Wander through nature
Some kids are known to recoil when they hear the word “hike.” So, just call it a “winter wander” or an “adventure in the green.” Pack the trail mix or any enticing snack, and you’re on your way.
- These kid-friendly nature walks are right in town, so you can skip the long car ride. (Find one of them at Discovery Park, where there are tons of fun things to do with kids.)
- Take a scenic winter hike and enjoy the fresh air, quiet forest and babbling brooks.
- Explore the Kitsap Peninsula with kid-friendly hikes.
- If hikes aren’t your family’s thing but you still want to explore local wonders, visit one of these enchanting trolls. You could also explore a local tree house, fort or hobbit home.
- At this beautiful, peaceful in-city oasis, cross small stone bridges, dip your fingers in the pond and enter a fairy-tale forest.
- Kid-friendly urban hikes around Tacoma lead you and your crew right to the water’s edge.
