NORTHWEST MUSEUM OF ARTS AND CULTURE REVIEWS
Had a wonderful time at the MAC. Originally went to see the Minecraft Exhibit, but ended up spending several hours checking out the other exhibits and the Historic Campbell house. I was actually blown away by how interested my pre-teen was with the history of the Campbell house, we enjoyed it as much as the Minecraft Exhibit that we went to see. It was all included with the admission for the one exhibit, so I'd definitely say the price is absolutely worth it.
If you usually get all your culture from your yogurt. Get off the couch and go see the Campbell house. Great actors portraying the Campbells and their staff. The house is specially decorated for the Holiday season. Make it an annual event. A season pass costs just a few dollars more than a single admission and lets you see most of the museum for a year.
We've been visiting the museum for several years and became members last year which includes free entry. They have had a number of great exhibits and staff are very friendly. Highly recommend.

BLUE ZOO AQUARIUM REVIEWS
Amazing! They are so great here. We came in slightly after for the mermaid per the request of my 6 year old for birthday wish. We loved everything about this place. Shaylee at the front made sure we got in quick and we’re able to see the mermaid to make my littles birthday wish come true! Ash had amazing knowledge about all the sea creatures and helped my littles feed the stingrays which was such a cool experience. Trever was awesome with the bird room. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The variety of animals you could interact with was super cool. Great place for kids! Would highly recommend going if you haven’t been already.
We had so much fun even as adults! The staff is so friendly and helpful. All the fish and reptiles are beautiful. Highly recommend paying for feeding tokens! We spent a good portion of our time petting and feeding the stingrays. Spent about an hour and a half to two hours there and it was honestly so much more than we expected to get for how affordable the tickets were. Everyone seems to really care about the animals there and it feels like all the animals are really well taken care of. I cannot recommend this experience enough. It is truly magical.
We got to pet and feed the stingrays, feed birds, see many fish and reptiles, learn about diving, go on treasure hunt with a pirate and make friends with mermaids. Staff is very friendly and seem to enjoy teaching children about the animals.

CAT TALES WILDLIFE CENTER REVIEWS
What a treat! A great way to spend an afternoon with family. Visitors will get a much more intimate experience than if they visited a full-fledged zoo - and for a fraction of the price. Caretakers are full of information about not only the various species who live here, but have great stories to share about each individual animal. There is more to see here than only cats - bears, foxes, and a sassy raccoon also call Cat Tales home.
Most of the small animals were in the shade napping but some of the bigger critters were out sunbathing they were definitely adorable and reacted very well when talking to them its definitely a family friendly place great to take kids too if you have any.
Had a fantastic time learning on our guided homeschool group tour! We enjoyed the beautiful creatures. From the tigers lounging in the sun to the foxes begging for treats.
