1. Visite d'une chocolaterie

What's better than gifting your visitors delicious, locally made sweets? Taking them straight to the source so they can see how it's made. At Seattle Chocolate Factory, you can all take a guided tour, where you'll get a bird's eye view of the 60,000 square foot factory, see how the magic happens, and taste plenty of treats along the way. The tours are about an hour-long, but you'll want to leave your group a little time after to peruse the gift shop for the brand's famous Maeve and jcoco chocolates. Create a mix-and-match bag of mini truffles in lots of different flavors, and grab seasonal truffle bars for gifts.

Pro Tip: The tour is fun for adults and kids, but best for those aged 6 and older.

2. Émerveillez-vous devant les avions et les engins spatiaux

Whether you're entertaining little kids, teens, or older adults, The Museum of Flight is genuinely a hit with people of all ages. With hundreds of vintage air and spacecraft (many of which you can climb inside freely), a realistic Space Shuttle Trainer Crew Compartment, a designated kid section, and thoughtful exhibits showcasing heroic figures throughout history, it would not be an exaggeration to say it's among the most broadly appealing museums in the country. Toddlers can roam freely without you worrying that they'll annoy other visitors, and thoughtful accessibility programs make it easier for people of all abilities to enjoy the exhibits. There's a special tour for those who are vision impaired, sensory days, and more.

3. Defy Gravity at iFLY: Indoor Skydiving

If you’ve ever wanted to skydive but you’ve been too afraid to jump out of a plane, iFLY is a great place to start. The 10-story vertical wind tunnel gives the sensation of skydiving without the fear of a faulty parachute. Step inside and feel the wind lift you off your feet! The best part about iFLY: ages 3 to 103 are all welcome to try it!

Pro Tip: Got an adrenaline junkie in your family? Use our full Thrill Seekers Itinerary to show them the time of their life.

4. Leap Through the Air

Leap, fly, and land in a foam pit. Sky Zone is a blast for the kid in everyone. Think of it as a massive trampoline gym mixed with American Ninja Warrior. It’s a free running/parkour paradise that kids and adults can both enjoy. It’s also a fun way to get a workout in, just be sure to pace yourself as there’s a lot of fun to be had in this metropolis of joy.

5. Visit Des Moines Beach Park

Des Moines Beach Park is the definition of a hidden gem. Located on the Puget Sound waterfront, it's a scenic destination year-round. If it's warm out, pack a picnic and enjoy the wide-open spaces, breathtaking views, and fresh air. In autumn, enjoy the bright fall foliage. And if you're there in the evening, you'll catch one of the most stunning sunsets in Western Washington. Read about the park's touching history.

6. Take a Stroll at the Highline SeaTac Botanical Garden

Admirez la beauté des paysages du Highline SeaTac Botanical Garden, qui est ouvert au public et gratuit toute l'année. Avec de nombreux jardins différents qui sont en pleine floraison à différents moments, vous êtes toujours sûr de trouver quelque chose de beau, même au cœur de l'hiver. Du jardin japonais Seike et son histoire mouvementée à la roseraie en passant par le jardin de célébration, vous êtes sûr de trouver quelque chose de fantastique en fleurs.

6. Go Bowling

Seattle Southside is the de facto bowling capital of the Pacific Northwest. While there are several places to bowl, one of our favorites is Bowlero. With over 30 lanes, billiards, shuffleboard, an arcade, a full bar, and lots to eat, your crew will be entertained for hours.

Round1 Bowling & Arcade, located right at Westfield Southcenter, is another great option if you want bowling, arcades, and private karaoke.

7. Taste Local Mead at Oppegaard Meadery

If you have guests who love trying new, unique drinks, we've got just the place for you. Locally owned Oppegaard is a delightful, family-friendly meadery serving small-batch, handcrafted mead. Order a round of this ancient honey wine, grab a board game off the shelf, and play a few rounds with the fam.

8. Venez vous défouler à la salle d'arcade Waterland

Waterland Arcade recrée l'ambiance classique d'une salle d'arcade rétro, proposant un accès illimité à toutes sortes de flippers et de jeux vidéo classiques. De plus, vous pouvez y déguster de la bière artisanale et du cidre, acheter des cadeaux et des objets de collection rétro, et même des cassettes VHS ! L'établissement organise aussi régulièrement des soirées à thème avec quiz, karaoké et DJ sets ; consultez donc le site web et les pages des réseaux sociaux de la salle d'arcade pour connaître les dernières actualités.
