  • The Washington State Spring Fair is on for 2024! Read our Spring Fair guide to know how to catch the racing pigs, DockDogs or the new Hip Hop Juggler show. The Spring Fair takes place over two weekends, Thursday–Sunday, April 11–14 and Thursday–Sunday, April 18–21.
  • Head to Bellevue’s historic Kelsey Creek Farm to meet barnyard critters right in town. The barnyard is open daily, 9 a.m.–3 p.m.
  • Farrel-McWhirter Park in Redmond welcomes kids to meet its resident farm critters. You’ll also find a play area, picnic spots and connections to lots of great nature trails, including wider, stroller-friendly ones.
  • The critters at Old McDebbie’s Farm range from goats to kangaroos! You can also reel in a trout from the farm’s private fishing pond. This spot is open Friday–Sunday during spring.
