During my personal travels, I've gone for tours of quite a number of conservatories.  This one (the…read moreGaiser Conservatory) is compares favorably to many of the others I've been to, though it's decidedly on the smaller end of the scale. When I visited here I saw exotic tress, caladiums, and quite a number of cactus, but all told I didn't see anything particularly new or compelling.   Tip: This Conservatory is very close to a really beautiful formal garden with wide staircase that leads down to the entrance.  You might want to plan time to visit both if you're going to come here :-)

The Kew Gardens conservatory of Manito Park. Yes, the hothouse is a little smaller, but the…read moredisplays inside are enchanting. On a cold winter day this building will cocoon you in the essence of a warm scented bath. On a hot dry summer day you will enjoy the humid earthy sense of discovery here. If you enjoy different flora, from succulents to cacti, you will appreciate the variety of species encapsulated in such a well-organized space.

I'm sure it was a lovely time. I don't know, I had no inclination to go. Unfortunately, the blaring…read morelive music was rattling my windows blocks away, down in Peaceful Valley. Nothing says, "weekend relaxing after a week of unpaid overtime" like brass horns and vocalists who go flat more often than they're on pitch. Thanks for that.

A free annual arts festival featuring music, food trucks, drinks, and scores of local artist…read morebooths. Apparently, the Northwest Museum of Arts and Cultire organizes it and 2018 was their 33rd year! It was held in Coeur d'Alene Park in 2018 but I'm not sure if it lives there exclusively. It ran Friday to Sunday with special events and performances throughout. Artist selection was average to strong with perhaps 50+ individual vendors. Prices are about what you'd expect, which is to say 30-50% more than what seems reasonable. Still, I saw some beautiful original paintings for around $300+ which isn't bad at all. There's a healthy mix of style, from crowd pleasing Pier-1 Importsy junk to boutiquey crafty "up-cycled" junk to the occasional purveyor of uncompromsing singular artistic visions. Whew. Wood, silver nitrate, clay, bone, antler, acrylic, cotton, pewter, glass, pixels... whatever. The world is a wellspring. Some merchants are cash only so come prepared. There's an ATM on-site but who wants those fees eh? There were around a dozen odd food trucks in 2018. Bathrooms are port-a-potties and they were impeccably clean and hardly touched the old gag reflex. The neighborhood gets parked up fast so arrive before 10am and save some hassle. The area seems to be experiencing a hipster renaissance, so be prepared to pay extra for local dining and have roll protection for your ocular balls secured well in advance. Overall an outstanding time and FREE!

The first weekend of the month you get in for free with a B of A credit card. There are 3 floors with changing exhibits. A small gift shop with nice things. Admission includes building across the street and the Campbell House next door. We'll worth the Admission. We also walked the neighborhood to see the houses. Bring a picnic lunch and make a day of it.

Visited during the holidays, with my husband and kid, and looked at the reviews before we went. Was…read moreexcited to see all the different activities they have and the science experiments to go along. Our kid had a blast and is still talking about it! The only thing we didn't love is that the space is small, and there was often not room for us parents to be involved or even sit back and watch, and not really any places to sit. The tables for some of the activities were also adult height and which meant a lot of kids were either having to climb up on stools or be held up. It seemed to me that they could have had fewer activities to give the activities they have more space for kids and parents. But, again, the most important part is that the kid had fun.

This is a great place to take the kids. Especially when the weather isn't great…read more The staff is incredibly friendly and the kids have a blast. I do wish there were more staff so there could be one at each activity to try and bring some kind of order to the chaos. When they are busy there are A LOT of kids running around and not all parents pay attention, and things can get a little nuts. I think it would also be helpful to have them there to encourage the kids to give new things a try and show them how to do it. I of course will do this myself, but some stations even I was unsure about

This is a very unique park offering panoramic views of the city, a massive manicured lawn, and the…read moreMoore-Turner Heritage Gardens. The north side of the park has an expansive sloped lawn that is kept lush and tidy. It's great for resting and lying in the sun, but doesn't serve as well for sports and games since it's on a pretty steep incline. Moving south across the parking area, you'll find access to the Moore-Turner Heritage Gardens, which are a real hidden gem. The gardens are well-tended, secluded, and wonderfully arranged. The downside is that the gardens are gated and kept on a separate schedule. The schedule isn't great in the best of times (IMO) and during Covid it's been completely shut down. Running alongside the gardens is the "Tiger Trail" which is basically a set of rough-hewn stone steps leading up to the overlook on W. Cliff Drive. Great views up here and it is a popular place for folks to park, stroll, or lounge briefly and take in the views. The surrounding neighborhood is also a sight to behold and worthy of a walking tour in its own right.

The shows are so well done and the entire group of staff and actors are incredibly fun to work with. They are like one big crazy family.

The theater is very small and located in a strip mall off the Pines Exit but don't be put off by these humbler trappings...the interior is well done. They just got new theater seats this past year.
