Family Mini-Getaway

Families looking for a nearby escape will love the many hotels with indoor or outdoor pools. The kids can stay occupied for hours, and when they are ready to venture out, there are so many places to visit like the Family Fun Center for kids of all ages to play mini golf, bumper boats, batting cages, laser tag and other arcade games. Seattle Southside is the bowling capital of the Northwest, so any fans of the pastime will find a perfect venue to perfect their throw. Still have energy to burn? Defy, the world’s largest indoor trampoline court is the place to release the wiggles. With ninja warrior style obstacle courses, bounce rooms and dodgeball courts, the kids are sure to leave exhausted but happy.

For your second day, start out with an early morning matinee at AMC Theatres in Westfield Southcenter. Then enjoy lunch at the food court or hit up kid-pleasing Olive Garden, Bahama Breeze or The Old Spaghetti Factory. Then venture out to The Museum of Flight to experience the magic of flight.

Friend Reunion

Reconnect with your bestie on a friends' staycation. The Spa at Cedarbrook Lodge will provide the relaxing time to unwind as you get manicure or pedicures and catch up together. Head to Westfield Southcenter to find the perfect addition to your wardrobe and then grab happy hour at one the many nearby restaurants. Don’t forget to get your chocolate fix on a factory tour at Seattle Chocolate with tons of tasty samples and a gift shop that fulfills all your chocolatey dreams.

If you are more into sports or games be sure to catch a Major League Rugby game at Starfire Sports and cheer on the two-time champs, Seattle Seawolves. Afterward head to Buffalo Wild Wings to catch any game on the many TVs. If gaming is more your style, check out Dimension XR for interactive virtual laser tag, Waterland Arcade for all the vintage arcade games from your youth, or Legacy Gaming for PC or console gaming.
