Seattle's Child

Your guide to a kid-friendly city

Children’s Day and Flipper Fest

 

As they do in Japan, Seattle Japanese Garden is celebrating Children’s Day today. Not only will you get to enjoy the garden in all its loveliness, but you’ll get to see taiko drumming and martial arts demonstrations, a puppet show, and take part in origami-making, a scavenger hunt and other hands-on activities. Admission is FREE today for ages 12 and younger.

 

Learn more about local sea creatures as you soak up the last of the weekend sun on Alki beach today, during Flipper Fest. Meet with biologists, researchers, educators and volunteers who can help you identify sea life and learn how to protect them, plus take part in lots of fun, hands-on activities.
