Museum of History & Industry050
in Seattle, WA 98112about Museum of History & Industry:
MOHAI celebrates the history of the Pacific Northwest, from 1780 to the present. Since it opened in 1952, it's become the largest private heritage organization in the state. A staggering number of artifacts from the region's past, including Boeing's first commercial airplane and the Slo-Mo-Shun IV hydroplane, are displayed here.
Many of the displays at this low-key museum feature fun hands-on activities for kids - they can wander through a replica of a salmon cannery bunkhouse, try their hand at the coordination necessary to keep a canning line going, operate a miniature steamshovel, board a fishing boat, and wander through a streetscape of pre-Great Fire Seattle. Older kids will be fascinated by the Great Fire exhibit in the lower level, and another Seattle streetscape that lets kids become a 19th-century Seattle character as they wander from store to store. The museum boasts lots of open space - this is an easy place to take kids and let them wander through the exhibits, especially if you come on a weekday.
The museum also hosts a full calendar of lectures, neighborhood walks, and programs for families. Admission to the museum is free on the first Thursday of each month.
