Give the Gift of Experience: 25 Activity-Packed Present Ideas

For kiddos who can’t get enough action, thrill them with an adrenaline rush. Catch some air and skydive with the pros at iFLY Indoor Skydiving. Try it once or sign up for flight school for one-on-one coaching.

Or teach them the ropes and take your thrill seekers rock climbing. Seattle Bouldering Project offers camps for youth ages 4 and older, and other fave climbing facilities, such as Edgeworks Climbing + Fitness (formally Stone Gardens) and Vertical World, will keep even the most energetic of kids on their toes.

And if the zip lines at the neighborhood park have lost their luster, check out Canopy Tours NW on Camano Island. Family-owned and -operated, it provides family-friendly forest adventures via six zip lines.
