The price is extremely low and the ship is huge. The staff go to a great effort to show you around the whole ship and encourage you to tough all the controls. Kids as young as 3 can run around safely and grab items to their hearts extent. Older kids can learn what it must have been like 100 years ago to work on this interesting boat. I highly encourage anyone who is visiting Anacortes to go see this attraction.

I spent about an hour here and it was really cool that they had themed areas. I will say that a lot of families come here with children, so that felt a little bit overstimulating at times. If you come here, try to come during off hours maybe to try and get a more quiet experience.

The history of Canada, Vancouver Island, and the Trans-Canadian Railroad were also displayed. Other miniature dioramas displayed science fiction scenes, fairy tales, scenes from literature, and the circus. The final wing was all miniatures of King Arthur and Knights of the Round Table. Well worth the nominal price of admission if you are on holiday with your kids.

This Preston operated in the Puget Sound for decades removing snags, logs and hazards from the navigable waterways. The boat is well-preserved, with all of the gauges, controls, boilers and other equipment in place. The curators have binders full of pictures of the crew and operations over the years. You enter the boat in the engine room, are greeted by a curator, then turned loose to explore the rest of the vessel on your own. The first deck is machinery space, the second deck is crew accommodations and the third deck is the galley, wheelhouse and officer's quarters. $5 entry fee. I recommend setting aside about an hour to explore the boat and take it all in.

There are about five parking spots in the small lot right next to the museum and street parking otherwise. The day that we went was actually the first day that it was open after being closed for a while. We explored some of the exhibits and one thing that caught our eye was an art piece that seemingly had some trash (like a burger bun wrapper) which was confusing. When we left we talked to the docent and she explained that it's there on purpose and many people had been asking about the very same thing. There were also some other exhibits of local artists on both the first and second floors. There's also a gift shop if you want to shop around. It's a nice place to check out some local art and support local artists.
