Heritage Museum and Gardens Never Fails

Yet again another great day at Heritage Museum and Gardens. Our membership more than pays for itself. This was our third visit of the summer and there will be many more.

The latest activity area for kids "Hidden Hollow" is absolutely wonderful. From the point of entry through the natural arbor to the 3 story tree house there are activity stops and centers along the way.

Don't quote me on this but I believe the tree house was designed by renowned tree house builder Pete Nelson from Seattle, WA. The tree house which appears to be nearing completion is already spectacular and we haven't even set foot in it yet.

The kids can dress up and put on a skit on the stage/amphitheater or as our kids do just fill and re-fill the watering cans at the hand pump. The fabric available to the kids among the Rhododendrons can occupy a child's fertile imagination for hours. Tie the fabric off to make a hammock or simply run through the woods with a cape on an adventure.

The scavenger hunt draws them frantically through every nook and cranny of the Hollow helping them learn and see all of the activities and action. After a couple of hours of fun in the Hollow and a picnic lunch, we are off to the carousel and other exiting activities at Heritage.
