When We Say All Ages, We Mean All Ages

Mon, 31 Dec 2007 09:42:00 -0800

The following information for families with young children in no way implies that tragically, tragically hip adults will not have a good time at First Night. Having said that, here's what I recommend for the little ones: 12-5 PM: Museum of Glass and Washington State History Museum honor First Night buttons for admission. Kids 7 and under free with an adult sporting a button. Catch the Model Train Festival at the History Museum before it rolls out of town! 5-7 PM: Children's Museum of Tacoma honors First Night buttons. Fold your own pirate hat and get ready for the parade. More »
