As one of the largest children's museum in the Pacific Northwest, Hands On Children's Museum celebrates play and believes it is essential for healthy childhood development. The museum is a great place to visit year-round, offering a fabulous arts & parts studio, MakeSpace, Snug Harbor early learning center (birth- 4yrs), and ten themed galleries heavily influenced by the beautiful Pacific Northwest setting, with more than 150 hands-on exhibits. The Outdoor Discovery Center offers a half-acre of outdoor exhibits, which expands the opportunities for play and learning. Hands On exhibits are all about interactive learning, whether that means role playing at a farmers market, operating a play fire engine, climbing a tree house, or building a flying machine. These activities are focused on healthy living, the arts, building, and outdoor exploration. When it comes to fun and learning, Hands On is “the place to go.”
