Best Spring Break Activities and Outings for Families Around Seattle

Head to these indoor family destinations on a day you need to let your rain jackets dry.

• Visit a museum, try your hand at splatter painting or visit an inclusive playground. All these and more top the list of our favorite sensory-friendly outings.
• Let the kids dig to their hearts’ content in the state’s largest indoor sandbox.
• Pair indoor playtime for them with a little luxury for you: Nick’s Magnificent offers open and imaginative play spaces, alongside a café menu with gourmet food and bubbly drinks.
• Speaking of bubbles, don’t miss out on a giant ball pit and more immersive experiences at Bubble Planet!
• Tackle your email inbox or get a little work done while the kids play at Laro Tayo, an indoor playground with community at its heart. If you’re farther north, head to Nixi City for a playdate (and a coffee).
• Be the next contestant on Great Big Game Show, or try your hardest to break free from The Escape Game next door. (Or take a tip from our editor’s playbook and do both on the same day!)
• Let the kids bounce off the walls, paint a piece of art or putt-putt their heart out at these indoor activity spots, whether you are looking for a place in Seattle and the Eastside, or South Sound. 
• Want to get out of the house and learn something new? These great children’s museums will do the trick.
• Keep the educational fun going by checking out a few new books from a destination library.
• The weather might be getting warmer, but we’re just a bit early for outdoor swimming season. Get an early taste of summertime adventures while splashing at these great indoor swimming pools.
• Are your tweens and teens itching to test-drive their independence? We’ve got some outing ideas for that. If you want to tag along, we have activities for that, too.
