  3 0 If he's got a show while your friends are in town, take the kids to see Chris Ballew's kid music persona, Caspar Babypants. It's seriously fun, and the kids will dance some of their energy off. http://www.babypantsmusic.com Luckier answered in Family & Kids about 1 year ago | Report 1 comment by Rev.Enant… 0 0 unique & appropriate music = FTW - please shroom this answer!

  2 0 Ride the Ducks! (I would personally rather have root canal without anesthesia, but that sort of corny thing really appeals to most kids.) Ride the elevator up to the observation deck of the Space Needle. If they don't mind a bit of a road trip, take 'em to Enchanted Village (or Wild Waves, if they're cold-hardy). I loved going on the ferries as a kid, and I'd think that would be especially fun for kids who didn't grow up here and see them every day. Are the kids too little to skate? Renting skates and skating around Green Lake is fun. Paddleboats on Green Lake are also a blast for most little ones. As a kid, I would spend hours at Golden Gardens or Lincoln Park in all weathers, just screwing around on the beach. That works best with kids that don't live near a saltwater beach already. Alki is also fun for kids, especially if you take 'em to Spuds.

  2 0 Seattle Center--hit up the Children's Museum, the food court (it's weirdly fun), visit the various fountains, and sit on those whale sculptures. It's a good place to run around. The Sculpture Park is a great place for families, and as much fun for grownups as for kids. You could head down to the waterfront afterwards and grab fish and chips at Ivar's and check out Ye Olde Curiousity Shoppe. Depending on how old they are, the Underground Tour is fun for middle schoolers on up. And Pioneer Square in general is a cool place to walk around. Also, take them to see the Fremont Troll under the bridge, and the statue of Lenin. Then get gelato by the Lenin statue.

  2 0 take them to the Ballard Locks. Boats are cool. Fish are cool. Kids love the locks. Hell, I'm an adult and I still think it's cool to go down to the locks and watch ships and fish go through. soundslikepuget answered in Family & Kids about 1 year ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  1 0 Taking a ferry to Bainbridge Island is a good non-touristy excursion. You can go over in the afternoon as foot passengers, have dinner, then come back. Even on a rainy evening, the lights of Seattle as the boat arrives are beautiful. Tom Sackett answered in Family & Kids about 1 year ago | Report 1 comment by Penny Lane… 0 0 We love Bainbridge - added bonus: they have a new children's museum there - offer to watch the kids there while they take a couple's walk around Winslow and window shop. Blackbird Bakery is AMAZING and we always stop for a treat when we go. If you take a car, and it's nice out, Go to Battle Point Park for one of the raddest playgrounds ever. There's also an OK playground in Winslow proper.

  1 0 In general, a lot of the touristy things around the city are going to have things catered to children. So I'd take them to: Pike Place Market Seattle Center Maybe Dinner at Tutta Bella. You could also take them out to a U Pick farm to pick berries (Bonus - free labor!). There's one around here that has a lot of kid-centered activities as well. There's always the museum of flight, or any of the other local museums. I'd suggest a Sounders game, but that probably wouldn't be fun for kids, particularly if they can't sit still for more than 10 minutes. j_lee answered in Family & Kids about 1 year ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  0 0 It might be out of the way, but Fort Casey on Whidbey island is a great place for kids to run around all the secret tunnels and pretend army, its good fun for adults too. michel answered in Family & Kids about 1 year ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  0 0 If you want a downtown artsy/architectural excursion, consider the SAM (which has quite a few good children's areas, and wonderful docents), the library which has a great, huge children's area, and the sculpture park (already mentioned - hit it before 5 as the indoor area has toys and art supplies to play with, and bring your plastic bottle caps!) City Hall also is a compelling, cool space, and near the library. I've mentioned this before, but if you offer to stay with the kids in the children's area so they can have an hour to look at art like a grownup, you will be the most appreciated person ever.

  0 0 Sounders games probably aren't a good fit, but a lot of people bring kids to Storm games and at half-time the kids all get to run onto the court and do a conga line. Plus Key Arena is easily accessible from Seattle Center, where you can take 'em to the Children's Museum and play in the International Fountain if it's warm enough. Depending on just how young the kids are, you can also take them for "hikes" in one of the wooded parks (especially one with both woods and a beach, like Lincoln) or take them boating/canoeing on Lake Union.
