In partnership with
🎅 Kringle’s Inventionasium (Downtown)
Date: Open until December 24, 2025
Price: $24+
If Santa had a creative lab where elves got real degrees, it would look like Kringles Inventionasium. This place turns holiday magic into hands on making, so your kids are building, imagining, and doing stuff that actually sticks in their brain long after the candy cane sugar crash. Think widget labs, invention stations, and creative workshops that make learning feel like play.
It’s active, engaging, and actually fun for kids of a bunch of different ages.

Upcoming Events
🎇 New Year’s Eve Countdown (Bellevue)
Date: Dec 31 @ 9:30a-5pm
Price: $18+
KidsQuest hacked New Year’s.
They’re throwing an all day New Year celebration where the countdown happens every two hours at 10am, 12pm, 2pm, and 4pm. Your kids still get balloons, confetti, cheering, and that “WE DID IT” energy, and you still get everyone home before bedtime.
It’s joyful, loud in a good way, and perfectly timed for tiny humans who think 7pm is basically midnight.

🧸 Teddy Bear Suite at Fairmont Olympic Hotel (Seattle)
📸 Seattle Refined
The Teddy Bear Suite at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel is holiday parent bait in the best way. One entire luxury suite transformed into a cozy wonderland filled with teddy bears, twinkly lights, and storybook vibes that make kids’ jaws drop and parents quietly say “ok this was worth it.”
Dining
🌮 La Palmera (Multiple Locations)
Every December, La Palmera Mexican Restaurants pull off a genius move. They turn their locations into the Christmas Cantina, a limited time holiday pop up packed with twinkly lights, over the top festive décor, and handcrafted Christmas cocktails that feel way more fun than another night on the couch.
It’s chaotic in a cheerful way, cozy in a loud way, and perfect for parents who want holiday vibes without committing to a full fancy night out. Order tacos, sip something merry, let the lights do the heavy lifting, and call it a win in Everett, Mill Creek, Seattle, or Edmonds.
