- Wandering the Seattle Waterfront: Yes, it's touristy, but with an aquarium, a carousel, boat-tour docks, and, best of all (at least as far as I'm concerned), Ye Olde Curiosity Shop, this is the sort of waterfront that keeps kids entertained for hours.
- Doing a Daffy Duck Tour: It's an open-air bus tour. No, it's a boat tour. No, it's both, and it's exceedingly silly, especially if you opt for your own duck-billed "quacker" noisemaker. Kids love these daffy duck tours aboard army surplus amphibious vehicles. Just remind them that the family minivan does not belong in the lake.
- Seeing Seattle Center: With a science museum, an IMAX theater, a children's museum, a children's theater, and a choreographed multimedia fountain to play in, this is Seattle's ultimate kid zone.
- An Outing to the Snoqualmie Valley: Little ones enamored of Thomas the Tank Engine will adore the Northwest Railway Museum and affiliated Snoqualmie Valley Railroad. In summer, you can pick berries on local "U-pick" farms; and, in the fall, you can see salmon spawning at a fish hatchery. Then there's Camlann Medieval Village, where there are all sorts of fun activities all year.
- EMP/SFM (Experience Music Project/Science Fiction Museum): If you've got teenagers in tow, drop them at this pair of affiliated museums and they'll stay happy for hours. EMP focuses on rock music with lots of cool interactive exhibits, while the SFM has loads of props from Hollywood's most famous sci-fi movies.
