on the dock with snacks if you are hungry.

There is so much history floating in the marina it’s impossible to absorb it all at one time.I was visiting Seattle when I came across a small footnote about the USS Turner Joy and I knew I wanted to visit. It required an amazing hour long ferry ride in each direction but it was totally worth the effort.It was incredible how much of the ship was open and available to the public. The self guided tour was so informative and interesting. I found it fun to go up and down the ladders to the various decks, to learn about the different stations and roles on the ship. I’m sure it was a different experience for the men serving on the ship but it was a lot of fun to learn the history in such a unique way.
Stephen O — Google review
Fascinating self guided walking tour of this ship. It's amazing that people lived and worked in these cramped spaces for months at a time. The tour is physically intense for people who aren't in the best shape and for small kids. So many stairs...I recommend taking this tour to anyone interested in somewhat recent US military history.

Took a tour of the USS Turner Joy this afternoon, and what a delight.My father served in the air force and has gotten to tour a few navy ships, but nothing like the Turner Joy! He was completely enthralled, and the docents were excellent about explaining the functions of the ship.It was a huge ship, so definitely plan to take your time, but it was so interesting to see a ship this big. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in town!
Beth A — Google review
Great place if you want to learn about the battleship and don't mind small spaces but the space on the ship is often very small so some might feel trapped. Also it's a must that you wear comfortable clothes to move around in, since the ship has 5 floors but the stairs are very steep and narrow. But overall a great experience!
Olesya S — Google review
If you're a Naval history buff this is probably fascinating. But as a civilian without a particular interest, I found it disappointing. Though there is information posted throughout the ship about things like semaphore and machinery, they're pretty dry. Something like a through line describing the daily life of a crewman or an officer would be a lot more fun for the average visitor. Also, in order to reach most ship levels it's necessary to go up very steep stair/ladders, and there are no alternatives, so it's definitely not accessible for those with mobility issues. For the price ($18 per ticket for adults) it's not well curated or in great shape, unfortunately.
Thorn M — Google review
Self guided tours or with volunteer guides. The placards explain the different equipment, so for people unfamiliar with themachinery can understandthe uses.As a retired Navy man of 25 years, mostly on destroyers (tin cans), memories came flooding back.Be aware that with traversing the ship, steep ladders are throughout. For those of us who may have mobility issues, would find it difficult to get around the ship.You can make the ship's horn blast, by pulling the rope on the bridge (wheel house).Official announcementsare made over the ship's speaker system (1-MC).The announcements are the same as when the ship was active! It was amazing to me to hear, "Sweepers, sweepers man your brooms, give the ship a clean sweep down fore & aft...".The gift shop is very well stocked, with reasonable prices. A wide range of items and prices, so that no matter the budget you'll walk away with a souvenirfrom the Turner Joy (DD-951).I was aboard the USS Black (DD-666), after the attack on the USS Maddox & USS Turner Joy, the Black was their relief in the Tonkin Gulf.Fair Winds and Following Seas, Your Shipmate.

Tickets for adults - $18. It was truly a new experience for me to step inside a ship that had been through the Vietnam War and been to Russia as well. The rustic smell inside can be uncomfortable but the history was amazing to learn about. The bunk beds were small and I still cannot believe the max occupancy of this ship is 275!Highly recommend for explorers out there!

Wife and I spent a little over an hour here whilst vacationing in the Tacoma-area. Did not get to see all the rooms available to the public, but got through most of it. It is a very well done museum with lots of nice nuanced touches. Had two different docents who were knowledgeable and friendly. The ladders/stairs take a little getting used to, but they were not too hard to utilize.

This is so cool! It's a self-guided tour of a good-sized naval ship. You get to learn about how the ship operated, how the crew survived, and some of the ships history in combat. Definitely worth taking the time of day to do this tour!
Collin S — Google review
TL;DR If you're a history nerd or a naval nerd, check it out.This is a self guided tour of the Naval Destroyer class ship, USS Turner Joy. The tour can go as long or as short as you want, but I took about 1.5 - 2 hours to get through the whole thing, and I took my time. The ship itself has an incredible amount of history that is laid out well within each station. It is not friendly to anyone with mobility issues if you plan to explore anything beyond the main deck level. Additionally, there are no water fountains, and only one bathroom onboard, so go before you embark. Internally, there are a lot of unique things in this ship, like how it was both the first and last ship to engage enemies in Vietnam, and lots more that you'll learn as you wander the internal labyrinth packed with information. The USS Turner Joy is a great way to spend a morning or afternoon.

This was the first time I've been on a Naval ship. I had no idea what to expect. The gift shop attendants where we purchased tickets from at 4:15 didn't say a word to us when we walked in. They just stared as if they were making sure our kids didn't pocket something from the shelves. My family explored using the self guided tour. We were told the ship closes at 5. We watched a video on the galley that finished at 4:50. As we continued our tour, we noticed most of the lights were off and many of the doors were closed at 4:52. An employee saw us and told us to move along this way as he pushed us to the exit. At 4:59 we were off the boat and the gift shop was locked. We had to figure out how to exit, as all exit signs pointed to the gift shop. Paying almost $80 with only 45 minutes to explore, we wanted to use all our time. They should not have closed early and rushed us out.Cool ship, unfriendly employees. Worth the price, if you have 2 hours of time. They close earlier than posted.

It was fascinating seeing this piece of history. There were a lot of up and downs tiny steep ladders, wouldn't recommend for anyone claustrophobic. I liked how they described the different roles everyone played and all the rooms.

The resort boasts over 3,000 games including table and video gaming, making it one of the best casinos in the state. Visitors can also enjoy a vibrant nightlife at the dance club and savor diverse culinary experiences at several restaurants on-site. The venue is known for hosting large events with professional staff and excellent event planners who ensure flawless execution.
Outstanding experience. My group just held a large event there. The venue is beautiful and spacious, event staff was professional and proactive, the event planners were excellent, and the menu was outstanding. The event planners fulfilled all of our most important requests and made a huge event work flawlessly. The chef has reason to boast, this wasn't the usual "mediocre cold food but it's okay, we're too drunk to taste it" event. The menu was consistent from the first taste test to the event. Wonderful.All attendees agreed that this was the best event we've ever held, and the venue was the largest part of that. Five stars, well earned.

Food was great, we went there for a work conference. Both food at restaurants and catered options were above what I anticipated and would recommend. Rooms were very comfortable and updated however the insulation in the walls of the bathrooms were lacking as you could hear through the exterior walls into the room adjacent and hallway.Hated the casino. They only allowed entry if you should ID, 90% of the casino are video slots. I played black jack for an hour with 2 dealers. The first wouldn't listen to basic hand gestures when I was up almost 2x my money and hit when I said stay and stayed when I said to hit. Pit bosses must've taken notice because after the third time this happened they swapped dealers to one far more professional. When they swapped the first dealer back in I took my chips and cashed out. Casino gets a 1 star review for me, but the food and hotel rooms makeup to a final 3 star review.Also, alcoholic drinks were appropriately priced. All staff members we encountered (sans the first dealer), were polite, professional, and respectful.We will not be returning.

Very clean casino. Loved their restaurant, oue server, Deborah, was excellent, always there checking on us and so friendly. All the food was excellent, I loved my shrimp and crab Louie salad. My husband loved his shrimp and grits. The other 3 people with us enjoyed their food also. The restaurant was so clean and pretty looking. One of the best margaritas I have had. UPDATE JUNE 18TH 2023. Great food as always, went for Father's Day, up to 2:00pm you could get breakfast or lunch, then lunch only after 2:00pm so half our party had breakfast and half lunch. Deborah, our server, was excellent as always.

It's a casino. On a Friday night there is a lot going on. It's smoky. I went to see a friend's band play there. I had fun. The staff I interacted with were friendly and helpful. I didn't drink or gamble, but some of my friends did. Everyone had a great time. Three stars because it's a smoky casino where people lose money. If that's your jam then it's probably 4 or even 5 stars. Oh, the bathrooms were pretty clean. It's not like some places where it looks like a Sasquatch has been through there. They even have one of those smiley face button machines to ask you how clean you think the bathroom is. So if you want to push buttons on something and not lose money, they have that for you.

The new resort is beautiful with sleek, modern finishes and touches. While my friends and most of the guests used their comps since they frequent the casino as reward members, I decided to get a room to spurge on myself for my birthday. The luxury king was spacious and beautiful and the bed was super comfy. The shower was wonderful with the multi head sprays and large. Most of the staff I encountered were lovely, welcoming and friendly. The room did not have bath robes as advertised and the pool and spa were not opened yet at the time of my visit, I believe it was still their "soft" opening. I had to deduct a star for housekeeping knocking and trying to open my door at 9:30am after I told the woman I was still in the room and not ready to go yet, she said she would come back later. Later turned out to be at 10:10am when she knocked again. I totally understand that things are new, and they may be still learning the routine, but that was really not cool. I also had the "Do Not Disturb" button pushed so that it would indicate this on the door. I guess that went ignored too. Upon check-out I did make the front desk staff aware about this and while very nice and apologetic and even offering me a 15% off I never received it when I checked my credit card charge. I also never got my guest folio upon check-out as promised. I hope guest relations reads this review and gives feedback to the necessary staff to make a smoother process for future guests. I will definitely wait a few months before I come back, hopefully the next time is excellent. Otherwise the casino has plenty of games and dining options which we enjoyed. Big shout out to Ry at Restaurant 8 for taking good care of us at dinner. We loved the food and his hospitality.

I didn't stay in a room, just a quick gamble and eat day trip. But it was a great experience either way with slots all over and all types to enjoy with plenty of workers to help with situations. With excellent food at fair pricing made the day all the more worthwhile.Now that doesn't mean their weren't issues, many of the touch screens on the slot machine and even the atm machines. Luckily as mentioned their staff was there when needed, but nonetheless many touch screens are wonky and need a careful touch or they'll remain an unmoving screen.All in all great time great food and great personnel. (Again just a day trip)

Whole place smells like cigarettes, the room is cool, the beds a very uncomfortable and my biggest issue was the stupid id check you do everytime you exit and enter the building.

The last month has been a blast at Muckleshoot Casino. I have had great wins and also have giving some back I’ve won more this last month then ever. Thanks for being open 24hrs I like having something to do on the nights I can’t sleep. Some photos of a handful of wins this month.

Great experience overall! We came on a Saturday for a friend’s birthday so parking was INSANE & it’s pretty evident the bicyclists parking enforcement reps don’t talk to each other so parking was my only frustration during our stay, but once inside the resort it was top notch! The hotel staff is very accommodating Lana & Jasmine at the front desk were AMAZING! Wiling to help and gave great energy! I will definitely be coming here again!

11/18/2021The casino is under construction. So the parking lot is a small lot. The walkway from the lot to the casino entrance is confusing too. There are more games in the smoking section and the restrooms are very clean. No wins for my first time visiting. There are several self self beverage stations with soda and coffee. I had some Chinese food in the food hall. It was just ok.

I heard this is the biggest casino in WA. but nothing special, mediocre. Many slot machines but pretty much the same things everywhere. We had dinner in a restaurant and there was no tax charged which was great because the meal price wasn’t that cheap compared to other casinos.But the customers service and staff were nice.

This is our 2nd time coming out here. This time we ate at their asian restaurant called 8. Wow, the food was really good. Very good selection of Asian cuisine and sushi. We ordered a cup of egg flower soup, cucumber namasu, honey walnut shrimp, and tonkotsu. Afterwards, we played for a while. Over all, we love this casino and the atmosphere.

I come here for the food, they have reasonably priced food. They have an amazing ice cream shop. Can't tell you much about the other parts of the Casino. They do give you complimentary drinks(soda for me). They have a frequent players thing you can sign up for and receive gifts and free play money on your frequent player card. They have giveaways and so much more. Children can go to the ice cream shop or the deli, but have to stay on a designated path.

First time visiting this venue and skipped the casino and went to experience the wonderful tones and tunes of ZZ Top.

I travelled here from Calgary, Alberta (approx 12 hours of driving) and had a decent experience but I was shorted on a few things.The resort is beautiful, and the rooms are very nice. I was on the 14th floor and had a decent view. I did not have a Pendleton blanket on my bed as they advertise in every room and was slightly disappointed. I was also surprised to find out that amenities such as the pool and spa were not ready yet. The room was very expensive in my mind for such limited amenities. Check-in was fairly quick and I was lucky there was a room ready for me as there was a lineup of people waiting for a clean room at about 5:30pm which is 90 minutes after the check-in time.Drink service in the casino was decent however I could not get a drink after 1:30am and I was told that they served until 2:00am so there were several of us who got turned around at the main bar without warning.The bath robes in the room are super comfortable and the bathroom + shower were the best part of the room.When I departed Sunday morning, it was about a 30-40 minute wait to get my car in valet service as the lineup was extremely long and very limited staff.I would probably return here once the construction is complete and some of the kinks are ironed out. For now it’s 4/5 stars with some room for improvement.

Always have a great time here. Love that they have a huge smoking section and tons of beverages stations for self serve drinks so you don’t have to wander far looking. I’ve even won a jackpot there, and I never do that haha Looking forward to checking out the hotel one of these days.

I stayed here for a work event, overall the place is really nice, put together and clean. The games were fun and paid out enough to play all night. The worst part though was there was an awful buzzing in my room so bad I could hear it through ear plugs. I thought I would be able to sleep through it and ended up awake all night from it.

We stayed in one of their one bedroom suites. Very high end. The bathroom was huge and had a television above the bathtub. The room was well thought out and very elegant. Would definitely stay again. Star was friendly and accommodating.

Huge gaming areas. Too big, actually. If you are handicapped and you will never be able to see it all! It is crowded here and there is no room to navigate a wheelchair. The spaces in-between machines are too narrow.High and low costs to play, but no wins here. The addition of rooms made it feel as if the property was lost. Shouldn't it be in Las Vegas? The staff did their best to be helpful, but did not work together, nor did they communicate with each other. Won't be back. 1 hour wait for staff to find my id. They concierge held it in exchange for a dinosaur wheelchair. Bad, bad, bad.

I was pretty happy with the room. Not sure if it was the cleaning solution they use or if the room just had an odd smell. Nothing I couldn't look past.The valet... I don't know where the valet took my vehicle that required 14 miles to be put on it, but that is unacceptable no matter the reason. My vehicle is not your temporary toy.

The Casino is big and the music is great on Friday and Saturday. Gaming is Hit/Miss. Not sure if they want you to win or lose. I have seen folks lose quite a bit, and win a little. They do pay, just not a lot and definitely not often

So I have some mixed feelings about this place. Love this place cause it’s a great environment. It’s cleaned regularly throughout the night. Bathrooms are clean, slots are cleaned. My favorite thing to do is play slots, I love the slots. They are always updating their games so they have the newest slots out. I don’t always win but I did the last time I went. Didn’t win much but it was enough to at least get my money back. One of my favorite go to games I always win at least my money back is Dragon Lines. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone who wants to have a great night out in a clean friendly and upbeat environment.

I wish I could say more about the hotel, but I didn't get up for the conference I went there for in time to get a room.The gaming room was great, and there is a good variety of food... I got a meatball sub at their pizza place that was AMAZING!!! Also ate a burger at another resteraunt that was great.The gaming floor was awesome, I found my favorite games in there, and found some new ones... it was a great time!Two thumbs way up from me!

The hotel is excellent. Stayed 2 nights.And was very quiet and peaceful. The room we stayed in is very comfortable and very pleasant. They have complimentary coffee and tea. They have a safe in the room that you can use. The shower is very modern - They have a built bench you can use. They also have security near the elevators.Which I thought was very good. No room service on weekdays.I do believe you have room service though on fridays and weekends at certain times. There are plenty of power ports for your phone on either side of the bed. The television is nice sixty five inches and very clear. Has ports to hook up things to television, but i'm not an expert at that is easily accessible. The toilet bathroom area is separate from the shower, a nice touch. The Chino has a lot of slot machines and table games.Something for everyone. They have a smoking section and a non smoking section. Complimentary coffee and soda stations throughout the casino. Also, there is a wide variety of restaurants there and a twenty four hour restaurant also. You also have a valet service that is excellent. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. I had a very good Is experience there.

I first went to the Muckleshoot Casino back in 1994 when it opened. I must say, it has grown a lot from then till now. I used to play keno and the craps table. I no longer gambler but my fiance likes to gamble. I will sit with her while she plays the slot machines. The inside of the casino is Very Attractive and extremely stylish. I like that they have concerts and other events there as well. But the one thing that I do not like is the parking garage. I would rather park outside and not in the parking garage but all the outside parking is now valet.

this place is such a vibe!! i had a ton of fun. i really love the fact that they don’t allow under 21 in the casino. additionally, all the staff i met were so friendly and welcoming.i do have two complaints though.1) the pricing on drinks is actually crazy. (but what did i expect? it’s a casino lol)2) the music caters to the older white community. they play a lot of 70’s and 80’s music. (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but i do like SOME variety….)

We stayed 1 night, 9/28-9/29. The resort is nice, staff is nice, however, when I went to shower in the morning there was no hot water even after running the shower for 10 minutes. Had no issues showering the night before. We paid $500 to not even have a hot shower, that’s ridiculous. It’s also a smoking casino so be aware of that if you’re sensitive to smoke like I am.

I went to a bachelorette party here. I lost all my money but at least I got a cupcake 🤣But really the suite we were in was beautiful. Very modern and chic. The only complaint was that the room didn't have hot water for the two bathtubs but I suppose that is a new hotel ironing out the kinks.

My boyfriend and I recently stayed in the hotel for the first time since it opened. We waited for the pool to be open because that is my favorite part of staying in a hotel.Unfortunately the pool was just lame. Very small for the amount of rooms and seemingly no rules. There were a bunch of kids being loud, splashing, and having fun, which is totally fine, live your best life. However the kids that were eating pizza IN the pool, and even going as far as to float their paper plates on the water...not ok.The hot tub was luke warm, and also very small. The jets didn't work and there was cold water flowing into the hot tub from the bottom.The pool hours were also sad. 10am-8pm, with no adults only hours. Check out is at 11am so there is no time to swim in the morning before you leave, and there was kids in the pool until 8pm. At least reverse the hours (8am-10pm) and make the last 2 hours adults only.For a brand new expensive resort, I expected much better. I do not plan to stay here again, maybe if the pool hours change and include adult only hours. There are much cheaper places with much better pools.

The staff here feels non existent. Many employees walking around but ignore you. Security is a joke, I never felt safe coming here. Parking garage is such a maze, and leaving your car outside in this area isn’t safe. I wanted to see what booking a room would be like but I was looked at like I was an idiot at the front desk for not having a booked room in advanced. Why even have a non smoking area if people are going to smoke anyways and employees won’t do anything about it and management doesn’t seem to care when I asked about it. There are much better casinos in Washington that have better service and quality. I won’t be coming back and I’ll tell everyone I know to look elsewhere.

Have to nickname this one Mucklesmoke Casino.First and foremost thing I notice walking inside is the strong smell of cigarettes, and this was in the non-smoking zone. Then it gets worse in the actual smoking zone...which is where all the restaurants are located.Felt like the machines supposed to prevent smoke from leaking into other zones is not functional.Wanted to check the place out and get dinner (usually tribal casinos have awesome food spots), but that never happened. Spent a total of 10 minutes and felt like I smoked an entire carton.Brought my family with me (including a child) and we were just interested in leaving immediately.Also the self parking area and transition to the entrance is like playing a game of frogger. I'm walking between 2 entry/exit lanes of traffic against terrible WA drivers (visit to see for yourself) and nearly got ran over entering/leaving. Unsafe and boggles the mind how they have no dedicated walk path.Location is terribly out of the way, but it is still connected to a major highway, it's just traffic here is horrible anywhere near I-5.No idea about the rooms or service, so left it blank. I only hope the employees working here don't generate major health concerns breathing in that all day.This place is a huge pass at this time until the management cares more about the people that the money they generate from gambling addicts.

I have frequently frequented this location since 1998. Always love the entertainment they provide. Most recent visits I stayed for 2 days celebrating my birthday. I will have to commend them on their employees' customer service. From the security guards, housekeeping, and floor monitors, everyone is very friendly. I emphasize this because of the consistency for the two days I was there.

The remodel of muckleshoot is absolutely beautiful.It's, it's now one of the best casinos in our area. And the biggest I think. The ventilation system is great.It doesn't stink at all, and the separation between non-smoking and smoking.It's great.

Celebrated my husband's birthday, we had a wonderful time. Check-in was easy. Staff was friendly and helpful. We were greeted with a smile. Our view was a little disappointing for the room price. We were located at the end of the building, and our view was rooftops of businesses and trash compactors . We ate at several restaurants and the food was great!

So we booked a room here cause we were going to a concert at the white river amphitheater so location was perfect. Everyone was very nice and rooms were nice, pool and hot tub were also really nice. My complaint is the being carded everytime you come back to the hotel. I could see the casino but not your room. Also parking for the hotel is far unless you valet.

I love this place the rooms are so nice compared to other places around the area. I also love how they have valet all day sometimes a little busy and the people can get overwhelmed and make you feel like a bother but for the most part they’re amazing. In particular there’s one guy who I usually always end up getting and he’s super sweet but the last time I stayed he went above and beyond. I dropped my money in my car he could have easily taken it no one would have known. But instead he wrote me a little note with my money and put it on the seat so when I picked up I was able to get it 🥹🥹🥹 made my day! Honest people deserve the world I was looking for him to see if I could give him a tip but unable to. When I finally bumped into him my money was upstairs and I felt so bad 🥹. Extremely thankful for the honest employees and the great hospitality.

Big enough that you can get lost. Impressive, everything is pretty new, all the bells and whistles. From the outside, the front entrance is not fun or welcome looking; it's more like what you would expect of a back or side door. But once inside the building there's a fun and exciting atmosphere with plenty to do. I came to check it out and - it's worth a visit !

Everything was wonder for Mother's Day weekend. The 19's restaurant was fabulous. The rooms were wonderful. My main complaint was the gambling, I spent $10,000 dollars and never won one jackpot. My friend spent $5,000 + and never one anything over 2 days. Very unusual for me . Are they just trying to pay off the hotel construction? Won't be back. Would rather go to Snoqualmie or Tualip. Management get a grip. Way too many complaints about the gambling floor for me.

First time coming here. Had a work conference here. Breakfast and lunch options from catering were good.Stayed after conference to do a little gambling. Slots were ok and paid on occasion. Tried a new table game and dealers were helpful to explain the rules and concepts.Eat a steak dinner at the main bar on the main level. Food was good.Only negatives - Took a while for a waitress to see if I wanted a drink and then the bar was out of Miller lite. Garage Elevator area was crowded due to stairway construction.

Had a great one night stay on our road trip. Heading North I was hoping we would be far enough out of Seattle to miss rush hour and I was very wrong. Best to arrive outside those hours no matter what direction your headed. Once we arrived, found most of the EV chargers required an APP we as Canadians could not download with our Apple ID. Luckily, the one on the far end worked without the app as we were relying on getting a charge. You do walk through the casino to check in. Check in was a breeze. Friendly and efficient. We booked a king room with view of Mt Ranier and were lucky it was a clear day and we had a beautiful view. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Only complaint would be needing a softer pillow option. Shower was great. One of the best ventilated casinos I have experienced with large smoking and non smoking sections. Lots of dining choices but we arrived late so just grabbed a slice of pizza and beer and enjoyed a few hours gambling before bed. Would definitely stay again.

Place was clean, bathrooms are awesome.Employees had my disabled husband walking all over creation to find a restaurant that serves breakfast at 8pm. Had to walk through the smoking section to get to one set of restaurants, only to find out they don't have what we want. We're told market restaurant. Walked all the way there, to find out they don't serve it either.Finally made it to the correct restaurant, and it took WAY too long once we were seated to even be greeted by a waitress and offered water. Ended up leaving and going to Dennys nearby.Best part was the women's bathroom. That's about it.

We got reservations at the Smoke and Cedar to watch the fireworks. Our service was great but they decided to have a party for someone on the deck on the fireworks side. We couldn't go out and watch like we were planning after our dinner. We could only see the ones that were extremely high in the air from our seats. We were very disappointed and probably won't be back to the restaurant for a log time. We decided to leave at 10:30 and just go home. In the parking garage exit traffic was backed up to the 4th floor. We sat for an hour and I a low glucose episode. Luckily there was an empty parking spot by us. We rushed back into the casino and a nice bartender gave me orange juice, orange slices and a protein drink out of her own purse. If I couldn't of got help at the car I would've passed out. And if it wasn't for her I wouldn't have been able to walk out of there. The garage was extremely poorly managed. No way an emergency vehicle could get to us. We used to enjoy the classic rock shows on Saturdays but since the remodel it has gone downhill fast. It's no longer a fun place to go.

I think the room cleaning service methods are poor. You would need to call the front desk to request room service. Even if you do request it, the communication between the front desk and cleaning service is poor. Checked into my room, bathroomsmelled like urine. Floors were not mopped. Cleaning service is my only complaint. Everything else is great! I love that they have security all around the casino to provide safety to the guest staying and public.

Open-air, summertime venue offering food, beverages & live music from popular artists.
My first time at the Amphitheater, and what a wonderful place it was! The acoustics were amazing, and not a bad seat to be found! I was happily surprised to find that it had a "Carnival-like" feel to it upon entering thru the ticket area. A highlight was witnessing several hot-air balloons flying closely overhead. I look forward to returning some day soon.

White River is a great venue. There is assigned seating and GA as well.The stage is very well put together and kept.The drinks are very expensive but they have good choices. Food is good.There are a lot of security restrictions so read the website before you visit as they change constantly.Parking is a nightmare.

Venue itself was great. Food options were plenty, wood framed bathrooms inside venue and port a potty before entrance. The traffic to exit after concert was atrocious. 1 lane exit out of venue and that lead to a 2 lane road with stop lights and local stop signs for over 5 miles to Auburn.Seating: purchased lawn seating and brought own blanket. Grass was nice and manicured and soft. You are not allowed to bring in personal lawn chairs, they must be rented. Overall great venue, poor traffic support design for up to 20000 people/vehicles.

First time attending a concert at White River, and we were impressed with how well ran it is. The venue was clean, the security screening was quick and thorough, and the amount of food vendors was amazing. You never stood in a long line to get something to eat, buy merchandise, or use the bathroom. They had a stall attendant in the women's bathrooms to direct people to open stalls so there wasn't a cluster right at the entrance. Leaving the parking lot wasn't half hazard like most venues (so long as people followed the direction of traffic and were courteous). 10/10 recommend seeing a shower here, especially if you have children and want them to experience their first concert without a hitch. We'll definitely be back!

I have the pleasure of working at this venue and it's impressive how well all the bands sound at this ampatheatre as a stagehand. If you ever get the pleasure of going I would expect you will feel that it is worth every penny and the travel getting there to see your favorite band. Located just south of Seattle in Auburn is this awesome little ampatheatre with plenty of parking to see a show you will likely never forget and would definitely return for more.

Loved the venue. It seemed like a theme park in itself. So many places to get food, and Merci stands. We were in seats on the left side, in the second block of seats above the pit. As much as I loved the performance, the seats weren’t all that great. The sides of the stage blocked half of it. I’d recommend going as close to the middle as possible, even if it means being higher up.

We sat in reserved lawn! I highly recommend that if you are choosing lawn seating. Lots of restrooms, food and beverages options available . If you are the DD go to customer service and ask them for a token and you will get a free soda. Also, there are several Murch lines which helps things go smoothly.

It was fast to park for a concert - be aware the back entrance is ADA only. For leaving, it took about thirty minutes to get from our parking spot to the main road, and then after leaving we were still hitting slowdowns on the side roads from concert traffic. So figure in 40-45 minutes of waiting to leave/in traffic after a concert. We saw some people just hanging at their car with refreshments until everything cleared out, that seems like a good way to do it!!

Nice Amphitheater for popular and well-known performers! They have general admission seating in the lawn and I recommend coming in early to get the nice spots. The lawn is sloped enough to where you can see okay even if you didn't get a spot up front. Lots of stalls with great selection of food and drinks! However, my main problem with this venue is getting into the venue and parking. It's absolutely horrendous! It took almost an hour to get into the parking lot, and that's not even more than a mile! I've been here for sold out and non-sold out shows and there's a big difference. If you plan on going to see a show in this venue, especially the sold out ones, then be there way, way, way earlier than you would want because parking alone will set you back if you don't come in early. Other than that, I think it's a really good venue for concerts!

The bands were great! I forgot how good jagged little pill was. And Alanis still sounds so good. That said White River has never measured up for me.

I know this venue has its ups and downs but I always enjoy it. The worst part is definitely trying to leave after an concert but we've mastered leaving a little early and we get out no problem. Besides that the only part I don't like is they don't accept cash anymore. None of the booths or food stands do anyways. Made it difficult when we brought cash for a recent concert. Great views of the bands!

PLEASE have better signs/coordination for getting people out of the parking lots at the end of a show. It was an absolute nightmare trying to get out - instead of following lines, you had cars swarming on all angles to get into the main line. That’s the biggest downside of this venue. The $20 charge is a bit steep for the chair rental on top of the tickets, so if you want a seat back and the actual seats are less than $20 more expensive, go for them.Otherwise, it’s a gorgeous venue. The concourse where the food and drinks are is nice. The option for table/boxes in the seating is cool. Appreciate the chance to bring food and sealed water in.As with every venue, make sure to read the guidelines for clear bags and only clutch purses being allowed.

This is our favorite venue in western Washington. With that said, either be prepared to pay the price for premium parking or pay the price in time it will take to get out of the parking lot. Not unheard of for it to take 2.5hrs to leave the parking lot after the concert.

Overall the venue itself is great. I like the grass area in the back and the sound carries itself quite fine throughout the area. The issue is the getting there and leaving there. We left over an hour before the concert from auburn and was still late due to the traffic as there is only one road in and out of that area. On the way out our delay was about 40 min drive which usually would’ve been 10 mins

A great venue for a concert. The facilities are nice and the grounds have plenty of room,with plenty of vendors. Both times I've been here I've sat under cover . I really don't think their is a bad seat. If you have lawn seating, you have the option of renting a chair. You are not allowed to bring in your own chair. The only drawback here is the parking and the time it takes to get back out to the main entrance.It would be nice if they actually directed traffic at the end of the show vs just waiting their flashlights around. I feel it would speed up the exit .

Went to see Dierks Bentley and he was awesome! White river amphitheatre on the other hand was a bit of a disappointment. They really take every chance to upcharge you these days. They don't allow you to bring outside chairs in anymore, you have to rent your own or upgrade to actual seating (which is what we ended up doing, we paid 25 for the lawn chairs and like 40 to upgrade to seats). If you're gonna go it's nice to pay to skip the line.

Went to alanis morsette and also limp bizkit this month. Both concerts were worth every cent I paid. Went with the wife to alanis and friends to limp bizkit. The venue was great. It was clean, staff were friendly! Of course drinks and food are expensive but expected. The number 1 complaint I heard was the traffic in and out. I didn't experience that. I went before doors opened, and both times were smooth. Did hit a good amount of traffic for the limp bizkit concert going in, but this was cause I went closer to doors open, which was when traffic would be going on. Alanis was no traffic. The biggest thing I can suggest to leave with ease is pay the $80 for ultra premiere parking. Yes, it's a good amount of money but worth every bit. Both concerts I left right away and had no traffic all the way home, which is an hour and 45 mins away.

I loved the venue! it has great food options, good drinks, as well as stunning view of Mount Rainier. It provides free parking when you purchase your tickets but also offers premium parking choices. When I bought the tickets I wondered why they insisted on purchasing the premium parking but after the concert I understood why. It took us two hours to leave the place, 3 to arrive home. It only has one street access. It took us at least 2 and a half hours to get there from downtown Seattle. I don't think I will return. Premium parking costs $50 or more. This place contributes significantly to the local economy, although the lack of good access roads complicates matters.

I saw Santana here and it was excellent. We had reserved lawn seats, which weren't bad. I'm disabled and we waited in the disabled parking lot until the cover band was just beginning and went straight in.I bought tickets 7 months in advance for full price there were many seats left available for much less on day of concert. I will never buy in advance again

This is the second time I have been to a concert in this venue. The food options are excellent, the bathrooms are always clean. The only thing is the traffic. Make sure to be at least 1.5-2 hours early before your concert. The location of the venue is remote which only has one way to get there. If you want to park close and leave fast I recommend purchasing their parking options.

The vendors are usually nice and polite and do their best to keep the lines moving fast. Security and staff are friendly and helpful. I miss the bigger shows they were having back a few years ago. I hope to see the return of festival style concerts here someday.

This is such an incredible venue, the seating is great from almost any spot, there is plenty of parking, although it can be a hike if you're way in the back, I do wish they had exits that could access the rear of the venue instead of requiring to walk all the way around. Regardless, I would recommend almost any show here.

Pit size is great and sounds really good! NIGHTMARE leaving from general parking. I loved that they sold merch in a booth in the parking lot so that you could buy, then take it to your car instead of carrying it.Only really one small hotel in town. It's a ways into the county.I would totally go again and make the drive from Oregon if it was a band I'd really want to see.

Saw Freaks on Parade: Filter , Ministry, Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper 😲 Maybe it's just me but lawn seats are where the party's at. Just chilling with friends, enjoying the show and making new friends. Great music venue! Not a bad seat in the place!

Always a great time during the show. Parking was an issue...even with paying extra :(

The traffic was the most horrendous thing I've ever gone through. You'll want to show up HOURS early or you'll get caught up and miss half the show. They ran out of parking and parked us on the road. The Slipknot show was festival level crazy and packed, May have been sold out. Was gridlocked in the parking lot after the show and waited 3 hours to get out. I will NEVER return to this venue based off traffic and parking alone. The actual show was fantastic, even though we missed the first 2 bands, but the venue is in the middle of nowhere, a bunch of single lane farm roads leading up to it. I suggest seeing your bands at a different venue, especially if you can't get there 4 hours before the show. Go to Ridgefield instead. They actually have traffic control, more parking, multiple ways in, and it's right off i5.

Took my son to a concert to see Sam Hunt and Russell Dickerson . Nice clean smaller venue. I paid extra for closer parking (with a faster exit than general parking) and I also paid extra to enter the venue instead of waiting an hour+ for general entry. Inside the gates they have food and drink vendors with picnic tables so you can sit and eat before the show. I am gluten-free and I was able to find some gluten-free food at the Louisiana food stall. I had rib ends which were very tender and the portions were good sized but the fried potatoes were a little salty for me. The taco stand also has gluten-free food too. The seats in the Amphitheater were situated so you could see the stage. There were 2 screens on either side of the stage but you couldn't see anything on the screens when it was still daylight only when it got dark. Otherwise a very good place to see a show.

Specialty Museums
The Bainbridge Island Museum of Art is a privately owned museum that offers rotating exhibits with a special focus on works by local artists. The museum features two floors of exhibition space, a cafe at the back, and a gift shop on the ground floor with lovely gift options for visitors. One exhibit showcased the internment experience of Japanese residents during WWII and was well received. Another exhibit featured the Heroes collection by Cory Bennett Anderson that covered the entire first floor.
A free private museum that only asks for donations on entry. There is a cafe at the rear and two floors of exhibition space. When I went they had an exhibition on Japanese residents experience being interned during WWII which was very well done. There is also a shop on the ground floor with some nice gift options. Definitely worth a visit to the museum.

I LOVE coming here. It's free admission, but they take donations via cash or card. They always have different local artists displaying their work, and all of their work has been phenomenal. The work they display is emotionally impacting and even though it's a small museum, the work they display is intriguing enough to where I've spent a good amount of time reading about their work. The people that work at the museum have a lot of knowledge about the artists as well, which is great since they helped provide insight on the artists' work.

Really nice museum. We enjoyed reading about the exhibits in here and seeing the unique pieces upstairs. The docents were nice and really knowledgeable. The outdoor area was cool spot to chill. The restaurant on the first floor was pretty good and fair priced. Parking was easy on the weekday we visited. The best part is that’s free, but they accept donations.

The Cory Bennett Anderson Heroes exhibit was on display here when we visited. It was a great exhibit that took up the entire 1st floor. It's a small museum, but the exhibits on display are unique. The museum is free and the staff is very friendly.

If you are visiting Bainbridge, drop by this museum. It's free to visit and it's quiet. There's interesting indigenous art. One of the curators demonstrated the movement of the masks for us. There is modern and pop art, which gives you a range of styles to enjoy.

This museum is a short walk from the Bainbridge Ferry Terminal, and has a beautiful collection of works. It's honestly the most enjoyable art museum I've ever visited. Nothing could be skipped over, because everything was so interesting and awe-inspiring. The staff is incredible and friendly, and they have the neatest gift shop. If you're an artist and need newfound innovation in creativity, this is a fantastic place to find it.Definitely worth more visits! I already want to visit again, but I live so far away.

Great museum! It’s on the smaller side but the exhibits change frequently and they had a lot of mixed mediums on display. My favorites were the “ice dyed” fabrics (Do not remember the artists name) and the cut out work by Nikki McClure. Well worth a quick stop.

A great little art museum...and it's FREE. The art was well-curated and interesting. If you're on Bainbridge - definitely put this on your list. Or just hop on the ferry and pop over. Easily walkable if you don't want to take your car.

EXCELLENT ATTRACTION TUCKED AWAY ON AN ISLANDI was only going to take the ferry from Seattle and back again, but thought I'd not waste the trip and spend the time between ferries wandering around Bainbridge Island. My first stop, after walking up from the ferry, was this place. It's perfectly located to catch your attention, then having free/donation entry meant that frugal me had to pop in and have a look.I'm glad I did. It's an eclectic mix in a beautiful building and the gift shop is worth a browse.

It is a museum with very good architecture, it is completely free. I liked the layout of each exhibition room. Every year they put on new exhibitions according to the season or a particular artist. and at the end it has its gift shop.

What a magical place! I am visiting Seattle from NYC on a budget, and this was one of my favorite activities. As a free/donation-based museum, I was pleasantly surprised by the vast, wonderful, and diverse collection of local artists. There are lots of beautiful and thought-provoking pieces of different mediums that take you on a range of thought + sensory journeys as you wander through. I particularly loved the art commenting on the effect we’ve had on nature and our connection with it. The book-making room was also very cool and unique, I spent so much time in there trying to read each intricate little piece! The museum is very well kept with nice bathrooms and great staff. There is also a lovely rooftop garden to soak up the sun. I am looking forward to coming back on my next trip to the PNW!

Bainbridge Island Museum of Art (BIMA) has fabulous exhibits that are free to the public. They also have an auditorium that you can book for events. Our bicycle advocacy nonprofit, Squeaky Wheels, recently hosted an author event w/ Seattle Bike Blogger, Tom Fucoloro and his new book Biking Uphill In The Rain. Cole, our BIMA rep, had everything ready and took care of everything we needed. The event ran seamlessly.

Experience the thrill of indoor skydiving at iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Seattle, where you can take flight in an indoor wind tunnel. For an even more immersive experience, consider booking a Virtual Reality Experience to feel like you're skydiving over tropical Hawaii, sun-soaked Dubai, or the majestic Swiss Alps. This is a perfect adventure for families as well, offering kids the chance to fly like superheroes without jumping out of an aircraft.
We came here for my daughter to see what the experience of skydiving I like. And she had a lot of fun. The instructors are very knowledgeable and the instructor James we had was awesome and very helpful and informative with all the younger kids in our group. From the start of the experience with Marissa taking our reservation and answering my questions (the 2 times I had called)to checking us in to the time leaving the building made for an overall perfect time.For the other guests saying the cost is too much it is what it is...its a very unique experience and no other place to do it around here so yea it may cost more that some of your other "regular" activities but the experience is definitely one of a kind. Thank you

Went for a special birthday celebration with 10 year old vouchers. They accepted them with no problems. Super friendly from greeting us at the door through the whole process. They explained the process and made the experience a very positive one. They offer extra services and products, but were in no way pushy or over the top selling said items. The flights were fun. We all had a great time.

The actual experience of being in the wind tunnel is amazing. Floating up in the air is both exciting and scary at the same time.The staff are very friendly and are very careful and serious about your safety. They are vigilant and keep you engaged the whole time.We had lots of fun however, the only thing I would like to point out is that, they do a lot of upselling and if can get very expensive very quickly.

Awesome experience! People were great, facility was clean and well-lit. Specific location seemed sketchy, not the Southcenter part, just the actual dead-end parking lot next to the business with the broken-out window left me wondering if my vehicle would be vandalized in broad daylight while I was inside having fun.Everything turned-out fine, really fun in-fact!

A little pricey but a great experience...will be doing it again in the future. They have all the equipment that you need including tennis shoes if you forgot and wore your boots like we did. They provide training and explain things as you go so you know what is happening next. We recommend the high flight for some extra fun. The pictures and videos they provide are a great way to memorialize the fun.

I bought a session for my daughter. I paid extra for the high fly which she really enjoyed. Unless you are part of a large group, you are put into the others who paid for the same time slot. The picture purchase option is cool and the seating if you are watching is comfortable.

Do it! Life is too short to not experience the wild, and these people here are here to make sure your experience is everything you want. We did the STEM program with Girl Scouts and the kids (and parents) had so much fun. They walk you through the whole process and make sure your questions and concerns are responded to! We can't wait to go back!P.S. If you are nervous because you're bigger, but under the weight limit (300lbs), just try it!! Less than 260lbs can fly no problem, and 260-300, I think they talk with you before allowing.

My family (ages up to 65) and I tried iFLY Indoor Skydiving for the very first time, and it was a unique memorable experience. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was electric with excitement and positivity. The staff at iFLY were incredibly upbeat and welcoming, making us feel comfortable and ready to take on the thrilling adventure. Our instructors were not only professional and knowledgeable, but they were also genuinely passionate about what they do, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Being completely airborne without wings, blades, or a balloon was an exhilarating feeling—there truly isn't anything else like it. It's such a unique experience, and we're so glad we finally tried it!

An absolutely fantastic experience!Every member of staff was friendly and helpful and competent. The experience itself was well worth the money. It was exhilarating without ever feeling unsafe. If you're on the fence right now, make the leap and try it!---I went as part of my 42nd birthday celebration. I had two friends with me, but one of them injured their shoulder the day before and couldn't participate. She was able to get a voucher to come back later.Every single person we interacted with was A+!Our flight group included a trio of young children, and the instructor did a great job of juggling the very different needs of the kids and the adults.In the air shaft the only possible communication is non-verbal, and it's awesome seeing how effective they are!---One thing to be prepared for: whatever you bought at the front desk, there are opportunities to be "up sold" once the experience starts. They offer "high fly", or "extra flights" that can be added on later in-the-moment. Everyone is very clear about what is being offered and prices are clearly displayed in giant text. No one is giving a hard sell. I could still see this being a meaningful problem for someone with poor impulse control (as I have been in the past). On the plus side, it does allow for getting a taste of the thing at a lower price, and then adding a 2nd helping and dessert if you're enjoying yourself.---I definitely plan to come again!
Branden C — Google review
I honestly can't give this place a good review and it really all comes down to the price and borderline predatory tactics. After you've purchased your flights and gotten to the facility you are immediately told "Oh hey by the way, what you purchased doesn't come with the best part which is called the high fly. That's an extra $20!" So now you're basically forced into paying extra on top of the already high cost of only 4 minutes of flight time. Yes I understand that you can say no to the "high fly," but the way they build it up manipulates you into feeling like you're missing out if you don't purchase it.To be honest, anyone who has done any actual skydiving will not be happy with this experience. The "high flight" which you pay extra for is definitely not worth it. The overall experience is pleasant but if you're hoping to get your adrenaline going you're in for a disappointment.Our instructor was great! Unfortunately I can't remember his name, James I think it may have been, he was excellent and one of the high points of the experience.Overall having to pay extra after you've already paid and arrived at the facility leaves you feeling like you've been scammed and is the main reason for this review. It really leaves a bad taste in your mouth, especially since it's not what they crack it up to be.

I've always wanted to try skydiving, but because of musculoskeletal problems, I worry that I would get hurt. I felt safe and comfortable during the indoor skydiving experience at iFLY.

The staff are really friendly and helpful, and it was an experience I'll never forget.

I've taken my daughter here twice now, the first time was for a pair of flights and the second time was for 7 each. Both times were outstanding experiences. Simon was our first instructor and Ben was our second. Whether you are there to simply revel in the experience, or if you are interested in actually learning how to control yourself in flight, they will be there to help you every step of the way.

Why hasn’t anyone reviewed this place yet?Seriously though, what can I say that hasn’t been said? Excellent experience and perfect execution. The high flight is extra, but it’s pretty awesome. You have an option of buying the same packages at 50% off after you have completed your flight. Plan to buy it, because you WILL want to come back!FYI - the return flights don’t have to be for the same fliers!Big props to the whole team. Everyone we interacted with was great! We were fortunate enough to have Ruben as our instructor. He took care of our group of six 11 year old boys like a pro! Calm, engaging, fun and friendly. Most importantly, he emphasized a safety first mindset and kept the zoo of children we brought tamed. Thank you iFLY. Thank you Ruben! See you again soon!P.S. - The video is of Ruben. All instructors take a flight at the end of each session. It’s too fun. The kids went nuts!

10/10 do it! Just got done with my first 2 flights and bought 4 more. Cameron was our instructor and I will definitely be scheduling my next fights with him. The amount of instructions was just right for me, not so much that I got bored but enough to understand how/why. In the flight chamber Cam was encouraging and helped me have an amazing time.
Jarrett M — Google review
I cannot express enough how wonderful our experience was! From the moment we walked in, the staff exuded professionalism while maintaining a friendly and courteous demeanor. Our instructor, Simon, was fantastic. He skillfully ensured our safety without overwhelming us, allowing us to truly enjoy the thrill of flying. The facility was impeccably clean and well-organized, adding to the positive experience. My two children, aged 10 and 7, couldn't stop talking about the fun they had. A massive shoutout to the entire iFLY team, especially Simon, for making our visit memorable and enjoyable!In addition, while they do try to upsell you at multiple times, it never feels like you’re being pressured. Instead, it’s much more like a friendly inquiry than a used car salesman vibe. The staff genuinely wants to enhance your experience without making you feel obligated, which adds to the overall positive atmosphere of iFLY.I also want to mention that later in the day, after our flight, I encountered an issue while redeeming my photo and video vouchers online. However, a simple call to the front desk fixed everything right up. The staff not only resolved the matter over the phone but also patiently waited on the line while I completed my purchase to ensure there were no more issues. This level of customer service truly went above and beyond, making our entire experience at iFLY even more memorable.

Cam was a great instructor, was very calm and reassuring to me and my friends who had never done indoor skydiving before. However, I found the strong air made it hard to breathe, and wish the educational/instructional video addressed that so we could’ve worn the full helmet. Amazing facility, and staff tho. Also the videos of us are so funny and they definitely wouldn’t have been as funny if it weren’t for us panicking. I’ve been showing everyone them and they’ve been spreading a lot of hysterical laughter.

Nolte State Park
State park
Nature & Parks
Park
A 117-acre day-use park including a lake with boating & fishing, birdwatching & a 1.4-mile trail.
What a fabulous lake. No motorized boats, just people floating around the lake with their floaters, kayaks, paddle boards or just swimming around. There are so many trails to walk all around the lake. It's a beautiful place. Restrooms and playground for kids. There are many areas with picnic tables and grills. You must go to this Lake and the Park. You won't be disappointed. $10.00 for a day parking, or you can get a years pass for $30.00. It's well worth the year pass to enjoy the walking trails after the warm summer lake swims.

Absolutely lovely park! Peaceful lake, nice trails, amazing trees. Shade and sun. Picnic areas. Perfect place to bring a blanket and nap in the sun. Walk you leashed dog. Run with the kids. Skip rocks. Celebrate this gift of earth and sky and life. Nolte is a true delight.

Nolte State Park is a serene and scenic destination perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. Located near Enumclaw, the park centers around the picturesque Deep Lake, offering opportunities for swimming, fishing, and boating. The 1.4-mile loop trail around the lake is ideal for a leisurely hike or a peaceful walk, providing beautiful views and abundant wildlife. The park also features picnic areas, making it a great spot for family gatherings. Overall, Nolte State Park is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy nature's beauty.The best part is just walk 40-50 steps from the parking you are right in front of the lake perfect for young families and kids who don’t want to hike or walk much.

Gorgeous park that is well kept! There's a 1.4 mile trail that goes around the lake that is easy to walk. There are maybe 60-80 picnic tables and maybe 15-20 grills, so plenty of room for visitors.

Beautiful park for hiking, swimming, trail running. I used it for an adventure day with the boys and ended up swimming. It does get crowded toward the middle of the day, per usual. I recommend bringing your own water gear as there were so many people out here with their paddle boards, tube's, etc. We weren't that prepared. I also say use caution when you're swimming with little kids. They Def need a life vest. Water drops after 10ft or less.

I've gone hiking here at Nolte State park twice in the last week. The trail around the lake is approximately 1.4 miles. You can bring your dog to walk the trail too! Of course dogs must remain on leash at all times.

Nolte is a great park with a lake and a trail around the lake. If you like photographing mushrooms, this is a great spot in Fall. I took a lot of mushie pics but didn't have room to add them to this album. I also got to watch a cute otter walk onto the beach, wiggle it's tail, roll around and then walk back into the water. Love me some wildlife! This would be a fun spot to camp.

We visited on a cloudy but dry winter day. The walk around the lake was very easy, and the trail graveled. There was a mist hanging over the lake, which made for lovely views and interesting photo opportunities. Every season has its own beauty, and there are very nice views across the lake with the mountains in background.

Very nice state park with a little bit of everything: small lake, trail around the lake, picnic area, playground, restrooms, tons of flat green area with grills and a water faucet in the middle of everything.Enough parking space but can get pretty packed around noon.

Very nice and cozy place to take kids, dogs, friends and family. There are multiple spots around the lake where you can sit and accommodate your items (chairs, picnics, toys, coolers, etc). There are also multiple spots that you can use to access the lake and to get your kayak or paddle boards in the water. Very safe and secure place although you should always keep an eye on your kids. Another good recommendation is to remember to get your Discover Pass before arriving to the place so you can save some time and money. There were plenty parking spots and very clean bathrooms. Kid and pet friendly, perfect place to enjoy summer.

Really enjoyed this low key state park. There is a beautiful, well groomed, 1.4 mile stone trail that circumnavigates the lake. There is opportunities for boating, fishing, swimming, walking, and running. There is a large parking area as well as restroom facilities. There is a beach area but the park is predominantly wooded.

Great park for a day trip. No gas boating; however, row boats etc. welcome. Fishing and an easy 1.4 mile trail loops the lake. Picnic tables and shelters available. I love the enchanted forest feel of the place. I may have found my get away for a walking destination with the no fuss trail. Do be mindful of the entrance, it is easy to miss. Though these are late fall/early winter pictures I now look forward to the changing seasons of this park. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.1/29/22Took the wife back with me for an afternoon walk. Weather was perfect and the park was busy. A lot of nice people. She loved the path and it was easy on her physical recovery exercises. Huckleberry, our pup, couldn't get enough, lol.

It's a great little 1.5-mile trail to walk the dogs or jog. Just pretty in general, and you can fish if you would like to. You do need a discovery pass as well.
Nicholas B — Google review
Nice little park. Short trail around the lake is great for a walk. Lots of shade. Plenty of picnic areas. The lake is small and water looked a bit murky so I personally wouldn't swim in it, but there were a lot of people swimming or paddling. Restrooms were clean and well stocked with soap and TP.

Museum of space history
Specialty Museums
The Museum of Flight, situated at the southern end of King County International Airport, is the largest non-profit air and space museum globally. It houses over 175 aircraft as well as countless artifacts, rare photographs, and exhibits that bring the history of aviation to life through virtual reality and 3D activities. Visitors can engage in a flight simulation activity to experience piloting an aircraft or explore preserved artifacts using virtual museum technology.
I came in on the first Thursday of the month, a free day for everyone. This museum is a must-to-go place for those into aircraft and spaceships. You have a chance to get into these aircraft and enjoy your journey along with the museum. You better visit this museum more than once to grasp the knowledge fully. I highly recommend it to anyone

A must see if you are visiting Seattle! We went on a weekday (Tuesday) just after 2PM and there were no crowds, lines or having to wait around anywhere. There was ample free parking which is always nice and the area felt safe unlike most of downtown Seattle.It is important to note that if you are going a little bit later in the day, the pavilion aircraft wing has limited hours during the winter months. If you come too late and you see the other wings first, you will miss the pavilion exhibits.There are a large number of planes and aviation related exhibits in this museum. We planned to stay here for three hours and believed it was more than enough time but I personally could have used another two hours there.The friendly staff members, quality of exhibits, and the nice clean modern facility made the visit a pleasure for me.One of the wings (Red Barn gallery) was closed when we visited.I'll definitely be back in the near future.

Really cool experience.Highly recommend.

Wow! Well worth the money. I spent over 3 hours here exploring the various exhibits and hangers. The world war exhibit was very well done with replicas of all aircraft used during the wars.One of the last 18 concordes was on display - unfortunately the walk through wasn’t available when I was there - it was for the 787, Air Force 1 and a few others.Plenty of expert guides were also available to share stories.

Wonderful museum! I didn't realize how many of the materials were real and historical and not a replication. Many people in wheelchairs so it seemed very accessible. We spent 6 hours there and didn't even read everything!The gift shop was very cute and there were many opportunities for gifts. This is a great museum for anyone if any ages

A Mesmerizing Flight of Museum Experience for the Whole Family!Min 2-3 hours of time/exploration is needed to cover this whole place.We recently had the pleasure of visiting the Flight of Museum in Seattle with our family, including our four and a half-year-old kid, and we can't stop raving about our unforgettable experience! From start to finish, the museum offered a fantastic blend of education, entertainment, and awe-inspiring exhibits that kept us engaged and captivated throughout our visit.Upon entering the museum, we were greeted by friendly staff who warmly welcomed us and provided us with useful information about the different sections and activities available. The museum's layout was well-designed and easily navigable, making it convenient for families with young children.One of the highlights of our visit was the interactive exhibits, tailored perfectly for kids. Our little one was absolutely thrilled to explore the hands-on activities, where they could pretend to be a pilot, operate control panels, and even sit in a real cockpit. The museum successfully struck a balance between fun and learning, fostering our child's curiosity and imagination while imparting valuable knowledge about aviation.The collection of aircraft on display was truly breathtaking. From historic planes to modern marvels, the Flight of Museum showcased an impressive array of aircraft that showcased the evolution of aviation. The exhibits were well-maintained, and we appreciated the informative signage accompanying each display, which provided fascinating insights into the planes' history and significance.The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the flight simulators. Both kids and adults had the opportunity to experience the thrill of flying in a realistic cockpit environment. The simulators were equipped with state-of-the-art technology and offered an incredibly immersive experience. Even our little one was able to enjoy a simplified version tailored for their age, which they absolutely adored!Throughout our visit, we noticed the museum's commitment to creating a family-friendly atmosphere. There were dedicated play areas where kids could burn off some energy, and the staff was always on hand to assist and engage with young visitors. The facilities, including restrooms and dining options, were clean and well-maintained, ensuring a comfortable experience for the whole family.Lastly, we must commend the museum's efforts in accommodating families with young children. They provided stroller parking areas, diaper-changing stations, and even nursing rooms, which made navigating the museum hassle-free for us.In conclusion, the Flight of Museum in Seattle proved to be an absolute delight for our family. It provided an engaging, educational, and interactive experience that catered perfectly to our four and a half-year-old kid while keeping adults equally enthralled. We highly recommend this museum to families seeking a memorable and enriching outing in Seattle. We can't wait to visit again and explore even more of the wonders of aviation!P.S. Fist Thursday of every month is FREE 5pm-9pm

This is an underrated "must-visit place" in Seattle if you have kids and an aviation fan! This is one of the largest collections of airplanes in North America. The ticket rates are reasonable and parking is free. We spent almost 3 hours here and we felt our dollars were spent well in here. The kids live it so much!

I'm always going to do an aviation museum everywhere I travel. Always! Of course, I'm a pilot, blah, blah, blah. What set The Museum of Flight apart was the amazing way they brought ART and AVIATION together with their ART + FLIGHT exhibition. My second passion is art and I've never encountered such an offering. A pleasant surprise. So, back to planes! The staff there were plentiful and helpful. For me, a little too helpful as I like to walk, see, read and reflect in solitude but I appreciate their helpfulness and enthusiasm for aviation. The variety of planes is impressive the history of Boing was very interesting and they also have a WWI and WWII area. Parking is easy. I didn't eat there but they were plenty busy and it smelled good. I've never been to an aviation museum that I couldn't recommend so take my glowing review as one from an enthusiast.

Impressive collection of planes & very well exhibited. They have planes or models from the Wright brother's flyer to the space shuttle. Focused areas for WWII & WWII with some foreign planes that are 1 of a kind. Some nice hands-on activities, like landing the shuttle.

Huge museum with a lot of planes. Parking is plenty, I would not recommend taking public transportation here; is quite a long distance from Seattle. There is a lot to see and learn if you love planes. The best part is walking through the planes and seeing the inside without any seats. There was also a food truck in the airplane hangar with a couple tables so that you can eat amongst the planes which is pretty fun. I got a club sandwich and it was a normal sandwich so that means it was good.

A must museum to visit if you like airplanes and history. You can see and get into the aircrafts, understand the genesis of Boeing industry, interact with multiple items and enjoy learning about the industry. I strongly recommend.

As a pilot and aviation enthusiast, this place couldn’t get much more awesome! Lots to do and see here, including some interesting history tidbits from WWI and WWII for those who may be more into history than just aviation. Tickets were reasonable and we got there around 10 minutes after they opened and experienced no wait. Very nice place

An awesome museum, where you can walk through some amazing historical planes (Including a previous Air Force One) and soak up a ton of knowledge. For those who love aviation id reccomend getting there early. We spent 4 hours there and felt like we only got though half of the stuff, and that was rushing!

This is an amazing museum! There is a lot to see.... the Space area is over a bridge on the other side of the road so don't miss that incredible exhibit! The Apollo exhibit is fantastic. We really enjoyed the war planes area as well. It's a great wealth of information and artifacts. We also came for Yuri's Night which was a super fun space party!!!Also, don't miss the gift shop! I got a bunch of fun things in there, including the little comet plush I did the photo shoot with. There is even Henry merchandise that matches the big Henry mural outside! What a great museum!!

Seattle being intertwined with Boeing only makes sense for it to have a strong aviation history and this museum is the perfect representation for it. It is very detailed and very well planned out. If you start from one end, you can literally walk through the advancements every step of the way and finally ending up to where aviation is today. Plan to spend 2-3 hours if you want to look at everything properly and read up as well. I had an amazing time here and would highly recommend giving this place a visit if you’re into Aviation even a little

Awesome place for those who get excited about airplanes.Has a small kids area for kids.

This remains one of the best museums in the Northwest! We've been members for decades and they are still producing great exhibits. They have plenty of commercial planes as well as a number of military planes. They do a good job of presenting WWI and WWII as well as the space program. There are a number of interactive exhibits as well. It also traces the history of Boeing. You can walk through a Concorde, Air Force One, a 747, and a 787 Dreamliner. Very cool!

One of the largest museums of planes I’ve seen. The collection is across the eras from WW1 to current aircrafts. Further, there are a lots of miniature models and the simulator here is amazing. Loved the experience as my employer had blocked the museum for an event, exclusive evening event was even more special. Buy tickets early and plan to wait 40+ minutes for simulator (go for solo, worth it).

If you like planes or aerospace this is the place for you it's a really good museum for all ages.A lot of history that keeps the kids and adults hooked up. Take a map and remember to go to all the areas so you can go inside the Air Force One , 747 and 787 airplane ✈️ you are going to enjoy it.

Oh gawd I expected to be so board at just another air museum. BUT, I loved it, great photo ops, good information, the airforce one and the concord being highlights for me. The space shuttle and so much good information , world War 1 and 2 planes and the prime information from Vietnam and all the spy drones . Even weather and tower information. Spend the day, it's worth the trip.

Wow! Incredible museum. We got there when they opened at 10am and almost stayed the entire time they were open. So much information. Highly recommend especially for the price. Only $26 for an adult! Definitely worth the trip but plan to be there for a very long time! They offer return admissions and now I understand why. If I really read everything, it would take days!! Also, we got to walk on Air Force One that Eisenhower and Kennedy used!

This is a great museum to visit with your kids or without, especially if you are an aviation enthusiast. The museum has a vast collection of historical airplanes, both indoors and in the adjacent outdoor pavilion. We had no idea that they have a free admission and extended hours on each first Thursday of every month. While our ignorance cost us a few extra $$, we were still able to enjoy the extra hours.

This was my first experience in this type of museum. I found it to be very interesting and informative. Aside from the different types of aircraft, they have interactive exhibits as well. You are able to go inside several different aircraft to see what they look like inside. They also have short films playing for different historical air events. They had flight simulators with monitors on the outside so others could see your experience. I would recommend this museum to both children and adults!

A fun place for plane and space lovers of all ages.The museum houses many airplanes and many exhibits. I was impressed with the amount of planes from WW1. During my visit had the privilege of attending a talk regarding a Vietnam War event regarding fighter pilots. The talk was provided by a veteran and attended by many others. Very informative and captivating.The museum also does a fantastic job of teaching people regarding the aspects of flight. Moreover there's an area that informs people how airplanes are managed while they're in the sky. You can see all airplanes that are currently in the sky on the screen.Food court and gift shop available on site. The food court has lots of options from hot dogs to more healthy choices.Parking is free and located right in front of the entrance.It is also important to acknowledge the accessibility the museum offers to all people now matter their socioeconomic background. Entrance fee is affordable and based on certain eligibility there might be more of a discount.Many volunteers were around and were welcoming and informative. They made the experience much more rewarding and educational.

I usually only go on the free night they have once a month and the parking lot is always packed, but there is parking across the street.This museum of flight has a lot of airplanes and other trials of flight on display. It goes through the Boeing history in the barn, has a WW2 section, a couple areas of space exploration, and a bunch of planes you can walk through like an Air Force One and 747.It's all very informative and neat to see. They also have a cafe and gift store. During the day you can watch airplanes take off as you eat.

This is a true one-of-a-kind museum! It has something for from toddlers to the children at heart. Housing one of the largest private aviation collections in the US, everyone will find an aircraft or spacecraft to enjoy. Something truly great about this museum is that on the third Thursday of every month from 5 pm to 9 pm they have FREE admission! I recommend at least three to four hours here but even then you might not see it all.Plan accordingly for traffic and parking and keep a keen eye out for special aviation treats hidden in the museum.

Cool museum, lots to see. The kids loved the coloring pages and the flight simulator. The toddler play area was also a hit. 4 stars only because parking was confusing and I parked by the space center instead of the main entrance because I couldn’t see the signs very well.
Monica N — Google review
huge variety of exhibits to view ranging from historic artifacts and informative displays to different types of aircraft, fun facts and interactive booths. a handful of planes are available for guests to walk through or sit in, with many more suspended from the ceiling or set up on the ground. some VR/simulator booths set up with a lineup if that interests you. they have a presentation hall for guest speakers so check out their website to find out who will be speaking if you are planning a visit. if you have an aviation enthusiast in your family, do plan to spend all day here. bring a lunch as the cafe is pretty mid tier and packed from 11-1.
Kristine B — Google review
Awesome museum with loads of aircraft and history. Has a reasonably priced Cafe of site, too. Lots of interactive exhibits for kids and adults alike. Wanted to give five stars but half of the airplanes you can walk through were closed. Wouldn't be a big deal, but we flew here from Hawai'i to see those planes specifically. Discounts are available, parking is free! Highly recommend checking out the museum and maybe call ahead to see if all the aircraft are open to tour.

It's been a while since I've been here, and I remember thinking the museum was great when I was here previously. It has only improved since then. I was so impressed by what I saw on this trip, and I didn't even have time to see everything I wanted to. I'll definitely have to come back.I wish the museum had an outdoor plane spotting area on the third floor for taking pictures and video of the landing traffic at BFI.

This was such an epic museum. I love aviation, so I spent hours in here with my friends reading everything I could. I also got to speak to some of the staff (one of them virtually, he was really nice) and all of them were really passionate about what they were talking about. Some even had firsthand stories with the same planes in the museum (the same models, at least)!I can’t wait to go back because I didn’t realize there is a whole outdoor area to explore.

Great place to see a living history of aviation. Thoroughly enjoyed the outing with my son and daughter-in-law. As fellow aviators, my son and I even got adventurous and took the P-51 flight simulator. It was a ball! Loved taking an album full of pictures of the many beautifully restored airplanes (a few below) and the info plaques ... truly a first class museum.

Our group was well taken care of. Check in process was smooth (a gentleman checked us in, one of the front leaders, forgot his name but he was great. We also had the pleasure to have a private tour with Tommy, an aerospace industrial veteran who volunteers during the weekend at the museum.

Walking through the different sections, we learned about the evolution of aviation, from early flight pioneers to the space age.Really recommend ☺️

Went on New Years Eve with a party of 3. No wait. I can't believe I've lived here for over 20 years and never did this. It's amazing! Easily a 4hr plus trip and be prepared to need to rest if your not 20yo or younger. So much to see an do. Bring extra money for things like the virtual reality stations, they cost extra.Food is very expensive here so eat before you come. The gift shop has so much, we spent 30 min just in there.Kids will have an endless amount of things to do and see. I was disappointed that some of the big planes were closed so we could not go in them but there was still so much to do. Also, it's easy to miss the B52 Bomber outside, you have to follow a path to it and we were the only ones out there so I think many people missed it.Highly recommend! We will be back.

Very nice aviation museum. Most of the planes looked to be restored to better than new condition. Wide range of displays. Lots of walking, but not as much as at some other aviation museums I have been to. You can walk through a few of the passenger planes and get quite up close to most others.

I was super excited to visit this museum and it didn’t disappoint. I have previously visited similar museums and this had very good collection of military airplanes, space equipment and commercial aircraft. You can actually go inside an Airforce One aircraft! I thought it was really cool. Also, there is a SR-71 Blackbird for those who are interested.There’s a good collection of airplanes from the origin of flight up until the modern era. The volunteers are extremely friendly and will provide you with a lot of interesting history. There are free tours every half hour so you can join one of those if you’d like to hear more from the experts.Account for around 3 hours if you wish to see everything properly.

Hello!! The Trekking Pawns here!! In our week of Seattle, we just had to check out the Museum of Flight. Took the public bus 124 from downtown Seattle south and it dropped us off right in front of the museum. On the bus ride, there were 3 other families all speaking different languages going to the same place. What an international attraction! The place is massive! You’ll need a whole day here. Many interactive exhibit, the newest one (in the Red Barn) called “Home beyond Earth” allows you to explore different ways to live in space and you get to create a character and design a life style in space! Very fun! Especially for kids. The Aviation Pavillion is open air and you can walk and explore the insides of retired planes. The Concord and Air Force one was very cool! The flight simulation game was very engaging for adults! Especially those who have never tried one before. The cafe provides a nice break and lunch at reasonable prices. There are also EV charging stations.

Nature & Parks
The Bloedel Reserve is a sprawling nature preserve that spans 150 acres and boasts forests, landscaped gardens, and a reflection pool. Its well-designed walkways provide ample opportunity to appreciate the horticulture and design of the park. The park is particularly stunning in rainy weather, as the various shades of green stand out vividly. Visitors can tour the Bloedel residence, which includes bathrooms and an impressive art collection. A gift shop at the gatehouse offers further opportunities for exploration.
The trails are beautifully done. Easy to walk paths through fields, forest, and around ponds. So many different plants that look different every time I go. Many benches that invite you to stop and enjoy the view. I highly recommend you go every season to see the wonderful changes in the gardens and paths.

Nice place to catch fall colors, not so much for flowers, though. When I came on a weekend, there was not many people. I had the place with my friends.Had to buy tickets ahead of time. They do not sell at the door. $20 per person.When you get there, you have to stop at this sign, and the staff comes out and ask for your name to check against their printed list. My name wasn't on it since I bought my tickets 30 minutes ahead of time, but I did have a confirmation email.You can spend as little as an hour or as much as three hours here. There are many paths. This is a nice nature/garden walk. Most of it was relatively flat . No mosquitoes despite many ponds.Overall, it is a fairly well marked and nicely maintained trails.The only animals I saw were ducks.I found restrooms in the visitor center (entrance) and at the mansion. The visitor center is a gift shop that sells postcards, chocolate, and small snacks.

Make sure to reserve your tickets. If you don’t they may act snooty and tell you to come back later after booking online. We were told it was sold out but then immediately booked tickets online. The property itself is gorgeous and well maintained. $22/person is a bit pricey for this experience but if you are visiting the island it’s a nice experience

The reserve was recommended to us by a friend back in Chicago and we weren’t really sure what to expect. Coming from Seattle, we took the ferry, which keeping in mind that the tickets are round-trip. I had purchased four tickets for two of us, assuming that we would need two tickets there and two tickets back, but that wasn’t the case as each ticket for the ferry is round-trip ticket for seven dollars. The island also has great public transportation with the bus ride being two dollars each way per person. You just need to call the bus company and they were super attentive, and the bus drivers were really nice. Two dollars per person is amazing, so navigating around the island and getting to the island was very affordable.In order to see the reserve, they have timed entry, so it is required to get tickets in advance, but there was a lot of openings so that wasn’t a problem.We went on a rainy day and there weren’t a lot of people there. In hindsight, attending the reserve during a time of moisture accentuated the rainforest feel and we really enjoyed seeing the grounds in this particular setting.The first section which is an open field had us wondering if we made the right decision but as we quickly entered the grounds, we saw the attraction to visit this property. It’s very difficult to verbalize the beauty, walking through the trails in the dense forestry. Seeing the house and guest quarters also gives you a clear understanding and appreciation of what it would’ve been like living on this property back in the day.Sorry of the property and the family is pretty interesting and that can be seen in the building on the tour.Overall, it’s wonderful experience and a great property to see. I highly recommend checking it out if you like nature. It’s well worth the trip from Seattle.

Beautiful park. The walkways don't take too long but give yourself plenty of time to take in all the aspects of horticulture and design.The park is most beautiful in the rain, I think, as all the different shades of green really stand out.The Bloedel residence has bathrooms, an art collection and there is a great gift shop at the gatehouse. Worth a visit.

We loved our experience here. The grounds and house were absolutely stunning. The staff did an excellent job making us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. 5 out of 5!

The park and the trails are well maintained, but be aware that trails are not stroller friendly.My favorite parts were the reflection pond and Japanese garden.But I was left with a bad experience by turning us back at the gate for having my small dog in the car. We were asked to park the car outside the property and walk in. I understand the reason for not allowing any pets in the park, but not letting them be in the car in the parking lot felt heavy-handed (gave me colonial vibes).

Bloedel Reserve is a fantastic place to immerse yourself in nature! We recommend buying tickets in advance, but we were able to walk in at 4 PM on a Friday. For a more serene experience, try visiting during less busy times.The reserve is beautifully maintained, with soft paths, lush greenery, and plenty of shade. It takes about 1.5 to 2 hours to see everything, spending around 5 minutes at each stop. The staff is incredibly kind, and the water fountains and bathrooms are clean and refreshing.Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy a peaceful nature experience!

Gorgeous place! Absolutely worth admission.From moss gardens to Japanese gardens to open meadows, there's plenty to enjoy.The spring blooms were lovely.Several benches throughout the property.Clear trails and maps provided at the entrance.Restrooms available at the gatehouse.

I'm not necessarily a huge hiking outdoorsy person, by native PNW standards. Love a beach and a nice day in the sun but I would rather see some art than go to a park. Context to say, if you visit Bainbridge Island this is a MUST DO. Easy walk. Relatively flat 2 miles of just stunning sensory experience for the spring and summer. The most memorable parts were the wild flower grassland—the whole place smelled like honey, I wish they sold it! + the Japanese house and mansion.Would return. Great way to spend 3 hours or so on a day trip then go have dinner or get on the water. Very memorable vs just going shopping or something. Worth your time.

A beautiful, calm and relaxing environment. Lots of paths leading to interesting pockets of plants, colors, little bridges, cleverly thought out walkways - it's fabulous. And a real treat to see a doe and her fawns. A great way to spend a couple of hours or more.

Beautiful grounds! We had to reserve tickets online. Once we got there, we loved the short stroll! The map was a little confusing to us, but it wasn’t hard to just enjoy the view! I had two teen kids with us and 6 adults and we all enjoyed it! Some of the ponds had really cool tree frogs too!

Gorgeous reserve! Ticketing was a bit confusing since we didn't plan to go here but passed by and the sign said we needed tickets booked online. However data is a bit slow in the area and they are aware, so you can go into the toll booth/gate and ask for/get a plastic card with wifi password on it, park inside temporarily, buy tickets online, then return the card to the toll booth then explore the reserve!I wish I took more photos but at the same time it was so beautiful there that we were completely immersed in the experience for the most part. Very beautiful park and views, extremely well maintained!

As a reciprocal garden member and an avid traveler, visiting botanical gardens is my passion. I’ve visited probably 40. Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge Island is in my top 3 in the world!It felt a bit pretentious driving in as they have a gated entrance. A staff person (or maybe a volunteer) greets you at your car. You must have advanced reservations, which was a bit of a turn off when I found that out. They also wouldn’t let me park on their property because I brought my small dog with me. I knew she wasn’t allowed in, but I was planning on leaving her in the car since it was a beautiful day outside. I had already stopped prior to getting to the garden to let her out to do her business since I drove an hour and a half to even get to the garden. I knew dogs weren’t allowed and I had no intention of allowing her to do her business on their property. I was surprised I wasn’t allowed to park inside, however.Besides those two issues, the garden itself was to die for and I would highly recommend it to anybody. Much of the garden is ADA accessible and it had such diversity within the mile and a half walk. I hope to do it again if I’m ever back in this area.

My friends brought me here pre Halloween, everywhere was decorated with beautiful pumpkin vignettes big and small.Gorgeous scenery at every turn, and lastly, they offered an activity that started with a piece of sticky-side-out colored duct tape for bracelet, as our party of a variety of ages enjoyed going on the different paths to find boxes of decoration, to add to and complete our bracelets.A bonding way to enjoy nature's gifts.Thank you to the Bloedels, for having the vision and foresight to create this place.

Gorgeous reserve. Exceptionally beautiful during autumn to see color changes of foliage. A bit of wildlife can be observed while walking the grounds. Buy tickets before hand. You must arrive writing a certain time frame or else you’ll have to wait until you window is nearer to enter the reserve. A fair amount of walking but easy to do and lots odd places to stop, rest, take in the scenery. Many different areas to enjoy within the reserve. The Bloedel home is open to view their living spaces inside. Helpful staff inside the house to answer questions. A gift shop is located at the entrance with unique jewelry, crafts, dishwater, books, blankets, and more. Restrooms also available at the entrance and inside the home. A wonderful way to spend a morning or afternoon.

Beautiful spot. Was our first time visiting. Had a lot of questions but Susannah the volunteer in the house was fantastic. Will definitely be back.

Stunning public gardens that are definitely worth visiting. It was pretty much empty when we came on the weekend. It takes about 2 hours to slowly stroll through all the different gardens.The property itself is also stunning and has a room dedicated to the history of the house.I’ve seen several reviews suggesting picnicking on the lawns, but for what it’s worth the website says that’s not allowed.

A must see place on the island, very walkable with good paved trails, water fountain at the entrance and restrooms. The loop takes about 2 hours to complete but you can easily spend 4h there exploring the area. Take in mind that while bus can take you to the reserve from downtown easily, you might have trouble getting back because of the open construction zone. We ended up taking an uber to get back.

Came on a Friday at about 1pm, not very busy. I think they do a great job of staggering people so it doesn't feel crowded. Very scenic, beautiful property. They're was a bus stop not very far from the entrance, which is great for those who are visiting the island by foot.

The Bloedel Reserve is amazing! Its incomparable beauty will leave you with a lasting impression. From the natural, open entry to the Reflection Pool, and through the moss garden, you'll want to be immersed all day in these spaces. Take your time. Enjoy the serenity of its many water features and the tranquility of the Japanese garden. I love this place and highly recommend a visit if you're going to be on Bainbridge Island. I visited on 3/9/24. It was a rainy day but still an amazing visit!

Bloedel Reserve is a breathtaking oasis of tranquility. The beautifully landscaped gardens and serene walking paths make it a perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle. Each section of the reserve offers something unique, from the lush Japanese garden to the reflective ponds. The peaceful atmosphere allows you to truly connect with nature. Whether you're a plant enthusiast or just looking for a peaceful retreat, Bloedel Reserve is an unforgettable experience.

We came on a Friday afternoon so it was very easy to get in, but reservations are recommended on the weekend. This is a beautiful place with lots of history, give yourself a couple of hours to walk through and learn about the Bloedel family and their dedication to nature preservation. The tour is self guided and there is minimal signage, which is intentional. Enjoy the grounds!

My happy place!! I rolled my day pass into a membership on the first visit!! I’ve seen it lush green and harvest fall so far and can’t get enough!! Oh, and it has THE BEST gift shop!!

This garden is beautiful in the fall. A nice walk to see a house like Pemberly with a variety of gardens but my favorite is the Japanese garden. There's an overlook of the Sound. Nice little shop with art, jewelry, gloves and umbrellas in case you forgot.Be aware: they close at 4 but won't let anyone in after 2:30. So don't be late!!! We came late and had to beg based on the drive time to get there for mercy. They were kind enough to agree, but you could tell they didn't really want to and were just too polite to argue.We were able to walk most of it in about 45 minutes, but if you do want to linger and see the whole thing it will probably take you about an hour and a half to do it justice.I'd like to come back in spring to see the flowers bloom here too.

A lovely 2 hour stroll through meadows, forest, and gardens. The rhododendron flowers were in full bloom in May.

Bloedel Reserve is a beautiful, tranquil space..the perfect choice for an easy two mile walk (or less if you choose) through a variety of landscapes...natural meadows, an historic home with sweeping vistas of the sea and its beautifully landscaped grounds, pollinator meadows, ponds and deep woods with towering trees. The trail is very well maintained and easy to walk. There is an interesting welcome desk and gift shop. We come back every year when visiting the island, and it is equally lovely in the Spring and Fall. Purchase your timed admission ticket on the website as it is a popular destination.

Such a beautiful walk. And my grandma was able to do the walk and she recovered from a broken hip so it’s not too difficult while still being beautiful.

Bloedel Reserve is magical. Gorgeous views, secluded, peaceful, and full of lovely local history. An easy walk throughout but lots of variance in views and scenery. So many beautiful ponds, trees and flowers. We bought a year membership after our first visit because it is definitely a place we will visit multiple times in the year and get our money's work. I can't wait to come back again in the winter and then again in the spring. Definitely going to be bringing a picnic next time.

Absolutely loved the nature reserve. Just the pure variety was astonishing,from pine trees, to moss, views of puegot sound, japanese architecture and gardens (to reference the japanese heritage of the island), a stately home, a cabin and a reflective lake as well as some great lakes and forests. Truly the highlight of my trip to Washington State.The reserve encapsulates everything I love about the State of Washington. The other plus is that it's never too busy either so you're not walking around crowds of tourists and locals, but you feel you've got the place to yourself. I'd reccomend minimum 2 hours to take in the tranquil nature of Bloedel.

Gorgeous park. Make sure you get your reservation set up before you arrive. Totally worth it though. The limited number of people really lets you feel like you are on your own estate.
Kate A — Google review
Our visit to the reserve was very memorable. We were fortunate with the weather, allowing us to enjoy the tour fully. I recommend buying tickets in advance and arriving as early as possible. Every section of the reserve was well thought out. The textures of the trees, with the perfect amount of moss and fern, made it resemble a rainforest. The Japanese section was particularly beautiful, with maple trees and cherry blossoms in bloom. The first floor of the residence was open to the public, and the view of the Puget Sound from there was breathtaking. Few trees were a few hundred years old and they were beautiful!

This isn't a botanical garden like I was expecting, but it is a very beautiful place. I highly recommend it, for people who are able to walk a fair distance comfortably. You need to make online reservations and sign up for a time slot. Then you tour the grounds at your own pace, with a map.

Park
The Kubota Garden is a magnificent 20-acre Japanese-style garden that originated in 1927. Its creator, Fujitaro Kubota, was a self-taught expert in landscaping who skillfully combined traditional Japanese techniques with native plants from the Pacific Northwest. Situated in South Seattle's Rainier Beach neighborhood, this stunning park features hills, valleys, streams, waterfalls, ponds, and rocky formations.
Beautiful gardens with many paths. We went in April and the flowers were blooming. We even got to see a turtle sunning itself! The park was moderately busy with people of all ages enjoying the sights. I really liked the arrangements of rocks around the various waterways. A few spots were a little crowded with people taking pictures, but that's not too uncommon in places like this. I recommend it for a family walk, a romantic stroll, or a peaceful visit alone.

This place was a random impulse spot I decided to check out with my family.. It turned out to be such an amazing garden to walk through! The trees and flowers were all so pretty! Best part was that it cost us nothing!! I'd certainly recommend to anyone looking for a scenic and casual stroll

What a gorgeous day to enjoy this Seattle treasure. My friend and I wandered with no agenda. Lovely discoveries were around every corner. Maps at the entrance if you want one. The park is bigger than you think, so it's a good idea to grab one if you're on a time budget.

This place is beyond beautiful! Full of flowers, trees, ponds, bridges, fish, and even a turtle. It was so relaxing and not overcrowded! There is no cost to visit and parking was easy. My child still hasn't stopped asking to go again a week later. Would recommend to anyone in the area.

a fabulous garden - really feels like a hidden gem. a peaceful retreat from the loudness of life, there are plenty of little nooks you can find to take a seat and just observe. free to visit, free to park! several picnic tables available as well as various benches hidden throughout for a quiet place to rest. I thought I wouldn't be able to find a restroom beyond the porta potties near the entrance, but I was relieved to see a fully functioning public restroom located closer to the exit.

Great for a midday stroll, but with some mild parking challenges. It's a fancy little Japanese foliage garden with a good selection of plant species.The garden is on a big slope and there are lots of layers in the foliage. The tall trees surround you with 360 degrees of quiet nature.I would have appreciated some plaques or pamphlets to learn about the different plants and sculptures, and their cultural significance.

The Kobuta Garden was so beautiful! It is very well maintained, easy to find, and easy to park! It has its own parking lot so you don’t have to find street parking or pay. It’s totally free to enter as well. We parked and walked the park at our own pace which was very nice. Lots to see, beautiful flowers, ponds, small waterfalls/creeks, and many small trails off the main one to explore! So many cool things to see. Highly recommended especially for a free exploration in Seattle!

This is a pretty Japanese-ish garden nestled in a quiet neighborhood. I visited in Jan on a moody day.The little ponds with the Koi fish, small waterfalls and winding trails are a nice getaway for a few! I expect that the gardens look better in Spring, Summer and Fall! 😊 It is not a traditional Japanese Garden, but incorporates many of the features.The entrance is free. Most people we came across wore a mask. The parking is limited. And there are many signs saying car break-ins are a regular thing. So, don’t leave valuables in the car!!

While I admittedly wasn't getting the Japanese feel this garden is supposed to have, it's still a very beautiful garden that you should stop at if you have the time. There are pamphlets up front to guide you through everything there is to see. If you stop to see everything, this could take up to an hour depending on how to get to the various scenic spots. Overall, it's worth a stop if it's convenient, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to see it.

Kubota Gardens in summer is a symphony of greens. From verdant light filtering though tall maple leaves, to the dizzying array of both carefully manicured and riotous evergreen specimens, this garden in summer offers peace as well as delight. Lean into your curious nature and let whimsy choose your path through these acres. Then come back in fall for fiery colors, and spring for hundreds of blooms. Each season here is guaranteed to offer new delights.

Beautiful and expansive free Park but a word of caution. The place is very large and the maps they provide you with are not very detailed. We finally had to ask somebody else how to get to the exit there aren't many trail markers. A great place to spend a few hours don't expect to get through there in any less time than that.

My favorite time to visit this park is in April and May when rhododendrons and azaleas are in full bloom. The gardens are stunning then.When we went in late August this year, in the pouring rain, it was still a lovely garden but not striking.Parking lot gets full on nice days so you have to park in the street. On rainy days, there were very few other visitors.They have flush toilets.It’s a favorite place of ours to visit when we are in the Seattle area.

This was a great place to walk around and enjoy nature. The garden is beautiful and open to the public for free. There was a small parking lot (but there were open spots). I did note that there was broken glass so I suspect it’s best to leave valuables out of sight. There are public restrooms but they are currently closed for renovations. The fall colors are still vibrant. It was very peaceful and picturesque. There are no play structures but many fun places to walk and plenty to see if you are mindful.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Japan Garden! The serene beauty of the carp koi pond, surrounded by meticulously maintained trees, was a highlight of my visit.

Highly recommend!

Another beautiful botanical garden in Seattle. Easy walking trails and lots of unique plants here. Parking is free, but take your valuables with you, make sure your doors are locked, or at least make sure things in your car are out of sight. Dogs are allowed on leash and keep them on the trail per the garden’s policy. Bathrooms are available on premises. They even offer public group tours (reserve in advance online).

One of our favorite places in Seattle, so beautiful in every season! Wonderful place to explore, so well-maintained and designed, and quite popular for photo shoots. It's not that big of a park, but there are so many paths and different kinds of settings that it feels bigger and has lots of quiet, private places to sit and enjoy the garden. Stroller-friendly gravelly paths for much, but not all. Decent-sized parking lot as well. Love this south Seattle gem!

Great park overall.You can take walks, have a picnic, take photos and more.Has lots of cool plants and foliage to observe year round pretty good size as well.Features an expansive trail system that takes you all over the garden but can also make you lost at times.Cool features like ponds, bridges, large rocks and large fields. Some of the ponds have large Goldfish or Catfish.Trails and parking lot can be dusty when dry and muddy and slippery when rainy.Parking can sometimes be a problem. Park is known for car break ins at times.

This is an overlooked gem in Rainier View . A small but jewel-like park with a scrupulously maintained Japanese garden covering approximately 15 acres. While it looks small the artfully arranged paths allow one to walk through a series of small and large scenes and vignettes.We visited on a sunny-ish day in the dead of winter yet because of the preponderance of evergreen plants there is no penalty for the season.Parking is easy but the lot is not large though the few visitors made this a non issue.This is a great place to visit, wander, sit and just enjoy a superb little park.
Beacher2 — Google review
The gardens are free and it's so beautiful there! I pulled up a map of the grounds on their website, however it wasn't very useful once I got there. It is confusing to navigate because there aren't any signs throughout the gardens. There are also several signs in the parking lot stating that they have a lot of car break-ins. That made me feel a little uneasy in an otherwise tranquil area.

Amazing slice of heaven on the way to Seattle from the airport. We enjoyed this garden more than the Japanese Garden. Beautiful plants, well maintained trails, and free to visit with plenty of free parking! You could spend 30 minutes to a whole day here. Plenty of shade.
Kristine Z — Google review
Beware! Love the garden, fabulous and beautiful. But your nice stroll through the garden has a high chance of ending in the discovery of your vehicle being broken into and items being stolen. We were one of two victims of this today (they took luggage and everything from the other victims), and signs across the parking lot warn of this. The reason for my one star review is that if this is such a known issue in their parking lot, they should at least have cameras installed around to deter this obviously frequent crime or have security onsite to protect their visitors. Very disappointed and not a good start to our visit to Seattle.
Stephanie P — Google review
In terms of Japanese gardens, it's not that special. In terms of having it in your neighborhood, it's fantastic to have. Many come here to walk their dogs or have walking exercises. The 2 bridges, the bronze bell with the Garuda etchings are special.

Kubota gardens is a beautiful Japanese-style garden with koi ponds, waterfalls, mallard ducks, and vibrant and well groomed plants. Bring your dog on a leash and the whole family to stroll the sprawling 20 acres of delightful scenery, or have a picnic on the grass.There is a bulletin board just outside where you can pick up a pamphlet and make a donation. Public restrooms are available, although the last time I was there they were locked and only a porta-potty was available. There is no playground, but the kids are easily captivated by the park and will have a blast anyway.

Absolute hidden gem. This city park is better than many cities' paid botanical gardens. The trails are lovely and the scenery is unbelievable. I'd move to Seattle just to have access to this place. It's quiet and wonderful.
Nate S — Google review
One of the prettiest parks I have been too & there are so many meandering walking paths - it's perfect for a long walk and having some quality conversations!! What I also loved that it's one of the few Japanese gardens that stays open till 8pm!! Perfect to chill after a long work day. This is also perfect for some photo-ops in any season - the tall pine trees, moonbridges, koi ponds and overall landscape make it seem picturesque & remote - whether it's spring, rain or show! Definitely recommend checking it out, next time you are looking to find some zen!

A beautiful park that is larger than it seems. Multiple ponds, bridges, waterfalls/trickles, a wide variety of plants & trees, as well as a small forested area to explore. Many things to see no matter the season. Free to visit, but there is a donation box that I would recommend adding to if you're able.

So many trails, so many "rooms", so many passages... so many different experiences possible. I think you could come here a dozen times and have a unique experience each time. Amazing that it's free. Not the greatest Japanese garden but very nice. I'd plan to spend 30 minutes to an hour here. Donations accepted.

Beautiful and well maintained memorial in a peaceful cemetery. Maybe not wild of enough for the style of Jimi in life, but a mroeual fitting for him none the less.

This was on my bucket list, so when work took me to Seattle, I stopped here as soon as I left the airport. The grounds and memorial are very well kept, and there are lots of lyrics, etchings, and memories to view while here. It's also nice that other family members are buried here as well. If you're a fan of Jimi's music and want to pay your respects, this is a must-see!

This was the first respects I paid to an iconic, influential and genuine artist Jimi Hendrix. The overwhelming feeling of peace and love and a little something magical about the air. I thought these photos from my 2011 west coast trip had long ago disappeared but stumbled across them a few weeks ago and figured a small belated review and sharing were in order. ✌ Fly on little wing...

Very beautiful unassuming cemetery surrounds this iconic star. Probably hundreds of lipstick stains all over each slab that has his face shows the love people still have for him. Worth stopping by if you're near by

We saw this memorial circa 1999 when we first moved to the area. Visited again in 2021... even better. Recommend a visit. I saw Jimi Hendrix in concert in 1968 and was hooked as a fan. Purple flowers that line the walkway .... a very nice touch. Will post more pics soon.A must see.

It doesn't matter where you stand, it's a powerful feeling from down the walkway, or standing within next to the guitar surrounded by his words. I felt gratitude being there early enough in the morning I got to be alone to take it all in. Appreciate that there is thought of family here so they are together.

I'm a huge Jimi Hendrix fan!! I wish I could've seen/heard him perform live, but I wasn't born yet. It was an absolute must that I visited the memorial while in the Seattle area. The entire grounds were immaculately kept. Mr. Hendrix's memorial was amazing!! I felt his presence. It was a wonderful tribute to the greatest guitarist of all time!!

In 2017, I was burning up the road heading out of country. I'd been from Oklahoma to Florida. Then Florida to Texas, and on to Arizona after that. From Arizona it was on to California, and so on up to Washington. Many times during that ride, Jimi had come up on my iPod. When I stopped in Oregon, and was looking over Seattle for sites to see, I saw that his memorial was in the area. I rode out of Vancouver, OR at 3 or 4 am, and all I played on the way up were his albums. I got to his Memorial a little after the sun rose and spent a some time there paying respects. He was gone too soon, but his voice and words will live on long after I'm gone. Rest in peace.

Very well maintained and beautiful area. Visitors should keep in mind the monument is part of the local cemetery and other members of the Hendrix family are interred there.
Austin B — Google review
If your a big Jimmy Hendric fan or someone who appreciates memorials this is a place for you. It's a georgious monument that lays to rest one of the greatest guitarist of all time. It is georgiously done with a giant guitar in the center and walls with his face and quotes on the polished marble. When I was there it wasn't too buisy so I was able to peacefully reflect on Hendrix and who he was. The memorial shows the love of all his fans as can easily be seen by all the lipstick kisses left on his pictures or the guitar picks left as well. Also inside the main building you can see a special room they have for Hendrix which houses some concept art for his memorial as well as a gold record and a guest book for visitors to sign that once it gets filled up each time it gets sent to his family to remind them how much people still care for him. When visiting thogh keep in mind this is an active cemetery and have other family's grieving over the loss of their loved ones there as well so when visiting it's important to be very respectful and considerate of others who are there as well. Also with that in mind, if you expecting it to be like a museum to Hendrix with gift shop and everything centered around him, you will be disappointed. This is a very historic cemetery that has been around for over 100 years and as you will see when visiting they have many monuments to many people including some gerogious asian inpired monuments as well and just happen to have Hendrix as well. It is free to visit to the public and a great place to help be a little closer to history and remembrance. I would highly recommend to anyone who remembers to show the proper respect and care this place deserves.

My work takes me near the Greenwood Memorial Park cemetery a couple of times a week, right around the break of dawn. The sky in the east turns slightly pink, sprinklers turn on, and the mist makes the memorial appear hovering off the ground. I light up one, and play one of Jimi's songs. It is a nice way to spend one's break.

The Burke-Gilman Trail, a converted railway corridor that stretches over 20 miles through parklands and residential areas, is a versatile multi-use pathway. This pedestrian thoroughfare stands out among interurban routes in various states due to its superior quality. While Portland boasts longer trails, they do not match the excellence of the Burke-Gilman Trail.
Goes a lot of great places! Well-traveled and has some beautiful views.

The segment from Kenmore to Matthews beach is good for walking, running, or biking, as it's flat with minimal crossing streets. The views could be better (it's mostly people's backyards on this segment, to be honest), but it's still a good place for a long walk/ride/run. The trail supports about 3-4 people across, and traffic gets a little high on weekends, so if you go, be sure and mind your trail manners:Bikers - The speed limit is 15 mph and you have to yield to pedestrians. It is not uncommon to get buzzed by packs of road cyclists going way over 15.Runners - Stay to the right, even if the unofficial dirt path you want to run in is on the other side of the trail. I often see people running 2 wide on the left side just so 1 of them can be on the dirt and it creates lots of problems.Walkers - You have ultimate ROW, but please don't abuse it. If you want to stop and chat, move to the side so others can pass.Dog Walkers - Keep your pets close to you and on the right side of the trail if possible. I see near-collisions with dogs almost every time I go out. And please don't hang poop bags on fences.

This “trail” , pedestrian byway is the best interurban route I’ve seen in any state. Portland, Oregon also has some that have longer duration but that are far lower quality. As a basic commuter on foot, or runner or even a person an a cane. If you are looking for a cozy urban woodland feel or a way to avoid traffic as a cyclist, it’s unbeatable in all ways. IT HAS NO LIGHTING after dark so beware to time your trips appropriately or bring the right gear. Bicycle times for trip are almost completely inaccurate. So plan added time for those commutes.

Juanita Bay Park is a stunning 110-acre urban wildlife habitat located in Kirkland. It offers visitors the opportunity to observe a diverse range of wildlife, including over 200 species of birds, beavers, minks, nutria, snapping turtles, and salamanders. The park features 3,000 feet of trails and boardwalks that lead through six different plant communities such as marshlands and open water areas.
A great park for a stroll, getting a few pictures of different birds, and enjoying the calming effect of the boardwalks leading to the waterways.There are numerous small trails, some that take you to little boardwalks the way you can view lots of water birds.Parking is available and restrooms are just as you start the trail.There are no barbecue facilities, however they are multiple park benches where one can relax on.A feature that was key was the number of really good-looking and well groomed trees. A very relaxing Park with lots of bird watchers.

A small wildlife habitat that packs a punch. There are three lookout areas where we saw turtles, geese, jumping fish, and a woodpecker. I was really surprised at how many turtles live here and easily saw over 30 of them. It's worth a stop that will take about an hour of your time if you're just moseying along.

This is one of my fav parks to say hi to the sun-bathing turtles. In the summer, if you walk out on the docks, they are usually chillin' on the logs next to the docks. Pretty park to explore and big open grass hilly area to just relax in the sun or sit on one of the many benches.

Stunning walking area all year round, but May-September is extra special in my opinion. There are two parking areas to access the walking path that circles the preserved wildlife area of Juanita Beach: one at the main Juanita Beach park across from the baseball field, and the other is south of there, on Market st. Parking is tight during great weather so plan accordingly.An easy, spontaneous date idea: grab boba or a slush at Pochi (one of the best boba places that has been around for a long time and finally came to the East Side!), and walk the wildlife preserve trail starting from Pochi, southbound on Market. End at one of the two wooden bridges that leads to the lake on the trail for a fascinating view of the water and wildlife.There are restrooms next to the parking lot on Market st, so there's that bonus.

This is my go to spot for picture taking, since it has lots of wildlife that call the area home. In the summer it's easy to spot eagles, turtles, ducks, heron, and osprey. Every season offers different photographic opportunities! It's also a nice place to get out of doors and enjoy nature. The trails are not long, so if you're looking for a long hike, this really isn't the place to go. However, if you're looking for a peaceful meandering walk, definitely give this a try.

Movies in the park (July-August) is such a fun, family (and dog) friendly summer activity. Parking is on the road between the two roads that access either end of the dog park - it's a bit confusing.

Nice park. I was here to see Cirque du Soleil. Pro tip if you’re seeing the show: Parking in the official lot is $25 but it’s like $1 everywhere else in the park. So go early, enjoy a walk or take some photos, then walk to the show. And spend those savings on something delicious.

This is the best concert venue around. It's easy to get from the parking area to the concert area, the lines at the gate are fast, and it's flat inside. Definitely ADA friendly compared to venues like The Gorge (stunning, but hard to navigate). The little lights in the trees, the food trucks, and the selection of high quality beer and wine (Odin, Chuckanut, Mark Ryan) make this concert venue a top pick for those who enjoy something other than a Vitamin-R. And you can actually get up from your seat and wander over to the stage to check out the performance up close and personal - that isn't possible in most venues!

Marymoor Park is an incredible outdoor concert venue! The open-air setting adds to the experience, and the sound quality is fantastic. Parking is convenient, but be sure to arrive early for the best seating options. The food trucks offer great variety, and there’s easy access to water, which is super convenient. With plenty of porta potties available, long lines are never an issue. Whether it's a local band or a big headliner, this venue never disappoints! Highly recommend catching a show here if you love outdoor concerts.

A great place to take your fully vaccinated pup. There are several places where the dogs can swim, lots and lots of space for them to run free. Pet owners are good about picking up their dogs poop. Parking is good. It gets busy during the weekend, but there are several locations to park. There is a fee to park, $2.00 to receive your ticket to display in your front dash. A fun place for dogs of all sizes.

What an incredible dog park!! we just moved from out of state and everyone told me that this is where they bring their dog and they were not lying. It is a huge beautiful open space. All dogs are off leash and it’s up to owners to ensure that dogs are behaving properly I don’t know if it’s 100% stroller safe throughout the entire park but I did bring my stroller and was able to get a good 40 minutes in with my toddler and my little pup. My toddler did not walk around though and stayed in his stroller the whole time.

As a kid growing up I used to play soccer all the time here. Today it is amazing to see how well developed the ball fields are, not just for soccer, but for other sports as well. When I was a teenager I even took a shot at racing bikes in the velodrome. Over the years the park has matured and now has an incredible off leash dog area, they host live music and other festivals, and it is a great place to take a long walk or bike ride. The terrain is dead flat so it's a great place to take kids and their bikes or scooters.

Visited here while traveling and looking for an area where my dog could run and play with other dogs. The dog area is quite impressive and numerous trails criss-cross through its many acres. Plenty of shade where a well-maintained path follows the river, as well as large grassy fields that are open and less shaded. Several places along the river where steps lead down to the water, allowing dogs and people easy access. While the main area is leash-free, the trail links to an Audubon hiking path that requires your pooch be leashed. Very pretty scenery. There is a self serve dog wash, a grooming truck, and a food truck in the main parking area. Honestly, it was a mini doggie Disneyland.

Marymoor Park is my top park to visit here in Washinton. A notable feature of the park would be the trails that conveniently encircle the neighboring area. These trails are worth exploring in the area and provide an excellent opportunity for exercise and adventure. The park is well-kept. It is worth noting that park workers are consistently actively present within the area. It is important to be aware that this particular park frequently hosts various events and celebrations. Planning your visit accordingly to avoid any potential crowds, parking, or disruptions may be helpful. Bring cash with you to pay for 1 $ parking, If you can find parking. If you want a good parking spot, arrive early. Due to the park's popularity, parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

I've visited Marymoor Park several times, and while it's not my favorite spot, I appreciate its spaciousness and beautiful scenery. However, I'm not a fan of the children's play area. On the plus side, the park offers plenty of parking (although it's paid), excellent trails for biking and skating, and hosts great concerts and cultural events. The park is also easily accessible and has designated areas for various sports and activities. Overall, it's a great place to spend time outdoors, have photo shoots , even if it's not my personal favorite.

Saw Blue October last night at the park. Had a great time. Parking was $20 for the event wich seemed reasonable to me. There was parking attendants there to help keep traffic flowing smoothly. We left early because we just wanted to see Blue October so exit traffic was not an issue. The grounds were well kept and there was plenty of police presence which I thought was great. It was a great night at a great venue. We will definitely be coming back!!

An amazing park. I have been going here for over a decade, and I still haven’t explored the entire park. Mostly, I go to the off leash area, which is the best off leach park in Western Washington, as long as you take into account that it is NOT securely fenced. If you need an off leash area that is securely fenced, this is not the place for you. Because I help people find lost dogs, I have been called to this park at least once a year to help find a lost dog. It is a huge park and there are a million places for a lost dog to hide. If you can trust your dog to not run away, I highly recommend a visit to this park. If your dog likes to swim, then you must go here.This park is not just for dogs, though. It is also an excellent place for bird watching. The herons nest right in the middle of the dog park. There is a huge wetland next to the dog park. If you enjoy watching birds, you could spend the entire day here.It also has a rock climbing thingy, which I have never tried, soccers fields, an air field for drones and RC planes, concerts, and probably other features I don’t even know about.On my most recent visit, I discovered a hidden public place, I don’t even want to tell anyone about. If you have been to this corner of the park, it is really amazing. I hope it stays secret.Also, this park is very clean. Compared to some parks with trash and graffiti everywhere, I can’t remember seeing any trash or graffiti on any of my visits to the park.

Winery
Food & Drink
Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery is a picturesque estate that produces wine and offers tours, tastings, summer concerts, and food pairings. Visitors can enjoy a quick tasting or relax in the sunken garden. Limited edition varieties are available exclusively at the winery, along with widely available options at great prices. Excellent customer service includes allowing customers to taste before buying. Reservations are recommended for all those in the area who want to experience this wonderful winery.
This is one of the nicest wineries site in WA state. They have some good wines but quite mainstream so usually i prefer wine tasting in smaller wineries around. However, they offer outside concerts in summer which are really enjoyable and fun to attend with family or friends. You can bring your picnic, buy wine at the winery and enjoy the concert that way.

For a birthday surprise I reserved the brunch box for a group of 5. Now when we think of brunch we think of a decently filling meal. Let me first say, overall, this place is beautiful and the service was great! Staff were friendly, quick to seat us, and follow up with any of our needs. The 4 mimosas did not disappoint us! Food wise, for the amount I paid I feel like they could offer more food. We all got one chicken/waffle, one sausage, shared yogurt and shared skillet hash browns. We ordered the rest of the food on the side as we were still hungry. The food tasted great. Literally everything had flavor. I wouldn’t do the brunch box again but I will be going back.

Came here on a holiday weekend and got lucky with a walk in tasting! The whole family did the 2 white and 2 red tasting paired with the flight bites, and everything was so great!There were two bonus drinks, one at the start and one at the end, and the bartender helping us gave a great rundown of the wines and where they came from. It’s a perfect place to take parents around Woodinville. Definitely recommend!

Went mainly for a show and it was a beautiful venue especially in the summer and fall. If you have lawn tickets definitely get there early, but that’s a given. The property and its surroundings are pleasant but some of the people around aren’t, but that’s just part of wine country, culture, and costume… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ worth the trip especially if you’re going to go see a show.

Just a great experience all around. You don't even have to be here that long. The tastings are quick. The sunken garden experience we did was very laid back. Parking is a little on the light side. The prices are great, as their varieties are widely available, but their are limited editions only available here as well. The customer service was excellent, as they will let you taste a few to find what you like before buying. I'd advise all in the area to visit. Make reservations!

Defenetly worth a visit! The place is beautiful and impressive, great way to spend an afternoon sipping on wine.🍽 Food is OK, I tried their cheese and meat platter, an artichokes dip which is fantastic🍷 I did a wine flight it was pretty good, I wish they would also give you recommendations on what to order to try your flight with. Wine is delicious by itself but you can also bring out a lot flavor notes by mixing it with food.👤 Service is great, everyone is really nice.🛎 make a reservation because it does get crowded🚻 they have bathrooms🅿️ they offer free parking inside chateau Ste Michelle

Gotta love the Grande Dame of Washington wineries! ♥️ The breathtaking grounds never disappoint and the majestic Chateau is a gorgeous as ever. Summer Concerts here are simply the best. We’ve experienced many concerts here over the years, but this one was a little different. The security now is top notch. They’ve really got it down. We sailed right through and it hardly felt like we even stood in line despite the full crowd. The wine was delicious, of course, that goes without saying. Fun assortment of food vendors too. Was impressed to see new, private viewing cabanas and additional assigned seating, although I don’t think anything could make me give up my beach chairs and picnic basket! Always a good time at Ste Michelle. Susan Says…the show must go on!

This review is for the potential concert goers out there. We had the low-rider lawn chair experience. I'd recommend this for anyone who can physically navigate it. We had a lined blanket and food to share. The venue is sloped so you can see the sage pretty well while seated. The vibe was great and we met a lot of nice people. Plenty of food and beverage options, and of course wine by the glass or bottle. The venue and event staff were professional and helpful. We parked off-site. We were worried that we were at the end of the line when the concert was over, but the line thinned out very quickly because the shuttle utilized coaches rather than minibuses. Would recommend!

An amazing experience! James Taylor concert was out of this world good! I think they need to figure out parking and crowd effectiveness though, seemed a bit cumbersome process but once inside love the venue. Give yourself at least 2 hours ahead of concert and go early!!! Plenty of food and wine while you wait in the beautiful venue. Also members get discounts 🥳

Beautiful spot! The winery is an incredible property, including a concert venue with an awesome summer line up. We had the feature flight, which was affordable ($30) and delicious. We got to try 2 of their whites and 2 of their reds, with an additional bonus pour at the end. Although we didn't make it in time for the tour, we were still able to explore the grounds and various spaces inside.

We have been going to Chateau Ste. Michelle mainly for concerts for the last several years. It’s always a great place to bring friends, family and out of town guests. The venue is located in a beautiful setting, and they run it efficiently.The gardens are nicely manicured, and the wine shop is well organized and clean. Toward the end of the concert, pretty much everyone got up and started dancing. We had a great time and will come back for more concerts. There are a couple parking options for a fee.

Nice-smaller venue, 1st time there for a concert. Pricey!!!! 16 0z. Beer is $16 for a pilsner 😬😳. Food was pricey as well, you are able to bring your own food in as well as re-fillable cups !! They also have a section (at least for this concert) for high back camping chairs. I didn't see that in the Q&A/Things you should know. All I saw was the lower chairs (Tommy Bahamas style) being acceptable.

This place is absolutely amazing. Beautiful and clean park zone: squirrels, deers, geese, ducks. Lots of beautiful flowers and trees. And on the top of that - a lot of different local wines which you can buy in bottles or taste by the glasses. Definitely recommend it!

Wine Tasting Series, Part 4Wineries…in the Pacific Northwest? That would have been news to me if it weren’t for our friends @jnmgoose, @daphae11, and @fred.mougayer. That group of HT Friends (who have coincidentally never been in a room all together…thus far 😉) all recommended that we make the time to visit Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery and are we glad that someone (🫵) finally listened (🤦♂️)!!!While the “Wine Tasting Series” is a relatively new one, a clear favorite has emerged. I mean, what is there NOT to like here?The wine selection is extensive (including bubbly options), there is a calendar of live musical performances, their Summer Concert Series features a shocking number of quality musicians, they offer private Chateau Igloos, and they offer a (limited, but) quality diverse menu of food options.Although we didn’t have the opportunity during our visit, we’d love to experience their “Bubbly Beats Experience” in the future which features curated song playlists linked to specific wine pairings. 🤯Oh, yeah. We are definitely hoping for a return visit. After all, we don’t always drink sparkling wine, but when we do, we prefer Chateau Ste. Michelle Rose. 😉And that’s…Henry’s Take.#pnwwineries

As a local, this winery has always been on my list of places to recommend to my out-of-country and out-of-town family and friends. It is tucked away from the city and welcomes visitors with aesthetically pleasing architecture. After a pleasant wine tasting and estate tour, I decided to join the heritage membership. Overall, our experience was great, and the 90-minute tour felt intimate yet social. I personally learned a lot and was able to get answers to a wide variety of questions. My mom and her friends visited from Beijing, who have been to many wineries in France, Italy, and other countries, even told me they had a better experience at CSM. Additionally, I would like to mention that the menu, while offering wonderful starter options, lacked vegan or gluten-free options for mains. The food served, however, was absolutely incredible.However, as one of the largest wineries in Washington, and perhaps in the US, CSM could benefit from being more culturally diversified and better prepared to cater to international visitors. During our visits to wineries in Europe, they always had interpreters for my Mandarin-speaking parents and friends. At CSM, I had to act as the interpreter for my family. I even joked with my family that I should work there part-time to cater to Chinese groups.Now, I would like to bring up a few incidents that I feel CSM needs to address through necessary surveys, training, and management upgrades. Firstly, I often feel less welcomed as an Asian. I have been asked multiple times to confirm my membership status, while I did not observe the same treatment given to non-Asian visitors. There is a noticeable lack of staff diversity, and I believe there may be unconscious biases that need to be addressed by the management team. Conducting a survey and performing a thorough analysis of the percentage of paying international and Asian American visitors would provide a clear understanding of the decision making and changes. (CSM should aware that their estate is extremely popular spot on the "little red book" social media platform).On one occasion, I had a terrible experience at the Wine Tasting room at the main building (not the standalone one), which led me to write this review. Upon arrival, we were informed that my reservation for tasting had been canceled. I did not cancel this reservation myself. Mistakes can happen, but I felt humiliated as the blame was placed on me. I was extremely frustrated, and the staff had to make phone calls to figure out the issue. There was no immediate resolution, and we were unsure if we would even have a seat. Eventually, we received our wine, but there was no acknowledgement of the mistake, no apologies, or explanations. It made me feel like I was intruding and left me feeling humiliated, especially since I had brought a friend along. Eventually, one of the staff members informed me that they were able to figure out the issue, but they did not take any responsibility on behalf of the winery. I understand that it was not their fault, and they were pleasant, but it highlights a lack of training and communication from cross-functional departments.Despite these incidents, I will continue to visit and bring my family and friends to this beautiful and established estate. However, I do hope to see improvements in their training and management in the near future.

Everything is nice. Feeling rich and like a royal entering a castle with beautiful trees and gardens. But my husband bought a sweater for me against my will because he thinks I’m drunk. I don’t know why he loves to get me stuff everywhere we go. Oh well. Hopefully I didn’t make a big fuss in public. EDIT - The sweater is cool. Maybe my husband has better taste than I thought. Love Chateau Ste. Michelle. Cannot wait to go back.

We recently visited Chateau Ste. Michelle and was thoroughly impressed. The winery's gardens are absolutely stunning, with beautifully cured flowers, lawns, and grass creating a picturesque setting.The selection of wines is fantastic. We tried both the red and white flights and found them to be exceptional. The small bites offered were also delicious, perfectly complementing the wine tasting experience.Overall, Chateau Ste. Michelle provides a wonderful experience with its amazing gardens, excellent wines, and tasty small bites. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Woodinville area. Especially if you have time book other experiences such as tours.

I took my Now fiancé here for her birthday. I reserved the Chateau Picnics. It ambiance was amazing. the The lady who helped us Christy was THE BEST. Everything I needed. She was there and helped me. My girlfriend’s 30th birthdays ended with her being my fiancé. I am truly thankful to Christy because she made my day by making my lady’s day. I proposed by the pond. She also enjoyed the various wines. Today was perfect. I wish the charcuterie board was already layed out and had a nice presentation. I was not a fan of it basically being in a to go box. But the service I received was so amazing it over showed that. Had an amazing time and more importantly my girlfriend turned into my fiancé and she loved her experience. Thank you again Christy. You are THE BEST and I hope I spelled your name correctly because you deserve a bonus or raise

Very disappointing service. We reserved and paid for the flight service, which is supposed to be 4 wine flights with tasting pairings. It took a good 20 minutes from our first pour to getting the tasting food which was really disappointing because the first bland wine really needed the flavor of the food to elevate it. But after 20 minutes we had all finished our first sip so we had to eat the first two bites with the second wine. The third pairing was awful. It had a very earthy (read dirt) flavor. By the time we got our 4th sip/flight of wine the pork belly was cold and inedible. The worst part is there was so much staff just standing around and we had to ask and wait for every little thing, napkins, plates etc. you have to go order any extra food which is a good quarter mile away and very poorly advertised (huge sign that says "kitchen" but it's not). My advice is if you go bring your own blanket/table and set up in the field and be your own service provider. Paying for "service" here is a waste. Our reservation included 90 minutes for our table and they tried to kick us out before our 3rd flight. We left and went to the Mark Ryan tasting room down the street and had MUCH better service and wine TBH. Pics are of the army of "server's" aka standers, folks being paid to chat about nothing while our food got cold.

Great venue for concert and wine lovers.You can order wine online and have it shipped to your home.Concert tickets through ticket master.Parking is a little tricky. They have parking on site however you have to purchase parking early as it sold out fast. Or you can drive to the park nearby about 500 feet to park and walk to the concert.To me ride share or have your friends/ family drop off and pick works better than driving. Chateau Ste. Michelle parking is very slow to get out. Ppl honked at each other, just because they’re being impatient and have a little wine. Definitely not a friendly place to take kids here for concert.They have wine by glass, food and water for you to purchase before and during concert.Lawn seating tickets are cheaper, but you have to go early to claim a good spot.Chairs seating area is nice but more expensive.Bring blankets or umbrellas depending on the weather. But I can get cold at night.Cooler is the best to bring in your own snack and drinks.

If you are looking to have winery experience in town without driving far, this is the best & most Beautiful property. They used to have a Free walk tour and wine tasting about 1/2 hour, but now not anymore. There are so many great things about it and you can easily spend 3 hours here: you can walk around inside the Chartaeu, wine display & selling areas; outside the entire property: the gazebo, the pond, the vineyard and concert areas. And the parking is free. The Ste. Michelle Brut Rosé wine is about $20, good to grab one and try. Highly recommended.

My jaw dropped when I walked into this place! Endless options and loved the gift shop entrance. We were greeted by the hostess and they asked what we were looking for in tastings. We wanted a variety so we were guided to the Enoteca upstairs. James was our winery host and really helped assist us in andwering our questions and making sure we knew about the different options and tastings. I REALLY enjoyed 14 Hands options from dessert to dinner pairings. My husband fell in love with Erath the pinor. This stop is a must see!

We saw Gregory Alan Isakov (and some other guy) here, and it was a great show. Lovely venue, delicious food (pricey). We sat in the plastic seat section, and were comfy. The sound quality isn't great... It sounds as if someone previously blew out the bass, so it's a bit muddy and crackly. But still a great show. Wine, beer, and frose available. Wine starts at $30/bottle, beer at $16/bottle. You can bring in your water bottle and fill it at the filling stations. The porta potties are clean and plentiful. There are certain areas of the grass sections that would be really fantastic seating, but you'd have to get there early. We did the $20 parking lot with the included shuttle, and that was great. All staff were friendly and helpful. Beautiful location trees all around.

Columbia Winery, located in Woodinville, WA, is a renowned destination in the local wine country. It serves as a popular spot for various events such as weddings and corporate functions. The venue offers excellent food and top-notch wines that attract visitors from near and far. Visitors can also enjoy wine and cheese tasting classes with knowledgeable staff providing insights into the different types of wines available. The facility's ambiance is wonderful, making it an ideal place to savor some of the best wines around.
We were so fortunate to be able to take the wine and cheese tasting class with Shelly Fitzgerald in her final version of it prior to the facility closing. Shelly was fantastic and so were the wines and cheeses. The other 3 couples in the class were also super nice which made the whole experience even better. The facility is wonderful and it's surprising that Gallo, who is purchasing Columbia is not also taking ownership of the building. If you can squeeze in a visit prior to closing, I highly recommend it. Thanks Shelly and good luck with you new adventures.

My husband came here earlier this year and absolutely loved it. The lady was very nice and knowledgeable. We ended up joining the wine club. My husband used his email and he got an email but after that we NEVER received anything. My husband called and left a voicemail and still never heard anything.Our payment never went through. Months went by. We thought okay, I guess we will leave it alone and never go back. Another few months go by and I got a call saying something went wrong and the email address that we provided was entered wrong. But my husband did get the first one. They were nice and gave us free wine but by then we were like nope! Disappointed because it’s a cute winery but because of that they lost us as customers.

Nice place but you kinda get kicked out(pretty much) after finished wine testing. I asked a lady if we could stay seated little more after we paid for testing and also purchased a bottle of wine.. she said we can’t “Due to next appointment people” reason. and there was so many other tables. So if you don’t want to be rushed, drink it slow lol I guess. Or maybe we didn’t buy membership that’s why..? Anyway There’s so many other good wineries to go :) It was good enough to try once.

The world famous Columbia Winery is situated in the heart of local wine country in Woodinville, WA. Popular tourist site is also a nice special event venue for weddings, corporate functions, large catered private parties, etc. The food is excellent as one should expect. The staff is friendly, courteous, professional and all smiles. Of course, the wine is stellar and that's what draws people from near and far to smell and taste some of the best wine around. The entrance and overall grounds are less impressive than its wine, especially compared to the grand Chateau Ste. Michelle winery directly across the street. Also check out other wineries in the neighborhood like JM Cellars, Novelty Hill-Januik Winery and DeLille Cellars. Book several nights at the famous Willows Lodge where you'll also feast on Pacific Northwest style cuisine, enjoy luxury spa service and literally walk to all of the wineries. All in all, worthy of a visit to this Washington State staple. Book your special event now. Cheers 🍷

Tina C — Google review
Many other reviews mention the fancy, beautiful atmosphere. These are spot on. I was not surprised to learn that this is a popular wedding venue. I was also not impressed with our visit. We stopped in early in the afternoon, and were told we needed to make a reservation (the place was NOT busy, but there are still restrictions due to COVID, so maybe that was it). We made a reservation for a tasting later that afternoon.We arrived three minutes early for our reservation, and were told to wait by a window. Around three minutes later, we had a server come in and seat us. I can't imagine what the point of waiting three minutes was. Just like earlier, the place was NOT busy.We arrived to our table to four matching selections for a tasting for the four of us. Each of us agreed that at least two of the selections were not something that we would have selected. I'd never been served a wine flight that I had no input on before.Overall, we felt that Columbia seemed a little pretentious, especially as the wines we tried were not that great. There was at least one of each of ours that we didn't finish, and there was one in particular that was truly disappointing. There are other venues in the area (one VERY close) that we've enjoyed more.

I didnt realize this casino still allows indoor smoking. The ventilation system does an "ok" job, but you can still smell the smoke as you walk through. The cafe wasn't as great as I was hoping based on previous reviews I read. Underwhelming and disappointing. My breakfast bowl tasted like everything was from a can, with a few spices to try and freshen it up. I do not recommend

I think I need a redo I went on a weekday day morning since I wouldn't be able to go over the weekend. It was very spacious clean and super friendly staff. It was pretty uneventful since it was fairly early. Haven't been to casinos outside of Vegas (its prohibited in my residing state) so not sure if free alcohol drinks is a common thing at most casinos but not here that I could gather. There was little eats and lounges along the wall. But most were just opening up or still closed all together. But they did have a designated spot where you could get complementary coffee and soda from the fountains. I enjoyed the exterior scenery more nature little creek trees ect. Also not sure where they were coming from/going to but they had their own charter bus and a little shuttle that could be helpful.

Solid casino that offers plenty of parking.Be aware they allow indoor smoking of cigarettes, but their parking lot outside of the parking garage is patrolled by security, and they didn’t have a problem with me sleeping in my camper there overnight.Plenty of live gambling games and tons of virtual games as well as few restaurants inside with a range of prices. Solid!

This could be a really nice spot if they went smoke-free. If you're not a smoker, when you walk in the door, you feel like one and start coughing. The shows were nice.

There are many people on weekends, but there is no smoking area and non-smoking area in the casino. In summer it is very hot and airless. The food at the fall buffet is pretty standard. From salads to entrees and desserts, everything was delicious and fresh, and the service was superb.

My recent visit to Snoqualmie Casino left me thoroughly impressed. The staff was incredibly friendly, making me feel welcomed from the moment I stepped through the doors. Not only that, but the entire casino was impeccably clean, maintaining a high standard of hygiene that is especially reassuring in today’s environment.One aspect of the casino that I particularly enjoyed was the cigar lounge. It felt like a home away from home, providing a cozy atmosphere where I could relax and unwind. The attention to detail in the club’s design and amenities truly made it a standout feature of my experience at Snoqualmie Casino.Overall, I highly recommend Snoqualmie Casino to anyone looking for a welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, and a clean environment. Whether you’re there for the gaming or to enjoy the amenities like the cigar lounge, you’re sure to have a fantastic time.

It's not a winners night every night. It seems we win a lot less led often but I'll give kudos where deserved. They make so far better effort at promotional events than other local casinos. But they've all gotten stingy. I recommend going for lunch or dinner or music but gambling as a side event fur you day. Then it won't be so disappointing win you walk out with zero winnings most times. The good is great. Enjoy. I keep going back for fun... hoping.

Our visit to Snoqualmie Casino was nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment we stepped in, the ambiance was electrifying, setting the perfect tone for the evening. We started with a sumptuous steak dinner that was simply divine—the flavors, the presentation, and the top-notch service all exceeded our expectations.But the real thrill came when we moved to the non-smoking section to try our luck at the slots. Within the first ten minutes, I hit an astonishing $2,700 jackpot, followed soon after by another $1,400 win! We were on cloud nine, barely able to believe our incredible luck.The atmosphere in the casino was lively and vibrant, and the staff couldn't have been more friendly and attentive. By the end of the night, we were over $3,000 ahead, even after a lavish meal and generous tips.Snoqualmie Casino gave us an unforgettable experience that we can't wait to repeat. If you're looking for an exciting and rewarding night out, this is the place to be. Five stars, without a doubt!

I had an amazing experience at Snoqualmie Casino! From the moment I arrived, the staff was top-notch. Lisa at the players card table was incredibly helpful and made the whole process smooth and enjoyable. She went out of her way to ensure I had everything I needed.The bartender was also fantastic, offering great service and making excellent drink recommendations. It really added to the overall experience.I also tried the buffet, and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious with a great variety to choose from. I highly recommend checking it out if you're at the casino.Overall, the service at Snoqualmie Casino is outstanding. I will definitely be back!you received.

Great casino. Great atmosphere, and food. Only thing i dislike is that after midnight there cafe only serves a super limited late night menu.Great variety of games, and because its so far up in the mountains and away from cities you dont really have alot of the smoked out drug addicts and homeless people hanging out. So thats definitely greatly appreciated.And all of these pics and videos are proof that you dont always loose at the casino!!!!!

Even though the Casino has gaming, you still have the opportunity to sit, eat, chat, and be social. Such a comfortable environment.The Lit Lounge is unique as it is the only cigar lounge of this caliber and setup in the county, if not the State. Even Las Vegas does not have a similar facility.The food is also excellent with consistent service at the Falls Buffet and Falls Cafe. Where there are wonder cafe dishes, the pizza is the best.The Bar in the center of the casino is a landmark of the facility and the staff make it a place to be comfortable and welcoming.Thank you for a comfortable, and very chill, environment to relax and take in the company of friends.

Great all-you-can-eat dinner buffet, I have to do Gluten-free and the staff was great about knowing which items I could have. Over half of the full menu was available which is much better than most places. The staff is friendly and keeps the drinks flowing at the table and finished items are taken away quickly. The valet parking made arriving and leaving a breeze the staff was also amazing in that area. Lots of sectioned-off areas, so if you prefer non-smoking the areas are clean and comfortable. Staff is around to answer questions or available for short chats with any questions you have, the views of the valley are great when you take a walk about.

It's nice. Valet was free for me the Sunday I went, maybe it's always free I don't know for sure. I had a couple drinks in the bar before having the buffet. Drinks are good and good price. The buffet was just okay, but so also good price. I wish the non smoking areas were more prevalent and/or the air was better circulated. They need better signage navigating around the property for the parking garage. The gas station was nice and friendly staff everywhere.

I come here purely for the restaurants and for the view (which can be viewed from the parking lot top levels or any of their dining options excluding the market) The casino is very clean and service at all of the restaurants are fantastic. Great staff!Smoke smell is a bit overwhelming sometimes but they have generally good air filtration systems I think. Not a place to bring young kids even if you're just visiting restaurants since the second hand smoke is bad for the lungs. I personally wear a mask indoors while going through the machine areas anyways.Really enjoy coming here in the winter months and seeing fantastic views of snow dusted cascade mountain range while dining. There's also lots of birds around here, we usually get to see hawks as well!

This was my first casino I made a trip to and as we always say - first impressions are the best ones this place has that in my mind for ever. The casino restaurant serves one of the best burgers around WA when it comes to veggies - the Boca burger, I sometimes just make a trip to this casino to have that. They also have a few vending machines for free including coffee and some soft drinks. They are expanding further so make sure you check the parking pathways as they have left them a little confusing.

Snoqualmie Casino is one of the most well known Casinos in Washington State. Of all Casinos here. My Family & I prefer to Play and Dine in Snoqualmie. Every visit I have here is a Positive one, from having fun on the floor to eating at their Lovely Restaurants like 12 Moons. I highly recommend this place for all including Families. Their Decor and Designs are Unique & Elegant in comparison. Staff here is the Friendliest. The Enironment is Welcoming to be around and the drive East on a Sunny Day is Beautiful. Thank you for the Years of Memories and God Bless Snoqualmie Casino!

We were passing through the area yesterday on our way to the coast. We stopped for an early dinner and hit up the buffet. We don’t gamble so no thoughts on the gambling scene.Staff: 5⭐️- Our server, host, cashier, elevator attendant, bathroom attendant and every employee we interacted with was professional, polite and courteous.Vibe: 3.5⭐️- While having dinner we were constantly subjected to this loud and obnoxious announcement over the PA system. it appears they have some sort of recurring drawing. Announcements in the main casino make sense, but not where I’m trying to enjoy my meal. I found it off putting.- Great views from the buffet and sushi restaurant located in the casino.Food 4⭐️- My family opted for Mongolian. We all had salad and I had prime rib. The Mongolian would be better with more sauce options. Salad bar was classic and we all enjoyed it. The Prime Rib was well seasoned and cooked properly. I don’t eat much red meat but I found it to be nice treat.- Originally from the South, I’ve eaten my fair share of potato salad. I’m sorry, but that potato salad is too sweet.Some questions/thoughts- I did not see any dishes native to the tribe. Perhaps I missed them, pardon me if that’s the case. I’ve experienced food culture across the world, I would like to experience more here in the PNW with our indigenous tribes.- A fry bread station would be amazing. Say a a server fries your bread in front of you and to one side is dessert options and the other is protein and vegetables. I mean that seems like a no-brainer.Food is so deeply tied to culture. I would love to experience a buffet that will showcase those dishes.

The Northwest Railway Museum, Snoqualmie Depot, is a restored 1890 depot that offers a captivating glimpse into the railway history of the Snoqualmie Valley. It houses an extensive collection of artifacts, locomotives, and equipment at its two locations: the historic depot in town and the Train Shed Exhibit Hall. Visitors can embark on a historic journey on the Snoqualmie Valley Railroad to North Bend and through the picturesque Snoqualmie Valley to Snoqualmie Falls.
Definitely a place to take your kids! I came on a quiet weekend and wasn't crowded at all. My first time here was when my grandparents took me on my first stream locomotive ride through here.A saw mill rail cart initially caught my eye and I wanted to check it out. The tree was a nice 10-12 feet across. It's pretty spectacular that there was so much old growth that was that big back in the day. Back at the depot, they have an assortment of engines and passenger cars that you can take a look at. There is also a book store and museum!If you want to take a walk, head west along the main road (there is a walking trail) and you'll come across a lot of vintage rail engines with interesting histories and purposes.On the weekends after April to December, they offer train rides that I believe go down to Snoqualmie falls from the North Bend depot that pass through here. A Thomas train and a Christmas train also run at other times of the year.

We came to see the 924 on a steam train weekend recently and had a great ride. Unfortunately our ride started a bit late, so our time at the train shed (the more museum like part) was cut pretty short. We still had fun exploring and just riding the train though. We would have liked to learn more about the train we were on, but apparently that's not part of the package (at least for those steam train versions.) A great day either way! It was nice to see Snoqualmie Falls at one end of the line and grab a few pictures through the trees.

The museum is nice and it has old artifacts and items from when it was built. It also had some stories to tell which really intrigued us. We didn't get a chance to ride the train but we explored the place and read the history of it. It's definitely one of the great stops you can take at the town.Parking is plentiful you just have to be lucky to get a close one to the town or have to walk for a bit.

Nice historic place in the downtown with old train engines parked here, kids can enjoy the view of the train engines, you can spend 30 to 40 minutes here. My kid enjoyed seeing the large train engines, also there is a room where toy trains are kept for kids, outside you can see good fall colors as well. Parking lot is right opposite the museum on the road side itself.

I'd like to start by thanking the very kind woman at the desk! We were late to our scheduled time. Without us asking, she offered to get us on the next day! Next.....

The website makes it seem way more fun and exciting than it actually was. We didn't really see the waterfall due to all the trees in the way. So if you really want to see the waterfall, I recommend going to the viewpoint instead. Also, the train doesn't go very fast since it is 100 years old. We payed $84 dollars for 2 kids and 2 adults, and in my honest opinion it is NOT worth it. You are not allowed to even stand up or move around when the train is moving, even though it doesn't go faster than 10 mph. So if you have little kids who can't sit still, don't go. The 2 hour "excursion" consists of not seeing a waterfall, stopping multiple times to pick up other passengers, and stopping one time at the museum for 30 minutes. The rest of the time you have to stay seated and watch the trees and cars go by. Honestly wish I could get my money back.

This was a nice little experience! The train ride was not as long or as fun as I expected but it was a calm and easy ride. My family and I started from the snoqualmie stop and it took us to north bend and back, the total ride was about an hour and a half, but that’s because we stopped at the museum. The museum was very small but had lots of fun train facts. Good for a one time experience.

if you ever visited Seattle and missed this place, you’re definitely missing big attraction. This is absolutely gorgeous attraction in that area. Kind of remind you back your childhood.I recommend plan your trip and buy your tickets and advance. You’ll be shocked to see a lot of people over the weekend Wanna come and visit this attraction with their family. .there are a lot of good hiking places waterfall parks around this area so don’t rush when you come here. Enjoy mother nature in full extent.I only visited once, but my kids are ready to go back again also one of the best fall scenic view around this area so much colorful can even explain

Restrooms.Nice building, nice design.

I would not say this train ride was worth the price. To me, it almost felt like a train ride with no destination. We basically just rode to the top of the falls, and then returned back towards the station, stopped at the museum, dropped people off at their station, and headed back to our station to get off. The museum was quite small and you could get through it fairly quickly. I think the only reason the trip takes a while is because the train moves slowly and stops a couple of times. I’d recommend walking through all the cars because there’s some pretty cool ones and some that are in rough shape. Pretty sure kids would enjoy this more than adults.

Its a good place for kids to experience and see the train system. My kiddo enjoyed it as she was sitting in the train for the first time, they have 1 hr train ride which is okay but I feel its bit pricier as compare to the offerings because not great views at train route except snowqualmie falls and a 30 min stop at little train museum but kids definitely gonna enjoy it if sitting for the first time. You can roam around and explore if you are interested in history.

Nice historical location. There are quite a few unique old railway trains out here which you can see. Some of the cool ones are behind a fence though, where others you can get closer to. The original station and lumber history is in great shape, and this is a place that any train enthusiast should see. The door to the old station happened to be Open when we came (not sure if it is always open). And there was some cool electronics which lay out the train track routes and various gates which they could travel through. Some antique carriage, baggage, photographs and other trivia were inside the old station as well. For any train buff, this is well worth the stop. My grandfather would have loved seeing historic train stuff like this.

Snoqualmie Falls is a well-known and scenic waterfall, standing at 270 feet tall and surrounded by a 2-acre park. Visitors can enjoy the breathtaking view from an observation deck or venture down to the lower viewing platform. The site is easily accessible by car, located just 40 minutes away from Seattle, with free parking available on the other side of the road or paid parking closer to the site.
Beautiful, picturesque waterfall, next to a hotel. Certainly worth visiting. Make sure that the weather is clear before coming.

Nice falls. Had a great trek on a trail, it is a little steep but worth the trek. The views from top and foot of the falls are great. Great spot for some quite time or just to have a beer river side. Sometimes too many people could make it disturbing but generally it is a peaceful place.

Stunning views! Visiting from out of state and just happened to stumble upon this amazing waterfall. You can view the falls from a lookout above or you can follow the trail and see the falls from below. Ample parking in the later evening. The hike down to the lower viewing was pretty steep. Paid parking right in front but free parking across the street.
Marc P — Google review
The place is beautiful, the trails are expansive, and there is a place to buy gifts and food. If you are going to walk the trails, please be mindful that what goes down must come up. Save your energy for your trip back up, or you will end up very tired. There are a lot of steep parts to the trails, so those parts are not for inexperienced walkers. Please obtain a map or something if this is a concern.

Today was a beautiful day to see this! Absolutely breathtaking. Some of the stairs are closed off from the upper lot but just walk down a different path and you'll catch the 1/2 mile trail sign. Coming back up might be difficult for some, if you started from the upper lot. I'd recommend parking at the lower lot and walk along the trail/bridge (4th picture) to get to the falls.

We visited the falls on our vacation to Seattle. We came on a Friday afternoon at around 2 pm. Had a good amount of foot traffic but not terribly busy. Enjoyed the falls as it is a popular tour destination. Interesting to see its history. Worth seeing if you are in the area. Nice little park area to sit or enjoy a small picnic covered by trees. Nice plants around the area too. They have a gift shop full of souvenirs and books and such. Also a coffee/snack shop with ice cream. We were there for about 1-1.5 hrs. Google maps will take you to a restricted access road. Follow the local signs when you are there.

A perfect mini day trip while visiting Seattle. It’s about a 45 minute drive from downtown and right off of the freeway. Very easy to find, free parking, easy 1.4 mile round trip hike (the return is quite steep). If you can’t do the hike, there’s an observation platform to get a nice view. This is not an all day excursion; it’s a perfect amount of time to get away from the city and soak up some nature for a couple of hours. You can easily venture to the falls in the morning and be done by noon and have the rest of the day.

Beautiful scenery! Simply breathtaking. The view is amazingly calming. For a Saturday parking was bad at all. We paid $8.30 for 2 hours. The only thing is that it’s scan to pay. The waterfall is easily seen from the top and couple other watch points. We hiked down and found a beautiful place where we sat on the rocks and let the kids play in the water . Totally worth the trip!

I’m from the east coast. Yes we have Niagara Falls, but the west coast is just so much better. This was one of the most unique and interesting places I have been. I was in Seattle for work but snuck in a few trips here and there to check things out. This was so worth the drive out there. The trees in the area are huge, nothing like what have on the east coast. The falls a big, the sound and mist are very beautiful. If you are anywhere near Seattle make the trip here to see them. The walk from the parking area is very easy. Walking to the bottom of the falls is not. One must be in decent shape to make it down and back up again. Take your time, stop and enjoy the sights, and soak up a little nature.

Breathtaking Natural Beauty. My visit was an unforgettable experience that left me in awe of nature's beauty. This iconic destination, located in the heart of Washington State, offers stunning scenery, excellent facilities, and a serene atmosphere that makes it a must-visit spot for both locals and tourists.Spectacular Views: The sheer beauty is truly breathtaking. The 268-foot waterfall cascades powerfully into the river below, creating a mesmerizing sight that captivates visitors. The viewing platforms provide perfect vantage points to take in the magnificent falls, and the sound of the rushing water adds to the overall immersive experience. Whether you visit on a sunny day or in misty weather, the falls offer a spectacular view that is both exhilarating and calming.Well-Maintained Facilities: The facilities are excellent. The park is well-maintained, with clean restrooms, ample parking, and well-marked trails. The pathways and viewing areas are accessible and thoughtfully designed, making it easy for visitors of all ages and abilities to enjoy the falls. The informative signs and displays provide interesting historical and environmental insights, enhancing the educational value of the visit.Beautiful Trails and Surroundings: In addition to the falls, the surrounding area is equally beautiful. The park features well-kept trails that wind through lush forests, offering scenic walks and the opportunity to enjoy the diverse flora and fauna of the region. The trails vary in difficulty, catering to both casual walkers and more experienced hikers. The tranquil surroundings make it a perfect place for a peaceful nature walk or a more adventurous hike.Visitor Center and Amenities: The visitor center at Snoqualmie Falls is a great resource, providing maps, information, and a small gift shop with local souvenirs. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, eager to help with any questions or provide recommendations for exploring the area. There are also picnic areas available, making it a wonderful spot to enjoy a packed lunch with family or friends while taking in the stunning views.Photography Opportunities: For photography enthusiasts, Snoqualmie Falls is a dream destination. The dramatic landscape offers endless opportunities for capturing stunning photos, whether you're aiming for wide-angle shots of the falls or close-ups of the surrounding nature. The changing light throughout the day adds to the photographic appeal, making it worth visiting at different times.In summary, it is a natural wonder that offers an experience with its breathtaking views, well-maintained facilities, beautiful trails, and excellent visitor amenities. It is a perfect destination for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone looking to experience the awe-inspiring beauty of the Pacific Northwest. I highly recommend visiting Snoqualmie Falls for an unforgettable and enriching outdoor experience.

I love that there are different viewing platforms and you can travel up or down and you can get a great view of the falls from below. The only thing you have to pay for is parking there is a free parking area but it's really difficult to get parking in there. The two times that I have gone I have not been able to park in the free parking area. Also the free parking area gives you much longer of a walk to get back to your vehicle. The second time I went I was able to actually go in the gift shop area, I was kind of sad to see that they don't allow pets inside I understand because there is food being served but they do allow your pets to be on the outside porch unless the outside porch is closed. Even though I'm a strong believer of not paying for parking I still really enjoy the experience and the two hours is plenty for you to be able to get to the top of the falls and the bottom of the falls and back to your vehicle before the 2 hours runs out.

As the summer’s warmth gently fades, nature prepares for its grand finale, the breathtaking spectacle known as fall. From the majestic mountains to the serene valleys, the landscape undergoes a magnificent transformation, painting the world with a palette of vibrant hues.

Snoqualmie Falls, both by day and night, stands as a beautiful, majestic, magnificent, and mesmerizing 270ft waterfall. Surrounded by lush greenery, it presents a serene yet powerful spectacle. I've visited this waterfall multiple times, enjoying views from both the top and the bottom deck.

Wonderful little hike to the bottom of the falls. It's a beautiful area and I highly recommend a visit.

Snoqualmie Falls is a stunning natural wonder and a must-visit if you’re in the Seattle area! The falls are absolutely breathtaking, especially after rainfall when the water flow is strongest. There are several viewing platforms, each offering great views of the 268-foot waterfall. The park is well-maintained, with easy-to-navigate trails, picnic areas, and plenty of spots to take photos. The short hike down to the lower observation deck is worth it for a closer view. It’s a peaceful, scenic spot that’s perfect for a day trip, whether you’re hiking or just soaking in the beauty. Highly recommend for nature lovers!”

Maybe a top-5 favorite place (and town) for me in Seattle vicinity. Great place to spend a day here and in the old logging community (aka Twin Peaks) town next door. Park next to visitor center is 7.00 for 2 hours, and 5.00 for each hour after. Park across the street (to the right side) lots, and parking is FREE, and you can easily walk over (not hard for handicapped, with the bridge to help out). Walking to the Waterfall Overlook(s) is easy, and handicapped friendly ramps! Walking down to the river is mostly gravel and dirt, and very steep. It will take some effort coming back up, so not senior or wheelchair friendly unless you are in excellent shape! The views are spectacular! So easy to get to and fun. The visitor center is nice too, with a Coffee Shop that has Great sandwiches and baked goods too. Worth a stop. Highly recommend for out of town folks!

It was a great hike and beautiful view of the falls. It is about a mile long with more strenuous hike on the way back. It is able to be done with kids. Highly recommend.

One of the best falls I’ve seen before from the top and the bottom. Great weekend trip for the family, just know the hike to the bottom of the falls is easy, but it should be known what goes down must go back up. So be prepared, but know there are countless stops to catch your breath. Can get pretty busy on beautiful summer days, but that should be expected.
Joshua B — Google review
A cool hiking route with a fantastic finale. In summer the path is a bit dry and dusty, so I recommend going 1-2 days after the rain to get an even more “rainforest” experience. At the end, great access to the river. But be careful with the stones to avoid tripping. Cold water, but brave souls won't regret going for a swim. Will never be forgotten by me!

Snoqualmie Falls is an absolute stunner! The powerful cascade is breathtaking and the surrounding area is beautiful. The short hike to the falls is easy and accessible, making it perfect for families. There's a gift shop and plenty of parking. Be prepared for crowds, especially on weekends. It's a popular spot for good reason! Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

Wow, wow, wow!!! From California and I was amazed at how beautiful this waterfall was. Maybe I am easily awed!! From the lodge, it’s a short walk to viewing area. From there, you can keep going and continue down to the river access. It is about .50 mile hike downhill with beautiful trees, ferns, and so much more. Down by the river you get another perspective/view of the fall.Once you walk back up (it’s about 10 minutes) up hill. You’re gonna want to go grab something to eat. I highly recommend Copperstone Family Spaghetti Restaurant. Really good atmosphere and FOOD. I had the fettuccine Alfredo with meatballs.

Easiest place to visit if you are in seattle region. Parking could be problematic as it gets crowded easily. Great views and would recommend visiting the museum and lower falls view point as well.

A must if you are in Seattle. Nestled in the woods of Snoqualmie. Ample of parking, nice cafe to chill after the brief hike down towards the river of Snoqualmie Falls. There are wild black berries during the summer so if you need a snack, they would be good. You can dip your feet in the water, skip some rocks, or maybe take some epic photos with some friends. Please respect the land and don't litter.

Wow. Breathtaking. What’s not to love about this place. Seeing the sunset here was amazing. Parking lot is close and the walk is short. You can walk down to the lower viewpoint of the falls but be prepared to walk back up, otherwise you can drive to the bottom where there’s also river access. Just a 30-40 minute drive from Seattle, I wouldn’t miss this place.

In terms of waterfalls it's not that big, but the surrounding nature is very beautiful. There is a paved walkway to admire the waterfall but there is also a moderate to kind of severe hike to the bottom of the falls that is not paved. Just some dirt and rocks and it can get pretty steep at some points.I wouldnt call it steep to where it's dangerous but it is steep enough to where the average person might have difficulties walking down and return back uphill.Someone in my group in her 50s did it in flip flops and I saw multiple children so it though, so it is possible.The hike is totally worth it to see all the trees and wonderful sights along the way.

Not only is the drive up to Snoqualmie Falls incredibly refreshing to look at, you feel the difference in the air quality of the mountains immediately. This waterfall is absolutely breathtaking!!! The preservation of nature after years of using the waters power for electricity is 👌👌👌The trail down to the lower falls is easy enough the whole family can most likely handle it ( steady incline on the way back up) . If you have the time to stay or dine at Salish Lodge you can’t go wrong there either.

A mesmerizing waterfall . A perfect destination for a day trip just 40 mins from Seattle downtown.There are upper and lower view platforms of the waterfall that u can visit. Both the places have free parking. And not much walking is required to get a view.

The Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum, located in a restored hangar, features an impressive collection of military aircraft and weapons from the years 1935 to 1945. The museum boasts top-notch facilities and showcases vintage aeroplanes in excellent condition. Its staff are highly knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the exhibits on display. It is undoubtedly one of the world's premier collections of significant military equipment, providing a vital legacy for future generations to appreciate.
My favorite aviation museum in the whole world! I met a docent named Arthur Unruh there, who was the most friendly and inspiring man I have ever met! It's just so powerful to see these WW2 planes up and close and personal! Not to mention also getting to see them fly in the air for free! This place is like a second home to me 😌

If you have the chance to visit this museum, I highly recommend it. took my family to the fly days and other events (Wine night and Tanktober-fest). I live down the road from this place and took it for granted, then the pandemic hit and closed it for 3 years. Then with new ownership, I thought this impressive collection was lost to the area. But it remains for the time being. Visit and appreciate the awesome collection. Hopefully they continue to do demonstrations whether it's the tanks or planes.

Found this museum by accident, and I am so glad we did! This is one of the most extensive exciting museums we have ever been to.I don't want to spoil all the incredible things to see here, but definitely add it to your list.We will be back the next time we are in the area. My 14 yr old son, who is way into airplanes and history, was blown away. Especially the 1 of 1 and 1 of the few planes. He recognized them before we even got close to them. I loved it.

This place is absolutely awesome the facilities are five-star and the quality of the vintage aeroplanes is the best I have ever seen in the whole world. They have pretty much every single significant military aircraft and weapon on display in pristine condition.

I went to the grand reopening of this amazing museum. You get to wander 3 hangars of pure wonder and history. I had an amazing day returning after 3 long years away, they have three opportunities to watch demonstrations of their tanks. I highly recommend going here to support them!Pictured: CORSAIR, B-25, P-51 MUSTANG and the SPITFIRE

Great museum with some planes that are the last of their kind. Most of the planes and tanks are fully operational. I was told that in the past, and hopefully in the future, some of these planes and tanks are flown/driven in demonstrations on holidays, including firing the tanks (with blanks). There is an interactive educational section as well. The docents were friendly and helpful with a decent amount of knowledge.

I took my 5-year-old grandson on Saturday!! That was my first time ever visiting the museum as well as him we both had a great time seeing all the different tanks helicopters planes even saw the atomic bomb. This museum is huge they have three different buildings along with picture slideshows telling you all about the war and the effects that war has on the world along with videos of sunken warships that have been found over the years very educational

What an amazing day. I was expecting a couple of hangers with a few restored war birds. Boy, was I wrong! They actually have more ground vehicles than aircraft now (mostly tanks), but this takes nothing from the aviation and historical information. The theater, and interactive history of war (touch screens, audio-visual presentations, etc) is amazingly well done, and the pictorial timelines meticulously laid out on the walls are visually stimulating and educational. I was surprised at some of the artifacts that were on display, but you should just see for yourself!The highlights of my visit were the stories behind some of the aircraft and the associated people, as shared by Rick. His passion for the history of both the aircraft and the museum made for a very special day. I got to learn a lot about the back stories of the aircraft, as well as the people associated with them. I will definitely be making the trip back to be there for an upcoming flight day! Thanks again to Rick for the outstanding tour!!

The best collection of WW II warbirds that I've seen since Planes of Fame in Chino. Meticulously restored, airworthy historical planes. The ground combat vehicles were nice to see, but I came to see the planes. Only gripe is having to endure inappropriately loud visitors that pushed me aside & talked about things unrelated to the museum.
Steven C — Google review
Wow what a great way to spend a few hours. It's a great mix of planes--a mind-blowing number of which still fly--and vehicles. The displays are well-described on plaques and banners. And there are several roving volunteers to answer questions. We had great conversations with David who knew his stuff and was the friendliest guy we met all week. Highly recommended. Be sure to look through the fence at the new green Boeings and the military ramp.

Absolutely great museum! My son’s favorite (and mine). It has a terrific combination of tanks and guns along with planes! The volunteers were very knowledgeable and enjoyable to visit with. They brought a lot of practical knowledge to my amateur way of looking at war. They even have one of three tanks that were cut in half to see what it is like inside a tank. Reasonably priced

As a huge Battlefield and World War II fan, I couldn't believe I could get up close and personal with all my favorite WWII vehicles somewhere on Earth. I only planned a 2-hour visit to this museum, but I was so wrong. You could easily spend a whole day here. What's even more amazing is that all the vehicles here are actually operational.You guys are doing a fantastic job!

Amazing museum. The planes are well preserved and the majority in flight condition. There is one Junkers Stuka in restoration being exhibited. In the entrance, you can see an amazing B-25. In front of it, there is an English de Havilland Mosquito bomber. All aircraft are well preserved. The nice thing about this museum is that the voluntary guides are crazy about airplanes (like me). It totally worth spending the day visiting and talking with the guides.

Definitely a must visit place if you are looking for historical artifacts around WWII. Beautifully preserved and restored armored tanks and airplanes from the Wars. The best part though are the volunteers who work as guides here. All of them have some family involvement with the heritage and their level of knowledge is impressive.Couple this trip with the Boeing - Flight of Future (right around the corner) and you have a fantastic field day lined up for family and friends.

Awesome place to visit to teach the family about military equipment. Great learning experience for anyone interested in mechanics and aviation. WWII is the main inventory. They do have some stuff predating WWII and other vehicles from Vietnam. Very good variety of armor and planes. They even have a working me262! It's worth the price of admission. The staff are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The gift shop has a lot of variety. They will hopefully start doing live demonstrations soon.

The Boeing Future of Flight museum is dedicated to the history and future of aviation. Visitors can explore exhibits covering the history of aviation as well as tours of the commercial jet assembly plant. The museum also has a few fun things to do and see, making it a great place for all ages to learn and explore. The shop is excellent, and the staff is knowledgeable and helpful. However, the factory tour is currently closed due to Covid-19.
A little overpriced for me. However, it was an amazing place to see.I'm reviewing the facility tour very high. The future of flight building was just okay. It was very underwhelming.If you're doing the plant tour, you must buy in advance. You'd have to get pretty lucky to get in otherwise.

Despite the factory tour being closed, the backstage pass film is a good way to find out more about the history and operations at this site. It's no substitute for a real tour though! There was a Q&A session at the end which was a good opportunity to ask questions, although some of the answers given weren't very informative.The museum and viewing deck are good, so this is a good way to spend a few hours just half an hour outside Seattle.

Went on a Monday afternoon and spent about an hour and half there. Thought it would have a lot more things to look at but there were no factory tours available and some of the exhibits were still under renovation. Staff at the drone pilot and AI stations were very friendly and pleasant. Those interactive stations were pretty cool. The price was cheap ($6).Worth a visit if you are in the area and you have a couple hours but definitely not a destination like the Museum of Flight. The gift shop was my favourite part of my visit.

I was impressed with the variety, quality and engagement of their exhibits. My 9 and 11-year old girls had a blast. Mini robots that do tricks following lines drawn on paper, a drone flying cage, fly a flock of birds onscreen with body motions, eliminate space junk with a computer game, look at mini drones the size of a fly, make up to 6 ping pong balls float mid-air on tiny streams of air, design your own plane by picking features then flying it in a cockpit to see how well it flies (simple enough for 5-year old to enjoy). We probably missed 5 or more exhibits because we ran out of time! Very inexpensive for the hours of enjoyment. Highly recommended!
SeattleDan R — Google review
This is a good place for young and old, not a whole lot to see, we were there about an hour. But it was interesting. Drones (in a cage) and simple motorized cubes that you can draw a path for them to follow, great for kids. We enjoyed the visit, I know there are bigger museums but for a quick “something to do” that’s not too expensive… it was perfect. Just know to keep your expectations low on the quantity of airplanes. There were several coming soon exhibit so it’s looking to expand.

Must visit if in seattle. Great place, the factory is very nice gives an idea of what and how flights are all about end to end. Very knowledgeable tourguides and the tour itself and lot of things to see and understand especially if interested in flights or otherwise too. Great place for children to see and learn. Overall it's worth the visit. Advance booking is required, I booked about 2 days before and tickets were mostly sold out for almost all the slots.only few were left. Plan the visit. Phone and few other things are not allowed for factory visit but they provide you free lockers to keep them.

I was surprised at how informative and interesting this tour was (in that the factory tours are currently closed).The building has many exhibits including hands-on (mostly for youth). There is a drone area that you can practice flying.You also have access to a roof top, which provides excellent views of Paine Field and has a radio broadcasting the tower traffic.The best part for us was the one hour presentation, which was hosted by staff . You could ask questions and interact about the history and the assembly process. It's not like the actual factory tour, but it's still very informative.

I've done the tour in the past many years ago on weekends, so it was interesting to see it during the weekday. You can't bring any phones or cameras on the tour. They have free lockers to stow your purses, backpacks, phones, or food. I bought my ticket ahead online the day before we visited.

Neat little learning center ran by Boeing. Has an observation deck where you can watch planes come and go and check out the backlog of un-engined 777Xs. Would go with five stars except the factory tour is currently closed, which is the main reason we came to the Pacific Northwest. I am a self proclaimed airplane nerd and Boeing shareholder (I own a whopping 10 shares) so I was disappointed to say the least. Other than that, the Cafe was also closed which we had been planning on for food. Beyond those two issues, nothing else bad. Gift shop on site, ample parking, friendly workers. Awesome to see the world's largest building, too, along with all the planes being prepped for delivery.

I had a tour and it was very impressive. I booked it online 2 weeks before my visit. The tour is around 90 minutes. I entered the hangar area and visited the assembly line where I saw many planes in production, including two Air Force KC-31s being refueled. Our tour guide was very helpful and friendly. Backpacks, cameras, phones, food, and drinks were not permitted during the tour, but there were free lockers at the entrance. There were no restrooms during the tour, so it's important to hydrate and use the restroom beforehand. The is a sky deck and gallery next to the lobby, you can take pictures of the planes from distance on the deck.

Interesting tour but doesn’t get you on the ground floor and up close to the operations to better experience the equipment, parts, processes and aircraft. All observations are from the transport bus or observation decks high above the workplace. Glad I saw it but somewhat disappointed in the distant viewing. Entrance fee a bit pricey for the overall experience. Tour guide and other staff were great!

The gallery was ok, but nothing spectacular. The cafe was closed which was unfortunate since we didn't get anything to eat before hand. They have vending machines, but nothing lunch worthy. The sundeck had a nice view of the airport, but no jets were flying that afternoon. The tour was ok, but I wish that we could have seen more than just the final assembly. The paint facility would have been cool to see.

The place is nice overall, the exhibition is nice and that's it, there aren't too many things on display.The observation deck is impressive providing a breathtaking view of the airport and the mountain ranges surrounding the area.The tour is fine and nothing more, we were disappointed by the tour and expected much more.The tour is Including a view of the factory from two high points (observation balconies inside the factory overlooking the 2 parts of the factory) but there is no walking in the factory and there is no watching at what happens in the assembly process up close.It does not provide the feeling one expects from a tour of the Boeing assembly factory.I would like to point out that it is forbidden to take pictures during the tour.

Boeing's Future of Flight blew me away! The exhibits were cool, explaining how Boeing makes dreams take flight. But the Everett Factory Tour? That was the real deal. Seeing the world's biggest building and those massive 777s under construction? Mind. Officially. Blown.The only downside? The tour felt a bit short. Like missing out on the in-flight movie on a long haul. With so much to see, I would've loved to delve deeper. Maybe extended tours, or areas to watch specific parts of the assembly process, would be amazing.Overall, though, Boeing's Future of Flight is a total win for aviation enthusiasts. It's like Willy Wonka's factory, but for airplanes! Just be prepared to be amazed, and maybe a little bummed when the tour ends (like when they take away your airplane pillow).

Arrived in Seattle after a very prolonged journey from Australia thanks to the IT Glitch. On trying to book a tour found it was all booked out . With only one day to spare I contacted management desperate to see if they could accommodate us on a tour. No problem. My husband was so happy. An incredible experience and we feel so fortunate to have visited. Thank you so much for allowing us the privilege of a visit on very very short notice. A highlight of our trip.

We visited Boeing Future of flight and the factory tour.The factory tour began with a video presentation describing the history of the company and founder.The fugue of flight museum has a display of various aircrafts and technological advancements.The factory tour itself was pretty short. We were taken to one of the buildings on the fourth floor from where the assembly line was visible. The tour guide explained a few processes on a very high level. I was expecting it to be more of a “factory” tour rather than just a gallery to view the assembly line.Future of flight also has a kids area for kids to play and learn about some physics principles.

So you can’t take your phone on the tour so the pictures are just of the sky deck that you get access to with a tour ticket. The tour its self is okay, it’s more of a just a bus ride around the Boeing facility with a stop in the production facility. Once on there assembly line you get an elevator onto an observation deck and can look over the 777F assembly line. The tour is not particularly detailed but if you are interested in seeing jets it is a must.

Lots of selection and the prices were great.

It was a good tour; could have been better. Although I understand that there are data privacy concerns and that’s why everything is viewable from a distance.

Yeah, it's OK. Usual USA marketing hype with not a lot of substance to back it up. Pleasant enough with friendly helpful people. But you pay to see a lot of models, mock up's and posted pictures with a word salad.

Super cool to see the 777X. Big airplane and manufacturing guy, so I loved this visit. Only $12. Very cool place to shop for model planes and Boeing merch ✈️I loved the simple food and my coffee was nice. Very nice people too.

This is a beautiful park with a lighthouse and fire pits along the beach. It's close to the ferry terminal and train station, making it easy to get to. The park was very busy on a nice day, so be prepared for crowds!
Clean and accessible. Beautiful views of the Sound and mountains. Close to the ferry terminal for views as well. The bathrooms were clean. Fire pits along the beach were nice. Park was very busy on a nice day so plan ahead. Iver's is right next door for waterfront dining.

Intuition brought me here and I am so grateful for the experience!Ample parking, solid playground, heated bathrooms and a rocky beach with spectacular views. Also, a paved trail along the water that leads around the park to heated restrooms, continues through the historical lighthouse and base quarters, around and up to a viewpoint and a couple restaurants before hitting the main road.

06/03/23: this place is a must-go-to park for anyone, especially tourists. The view is outstanding and stunning. I can see a spectacular view of Puget Sound along the spacious beach view. The parking is ample, with a historic Lighthouse where it marked the first place they had settled to find new land in the 1800s. There are tons of fast-food chains, restaurants, and hotels nearby.You can also take the nearby ferry to go to Whidbey Island. I enjoy coming here and hopefully, I will be back with more updates

I think I fall in love with this little lighthouse more every time I visit. Good sized park with lots of parking and bathrooms nearby. There is a boat launch but I'm not a boater so I don't know much about it. The lighthouse operates by volunteers and is open only on the weekends during set hours. Lots of space in the park to sit and have picnics or fun in the sun and surf. There is a playground but I can't really speak about it since I've never visited. The park is the location for a lot of community events and concerts. I'm not from the area so I'm not sure how those go but they've always seemed to have brought a crowd when I've seen these kind of events being set up. You do have to pay for parking but I don't think it's to bad cost wise. The park does have set hours and dogs are welcome but there are signs all over for these. I love what the city has done for this space!

Brilliant, beautiful little park with a delightful beach and a great view of the ferries. We come here every Thursday after having a drink at the Red cup Cafe up the street. It's our little getaway. Tons of dogs too.

This is a very scenic and fun park to visit. The beach front view is amazing and the lighthouse area is great to explore. There is a great playground for children located in the park, and places to have a campfire near the beach. This is a great place to visit with family and friends, or just go for a walk.

I love this park. I grew up coming here and although it has changed quite a bit, it still has the quaint Mukilteo feel that I love so much. Paying for parking sucks but I understand they gotta pay for the upgrades to the park somehow! There are always a bunch of people down at the waterfront for the sunsets but we have always managed to find a great spot to hang out for a while. I love how there are restrooms right on the waterfront! When I was young, we'd have to walk way over to the dingy restrooms where the ferry dock used to be (to the left of Ivar's Fish Bar as you are coming down the hill). Great place for kids, families, dogs and people just wanting a very peaceful place to chill. I highly recommend this park 😀

It was a nice park and very relaxing from the waves of Puget sound. The top of the lighthouse was pretty cool! It was very chilly breeze in the beach and it was good to get out of the house and especially how how it is in the summer. I totally recommend this place.

Beautiful place to spend time for an evening stroll. It has a small play area for the kids. Few fire pits and good parking space. Very close to the ferry terminal and the bus stop. All in all, great place to relax and unwind.

Great place to come for the evenings to build a fire on the beach. Lots of events held here too. There is a small trails and probably about ten fire pits set up for people to use. Bring your own wood and fire starter. The beach and sunsets are very pretty. There are a few little places to eat nearby and could make a great little date.

Lighthouse Park in Washington State is an absolute gem, seamlessly blending breathtaking natural beauty with a rich local culture. The rugged coastline, dramatic cliffs, and iconic lighthouse create a picturesque landscape that is truly awe-inspiring. The towering trees and expansive views of the Puget Sound make it a haven for nature enthusiasts. What sets this park apart is not just its stunning scenery but also the warm embrace of the local culture. The welcoming community adds a layer of charm, with friendly faces, local artisans, and a palpable sense of pride in the region's maritime history. Exploring Lighthouse Park is not just a visual feast; it's an immersive experience that leaves you with a profound appreciation for the intersection of nature and community.

Great park to hang out at. Has a short path along the beach where people like to stroll or walk their dog, playground for kids, restrooms, and a couple of places to grab food. Ample parking but it does cost money starting at $3 for 1 hour.

It’s a good place for a walk any time of the year.You can find small restaurants and coffee shops nearby. Also there is a picnic area and fire pits on the beach.Traffic could be really bad in rush hours especially because of ferry lines
Kate K — Google review
This is a beautiful place, very serene was not very busy when we went on a weekday. Paid parking is available for about 3$ per hour.There is a kids' area, but my kids enjoyed the nature, sand,stone, and clearwaters much more. It was good even on a cloudy day, but I assume it can get hot on a sunny day. As it is on the west side, sunsets should be possible.You can see islands right across the water, which also connects to the Pacific Ocean.you can walk on the beach which has very mild waters or just on the walkways.

Great place to come to! Very beautiful view and a nice place to walk down! I loved the view and the area surrounding the water! Super nice. I really recommend coming down here for a picnic or some ice cream nearby! 🍦 It was worth it to come here again! Came here with family, and they all loved it, too! Hopefully, everyone finds this helpful. I really recommend it! It was an amazing experience.

I love coming here, especially at low tide. There is a beach area to explore, a volleyball court with real sand, a fair sized playground for the kids, and covered seating areas for events. Also, it is a good place to launch your boat since it has ample parking for boat trailers.Just across the street is a diamond knot brewery restaurant, an Ivar's fish & chips walk up location, and an Ivar's salmon house (the fancy version of Ivar's). The walk up location sells ice cream cones as well.Notes: Parking is not free, it's $3/hr on weekends, and check the tide schedule beforehand if you want to go beach exploring.

Went here to view the Northern lights as I heard it's a great spot. Apparently everybody thought it was also a great spot and people are just not aware of their surroundings in public events like this. However, I love the lighthouse Park. I love the lighthouse Beach. I love the fire pits. Got to get there early if you want to get one. Good old family fun.,

Beautiful lighthouse in Mukilteo, with views of the ferries coming and going to the islands. The lighthouse has a small visitor’s center with nautical displays and information - it is open periodically, not all the time. (I believe it is staffed by volunteers.) There is also a lighthouse keeper’s house as well as a gift store behind the lighthouse.The beach is rocky and pretty windy, so you may want to bring a jacket. There several benches to sit and enjoy the sea air from, or walk along the beach (sturdy shoes recommended)… 🌊Paid parking lot on site, with prices from $3/hour, payable by credit card.For food/snack options, there’s Diamond Knot brewery that has a walk-up window you can get ice cream, drinks and burgers from… or you can walk over to Ivar’s on the corner and get fresh fish & chips, or mussels fresh off the boat. 🐟 🦪🍦There’s a bathroom off the parking lot area, with separate restrooms for men/women.There is also a boat launch area as well. 🛥️Definitely recommend visiting this gem!

We love this sound side park! It’s a beautiful place to relax, watch the ferries and enjoy mountain & sound views! We also love the public fire pits available! There is also plenty of parking and a boat ramp as well as a pavilion and playground for kids. Always a nice spot to take the dogs - on leash - to walk and sniff.

Lighthouse Park is one of the beauties of Mukilteo, WA. The park is clean, and there is plenty of parking. The only thing is they charge roughly $3/hour to park, and you can pay through the machine on-site or through the App. Maybe that is one of the reasons you upkeep the park and keep the homeless out.There is a Parking Patrol car onsite to make sure people pay for parking. If you drive around the park you’ll see him.I took a handful of pictures to show you.Enjoy!

Best park in the region by far. The play structure could use a little updating and expanding — it’s always mobbed, but other then that hard to complain about beautiful views, great walking paths, and an overall great time

“This location offers spectacular mountain and island views, along with a perfect spot to watch ferry crossings. During low tide, explore the beach to discover seals, crabs, starfish, and hermit crabs. A serene place to connect with Mother Nature."Parking can be challenging during the weekends, pay parking as well

The Reptile Zoo is a well-kept and spacious facility that offers hands-on experiences with various reptiles such as lizards, snakes, and an albino alligator. Tortoises, turtles, iguanas, crocodiles, African bullfrogs, and tarantulas are among the creatures available for viewing. The staff is friendly and each reptile has personal details displayed. Visitors can also browse through the small gift shop upon entering.
I love this location and so does my son! We are big reptile fans and this place just keeps getting better and better over the years. They have a wondeful selection of reptiles. Staff always friendly and informative. Great location for all ages and close to home,.

Smaller than I imagined, but fit lots of different reptiles inside the exhibits. You can go through this in an hour maybe two if you take your time.Most exhibits are harder to see through and needs updating, which I think is happening soon.Still had a good exhibits and worth the price.

I took my 4 year old gson with me. We had a lot of fun! We saw an albino crocodile, an alligator, lots of snakes, an iguana, lots of big and little turtles, a huge frog, and a two-headed turtle! It was super hot and humid inside. The guy running the place was super friendly and helpful!

Neat and tidy, organized and spacious inside. Lots of snakes, tortoises, turtles, lizards and iguanas. A few crocodiles, African bull frog, tarantulas too! Most of the tortoises and a python were open for petting. Our 6 and 10 year olds were amazed. Good value for the entry fee. Worth spending two hours with those amazing creatures.

Went with my 4.5 year old and he absolutely loved it! We got to pet a few turtles which was nice. And so many different snakes. Which was kinda cool to learn about them, since I’m absolutely petrified of them but knew my son would love to go. All the way home, all he could talk about was the Reptile Zoo and how cool it was. Will definitely come back again.

DO NOT BELIEVE the lower star reviews. Bunch of vegan hippies who worship peta and post bad reviews for normal zoos. Anyways - I loved this place. The people are awesome and I saw no signs of neglect. Everything looked clean and there was definitely enough room for them considering they are rescues and unable to live in the wild. Take your kids! Not only is there tons of cool information to read as you ago, the gift shop has great prices and it’s a very fun experience

So cool to get to see the different reptiles and spiders. Didn't have to wait at all, walked down the hallway, bought wristbands, then walked wherever we wanted. Cool to be able to touch the tortoises too. Free parking and lots of space. Wear short sleeves because it is warm in there.

We had a fantastic time visiting the Reptile Zoo! The owner and staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and they took the time to answer all of our questions. The variety of animals was great, and all of the reptiles seemed healthy and happy. We especially enjoyed seeing the black tortoises, which were huge and majestic. Our children were also really engaged and excited to learn about all of the different reptiles.The only downside to our visit was that we live out of state and won't be able to come back anytime soon. However, we would definitely recommend the Reptile Zoo to anyone who is interested in learning more about reptiles or who is looking for a fun and educational outing for the family.

My partner and I are from South Eastern BC and would often travel to Monroe for Formula Drift; every time we passed this business I would comment how I wanted to stop there. We had travelled to Seattle in early October 2023 for my birthday and were travelling the day of my birthday so we decided to stop in at the Reptile Zoo. Not sure how we managed to plan it this perfectly, but we got there right at feeding time on a Friday. We toured through with another group and watched majority of the reptiles get fed which was a super cool experience! The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and you can tell he was very passionate about his reptiles; he shared a story / a memory about each and every one of the reptiles there with us. As someone who has owned several snakes in the past, I can confirm that the reptiles did not appear to be uncomfortable or in distress, as some other reviews may suggest. This was definitely an amazing way to spend my birthday and we will absolutely be stopping in again the next time we are in the area!!

The Reptile Zoo was actually a lot bigger than I thought it would be. I brought my 2 year old and we were there for a whole hour. They can pet some of the tortoises, which is neat! Also, this is not a glorified pet shop – there are black mambas! It's super cool seeing the most dangerous snakes in the world.
Gregory P — Google review
I highly recommend visiting this reptile zoo, but be sure to dress comfortably as it can get quite warm inside, which is perfect for the reptiles. I was thrilled to see the diverse range of reptiles, and it was an unforgettable experience to touch a snake for the first time and come face to face with a crocodile. These creatures are truly magnificent. While I wished the facility was better maintained and provided more spacious habitats for the animals, I understand the financial constraints involved. Overall, it's a worthwhile visit for any reptile enthusiast.

We went with our 4 year old and we had a great time here.It has so many varieties of reptiles that you simply can't see in a zoo. That too in close proximity.I have seen some negative reviews about cleanliness of the place. Those seem too harsh. It was clean enough for us to not notice anything weird.The close encounter area where you can touch a python and an alligator was super cool.

My kid had fun. We saw exotic animals.They all look3d so miserable and sad. They looked neglected. The building looked like it was borderline condemable. There was spider webs everywhere. Hazards galore. Plugs and metal and water combined. An unlocked snapping turtle cage. Rotting food in cages no water in hot cages crowded with little to no supervision. People tapping and banging on glass. Unsafe kids area with lights held by duck tape. Dirty very gross cages. Oil water. Blocked fire extinguishers. Rotting ceilings. Literally dripped water and debry onto me personally. It is so gross so sad and so dangerous. But your kids might love it. Never again. Never ever again. Should be shut down!!!!!

We spotted this place as we driving through Monroe WA.We went back to check it out.Admissions fee $10.96 and it is a Self Tour, but at 5pm they have a “feeding tour” which is included in the entrance fee.Be prepared as it is a bit humid in temperature for the comfort of the reptiles and other creatures to be comfortable.Lot’s of cool creatures to see.

Journeys East, located within the Tulalip Resort and Casino in Marysville, is a vibrant restaurant offering a diverse menu of Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese cuisine. Guests can indulge in an array of delicacies from different Asian cultures while enjoying a selection of cocktails and wines. The exceptional service provided by the friendly staff adds to the overall dining experience.
First stay at Tulalip Casino. We had ordered sushi here as well, but the service and food with drinks was phenomenal. The chicken karaage on the appetizers menu section was to die for (ask for extra lemon to drizzle, truly makes a difference). We, husband and I, had just sat at the bar outside the main restaurant but still had an amazing experience. If you are at the casino hit this place up!

This was one of the several eateries inside the casino. It was my first time eating here as my friend had been here before.Food: 3/5 - We shared the fried rice and Pad Thai noodles. I rated the fried rice with chicken 4/5 as it was a decent portion with lots of ingredients. The Pad Thai shrimp was barely a 3/5. There was a weird vinegar taste in the noodles. It was the first time I had red cabbage served with Pad Thai noodles. The portion was smaller. It’s great that they have a menu at the front entrance.Service: 3/5 - average and friendly serverAtmosphere: 4/5 - nice & clean interior.Parking: 4/5 - free parking in the parking lotWheelchair: 5/5 - accessible for wheelchairs and walkers

What happened Journeys East?Used to be my favorite Asian restaurant in the North end, with contemporary dessert options.Steamed halibut. Should be renamed to "Microwave" fish. Seriously the halibut stuck to the plate, and it looked and tasted microwave, and just added the yet simple sauce but mediocre. Not worth $30 for this dish!Green curry with chicken. Curry broth and chicken is spot on, but I didn't realize there would be so many cucumbers and less chicken.Spicy wontons. Just wontons and chili oil. Probably the only redeeming dish.Service was okay. Waitress was nice but lack a bit of attention, as we had to flag her down for additional orders.Overall, if you're out trying to make your luck and crave Asian meal, stick to the lower cost typical items, you should be fine.It used to have taste/quality of a good restaurant now more of cafeteria quality.

I have been dining at this restaurant since it opened. Before COVID I dined here at least once a week. Several of the servers are familiar with my order and have always provided excellent service. However, after negative experiences on my last two visits I don’t plan on coming back.On my previous visit the expeditor, Loralei, was in a rush. She kept trying to bring dishes to our table that we did not order. When she finally did bring the dish we were waiting for she slammed it down on the table. Hard enough that I was afraid the momentum would take it off of the table.We spoke to the manager, Shannon, she apologized and said she would speak to Loralei. She did admit to setting dishes down roughly. We were assured she would receive more training and that she was a good worker that was simply trying too hard to be quick. As our previous experiences had always been positive we felt the matter was resolved.This evening was about a month after the first incident. I came in with my husband and a friend. We placed our food and drink order with the server and everything seemed fine.Loralei was the expediter again. At Journey’s the food comes out as it is made. Consequently, someone always ends up waiting for their food. We are used to this system.Loralei brought my dish. I said it was mine and she set it front of my friend. She corrected herself, but slammed the bowl of pho down. At that point I thought she may have had an issue with me because I had made a complaint about her. I tried to not think anything of it, but then a few other incidents made me think it was intentional.My friend also ordered pho. I saw a bowl of soup in the window. I did not assume it was ours until I observed Loralei run other dishes that came out afterward. Our server then saw the soup in the window and brought it over. At this time we still had not received our appetizer and my husband was still waiting for fried rice. I let the server know there was an issue and he said he would look into it.I observed three orders of fried rice go out before my husband received his. I know one of those tables was sat after ours. At this point I asked to speak to a manager.Before we spoke to the manager Loralei brought my husband’s rice out. She said “Here is a serving spoon if you want to share”. As she said this she brazenly rolled her eyes.When, Shannon, the manager came to the table (With an unknown man at her side. Did she find me threatening?) I explained that we had a negative experience with Loralei the last time we had dinner. As I was explaining this Loralei delivered our appetizer. I glanced in her direction and probably had an unpleasant expression on my face. Shannon said “Direct that towards me not her”. I can appreciate a manager that stands up for their staff, but not when a staff member is blatantly rude. I explained to Shannon that I cannot control my expressions when someone is being openly disrespectful. She said” Well, two wrongs don’t make a right”.After that I felt the conversation was going nowhere. I asked for the Food and Beverage managers contact information and both their names.Shannon said she was the manager of the restaurant. I again requested her managers information. She wrote the information on a card. According to LinkedIn she gave me the assistant managers name.I lost my appetite and asked Shannon to take my plate and remove it from the bill. Which she did. It took sometime to pay our bill. She pulled our server aside and they both looked in our direction. I assume she felt the need to warn the server about us. We had no issues with our server, Ryan, he did a good job and did his best to help resolve an awkward situation. I will be reaching out to the Food and Beverage manager. I don’t plan on going back unless they hire a better expediter and a manager that can manage.

Best Mongolian beef in Snohomish county. Portions are hit or miss. Fried rice is amazing. Beef pho is okay and works in your need a pho phix. Definitely a wait on nights and weekends. Wish they opened up at 11am instead of noon. Located inside the casino. Great service. Limited menu since Covid.

In the middle of eating our dinner, manager Shannon S. came up to our party stating that there were multiple complaints about our kids noises. We informed her that we can't stop our kids from crying. I know that everybody wants to eat in peace. They are an infant and a toddler. We are trying our best for them not to cry but we can't help it if they do. Our kids were intermittently crying but not to the point where it can cause disturbance to the other patrons. I would prob understand if my children were running around and were being obnoxious but this was not the case. I don't know exactly what this manager was trying to imply after approaching us. We didn't hear or see any customer complaints. I think it was more of a manager/staff complaints. We were near the kitchen and it was a heavy traffic area where there are lot of noises as well. The way this manager approached us is unprofessional and inconsiderate as we are also a paying customer. We didn't finish our dinner after what she told us. Lost our appetite. Just took all of our food to go since they made us feel like we weren't welcome at all. We couldn't believe what just happened. So while waiting for our check, I came up to manager Shannon S. and told her I didn't appreciate how she approached our party. Approaching the right way makes a big difference and I believe that since she's a manager that she should know how to handle this things better and appropriately. This so called "manager" didn't even apologize to us. She called her boss Tim and he spoke to me-which we already know she told her side of the story first because it took him a while to come out. At this point, we were just appalled. I felt like our conversation wasn't going anywhere as he already sided with his manager.So for the other people that has young children that will dine in this place, you might want to think twice. Definitely not a kid friendly place. Just go somewhere else.

This restaurant is inside the casino.The food was good, the portion is quite big. Service was good too, our server comes to us very often. It’s fusion restaurant, not that authentic Chinese/ Asian restaurant.Most of our food taste good, only the fry odon was a bit under seasoned( or not like what I expected. ) It’s a bit dry to me.

This restaurant is good. If you’re looking for sushi, they are not serving it right now. I was dissatisfied with the karaage but only because I have high expectations.The staff was friendly though so it made up for the food. I recommend the honey walnut shrimp or the chicken chow Mein.
Jachelle S — Google review
Dining here tonight was good. Our waitress was on top of things. Food was very fast and fresh. I will be back. Wonton was okay. Rolls were delicious. Udon noodles were great. Honey walnut shrimp was fantastic. Can't wait to try some new dishes next time. Thought the portion on the shrimp could have been bigger as there were only 10 for $18 but by the time I was done I was full and happy.

Seattle Premium Outlets

6 lists
Outlet mall
Shopping
Factory Outlets
Located in Tulalip, Washington, just six minutes north of Marysville, the Seattle Premium Outlets is a popular shopping destination in the Seattle metropolitan area. The outlet center offers a wide range of stores with discounted prices on well-known brands. Visitors can also find Gateway Shopping Center nearby, which features major retailers and easy access from the I-5 highway.
I absolutely LOVE outlet malls, as nearly everything has discounted prices. This one has a decent selection of name-brand stores, and a few premium ones in a figure-eight style loop.There’s a food court and a Starbucks in the middle, and pretzel, and kettle corn stands scattered throughout.

A lot of people from BC to shop here and bring back to Canada to save on taxes and have more options. The is the strength of the US.Many shops and pretty much what you need is here. Weekday afternoon, many shops is close for lunch for 30-60 minutes. Be aware of this so you don’t feel bad when the door is locked.

Nice and clean outlet mall with great selection. Expensive compared to east coast outlets. Partially covered for rainy days. Easy to use map locators near the entrances.

Great deals! Awesome shopping experience!Edit- those who want to go via public transportation need to catch a bus from Bellevue transit center bay-4.I recommend checking google for more details before planning. the bus takes around 2-3 hours depending on traffic. with a car, it's 35 - 45 minutes. However, I would suggest taking a cab.

Great place to shop but crowded. Long queues in certain stores. Food court needs more variety and good customer service as people travel from far to come here

Not anything special ...but common brands are all there..n prices as expected are lower than high street outlets...Lots of discounts...Eating facilities again of average grade...not many choices...Rest rooms r good..Ample parking facilities..Far away from Seattle... wastes time from shopping..

This store owner said he is smart as a business owner and doesn’t care about the needs of clients. He refused to exchange any quarters back while our purchasing, and refused to help us toss the receipt as he will run his business at the ‘smartest’ way for his best interest.We bought something over $8.XX and paid $10, and we barely asked for few quarters back. Then we got this attitude :)Not a pleasant experience of visiting this place.

The outlet is large and has many brands.Even though there are plenty of parking spaces, they are full on weekends. I spent 0.5 hours walking around and finally found a parking spot! In this case, I would suggest parking your car on the 2nd floor of the parking building, which is near the Levis store.

This is a great place to shop, especially during the holidays. It's best for clothing and shoes. It's also a great place for kids, plenty of food locations and spots to play. There is a parking lot and garage. Although it can be crowded on weekends, it always seems to have parking. Fun place to visit!

Today, my mother visited this store and had an unfortunate encounter with a sales associate. My mother, who doesn’t speak English fluently, was using Google Translate to ask for the price of an item. She had to ask twice, and instead of helping her, a white saleswoman became rude and condescending. She raised her voice and treated my mother with clear disdain. Such behavior is not only disrespectful but also reeks of racial prejudice. I strongly urge others to avoid this place based on this unacceptable treatment.

Overall, I have mixed feelings about the current state of the Seattle Premium Outlets in Tulalip. There just seemed to be a lot less shoppers in general. The Burberry store, for example, limited the number of people that could go inside, even though there were only seven customers in total when we visited the shop. When I used to come here more than 10 years ago, the entire outlets were bustling with people, and every single shop was packed. Where do all of the enthusiastic patrons go nowadays?

All great brands are here. Plenty of parking and food stalls/restaurants. Fun place to visit but weekends can be very crowded.

There were less people in the morning, but there are many people and hard to find parking in the afternoon. Pro tip: come early. Not many options in food court, but food is good. Some of the shops do have great discount, like Crocs, Kiplin, etc

The only plus size store is Lane Bryant and the selection wasn’t the greatest when I went. Lots of plus sized ladies walking around without shopping bags! I’m not taking my family there ever again unless this changes.

This place has all the premium brands you love! Also there are a lot of places to eat and coffee shops plus a proper designated food court. But it's real task to find vacant parking spots here and it is worst on the weekends.Public restrooms are super dirty here though, wouldn't really suggest you using them unless it's an emergency.

Every time our family goes to this outlet, I limit my children to $100 each. It always seems we go over budget. There are some good deals provided you stick to what you have preplanned to buy otherwise you end up buying things you do not really need. Overall, it's a fun experience once a year especially at back to school time.
SunshineDaydream — Google review
It’s an excellent place to buy your needs with a discount between 15-20%. You have to check their offers as they may provide extra discounts at different days of the year. But we can’t compare it with Portland outlet as no tax there. Parking is spacious but you need to come early to ensure a slot. Foods , they have food court and other small shops and food is okay.
Hassan M — Google review
Best to get there early (9-10am). Parking is easily accessible then. If you wait you'll miss out on finding something easy. Good to get your steps in. Seems to be a destination point for those who are coming from out of country. You'll see tour busses bring them in. Some deals to be had there.
Steve R — Google review
Shadow of it's former glory.Prices aren't great, some are painfully high for an 'outlet' mall.Store selection has Deminished too. It's just not the destination it used to be. This mall is simply coasting on its past and lease gouging the retailers.You used to be able to empty your wallet on deals in every store. Now just go to Levi's... They'll empty it for you... There is a reason Levi doesn't price anything in the store anymore. Because they are embarrassed at their own prices.

Best place for shopping. There are great variety of stores, few have great deals & clearance sales. I didn't like the food court that much, it gets very crowded and barely hard to find clean place to sit & eat. However, I had a great shopping experience. I highly recommend to visit this place.
Kuljeet K — Google review
Fun and inexpensive mall, has tons of discounted stores! And great brands as well . Parking lot is humongous but still gets very very packed and parking can be hard to find, especially on the weekends. Very clean atmosphere, tons of bathrooms, drinking fountains and water bottle refill stations. They also have some fun quarter machine rides for kiddos, as well as you can rent stroller car things. I wish they had more food options though, there's about 4-5 in the food court to choose from like Subway. I recommend getting off the 116th exit because the other exit gets extremely backed up. Beautiful holiday decorations.

06/24/23: the Outlet was great, with a variety of mediums and large branches. I believe the price is always 15-30% discount for clothes, shoes and other items. The parking is ample and the space is enormous. I love coming here to checkout on discount items and enjoy the outlet’s vibe. Also, the food court was good as well

The place is good, but I had a really disappointing moment there. I shopped for a few things, went to the restroom, and put my bag on the sink. Within a fraction of a second, my bag, which had five pieces of clothing, was stolen. I don't know how security works there. People who reads review kindly be safe with your stuff .22/06/2024

The mall was very nice to be at,they got restaurants in the same vicinity,a McDonald’s too. Can’t say so much for the people who I came across the time I was there. Rude,inconsiderate,love to shoulder check you,I’m surprised there ain’t been no fights bout that. The food court was pretty good. Got chicken fried noodles before I left. Did more window shopping and did grab a few items on the way out🙂↕️overall,great place to be at put the a negative for the fellow customers that day🤷🏾♀️🤣

Seattle Premium Outlets is my favorite place to shop in Tulalip. As a well known member of Tulalip Casino. I have come here on many occasions with my family and Daughters to shop here. This is one of the best places for that in the State of Washington. I have bought at stores like Nike, True Religion & Zumiez. Every store in Seattle Premium Outlets is worth Visiting. I highly recommend this place for all Families. Thank you for the Memories and and Bless the Tulalip Reservation!

Contemporary casino lodging with 125 rooms, several dining/bar options & live entertainment.
My husband and I have watched this casino grow from the time it is open to present day it’s one of the best casinos to go to in Washington. It’s are go to place for a birthday anniversary and just a quick vacation the hotel is wonderful. We stayed at the hotel for about the 6-7 time and last night was just as great as the 1 st stay. From front desk staff to room readiness and very clean and I NO CLEAN (retired executive housekeeping management) so we will be back! And dinner was good and had more fun at the slots didn’t win there but a quiet room and a very comfortable bed and pillows made up for it. Thank you for the best time in the middle of the week.

Nice casino. Went to a birthday party at the everything sports game room. It was fun especially for the kids. When the kids left we hit the machines. Nice variety, all denominations. Friendly and courteous staff. Bar was understaffed in my opinion. But all in all, we enjoyed ourselves and will definitely go back.

We just spent two free nights because of an offer we received. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The staff there is very helpful and friendly. The casino is clean and beautiful, with every slot machine imaginable, including some of the games that have been around for years. I had good luck, and lots of fun. The restaurants are great. We will definitely return whenever we can.

We love going to Angel of the Winds to stay and play, and to eat! Jade Fusion and 210 brewery are our favorites. Food is always good. Last night we enjoyed the executive salad with juicy hamburger patty on top.Lots of new slot machines and some of the old classics.The registration desk persons are always very welcoming and friendly. Rooms are clean and linens are very nice and bed is comfortable.

I do like this casino, very much. Although the first few times there, I found it very easy to get lost, I like the parking, easy to find your vehicle even when you can't find your friends. The high roller room is really the hit, don't be scared, you can't win big if you don't bet big! They've got really cheap food, and it's actually good n' tasty, always some awesome monthly special. I will definitely keep going back because even when I don't win, I never leave feeling like a loser.

Don't know about the rooms imagine they are nice. Love the fact that it was a non smoking casino. New machines very clean. We enjoyed it greatly.Nice coffee shop. Clean restrooms. Friendly & polite staff.That is a plus in it own right. Plus I am 3/4 CHEROKEE Indian myself .First Indian casino ever been in.Much nicer in my opinion than the ones in Mississippi & Reno. We had a great time for our short little adventure. We will come again.

I was impressed by the Vegas-style inspiration and layout of the casino floor. It felt so exciting to walk in with music playing across the parking lot. My room was clean and comfortable during my stay. They had multiple food options and a cute café-style breakfast espresso stand. The staff was engaging and friendly. I can't wait to return.

We had a wonderful stay here at Angel of the Winds. Giving overall experience a 4/5. Yurt was very nice, clean, spacious, and cool. I especially liked that you could take the slide down to the yurt village and the walk to the dog park was nice.I would give the service we experienced while checking in a 2/5. There were two people working the front desk. When we first got there the phone rang and the lady that was checking us in answered. In my opinion this was a call that could’ve been put on hold for the 5 mins it would take to check us in, or taken care of by the other person working the front desk. She attempted to check us in while still taking the call but we had questions about amenities and adding our players card to the reservation. This was difficult to do while she was distracted on the phone. We told her we would wait until she was done to finish checking in.Although it started in this way, we overall enjoyed our stay here. They have wonderful amenities and a great location. Would definitely stay here again.

We stayed at the RV park and were pleasantly surprised. The spots were huge, very clean, and well maintained. All of the amenities were gorgeous and we were excited to see the pool and putt-putt course was still open. We were even able to bring out dog and she loved the dog park!I highly recommend if you’re looking for a nice spot for a weekend trip or just passing through.

Very clean hotel, loved the room! Food was excellent and beer was fresh. Service was great and very friendly. There is a cool gas station that you get $1 off a gallon with players card, unfortunately didn't notice that until I was leaving. But most importantly the casino did not smell like cigarette smoke, no one was smoking. I'll definitely be back! Thank you for an awesome stay Angel of the Winds :).

Wonderful place to venture to up north after dropping my nephew off at Western. We were given free hotel stay as a casino rewards member which really made the trip nice even though we didn't utilize the full night. The casino is large and clean and non-smoking. The hotel room was really nice, they don't offer continental breakfast unfortunately. Overall I would recommend this casino even as a destination I am impressed with the facility and the treatment of the casino guests compared to other casinos in our state this one I would say is a gem.

We were there to attend a near by wedding so location was perfect. Although there isn’t a pool on site, the bowling alley was exceptional entertainment for our two young grandkids. Food was very good and breakfast was perfect every day. Gotta love consistency these days! Front desk was super friendly. Coffee bar and GIANT pastries were a nice bonus. Oh and the show heads in the bathrooms have to be the best in any hotel we’ve seen in awhile.If you are in the area we highly recommend this hotel.

I've been going to the angel of the wind since they opened their doors. I'm very much contemplating never going back ever since they've changed their reward system. So many people complain of the service, including myself. The food has gone incredibly downhill. I can never get someone to help me when most of their machines need to be maintained. And to top it off, I can't have fun there anymore. From the horrible payouts that they have since they reopened after the pandemic To the many people i've talked to saying they are gaffing machines. What a shame I used to love this place.

We visited The Angel of the Winds Casino for our 12th wedding anniversary on January 12.We were blown away by the entire staff by their kindness and awesome attitudes. We had never been over night for our anniversary, kids, jobs home life always coming first.This awesome group of people not only made our night incredibly special, and surprising but OH SO MUCH FUN!The amazing restaurant called Whiskey Prime inside the casino, was GLORIOUS, and our wait staff made sure to help us celebrate with some yummy desserts.The ladies at the customer service desk were a hoot, and the waitresses (my lucky charms) made our game playing a continuous laugh!We were blown away with the professionalism, fun and great people!Thank you thank you thank you to each and every one of your employees at the hotel and casino. We will definitely plan on coming back to see you all again soon!Davey and Susan Thompson

We had never been before. It was a pleasant surprise! The room we booked was super clean, updated and pleasing to stay in. We stay in lots of hotels including some famously nice ones both in the states and overseas and this one compared to some that were three times the cost! I am not a big gambler but we had a blast at the slots and the bowling alley! Food was delicious also. We got breakfast and was so surprised at the amount of food we got for the cost. We spent less than 50.00 for the two of us to eat and it was a full plate of food. It was great. We plan to go back!

Some of your staff is very friendly and helpful. The young man who helped me get the club card was knowledgeable and kind.However, back at the keno area the 3 employees in this area were very unhelpful. They did not want to help in any way. When I finally said I did not understand and asked for them to show me, they did it grudgingly. I will probably not visit that area again.Also, your club card is not easy to use. I should t have to struggle using it especially the first time. This will keep me from coming back as well.The Asian Fusion restaurant was very good. Very good food and our waitress was very friendly.

Had a great time! Rooms were super clean and modern with plenty of device charging ports. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Casino floor was clean (although could use some fresh games! ;-) ). 210 had excellent food and service - try the brisket nachos.

I had a great time! The rooms were very nice. The view wasn’t bad. The food wasn’t bad and we won some money playing slots at the casino! It was our 1st wedding anniversary! The only things I could say that could change is having more comfortable beds for people like me with back and other health issues as I am disabled. Also having access to the pool and hot tub would have been nice! The customer service was absolutely amazing! I would definitely recommend this place!

Best casino experience ever. The staff were very friendly and I had a great time there. The slot games are current and I even saw a few that were new to me. In addition to the great games they also have a ton of reward members perks. The day I went there, the friend who brought me there was comped a stay on one of their hotel rooms. That is just one of the incredibly cool ways Angel of the Winds says thank y out to its loyal customer base. I intend to return again on the not so distant future and I cannot wait.

This casino is conveniently located for me personally— I can drive here in five minutes to pick up food. The restaurants inside are very reasonably priced. The parking lot is large and you can always find a space. You may need to park a ways from the entrance, but there are sidewalks all over and the walk isn’t bad. There are speakers playing music in parking lot— sometimes it’s decent; sometimes it’s not. Anyway, there are mostly slot machines inside and there are people using them at all hours of the day and night.

We were blown away at the genuine happiness and care that your front desk exhibited from the minute we stepped into the hotel. Janine truly went above and beyond! Just after checking in and barely getting settled in our room, we had a family emergency, and had to drive all the way back to a hospital Tacoma for a family emergency. She helped us with our tragic event swiftly with the utmost care and understanding. We will be taking a special weekend trip back to your hotel this winter just to enjoy your hospitality and patronize a wonderful establishment. Thank you all again!

Firstly the location is surrounded by an incredibly beautiful landscape of forested hills and yet close to the highway. You get to the casino and the building is beautiful and well designed in a comfortable yet almost classy way but still maintains that welcoming feeling to all people. I loved the size of the place and the staff is absolutely awesome and welcoming. They absolutely are the face of the Company and they do an excellent job of making you smile and feel like you are an old friend. Overall I love the place and the staff

I am blown away by the above and beyond service I received from Angel of the Winds. I go regularly to casinos but had not yet gone to Angel. I went and was playing slots. While I was there I went from one machine to another and somewhere between, lost an $80 ticket. I asked security and they looked into it for me. They looked at the cameras and saw a woman follow me, pick up the ticket(I dropped it) , then leave out one exit, take a cab around to a different entrance, go back in and cash in the ticket. They were apologetic but I realized that if someone else cashed it, that was it. It's gone. But guess what? Later that evening I received a phone call from Angel of the Winds. They told me they had my money!! The woman obviously came back and either they knew her or facial recognition got her! It took a lot of effort on their part to get that for me and call me, etc. I really appreciate that level of service. I will be back! Thanks Angel of the Winds!

First time visit. Service desk personnel were friendly and helpful getting us registered and off and playing. Casino is well lit and machines well placed. Tried the Asian restaurant food and service were excellent. Overall everything was fine. The only problem experienced was finding the casino off the freeway and then where to park. Did not know there was a parking garage and ended up parking by the hotel.

We were very pleased with our stay! Reservations, Front Desk Staff, and the Room were exceptional! The casino is equally exceptional with so many machines and choices - including many older fun games that other casinos have replaced with the less silly fun - higher cost Chinese machines. Lots of great food choices and the gaming staff and food service staff are as kind, fun, and attentive as the desk staff. Everything is clean, maintained, and guest oriented - very rare these days! Angel of the Winds is the getaway we have been looking for! We will be regulars!

Angel of the Winds Casino was a great experience not just for the adults but for the kids as well. There's a bowling alley where kids of all ages can play and have some fun. We had my son's birthday there and everyone had such an amazing time. The service was great. We had one issue but it was resolved quickly which was much appreciated since we were on a time limit. The bowling alley had food but there's also other places to eat as well. We ate at the Mexican restaurant after bowling, the food was delicious and the waiters were on top of everything. I recommend Angel of the Winds Casino to anyone that enjoys gambling, great food, helpful people, some quality time with the family or all the above!

I love this casino. It doesn't smell like stale smoke because there's no smoking inside. The casino floor was extremely clean and the slots were like an as well. The people who helped me after I won a jackpot were extremely kind and informed me if the process. All in all I recommend is casino!!!

My family stayed in the hotel for my Nieces wedding, all of the staff was amazing, professional, courteous, and pleasant. I was taking care of my mom, who needs a wheelchair, and my brother forgot to ask for ADA accommodations for her. I called the front desk and asked if we could change rooms, unfortunately they were all booked, then the front desk called me first thing the next morning to let me know that one had come available and handled all to details.100% will recommend to all my friends who want to stay at a great casino hotel and have a fantastic time.The only downside, the mattress was so comfortable that it made me realize that I need to up my mattress game at home.

This was by far the Best casino I have ever visited. it was smoke free, clean, the employees were polite and respectful.I enjoyed the variety of slots, although I don't really gambleThe reason we came there was to enjoy a meal and we did so at the luxurious restaurant located in the back of the casino ...I forgot the name...but omg the scallops were amazing!!!Because we are veterans they explained all of the perks to us, which I've never had any casino ask me about my military status. It was much appreciated!Also, loved the gift shoppe that stays open til 3 a.m....they were delightful to talk with and I really appreciated the merchandise selection.

We (5 ladies)went bowling with Senior Strikers and had a blast adventuring through the casino and learning the ropes. Haven’t laughed so much in ages. I was impressed with the live band playing for the dancing patrons next to the bowling. Plus the friendly service and advice from the staff was lovely. Food wasn’t as good as expected, but most of us walked out with added winnings from gambling. Loved the fresh air, that’s why we came. Coming back with more people from our condos.

One day I wish to stay at the hotel but I've only visited the casino. We visited the casino twice and liked the selection of slots. I wanted to return the 2nd day to experience the Asian restaurant. Both myself and my boyfriend loved the dishes we ordered. Staff was very nice. Only complaint is that it needed more people working at the Players Club. ATM ticket redemption needed bigger lighting.

My wife and I were just there from 6/9 to 6/11. For our 15 year wedding anniversary. Overall it was pretty good but not like it was before the remodel. We are older and have trouble with mobility so we asked for a king room with handicap accessible. The room was clean but that was it. The only place to sit is on the lone office chair, the bed is not comfortable at all. When we checked out we were hurting more than when we got there. We enjoyed previous visits, but this time was it. We won't be returning.

My wife and I was celebrating our 28 year anniversary. We stayed at the hotel, attending a concert, ate at Whiskey Prime, and Cedars. The hotel room was very nice but a little pricey. We ate the best meal in the last five years from Whiskey Prime. From the appetizer, entree, and dessert. The meal was fantastic and the service was magnificent. I had the shrimp wrapped in bacon, the 18oz ribeye, and the cheese cake. The meal took me on a journey of deliciousness. We was able to meet the chef and he was delightful (Mr Dean). You can tell he loves his job and loves to serve. Barbara was our waitress and she was absolutely fantastic. We had breakfast in the Cedars Restaurant in the morning on our way home. It had a bit of a wait but it lived up to the wait. We had a great time and we can’t wait to go back. Spoil yourself and enjoy a night at Angels of the Winds Casino Resort.

Clean, nice layout, good machine variety, and having bowling as a non-gambling entertainment option is great. Though we did not stay at the hotel, I can at least say the lobby is nice and comfortable. Ate at Katie's Kitchen, and it was very good for the price (the reuben deal was hard to pass up and worth every penny). That being said, the winning factor here is easily the location. Geographically speaking, I think this is the best casino I personally have been to.

I love all the additions they made a few years back, they still have the super old games everybody loves. The rooms are amazing (the showers!) I will forever love the little food kitchen open 24-7 with the best strawberry shortcakes. So unique. The only place with them made this way!!

Very clean and well maintained hotel and casino. The entire place is 100% smoke free. We went there for a guys night out and stayed at the hotel one night on the weekend. Most photos were taken late morning before the place got really busy. They have good restaurants, bowling alley, and other entertainment options. All the staff we interacted with were very friendly and professional. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and had a great time.

I especially enjoy no smoking! Some machines have phone chargers in them.The pulled pork sandwich meal located in the bowling alley was absolutely great. All the workers I met were very cordial, their help appreciated. Also, the area put aside in the parking lot was superb, I am fifty seven feet long and had no problem parking. A bonus is that the fuel station is right as you leave the RV parking lot! With pricing that is hard to beat.

My first time ever stepping foot in the Angel of the Winds casino resort and i was treated so well. I was given a free nights stay for winning a jackpot on a slot machine and with the one gesture they came to hold value in my eyes as i’ve won tens of thousands from other local casinos and been given nothing, not even an escort to my vehicle upon leaving with my winnings. The casino was smoke free clean and attended by caring and thoughtful employees. the resort was spotless and rooms very large clean and with luxurious comforts that normally come at a price four times that of which they ask. i recommend stopping by should you find yourself in the area. grab a players card if you choose to play it’s worth the benefits. or if you’re just looking to stay at a five star resort for the price of a truck stop motel you wouldn’t be disappointed regardless of how you choose to spend your time there.

I’ve only visited the resort three times but I’ve had a blast every time. The gaming areas are very clean and have an elegant feel to them. The atmosphere is very welcoming although it can get crowded and loud that’s expected in a casino/resort. The staff at the players club are so friendly and welcoming they are also extremely polite and I feel like that is rare in the service industry. My spouse absolutely loves the complementary non alcoholic drinks available to the public. I would definitely give this place a chance if you’re looking for something to do on date night.

I go here about 3 times a week. It's a lot of fun. I usually eat at Katie's Kitchen. The food there is decently priced and it's good for a quick meal. I recommend the chilli cheese fries. They have a variety of slots to play, table games, and automated roulette. Like anything else involving gambling. Bring what you can afford to lose and know when it's time to step away. That way you can ensure that you have a great time

We stayed at the RV resort and were really impressed by everything. Very clean!! Will be back very soon. Fun things to do. Only wish sites had mature trees for added shade and privacy but saw they are all freshly planted. Also with the addition of more sites and yurts, another pool or a splash pad should be added elsewhere so that the one is not so packed.

I've stayed here before and it's always clean and immaculate. Beautiful bathrooms and shower too! For some reason though, we were in a room that had very little sound protection and we heard *every* sound they made including a nasty cough someone had. I think the adjoining door had something to do with that. I really didn't enjoy the room for this reason but also didn't want a room switch request so late at night, but had that not happened (it didn't before) I would have a whole different story.Casino, food and staff are amazing.

We stayed in the RV Park. It was very nice. Nice staff, showers, rv sites. Indoor pool was good hoping they get the jets in the hot tub fixed.Everything was great. If I were able to make a wish?… I’d like an outdoor pool. I would definitely go there again!

I rarely write reviews. From the front desk when we arrived, to the bartenders, the waitresses in the restaurants, and everyone else from top to bottom were amazing! We live in a county with casinos, and thery are in no way comparable to what we received at Angel of the winds. . we all had so much fun and agreed that if only this place was in California, We would do family reunions there all the time. We had a great stay, your staff was amazing, the food was good, if only we would’ve won millions lol

I always fuel up here because it’s the best deal anywhere. I finally went in and got my players club card to get even cheaper fuel and some good deals when I come to the casino. A friend told me if you have a military ID you get 15% off rooms, restaurants and 15 cents off already cheap gas. I wish I could remember the gentleman’s name that helped me but he was extremely helpful, easy to talk to and gave me a few tips on how to use the card. I’ll definitely be back to check out the rest of what the area and casino has to offer. I didn’t get to check out any rooms so I can’t comment on that. I might in the future.

We spent the night for the first time because our granddaughter was participating in a bowling tournament. We were very impressed by the joy in all the employees who work there. It is not easy at times to find people who enjoy being at work which tells a lot about the establishment they are working for. The rooms were so clean! the tv was amazing. The beds were comfortable. The food places had great food at great prices. Drinks are free any time. The bowling alley was amazing. the food there was also great with great prices. The casino didn't feel crowded and it is all smoke free which is awesome. We will definitely be back soon.

Far away from where we live. Buy just had to go since it's been several years. It's nice, bigger. Love they have a value Cafe part. Went in for a quick lunch. Walked out $30 a head. Then went and got some cheap gas. Good job Angel of the Winds.

Everyone was so kind and helpful! The room was very clean and comfortable. The fan in the bathroom doesn’t work. The fridge wouldn’t hold a regular size To-go box for food cuz it’s so small. Other than that, wonderful stay!

This off-the+beaten-path casino gets a Bonus star because it's just so dang cute! Immaculately appointed common areas, with great restaurants (210 Brewery & Sports Bar and an Asian fusion restaurant that was booked-up when we arrived at 7pm on a Sunday) and crazy-cheap gas... 4 cents cheaper than the (rival) Indian gas station on I-5.

We absolutely love this hotel. Every year we drive to Seattle for vacation in August. We drive 12 to 13 hrs to get to Seattle, but a must stop before heading into Seattle is Angel of the Wind hotel and we have never had a bad stay. The rooms are so clean and the service is above and beyond. They are so friendly and helpful. The casino is clean and smoke free, which for two people who have reaction to cigarettes smoke is a plus. We went bowling in there bowling ally which was so fun. The restaurant are amazing. The Asian fusion restaurant is mind blowing.Every morning I had a coffee from the coffee bar and perfect each time. I can't suggest this hotel more if you headed to USA. This hotel is also minutes away from the outlet mall and great shopping. See you next year Angel of the Wind❤️
