Farragut State Park

State park
Nature & Parks
Lakefront state park boasts hiking/skiing trails, water sports, disc golf, picnic areas & campsites.
Farragut State Park is a hidden gem! We went for a light hike through some peaceful, scenic trails that were easy to enjoy without being too strenuous. Afterward, we headed into nearby Bayview and grabbed some delicious pizza—perfect post-hike fuel. The highlight of the day was the boat ride on the lake. The weather was perfect, and the views were absolutely stunning. We spent a couple of hours soaking up the sun and admiring the natural beauty. The best part? We actually got to watch an eagle hunting—such an unforgettable moment. Definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a mix of outdoor adventure and relaxing nature vibes. Can't wait to come back!

Great State Park with several campgrounds within. Each has clean bathrooms and hot showers. More than 40+ miles of trails for fun hiking and mountain biking. The lake is beautiful for kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing and boating. Love it.
Tami W — Google review
We visited the state park on a Thursday. We arrive around noon so we couldn’t check-in to our campsite. We decided to drive around and see what it had to offer. We were completely surprised at how big the park is. Once 2 o’clock came we headed back to the visitor center and checked in. Our campsite was spacious. Dry camping only, in our loop. There was a bathhouse and toilets centrally located.

We loved our site we had 2 companion sites and were able to bring our pontoon, kept it on the camp site, we had amazing meals, hikes, and enjoyed some great times fishing can’t wait to go back next year!

Beautiful campground, friendly staff, close to town. Make sure your pets don't get off leash though, as you will get scolded, not very nicely by camp host. All in all, a very family friendly place and beautiful scenery.
Deanna S — Google review
This state park is absolutely gorgeous! The lake is stunning, and the swimming was awesome—such a perfect spot to cool off and enjoy the outdoors. The campgrounds are spacious, clean, and really well-maintained, which made the whole experience even better. Everything about the park feels cared for and inviting. I would highly recommend visiting, and I’ll definitely be coming back!
Rachel B — Google review
HUGE state park. There are a lot of great features! Favorites were: Beaver bay day use area - good swimming bay. You can't paddleboard in the bay itself, but you can launch and explore from there. Food is available for purchase at Wet Willie's, and there are rentals also. We packed in our own boards. Super busy, the parking lot was packed but it was still beautiful! Disc Golf - there are 5 courses to explore! Brig Museum - we spent so much time there and enjoyed it! We loved it and want to come back someday! It's worth noting that you can't hang hammocks from the trees while you're camping, which is a little sad. But the trees are probably better off, I suppose.

Lots of room at the campsites, quiet, great places to get in the lake, trails for hiking/biking, and not far from Athol if you need groceries or something. We loved our weekend here!

They're always very kind and knowledgeable here. There's tent camping with showers, bathrooms and potable water. I'm not an RVer but they've got RV sites and was told they're by building "glamping" treehouses so check back! There's also day parking spaces to swim, fish or picnic for the day only. We need to keep our National and State Parks funded for future generations!! Remember for our kids and grandkids 💙
Bettina — Google review
Lots are close with no privacy, there are a few that have privacy. Very quiet except for the very busy passing cars on the main road. Bathroom with showers are nice, they do not supply ANY soap. Bring your own hand soap. They only supply water and a hand blower to dry your hands. Most people were great. Friendly people. Single camping to families to retirement age. I would not bring dogs. It says dog friendly however, it takes more then just making a dog pooping are to meet "Dog Friendly" in my opinion. I think it would be great if they made a lot into a fenced dog play area.

I love the trail around the lake. Great way to exercise the dog and each section has its own unique features.

Seven Stars Alpaca Ranch

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Ranch
Sights & Landmarks
This is the only alpaca farm I have ever been to so I don't have anything to compare it to but in my opinion this is an amazing ranch. It's been 7-8 years since I went so I can't remember all the details but I do remember how much fun it was. I think we toured some cabins for rent on the property and maybe some sort of store. She took us on her Gator type vehicle through the woods and over a little stream. We got to feed the animals, and she let the kids herd the animals from one pin to the other. It was fun for the kids and adults. 10/10 recommend
L J — Google review
A beautiful little farm on the outskirts of town. Run by the most amicable owner and maintained to perfection. Plenty to see. The animals are adorable and friendly. My 3 year old, the grandparents and I all had an amazing visit here. Highly recommend! Wish we had brought a little picnic to sit and enjoy the view from the ridgeline. Check to see if this is allowed with day visits!
Susie B — Google review
We had an amazing time at the ranch the owners and the son (Clint) were so kind and made my daughter’s birthday special. This ranch is so beautiful and the animals are soooo happy and healthy.
Kayla D — Google review
It was a cold, cloudy & slightly rainy day when we made the trip up to this ranch. Little did we know we were about to meet the most amazing people we have ever met. There is love & respect everywhere you turn. The ranch, land, and the animals are impeccably cared for by Sonia and Andy. While there were so many beautiful things to see, Sonia stopped us at one point so we could listen to the wind blowing through the mountain grasslands-it was awesome. If you are anywhere near Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, you must make the trip here. It's inspiring.

We visited 7 Stars on July 24 with grandkids aged 5 and 7. It was such a great positive experience for them as well as my daughter and me. Clint was a guide and engaged the kids whenever he could. The time in the pastures with the alpaca, goats, donkeys and little ponies was great. Animals are gentle and easy to be with. Totally recommend this experience.

MUST VISIT Unbelievably nice and amazing family own this BEAUTIFUL ranch. One of our best experiences ever as you will walk and interact with amazing animals on your own. They have Alpacas, llama, goats, miniature horses and donkeys and turkeys. Animals were adorable and super friendly.

Silverwood Theme Park

Theme park
Water & Amusement Parks
Water Parks
Largest Northwest theme park offers 65+ rides, a water park, casual dining & an on-site RV park.
Exceeded all my expectations. I will break down my experience into categories: **Staff:** The staff was absolutely amazing. They seemed very happy to work there and were incredibly helpful. **Water Park:** The water park featured some fantastic rides. The changing rooms were very clean, and there were plenty of food and drink options, along with ample seating for everyone. I do recommend bringing your own towels, as they do not rent them out, but they are available for purchase. **Roller Coasters:** The park has a variety of coasters, with "Tremors" and the newer "Stunt Pilot" being particularly smooth and exciting. I’ve visited many parks across the country, and these attractions can compete with the top national brands. **Food:** The food was above average for a carnival/theme park setting. While the buffet was somewhat lackluster, it is a good deal if you plan to go back multiple times throughout the day. **Overall Pricing:** Everything, from parking to food, admission, merchandise, and souvenirs, was fairly priced. Since this park isn’t part of a nationwide corporation, you won’t encounter the corporate markup typically found at large parks like Disney or Six Flags. In summary, this was an excellent experience. We visited on July 4 and 5, and even though the crowds were a bit larger on the second day, everything remained manageable. The park was absolutely beautiful, with every detail—from landscaping to music and cleanliness—being spot on. I would definitely recommend this park to any family, and the 6.5-hour drive we made to get there was worth it.

Was great! Spent 2 days in the parks at end of June, not too busy at all. Clean, so many rides and everyone was friendly. The preloaded wristband was good for the teen to get eats as he needed, no need to carry cash with.
Barry H — Google review
Great experience at Silverwood this weekend! Visited from Montana and this amusement part was easily found with navigation. The line in moved quick. $10 parking, longer parking lanes to walk. Checked in at a bag/purse check area. Walked a running under to main road to get to the park. Entering the ticketing area was quick, buy your tickets online (you can even load cash to a wristband). Oh, don’t forget to bring a credit card or debt card with you “verify your online purchase”… The park map was helpful and easy to read. Overall, the park felt safe. Which is important! Plenty of staff and easy to get around. Great kids space with quiet areas for little ones. Consider bringing a change of clothes (socks) just in case you get wet in the raft/log rides. There were some demo coaster chairs at some entrances for trial, because not all body types work with all rides. That was considerate! The lines in general weren’t miserable but be prepared with sunscreen and to practice some patience. Have fun, hope our little review helps!
Nateal T — Google review
September was definitely a perfect time to go to Silverwood. Parking was easy. Short walk through the tunnel to the parks entrance. Tickets cost less when fall starts. Pizza was great while we got to watch the magic show. Lines were practically nonexistent. Got to go on all the rides and some multiple times because the lines were so short. Spent the whole day there from open to close and had a great time. Definitely going back next year.
Bret G — Google review
I visited Silverwood Theme Park for the first time to experience Scarywood—and it was totally awesome. Riding roller coasters in the back, in the dark, was a completely different experience. As a thriller author, I naturally look for thrills. I’m not a full-on adrenaline junkie, but the characters I write definitely live for the rush. We spent more time riding coasters than exploring the haunted houses. People later said the haunted houses were amazing, but the lines were over an hour long. I wasn’t up for that kind of wait. It was also freezing. Even though I’d bundled up, I wish I’d worn fleece pants. Not a ding on the park—just a heads-up. If you go at night in northern Idaho, be prepared for cold. Food options were solid. Parking was a bit of a bottleneck. There were still open spots, but traffic getting in was hectic. Once inside, ride lines averaged about thirty minutes, which felt reasonable. Stunt Pilot was epic. I’d ride it again in a heartbeat. Looking forward to my next visit.
Aaron A — Google review
The pass gets you unlimited rides, access to both the water park and the theme park. On the weekday the lines were reasonable. The weekend and warmer weather brought longer lines. Everything is well maintained and in food operating order. The water slide that takes you uphill is a blast. Definitely recommend during the week for shorter lines. Really fun rollercoasters and train rides.
Justin B — Google review
Everything was beautiful, pleasant and clean, including the parking lot and rest rooms! The staff were polite and respectful. Come on a weekday, not weekend. Our huge family had a wonderful time. If you attend with 15 or more guests, you qualify for a group rate, which needs to be booked ahead of time, & is so worth it! I only have one small complaint: the music was too loud. My family had to shout over each other to have a conversation. Kudos to their lifeguards, I can tell they're highly trained and take their jobs seriously. (I'm a certified lifeguard) Thank you Silverwood, we can't wait to come again next summer.
Amanda J — Google review
Just so so good. What an awesome time had by everyone in our group. We went with a big (200+) group. We got unlimited beverages and an included supper at the ChuckWagon. From the staff to the grounds to the rides, everything was super impressive and well thought out. Loved the coasters- so well designed.

Lake

The stunning Lake Coeur d'Alene presents ample opportunities for recreational activities. With its picturesque surroundings, visitors can indulge in a range of water sports, take seaplane rides or bike on multi-use trails that run along the lake. The downtown area of Coeur d'Alene has plenty of Huckleberry products and excellent dining options to explore.
We spent the 4th of July here and it was beautiful, peaceful, and so relaxing. The fireworks put on by the town over the lake were phenomenal. There is a doggie swim beach for your fur babies to enjoy! The tall pine trees that line the lake are so pretty. The kids had a blast tubing and fishing.

Beautiful Lake! Amazing place to vacation. The lake and watersports, seaplane rides, and biking/multi-use trails around the lake. Coeur d'Alene is a great little downtown to walk, with Huckleberry everything, good restaurants. Take a short boat ride from Coeur d'Alene resort to the golf course and have an amazing breakfast on the patio overlooking the floating green

Morgan M — Google review
Tubbs Hill is worth driving over from Spokane for a hike. Depending on which trail you take, there are different levels of terrain difficulty. It is a long trek around without a bathroom. Go before you start your hike.
Jessica M — Google review
Awesome place to start the hike on the east side. Parking in a lot and on the street. Can hike to the quiet beach or complete the loop around Tubbs Hill.
Norrad — Google review
Nice little hiking area. We covered most of the trails in an hour. They seem newly built and could probably use a few more switchbacks on the summit trails but it's definitely not a touch hike overall. The main loop is very easy. We parked in the east lot and had not trouble finding parking at 11am on Friday. Weekends are probably pretty busy though.
Jason W — Google review
Nice neighborhood family-friendly trail park. Great for hiking or running. The trails are well marked. Elevation gain to the summit is manageable and doable for really almost everyone! Some bird watching and lots of deer roaming in the park.

Nice little trail with views of the lake and some swim spots. Busy. Dog friendly. Parked on the opposite side of town so I didn't have to pay.
Patrick D — Google review
It was amazing, but I'm very tired. A few trails for everyone 😁, we chose the loop trail, the whole trail was up or down, but the views were fantastic. We took many photos, nature is beautiful. There were many small and large rocks, bridges, the trail led among conifers but sometimes you walked in the sun without a bit of shade 😁. It was worth it although I had the moment that I could not cope, I would not come 😳. I came, I overcome fatigue 😀

McEuen Park in Coeur d’Alene is a fantastic, family-friendly spot. It’s clean and beautifully maintained, with a fun splash pad, great playground, and plenty of open green space.

What a beautiful park right downtown! Easy access from I-90, large parking lots with designated RV parking as well. I was there on a Sunday and traffic was very light. Nice, clean dog park, although small. Gravel surface, no grass and not really much area for dogs to explore. But room to romp, run and play. There two fenced areas and fresh water stations.
Pegi S — Google review
I have come to this park since I was 12 years old and how it has changed over the years. It's a a great park situated on the shores of Lake Coeur D' Alene with lots of open area for picnics, Frisbee, Basketball, Volleyball and of course swimming and all the other lake activities. The artwork (by mostly local artists) that they have added over the years is amazing and of course finding Mudgy and Millie at various locations (a total of 5) along the trail has always been fun for the kids, inspired by a local author. Dogs are welcome and please be mindful of others so this continues to be an option for dog lovers, there are not many pet friendly area's anymore. As always leave it better than you found it and enjoy 😉.

Lots of parking right on the water. There is nice park with a beach with plenty of space, at least in September. We brought our blow up SUP and went out on the lake, the water was super clear. Parking is expensive $3.00 per hr and it says no rv

Absolutely beautiful park and beach!! Restrooms are large and clean and close to both the beach and playground. The playground is amazing, your littles may want to stay and play for quite a while there. There's plenty of room on the sandy shore for everyone. Perfect for floaties and swimming. You may want a light anchor for your floaty as there are times the current brings you back to shore. It is wheelchair accessible from the parking lot and around the cemented pathways throughout the park. I didn't see wheelchair access to the beach however. You would need to walk down a few steps to reach the sand.

Circling Raven Golf Club

Golf course
Outdoor Activities
Wow! What an amazingly beautiful course! Well worth the $179 green fee this, my 292nd course played, resides in my top 10 in scenic beauty and quality of fairways and greens. It is both challenging and fun to play! Chris in the Pro Shop, and Marshals Kirk and Don were most accommodating, friendly and professional. The Pro Shop is well-stocked and restaurant serves a great Club sandwich. I will definitely be back to play this one!
James P — Google review
I have played Circling Raven before a couple time. But I forgot how great this course really is. The front 9 is good. But the back 9 is magical. As the course wanders through the trees and up and down the rolling hills, it is one of the most beautiful settings of any coarse. It is so remote that you don’t see or hear anyone. It feels as if you are alone in the wilderness. Now the course is in great shape. There were no dead spots or imperfections. The greens ran fast and true. Probably close to 11.5. The bunkers had light fluffy sand. Some of the best I have hit out of. If you are in the area, it is a must play.
Todd S — Google review
My perspective on Circling Raven will probably be a bit different than most posts, as Kim and I were the 'ride alongs' on the boys golf day! We do this regularly on vacations and have seen many beautiful courses, HECK we live on a golf course with views. ALL staff were very friendly, welcoming, helpful and displayed a sense of humor which was a much appreciated added bonus. Circling Raven itself was a cut above most courses and absolutely breathtaking, every single hole. The way they have married the course to the natural beauty surrounding and throughout the course is exceptional and you never know what you'll see around the next bend or over the next hill. The added beauty of aged wooden bridges, old train tracks, tunnels, blooming crop fields, native wildlife (and on OUR day, those huge fluffy clouds) make this a course we'll be more than happy to crash on any future trips as well. Oh... and least I forget, the boys said the course was in top condition, challenging and made for some hilariously colorful self commentary along the way. Wonderful memories all around.
Amy A — Google review
Excellent layout, fast undulating greens. If you want to eat b4 ur round, show up early. They are in no hurry to get food out at the course restaurant.
Michael T — Google review
Just an awesome experience. Every golf fan needs to experience Circling Raven at least once. Of course, be warned that once you play, you'll be planning your next outing or at least thinking about it. Played here June 5 and conditions were spectacular. Greens are lightning fast. The pin setter needs to be reminded that most of us are tourists and not professionals. I'm guessing that over half the pins were on the edge of the greens with very little room for error. It's probably going to add a few extra strokes to your game, but still, we walked away with a sense of euphoria.
Ron P — Google review
We were there to watch our daughter play in the high school state tournament. The course was beautiful! The variety on the holes was impressive. The course is long, would highly suggest a cart. The carts have nice features like a small cooler, club and ball wash station, and GPS screens you can order from. I really appreciated the course hosting the tournament. It was an incredible opportunity for our daughter. We will definitely plan to go back and play as a family!
Alecia J — Google review
The scope a size of this course is enormous. I love that the course is in front of you. No blind/trick shot necessary. Generous fairways for a short hitter like me. Played from white tees it was less intimidating for a first time player. Good distances between holes. Very fair price.

Wow! All I can say is wow! This course was amazing! The groundskeepers did an OUTSTANDING job! The clubhouse was amazing and Jordan at the front desk of the clubhouse was very helpful!

Coeur d'Alene Casino

Casino
Nightlife
Modern casino resort with a pair of hotels, an 18-hole golf course & a spa, plus slots & bingo.
I was here for a conference. I don’t golf or gamble so location only got a 4 since if you don’t do either your options are more limited but they have a spa, golf simulator and more to keep you busy. Room was nice and clean. No issues. Service and employees were friendly as well. Food at the bar was also really good.

We enjoyed Bingo here! It's a huge bingo room with smoking and non-smoking seating. Non-smokers with breathing challenges may find it difficult as there is no truly "smoke-free" area that we didn't smell cigarettes.

Weve finally learned our lesson coming here. Most likely won’t ever be back unless we need a quick pit stop in our way out of town somewhere. After years and years of coming and everytime we say never again…and just keep coming…this time we said nope. Never again. There’s sooo much but this time as we checked in we were “greeted” by a man named David. We had to do the greeting and he acted like we were the biggest inconvenience of his life. He wouldn’t even make eye contact. Acted like he had better things to do..and we were the only ones at the desk. No line, noother people lined up. Nothing. We had to pry information out of him and continually just got smirked out for any questions we had. I finally looked at his name tag and asked if he was having a bad day and he abrubptly said “no”. You could actually tell this was his normal everyday smirky jerky personality. So that’s how you start your vacation…with him. He knows it all but doesn’t want to be kind or give you any info and if you ask he looks at you like your stupid. If you ask where a certain thing is he just says, you’ll find it! And points in the direction to go. Wow! And then you go to the players club and there’s two young girls working who obviously hate there job and hate to have to help you. Again. People are an inconvenience to anyone working there. They act like they are doing you the biggest favor by just showing their face at the desk. Have no time for questions or personality or etiquette. Worst customer service everywhere in the hotel. Seems everyone hates their jobs but still get paid for being rude to people so it works for them. Doesn’t work for us. They need more and newer restaurants. It’s always the same ole same ole deli or red tail restaurant. And one other one that doesn’t ever seem to be open when we’re there. In all the years we’ve been there we have literally won a little something one time! We brought our golf clubs just in case in our road trip we found a great golf course. Well don’t try and play here unless you’re one of the richest. It was over $150-180 a person!!!!!! And Their clothing in the pro shop is highly over priced. Who can afford this place??? It’s dirty and needs their ventilation updated. It’s one of the smokiest casinos we’ve been to. I think the highlight of ours gay and trip was a blueberry pancake we had at the restaurant hat was delicious and as big as the whole plate . Other that it was just a reminder to not come back.

The Spa Tower rooms are well appointed, spacious, and appear to be clean. However, the beds in two rooms were very uncomfortable. Our party of 5 checked in Friday, May 9, and out on Sunday, May 11. Neither of the two nights was restful, which is not what you want before playing golf! The food was pretty good, we had dinner at Chinook and our waiter, Felix, was fantastic. The salmon was overcooked, and the prime rib wasn't 'prime'; other than that, everything else was delicious. This was a splurge for us, a day at the spa for my wife and her friend... a round of golf for my son's birthday, joined by my best friend and his son. In the future, we'll most likely just make it a day trip. For us, the hotel isn't a good value.

I really wanted to like this casino. So much, we came back a second day. The bar staff, are amazing. Hats off to them. Day 1: players card sign up. Not welcoming. We had a younger brunette ( hair in bun) who was thorough in the process but not friendly or welcoming. It was uncomfortable. We played for a few hours and ate at Redtail. Food was OK. Seasonal veggies was a plate of carrots with the salmon. Salmon a little over cooked. Played for a few more hours. Broke even Day 2: Thought by now we would have had some promotion as we entered. None. Played a few hours across 20 or so machines, payouts vs bet low and bonuses felt non-existent. Ate at the pizza place. Surprisingly good. Service was OK from a bunch of younger adults. Put 100.00 into a game and machine ate it. Jen walked past, was friendly and said she would get help. After 30m and looking around for help, went to bar and they sent someone. Received wonderful help after waiting so long. Played for a few more hours, horrible payouts and never received 1 promotion , outside 1.27 bonus play. For having a new director of gaming, do better. Not worth a 30m drive, lose money BUT have zero incentives on rewards is the icing on the cake. I'm okay losing money but have better rewards towards bar, Food, etc. Probably won't return. Edited to add, very clean casino. Bathrooms and floor were well kept.

Had a great time at this casino! We joined the players club and got 10$ for free plays, plus you get discounts on fuel and all of the restaurants and hotel in the casino (and there are a TON of restaurants). It was so clean, including the restrooms. Really good experience.

Nice sized casino. The floor is stretched out but electric scooters are offered with a small deposit. The pool is small and indoors. The food court was on the other end of the casino floor from the hotel rooms. Each bed only had three pillows which is kind of weird. Other than that it was great

Casino smokey rooms were equal to my barracks room in the Army not very good clean but simple. I did however win in the casino not allot but paid for the entire trip. Didn't golf at the casino went to saint maries golf course though imamd it was allot better than it appears fun challenge. Its location is pretty remote. But thats reservations i guess. Overall it was fun. Not rating it bad i do recommend it.

Mt Spokane

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Mountain peak
Nature & Parks
Mt Spokane is a towering mountain peak located in the Inland Northwest, boasting scenic trails and historic ruins that lead to an observation deck with breathtaking views. Regardless of weather conditions, people feel gravitated towards this majestic natural wonder. It provides ample opportunities for biking, hiking, and enjoying the stunning vistas it offers.
Moderate hike up to the top and back down to the parking lot. The Discover pass is required to park at the park. You will take two trails to the top #130 and #140 either trail is clearly marked with blue diamond shaped markers all the way up so it is fairly easy to follow. The All trails app is very handy on all the trails and if you go off the path it will let you know at least on the paid version. I highly recommend this location.
Mr O — Google review
Amazing drive with spectacular views of the mountain ranges! Excellent ski park for all levels from bunny hills to longer ones. The hike in the snow was pretty good. Open access to many walking and hiking trails. The vista house was close at this point of the year so will definitely want to be back for that. Parking wasn’t difficult but imagine it gets crowded during summer.

Liberty Lake Farmers Market

Farmers' market
Shopping
Flea & Street Markets
The Liberty Lake Farmer's Market is SO cute! This is a legit farmers market too with folks selling good WA produce at reasonable prices. One could easily go here and get most of your go-to produce, and then some. There were also lots of cool vendors like ceramics, flowers, hand-made jewlery, soaps, oils, and other products, and much more! If it wasn't so far away for us we would definitely be back more frequently!
James W — Google review
Produce, flowers, drinks and food are the main focus of this farmers market. There were some other items but very few. Nicely organized so you can see each booth in loops. Flowers are all priced very well. Good food options to choose from. Only about 2-3 craft or art booths. Lots of parking in an open field.
The E — Google review
Our favorite market local to the Spokane area by far. We come from Spokane Valley, a fifteen minute trip, & it is worth it ten fold. It is also our only weekly market that we attend! The selection of fresh produce, from mushrooms and exotic tomatoes, to every berry or plum imaginable and donut peaches. There are vendors for pickled goods, local and humane beef sources, cider providers. There is always live music and food/drink vendors. Fresh flowers from this market weekly are a must. From one single mother to another- treat yo self. Very family friendly, full of variety and a beautiful place to do your local shopping. 11/10 recommend!

Great stands, great produce. Just great to be outside and around people again. Got a bouquet from Gracie's, lots of produce, gluten-free donut holes, hot sauce, and some primo hard cider. Making lactic acid fermented onions and radishes for garnishes. UPDATE: Pickled onion & radishes were a hit and highly recommended. Re-jarred them in pints, then used the radish brine for quick pickling cucumbers. Amazeballs.

Manito Park

Park
Nature & Parks
Manito Park, a 78-acre park opened in 1904, is a stunning outdoor recreation and leisure area in Spokane. The park features various gardens such as rose, lilac, formal, and native plant gardens along with a picturesque pond. With its immaculately tended terrain spanning 90 acres, including an arboretum, conservatory, and botanical gardens named after the Algonquin word "manitou," meaning fundamental life force animating all things.
Have always loved this park. Ample areas to walk throughout. They really did a good job with cleaning up the pond too. You can see the beneficial plants on the bottom. They do wonders to keep the water clear. Great place to take a walk, run, a bike ride, and enjoy the great scenery.
Jakob Z — Google review
“Absolutely Stunning Park – A Must Visit in Spokane!” I can’t say enough good things about Manito Park! The gardens are breathtaking—each one feels like stepping into a different world. The Rose Garden is so vibrant and colorful, the Japanese Garden is incredibly peaceful, and the Duncan Garden looks straight out of Europe with its perfectly designed symmetry. I loved wandering around the walking paths and taking in the beautiful landscaping—everything is so well cared for. The Gaiser Conservatory was also a treat, with unique plants and flowers you don’t see every day. What makes this park extra special is that it’s completely free, making it such a gem for locals and visitors alike. Whether you want to take photos, enjoy a picnic, or just relax and breathe in nature, this is the perfect spot. I’d highly recommend visiting in spring or summer when everything is in full bloom, but honestly, it’s gorgeous year-round. Definitely a 5-star experience! 🌿🌸🌹

Manito Park is pure magic! 😍 Absolutely loved everything — it’s so beautiful, you can’t stop staring at the flowers, trees, and ponds. Total fairytale vibes! The atmosphere is so cozy, like a hug for your soul. The park is perfectly maintained, with spots to chill, snap pics, or just soak in the nature. Amazing for family walks or solo escapes. I’ll be back a million times and recommend it to everyone! Spokane, you nailed it!

An absolutely gorgeous park, lovely enough for a movie set. There is an annual garden, a perennial garden, a conservatory of inside plants that you can look at early in the day when it's open, an Oriental garden that also has limited hours, and a beautiful pond with a nice walking path around it. There are also sports courts, walking trails, and at least one really nice playground.

My first visit to Manito Park was in the Fall of 2004 when my husband and I were newlyweds. After many moves to different states and several years later, life brought us back to where our lives began together in Spokane. We love visiting the many gardens as a family with our sons. My husband and I visited the Rose Garden together a couple years ago in October. The rose blooms were plentiful and spectacular in the middle of October! It was such a peaceful experience. We visited Duncan Gardens on my Birthday in July this year and just recently this past weekend we visited the Japanese Gardens. I find so much joy simply being in nature and there is so much beauty to appreciate in Manito Park. It’s so peaceful and beautiful. I always enjoy seeing people enjoying the park and gardens as well. It’s a great place to be and visit anytime of year! Walking down Manito Boulevard and around the park on the pathways during the Fall with the golden leaves everywhere is amazing! I love it so much and the best part is it’s always free to visit!! Manito Park has always been a beautiful blessing full of joyful memories for my family.
Jen N — Google review
Fantastic park - Spokane is truly lucky to have this place. Multiple gardens to walk through and the care and upkeep effort really shows. Duncan gardens is a grand landscape of flowers, with a conservatory attached. Incredible amount of species inside this building. Rose garden was our favorite- incredible how many different roses can be found here. The Japanese garden was beautiful as well. Hard to believe this is all free- I have paid to enter botanical gardens that don’t come close to this. So many enjoyable walking paths, benches and shade can found throughout the park. There was a cafe as well! Parking could be a problem where you want it- but numerous small lots exist around the park.

Wow! What an awesome park! There are some great playground areas, a small lake and a very beautiful flower garden. There is also a solarium with tropical and dessert plants. There are walking paths and several parking spaces throughout the park to provide ease of use. There are probably several restroom areas but the one we found was attached to the solarium. I would love to revisit in various seasons.

Riverfront Park

Mentioned on

Park
Nature & Parks
Riverfront Park, the site of the 1974 World's Fair, is a 100-acre oasis in Spokane that offers a blend of natural beauty and urban attractions. The park features iconic landmarks such as the clock tower, giant wagon, building blocks, and the world fair tent. Families can enjoy picnics by the river and entertainment for kids while taking leisurely walks. A recent addition to the park is the ice ribbon that provides a unique experience around Downtown Spokane.
Iconic, Scenic, and Full of Photo-Worthy Moments – A Must-Visit in Spokane Riverfront Park is a spacious and beautifully designed urban park that offers a wide variety of attractions for visitors of all ages. From unique playgrounds and sculptures to multiple waterfalls, bridges, and scenic photo backdrops, there’s something to explore around every corner. One of our favorite features was the upper waterfall, which offers a dramatic view, especially from the large bridge that makes for the perfect photo opportunity. There are several bridges throughout the park, each offering different angles and perspectives of the falls and river. While some areas have limited shade, the park is ideal for a leisurely stroll, and the natural beauty combined with art installations makes it a must-see for anyone visiting Spokane. The lower waterfalls are smaller but still charming, and the park’s iconic views help capture the essence of the city. Another perk? The shopping mall right next to the park. On a hot day, it was a great place to cool off with full AC, grab a drink, and enjoy its modern, clean design. We especially appreciated the thoughtful lighting fixtures, photo spots, and how open and stylish it felt—definitely not your typical mall layout. Even better, My Fresh Basket—a health-focused grocery store—is conveniently located nearby. It’s a fantastic option if you want to grab fresh, organic food or snacks without eating out, especially for those on the go or watching their diet. With plenty of street parking and mall parking available, Riverfront Park is incredibly accessible and well worth the visit. Whether you’re there for the waterfalls, the photo ops, or just a peaceful walk, this park truly captures the heart of Spokane.

Riverfront Park is absolutely beautiful — the waterfalls are stunning, and the gondola ride gives you amazing views of the river and city. It’s a perfect spot for walking, relaxing, and taking pictures. The only downside is that there are too many homeless people around, which can make certain areas feel uncomfortable. Other than that, it’s a must-visit for the scenery and attractions.

We hung out at Riverfront Park on a Thursday evening and had an awesome time! Rented some Lime scooters and cruised around as the sun was setting — such a pretty time to be there. The park has great views and a really nice atmosphere. I only had a short time to explore, but it seems like there’s a lot more to do, so I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend stopping by or spending an evening here if you’re in Spokane!

Riverside Park has been great to visit every time we’ve gone. Even though there are people living on the streets downtown, the city has done a really good job keeping the park itself feeling safe and welcoming for visitors and kids — which is so appreciated these days. The park is always clean, beautifully maintained, and full of fun things to do: walking paths, open green spaces, water views, playgrounds, and plenty of spots to explore. It’s lively without feeling crowded, and we’ve consistently had positive experiences here. A wonderful place to spend an afternoon as a family.

The park is a lively and picturesque destination, brimming with a variety of activities, captivating artwork, and meticulously maintained gardens and pathways that showcase breathtaking views of the landscapes and waterfalls.

This was truly a memorable place to visit! Riverfront park is an amazing place to plan a family outing. The perfect mix of nature and city. There's a variety of dining options in the area. The many easily accessible paths allow visitors different angles of the falls. If you're looking for an up close view, consider taking the Numerica SkyRide! It's a budget friendly purchase and offer military and senior discounts, as well as group discounts. The line wasn't long and they were really efficient getting riders on and off. On the ride, there's audio of history with lots of great information to learn about. The only downside is inconsiderate guests who litter and parking is something that you'll definitely have to plan ahead of time. Overall a great experience! Please remember to keep our beautiful public areas clean and enjoy the beautiful views!

Beautiful area. Beautiful park. So many trails and it's absolutely peaceful and perfect on a weekday. This park is worth the drive to check out.

Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge in Cheney, WA is truly one of those rare places that leaves a lasting impression on your soul. From the moment you enter, you can feel the peace and stillness that nature offers here. The refuge is beautifully maintained, and everything from the trails to the viewing areas reflects the care and respect the staff and volunteers have for this land and the wildlife that call it home. Every visit feels like stepping into a living postcard. The scenery changes with the seasons, offering something new and breathtaking each time, from vibrant wetlands and pine forests to serene lakes that perfectly mirror the sky. The abundance of wildlife is incredible. It’s not uncommon to see moose, elk, deer, and a variety of birds all in one visit. The moose sightings alone make this place special, and seeing one up close, peacefully moving through the landscape, is a moment you don’t forget. One of the highlights of Turnbull is the 5.5-mile auto loop, which allows you to drive your car through the refuge at your own pace. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to experience the beauty and wildlife up close without having to leave their vehicle. Along this scenic route, you’ll find incredible photo opportunities and peaceful moments surrounded by nature. It’s not uncommon for moose to wander right past your car, giving you an unforgettable close encounter in a completely natural setting. The staff here are genuinely friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about conservation. They are always willing to share insights about the refuge, the animals, and the history of the area. It’s clear they take pride in keeping the refuge so clean, accessible, and inviting for visitors. All the trails are thoughtfully laid out and very well maintained. Most are easy and suitable for all ages, making this an ideal spot for families, photographers, hikers, and anyone who just wants to reconnect with nature. Whether you come for a quiet walk, wildlife photography, or simply to breathe and unwind, Turnbull delivers peace and beauty in every direction. This is truly a hidden gem of the Pacific Northwest, a place that deserves to be experienced no matter where you’re coming from. If you love nature, serenity, and wildlife, make the trip. You won’t regret it.

Palouse Falls State Park

Park
Nature & Parks
State Parks
Basalt canyons & a 198-ft. thundering waterfall with an ADA-accessible overlook, plus a campground.
Palouse Falls is where the Earth remembers violence—and turns it into beauty. You walk up to the edge of the canyon, and it’s like staring into an ancient wound that never closed. Jagged basalt cliffs split the sky, and then—boom—there it is: A waterfall flung from a prehistoric flood, roaring down into a bowl carved by the Ice Age like some god took a chisel to the land and said, “Remember this.” It’s loud. It’s wild. It’s real. You don’t go to Palouse Falls for comfort—you go to feel small in the right way. The views are cinematic, the trails are short but striking, and golden hour turns the cliffs to fire. Great for photos, better for perspective. A few things to note: the paths can be raw and exposed—respect the edge. And while the park’s facilities are basic, the majesty isn’t. Come prepared. Leave a little more awake than you arrived. If you like your beauty untamed and your soul rattled by geography—this is your place.

The drive in is on a gravel groomed road of about 2 miles. The park does require the Discover Pass which can be purchased at the park if you do not already have one. Credit card payments only. The parking is limited to about 20 spaces. There is a restroom building and port a potties available. The paved walking path leads to an open picnic area with one covered table but mostly shaded tables to enjoy the warm breeze. The walking paths to the different view points is steep in some spots, walking sticks advised. Don't forget to walk to the right of the restrooms for some more spectacular views of the area.

This is a remote treasure in Eastern Washington. I late Sept the Falls didn't have the full flow of water but the rocks and the birds made it special. Seeing a Peregrine Falcon in the wid currents was cool! There are bathrooms, picnic tables and some short hiking trails. Small parking lot and 2 miles of gravel road getting in. Still worth it. Lyons Ferry Park nearby is a good side trip.

Official Falls of Washington State. Close to Tri-Cities. Decent parking and disability access. The on-site restrooms are the permanent outhouse style but they're well maintained. The views are amazing. Just outside of the parking area, away from the main viewing overlook, there are lots trails. CAUTION: Most of this extended area has little or no barriers, allowing visitors to get right up to the edge. There is a significant risk of the canyon edge giving way, leading to serious danger.

Waterfalls, places of fast running water, are very healing on the energetic level. They are also rich in negative ions. It feels so good just being there. One more miracle of Mother Earth. Beautiful place to visit.

Scenic falls are just a short walk from the parking lot. There are restrooms there as well. You will need a discovery pass or pay there. The last 2 miles of the road into the park are unpaved (gravel) so know that your vehicle will get dusty.

*You have to click on the pics to get full view* This place is a hidden prize. It is out in the middle of nowhere. You drive up and see flat lands, and then you get out and walk to the trail. And there it is, this amazingly beautiful water feature from nature. The waterfall is worth the time to take the trip. There is a trail in front of the falls to see the falls and the water below. Then there are trails off to the side to see from different angles. I did not take the side trail. I saw people going and then showing up at the edges to see the falls and surrounding areas. There are two parking lots that accommodate everyone and then some. There are bathrooms available. I absolutely loved this place. It was very much worth my time. I highly recommend enjoying this bit of amazing scenery.

Free entry and parking with a WA discover pass. Totally worth a couple hour drive. Not a hike but there is a short walking trail, lots of picnic tables, and of course the beautiful and relaxing Washington state waterfall.

Stopped here on a whim and were so glad we did! We ordered: Cow pie combo pizza, cheese pizza and garlic cheese bread. All of it was absolutely amazing! Probably the best pizza I have ever had. The portions were very generous and although we were full, we opted for a piece of chocolate cream pie...tastes better than Grandma's. Highly recommend this place, friendly staff, exceptional food, clean facilities; cute gift shop and reasonable prices.

I stopped in last night to take a look and see what sorts of things they had at the Cow Creek Mercantile and let me say this building is jam packed with all sorts of things. On one side of the building there is a “restaurant” with seating that serves things like homemade soup, salads, pizza, dessert (and more) and then on the store side you will find things like gifts, toys for children, jam, soup mixes, tea, cookie cutters, jewelry, home decor items, stained glass, cards, soaps, dish clothes, scrub pads, lotions, masks, magnets, Christian items, books and much, much more! It’s worth a quick stop if even to just stretch your legs. Of interest is the fact that there is a number of electric charging vehicle stations at the far end of their parking lot.

This is a great place to stop for a meal in the middle of nowhere. I ordered a half BBQ beef sandwich, served on a baguette and toasted, plus a side of broccoli salad. Soooooo yummy! My wife ordered the club sandwich with hamburger vegetable soup, both of which were delicious. If we're ever traveling to eastern Washington or northern Idaho, we'll definitely be stopping here!
Wendell H — Google review
Stopped in for a quick lunch passing through. 1 hour later, still no food on the table..... No idea why a sandwich takes that long. There was no wait for being seated at a table. But I should have guessed there was a reason why no one had food at their tables.. Once we got it, this was what we got. This picture is before we touched it.. Dont know why they bothered with the chips at all. Not worth the wait.. I would not recommend it.

😮GOOD GOSH ALMIGHTY 😮 Husband wanted pizza for dinner and I order what we usually get back home..large. meat-lovers type, their pizza 🍕 is HUGE and loaded with big slices of Canadian bacon, pepperoni and slices of mozzarella 😮 lots of crumbled sausage and bacon pieces. I could only eat one slice and my husband ate a slice and half🤣. We should have ordered either a small or just individual slices(not sure if that is an option)🤣🤣 pizza is really good 👍🏼 if from outta town I recommend this place but be worn...it's a LOT OF PIZZA🤣🥴😮

Public swimming pool
Lakeside aquatic park with a large pool, 3 slides, a river for tube floating & a surfing simulator.
Great way to cool down on a hot day. My kids absolutely loved the park. Admission fee was reasonably priced. Felt safe with all the life guards that are constantly on duty. Outside food is allowed but there is also a place that sells food their as well. We got a chocolate/vanilla swirl ice cream cone and some authentic tacos but there is a lot more to choose from. We loved the lazy river and splash pad area. We had a great family fun day!
Dallas E — Google review
We traveled from Yakima and were pretty disappointed. We had two small children that were under 48 inches and they could only participate in the pool, the very small kids area and lazy river. If this were local, it would not have been so bad but to drive an hour and a half really felt not worth it.
Crystal S — Google review
Been coming here for a few years now...My son's loved it since the 1st visit, and has grown to go farther and farther towards the "big kid" area. Cool waterslides, snack bar, lazy river, and a wave rider station. Lockable lockers and showers. They have a full lifeguard team, great place for a family day and 5 minutes from Chicos Pizza!
Jeremy O — Google review
Have been away from Moses Lake for about 15 years, which is about the last time I was at the Aquatic Center. It was really great to see how much the place has kept up with the growing demands of the community. While I can't say I loved the cost, compared to what it was when I was a kid, I loved being able to give my kids a little slice of my childhood.
Ryan S — Google review
Great family fun! Awesome spot to go with family, clean, water is always perfect. It has a lazy River, large swimming areas, diving boards, surf stimulator, shallow pool section for young children, sand box with toys, 2 sand volleyball courts, great slides. Bring your own food cooler but if you don’t no worries there’s vendor options. It’s a safe place for all ages.
Ivy G — Google review
Well maintained water park only a 20 min drive from our campground. Plenty of parking and plenty of chairs and picnic tables. Although you can bring your own food/drinks and snacks there's a hamburger/tacos and ice-cream stand. Bathrooms are clean and well stocked. There's an indoor community shower with soap but be aware before you decide to shower your kiddos the water is really hot and you have to keep pushing for more every minute. I guess is only to rinse yourself but used it in between playing in the pool to warm me up lol! Kids under 2 are free and between 2 to 5 are $8 The rest is $16. You can reentry with outside food anytime. There's a grass area where you can put a blanket or your own chairs or tent if you decid to bring them. Bring your own towels or by some at their shop which also sells sunglasses and other waters accessories.
Adriana S — Google review
It would have been a little higher rated but after only 1 hr there they closed the park because of low attendance and no refund or discount for another day because it was after 1pm. So we paid 80 for one hour of play and therfore not a good value. Other than that the kids had fun before being disappointed.
Angela Z — Google review
Nice place to enjoy yourself, lazy river was closed without explanation when we went. Almost everything has a height requirement, so beware if you have little ones. They probably won't be able to do much.

Desert & marsh area surrounding a freshwater reservoir offering primitive cabins & tent camping.
We stayed in March and had a fantastic time! There were only 2 other campers and they were gone the 2nd day. Camping winter rates ! Less people, great spot for dogs as well, fantastic hosts that were very helpful, and the grounds were super clean. There are many trails in the area to explore on as well, biking and fishing is great there as well(we were in 101B & fished right near our spot)They have a couple free hot 🔥 showers near the day use area. They were free, and pretty clean. I'm just grateful they even have them at all. :) For day usage It's 10 bucks unless u have a Discover Pass. We Will definitely be back again! Thank you!

Stayed over Memorial Day Weekend in a tent space. Loved listening to the bullfrogs at night. Water and vault toilet was close by, area kept clean by volunteers throughout the day. Nice park for kids, did not see a swimming area, that would be the one thing it could use. I just might not have seen it. There is a large area along side the boa launch, but people were fishing there, so not sure kids should be swimming there in case of lines and hooks.

I stayed at the group campsite, there were picnic tables and it wasn’t located far from the boat launch and beach. Didn’t catch any fish unfortunately. Be prepared, there are a million wasps that will harass your picnic during all hours of the day, and (at least for my picnic) they will eat raw meat chips corn on the cob and drink Diet Coke and beer so good luck 👍🏻

Tsillan Cellars

Mentioned on 
19 lists 
Winery
Food & Drink
Tsillan Cellars, located overlooking Lake Chelan, offers a delightful experience for wine and food enthusiasts. The winery features a tasting room, a restaurant with Italian-style varietals, a wine patio, coy ponds, and vineyards to explore. Visitors can enjoy the stunning views of Lake Chelan while indulging in great food and immersing themselves in Eastern Washington's wine culture.
View 10/10, service 10/10, wine 10/10 (subjective to your preferences but I usually love most of their whites and drier reds)! Honestly words aren't enough to describe this place. Just visit and see for yourself. My boyfriend introduced me to this winery a year and half ago and I immediately signed up for membership even though I have other winery memberships. They have a satellite location in Woodenville so I pick up my shipment at that location which is close to my house. Woodinville location is also lovely and hosts a lot of events like live music and wine tastings. I visited Chelan location during different seasons and their decorations have been always on point. The view is amazing with the Lake Chelan and mountains. Interior is largely Italian-inspired. Both Julia and Julia gave us tastings and they were both very knowledgeable with where the wine comes from and taste notes. I also learned that they don't serve wine that's been opened for longer than a couple days. On this visit, we had an honor to have chat with the owner, Bob. He is a very passionate and delightful person. He started the winery in his 60s and now it is one of the oldest wineries in Chelan. I can't wait to visit again!
Flora L — Google review
My husband and I visited this winery on a weekday afternoon. We were impressed from the moment we spotted the estate! The beautiful building and grounds set the mood for relaxation and splendor. We felt the cost for the wine tastings was quite reasonable. And if we purchased two bottles of wine, our wine tastings were free. We sampled and later bought the best red wine we have had in a very long time. We later found out it had been a big award winner this year. We sat outside in the beautiful surroundings which include water features and lovely natural habitats. There is even a gift shop with unique items to purchase. We would highly recommend a visit to this gem.

Tsillan Cellars is an absolute gem! The venue is beautifully designed and lively, creating the perfect atmosphere for a memorable experience. The stunning views of the vineyards and surrounding landscape are breathtaking. It's a very romantic spot, perfect for a date night. I wish I had a guy take me there! The wine is exquisite, and the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Whether you're there for a wine tasting or a special event, Tsillan Cellars offers an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!

The place is very wonderful! Everything is very nice but the service is not very good and high quality! We ordered a glass of wine each, but it is a quarter of a glass! The price varies from 16-20$ for a quarter ! I probably won't return to this winery🍷 again

The owner of the place is the greatest guy ever! He hugged us and welcomed to his restaurant before the opening hour! It was very cold outside and we appreciated it a lot! The food was great! Very tasty! We also bought the 100-point wine from the winery! It was an outstanding quality! Highly recommended place to eat and to taste the local wine!

We had the most enjoyable experience today. Made reservations at Sorrento restaurant in Chelan connected with Tsillan winery. Got there and were seated at a beautiful table overlooking the lake in the shade. Had a great meal, great service, then went to the tasting room next door. Got great service and went to the patio to go do our tasting! Had a surprise visit from the owner and the man who started the winery. A pioneer of wine in this area. Shared my connection with the Hedges’s and so enjoyed talking to him. A testament to the passion of wine. 88 and still comes to the winery everyday. His light is still shining bright❤️ Bravo Robert (Bob) Jankelson. Thank you so much for the conversation and the beautiful bottle you signed for us. Thanks so much, Kathy and Joel

Lake Chelan State Park

Mentioned on 
1 list 
State park
Nature & Parks
Lake Chelan State Park is a tranquil and well-maintained 127-acre park nestled on the shore of Washington's longest lake. It offers spacious campsites, a boat ramp, and a large dock for visitors to explore and enjoy the crystal clear waters of the lake. The park provides a safe environment where visitors can paddle on the serene waters or simply relax by the shore.
Beautiful! I wanted to think it was overrated but I see why people would drive 3 hours to this lake as opposed to other nearby ones. It's large! Plenty of space for everyone, whether on the water or around the lake, so you can enjoy the serene landscape without having to hear other people's conversations and music. Plenty of parking too. There is a sandy beach but you could also walk to the quieter sides where there are spots under the trees for foldable chairs and canopies. You may have to pay at the booth coming in: $10 for day use or $30 for annual pass (Discover Pass). There is a teeny gift section in the booth, some magnets, thermal flasks, and t-shirts.

Beautiful park with plenty of activities for all ages! There’s a nice playground for kids and a swimming area with options to rent kayaks and jet skis. Campsites are well-maintained, and the bathrooms (with showers) were clean. While most sites don’t offer much privacy, the lake views and stunning sunsets more than make up for it. We even caught fireworks from the lake — such a fun bonus! We stayed at campsite 85 and really enjoyed our time here.

End of July it's hot weather. Take a cool clear water swim in the lake, paddleboard, jetski, go boating. Get bags of ice or maybe a 2 scoop ice cream cone at the concession/store there. You can camp almost right on the water, near a big grass field, under a shade tree - and there is also group camping. Free showers and bathrooms are cleaned daily. Kids playground, volleyball, and a hiking trail. I saw deer roam the campground while I watched the beautiful sunrise. This is an excellent place to go camping.

Overall the campground was decent, but it was very crowded and the sites were packed close together. There’s no grass on the ground—just dirt—so it felt a bit dusty and dirty. On the bright side, the restrooms and showers were available and quite clean, and showers were free. Lake Chelan’s water is crystal clear, perfect for paddle boarding and swimming.

Pybus Public Market is a spacious and vibrant marketplace located in Wenatchee, Washington. Spanning the size of a football field, this indoor street market offers an array of local farm goods, artisanal foods, and specialty shops. Visitors can explore fresh produce from nearby farms, as well as butcher shops, cheese vendors, regional wines, and delightful pastries. The market also hosts restaurants and live music performances on Friday evenings.
Nice place to visit with family We tried the pizza with hot honey and the special with beef jerky - both were delicious! 🍕🔥 The atmosphere is very warm and welcoming, definitely a cozy spot to enjoy good food together.

The market has a fun atmosphere, but it’s primarily geared toward dining rather than shopping. Had we known that in advance, we would have planned our visit differently. While there are a few booths with local products, the focus is clearly on food stalls. If you’re expecting a broader variety of goods or a traditional market vibe, this may fall short. Still, it could be a nice stop if you’re hungry and in the mood to try different local eats.

Amazing combination of permanent restaurants and shops mixed in with temporary craft vendors. All shops are small businesses and independent.

This is a great market to go to with good food and wine, and other stuff. Just watch out for the rude yuppies that have no problem plowing into a 92-year-old man as he is being assisted in walking down the main corridor.

It took out all the tedious and stressful work on the day of the wedding and it all came with the package. We were able to do photography months before the wedding for engagement photos and then for our wedding three hours before: they were very accommodating for all our needs. The food delivery ran smoothly as they had an accessible spot for food and for other accessibility needs like grandparents. So beautiful, loved it. Would recommend to anyone: very affordable.

Don’t come here. We like it without the lift lines, without crowded slopes and without terrible parking.

The local ski resort of choice. Gorgeous views, great options for food and beverages, fun activities, super friendly and fun staff. An overall warming experience even though you’re in the cold, snowy mountain valley. Oh and clean bathrooms!!! That says A LOT about how this resort cares about the quality of everything they provide their guests.

I never knew that thos factory was just a couple hours away. They have so many different options. It was hard to decide what to get. Also, the prices are insanely good. Imagine going to a store and buying a box of the aplets and cotlets for around $10. Now imagine coming to the factory and buying the same size box for only a little over $4. They also have bags of mango for $1, chocolate covered almonds, and much more. Overall, I recommend coming out and visiting. We didn't get to do their tour cause there wasn't production going on, but still worth coming out for all the goodies :)

I'm not a big fan of Aplets and Cotlets. My mother used to buy them all the time and loved them, me not so much. But, this was a great unexpected find in the Wenatche valley. We enjoyed the short tour and history of the company. We're happy that they are still in business. The prices at the store were awesome, we bought a lot of memories there. It's a must stop for everyone, to learn about Aplets, and Cotlets!

I stopped in for the factory tour on my way to Leavenworth and had a good experience. The store has a wide selection of their famous candies, chocolate bars, dried fruit, cookies, and much more with a number items on sale. The tour is offered at certain times and takes you through the entire candy making process to the final product. Located on Mission Street in Cashmere across from the railroad tracks and a short distance from the freeway. A great place to learn about the production of the famous fruit and nut candy with a friendly tour guide, and a store with great prices on their products.

the store itself was awesome, aplets and cotlets are delicious and i was very excited for my husband to try them for the first time. when we were done shopping, we all checked out separately and it made me notice something that really bothered me. the cashier, sydnee, was pleasant with me and made small conversation with me. she gave the same service to my friend. for context, my friend and i are both white. my husband on the other hand is mexican and was not greeted and checked out with the same customer service we were. when he went to check out, sydnee didn’t greet him, didn’t make eye contact, didn’t make conversation. but worst of all she physically squished his individually wrapped aplets in her hand before and after scanning them, and slammed his box of aplets and colets onto the counter after scanning them. the only words she spoke to him were when she told him his total. makes me wonder if her motivations for being cold towards him and messing with the products he was buying had something to do with the fact that he isn’t white. it’s sad to see anyone get treated differently because of the color of their skin. i’d like to also mention that before any of us checked out, we overheard her checking out an older white man and was polite to him. all races of customers deserve to be treated equally, not only white customers.

This is a unique gift shop and I recommend a stop if you have time. This small gift is attached to the factory that makes Aplets (Apple and Walnut snack) and Cotlets (Apricot and Walnut snack). The factory has a tour of the facility which is small but interesting! Delicious samples of the many products they sell. While small, store is well kept and staff were pleasant to deal with. We bought aplets and cotlets and chocolate covered strawberries etc and they were all delicious. I highly recommend stopping.
