Travel Guide: Things to Do in Washington with Family

Washington state is one of the most well-kept secret travel destinations in the entire country. If you plan to bring your kids along, they’re bound to have an incredible time that they’ll remember for years to come. Here are a few of our favorite things to do in Washington with family.

Go on a Boat Ride

Did you know that Washington has the nation’s largest ferry system? All you have to do is buy your tickets, and you and the entire family can explore nearby aquatic areas such as Puget Sound. It’s a great way to see more of the state and if you’re lucky, you might even see some wildlife too.

See Some Fish

Washington is home to many different species of fish. They usually spawn and grow in local streams and rivers before making their way downstream to the Pacific ocean. A good chance to see these fish up close and personal is to visit a salmon hatchery. There, you’ll be able to see the salmon climbing the salmon ladder as they make their way out into the wild.

Meet New Animal Friends

At places like the Olympic Game Farm, you can get super close to exotic animals like antelope, llamas, zebras, and bears retired from their lives in Hollywood. It is an experience, to say the least, but your kids and you will remember it forever.

Explore Seattle

There is so much to do in this city. From going to the top of the Space Needle to see the city from above to going to an MLB game, visiting the fish market, and eating some of the best seafood in the country, you can spend practically an entire week in this city alone.
