If you’re like me, and well most other parents, we are always seeking new, fun and exciting events and experiences to share with our little darlings on any given day, but most of us tend to stick with word-of-mouth or we find places by the random web search. So here’s my word-of-mouth guide to kid-friendly resources to help plan your week in Redmond.
And this is my Disclosure here, Loves:
If you look at any kind of review for a place of business, know that the experience could and probably will be different for all of us! Well, unless there's like an overwhelming response of over thrity votes all in the red, then of course then we would probably be making a different assumption... but, most of the places listed below will have a Free Trial class for you to try the experience out for yourself. Try it...you may like it!
The places below that I have personally been to are great with answering questions and taking the time to explain their process and policies. It's always a great idea before trying anything new to research each business, what you want to get out of it and go in with a list of questions so that there are no suprises.
The following businesses with a * next to business name are those that I personally endorse as a fun place for kids.
