Tacoma Kids

Although we have many friends who are members and go regularly, the Children’s Museum has been a special destination for daddy & son bonding for our family, so I never realized before that the Children’s Museum offers free admission on the first Friday of each month. If you have never been in before, mark your calendar for the first Friday and check it out. March 7 is the next free admission day!

They will also offer free admission Thursdays in June, July and August in conjunction with the Farmers Market, and they offer half-price admission 3 to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays.

All that fun and great deals too! Check out their website for more info: www.childrensmuseumoftacoma.org

Tacoma Art Museum is offering some cool sounding summer art camps for kids ages 9-14; the information from their press release is printed below. We love the museum and have braved it with Reilly for the Eric Carle exhibit and a few other short visits with lots of adults to help monitor “Mr. Touchy-Hands.” We look forward to Reilly being old enough to take part in more of these kinds of things — these camps look fun!

For a list of more family/kids events at the museum, visit the Families & Children link under the Events and Programs tab on the website.

Would love to hear some feedback from any who attend!  Press Release follows: (more…)
