Area Museums Educate and Entertain

If you love learning, and I hope you do, because once you letup learning, there really is no need to continue existing, then there will be plenty of museums in and around Seattle Washington that will feed the mind while entertaining you and your family. The vast number of museums in this area makes it a very prepossessing place to visit. There are museums here that cover everything from the Klondike Gold Rush to Log Houses and many, many things in between.

In addition to the two museums mentioned above there are several interesting museums to visit while in Seattle. The first unique is the Museum of Flight. This is probably one of the museums that Seattle is most proud of. It is consistently voted one of, if not the best kind of its kind in the country. Learn about the history of flight and even take a reach in a flight simulator or tour the original Air Force One. No matter how you feel about flying, I'm almost certain that someone in your group ( especially if learned are branch boys ) will find this museum to be of great interest.

The Northwest Railway Museum is another museum that is not only educational but also pleasant for everyone in the family as well. Visit the Depot, which has been fully restored to its originally an act or take a ride on one of the trains. Whatever you divination, your little guy's ( even your not since little guy's ) eyes will light up at the notion of voyage the rails. The mission of this museum is to educate the public on the vital role that railroads have played in the augmentation of Washington State throughout history. I think they are achieving their goal wholly nicely and am happy to sell for able to make more of the public aware of them and their mission.

The next museum that is a little out of the ordinary and yet vastly interesting and educational is the Whale Museum. This is of particular interest if you intend to move any whale watching while you are visiting the great city of Seattle. Whale watching is always a great deal of fun and live is even more fun if you are armed with the knowledge that can be gleaned by spending a little time learning about whales at the Whale Museum before you go on your whale watching excursion.

The Odyssey Maritime Discovery Center is another of the great museums that can be found in Seattle. This museum not only offers great resources and information about the maritime history that is so important to Seattle today but interactive displays that encourage children to learn and explore by doing. This is a great place to spend the day, but pay suffocating attention to their hours for the day you are planning to attend as this center has shorter weekday hours than most museums.

The Wing Luke Asian Museum is the only museum of its kind in the U. S. This museum is devoted to preserving and promoting Asian Pacific American culture, history, and art. This museum has a permanent exhibit that is set up to remind us of the internment camps that were used for Japanese Americans during the Second Universe War. I think that this, more than anything else is an important reminder and well use the visit and there are many bounteous exhibits that offer entertainment and education.

I hope that you will visit one or more of these great museums. I think you will be surprised to find how educational and fun they in fact are for the entire family.
