Children's Museum of Tacoma 1501 Pacific Avenue, Tacoma, WA 98402

"Lots of activities for kids to play. Water fountain, treehouse, cruise ship, art center, and a climbing ramp. Kids love it and can stay there for hours. Accepting donations"

"Today was our first time visiting this place and we are already talking about the next time we will come back! The donation system for entry makes it accessible to all families who are able to get there, which is so important for equity in children’s development. Our child loved the water table area the most so I was glad I had remembered to pack an extra outfit for after playing was done. Definitely recommend coming early when they open to get out energy prior to nap time."

"This is a great indoor play & discovery place for little kids. Lockers available & deli. Painting ,reading, building, scarf vacuum, indoor water play area, with apron & towels available for use."

"What a fun find! They're the only children's museum that is donation only. Very helpful for families that can't always afford $25 day passes. It was a rainy day and other parents had the same idea. It was a blast and we will Def be going again. They even had staff on hand to show the kids how to do crafts and there's a water area and a tree house area and other cool finds inside."

""I took my 5-year-old to the Children's Museum of Tacoma and we had an amazing time! The exhibits were so much fun and kept my child engaged and learning throughout our visit. We both loved the hands-on activities and interactive exhibits. The staff were friendly and informative, and they were happy to answer any questions we had. The museum was clean, organized, and felt very safe, which made me feel at ease during our visit. Overall, I highly recommend the Children's Museum of Tacoma to any parent looking for a fun and educational activity to do with their kids. It's a great way to bond with your child while also fostering their curiosity and creativity."
