It’s great for kids and families. There are usually interactive exhibits and a scavenger hunt throughout the museum. There’s an art studio for kids, a snack shop, and a store.

What an interesting museum, the textiles section was a wow, and the glass spectacular to see. Very well laid out and easy to navigate. Staff are always there to answer questions. Very clean and well maintained. I would highly recommend this museum

So much art! It really sucks we don’t have any good museums in Olympia but Tacoma is only 30 minutes away. We will try to come up more often!
