Grandkids visiting? Looking for somethng to do that's superior to video games? A visit to the Hands On Children's Museum is just the place - hey, they might even learn something about the Pacific Northwest! Well layed out, safe,and of enough interest to keep their attention for hours. There are enough interesting things to do that it may take you... More

Had a blast with kids age 4 boy & 2 girl. The creativity for all of the rooms and detail is awesome. Could have stayed longer but nap time was calling...
