Travel with Children
From aquariums teeming with sea life to cowboys riding bucking broncos,
the Pacific Northwest will spark any child's imagination. Whether you head
to the coast, the mountains or rolling farmland, you'll be greeted with kind-
ness and patience - this is a culture that loves kids and knows how to
treat families right, whether they're giving wee ones a glimpse of rural life
(who doesn't like to milk goats?) or showing them public art that was de-
signed to be scaled by the younger set.
Best Regions for Kids
Seattle
Kids will love the Pacific Science Center, Children's Museum, Seattle Aquarium,
Woodland Park Zoo and Pike Place Market. Nearby, Tacoma's Point Defiance Zoo &
Aquarium boasts sharks
and
elephants.
Portland
Frolicking fountains, the world-class Oregon Zoo, and hands-on museums, including
the Children's Museum and World Forestry Center.
Oregon Coast
Miles of beaches, plus the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport, the less flashy
Seaside Aquarium, and Port Orford's dinosaur-filled Prehistoric Gardens.
Vancouver, Whistler & Vancouver Island
Vancouver highlights are Stanley Park, the Vancouver Aquarium and Granville Is-
land's Kids Market. And what could be better than British Columbia's Victoria Bug
Zoo, home to millipedes and tarantulas?
