A children's museum in Tacoma's museum district with Pay As You Will admission: water and sand areas, a big climbing structure, and a quiet toddler corner, with the Museum of Glass's glass bridge and the LeMay car museum a block away.

💡 Tips
Weekend mornings are quiet; the hot shop glassblowing demonstrations at the Museum of Glass are also great for kids. Combine with Point Defiance for a Tacoma day trip.
