Museums and Things 

Butterfly Garden at the Pacific Science Center

There are many kid-friendly museums to take the kids to (besides children's museums - which we also love), and if you plan it right, you can get the whole family in for free. 

Tip: check out the King County Library System's website and search for Museum Passes - and you'll find several museums, including Kids Quest Museum and Bellevue Art Museum offering free passes for the whole family.
