If you are traveling with children, or you need to occupy some cranky kids for an afternoon, head for the Children’s Museum Of Tacoma. Not only will all enjoy themselves, but you’ll all come away a little bit more informed.

The Museum's imaginative environment reaches beyond home and school experiences, nurturing growth and development as young children and their adults explore the world together. Check out cool exhibits like…

• Smart Moves with Food and Fitness, where dramatic and explorative play lets adults and children discover healthy options in selecting foods and beverages, and try their hand at the kids' yoga workout studio or the climbing wall.
• Bank on It! Where exhibit activities and games focus on viewing money through three lenses: spending, saving, and sharing.
• New Digs, an interactive neighborhood brimming with container gardens, window boxes, a produce stand and delivery truck where the kids learn to sort, count, weigh, buy and sell fruits and vegetables. Garden-to-table connections are made as children roleplay in the sidewalk cafe, whipping up tasty treats or ordering a fresh lunch. You and the kids will love it. After all, it’s not really school, just playing with some new friends.

Admission is free every first Friday. Go to the website for hours and admission information.
