The museum depicts the era of the Northern Pacific Railway in its earlier years. We have early steam locomotives, freight cars used at the turn of the century, and passenger cars of the North Coast Limited on display. Docent tours are recommended and require a reservation so a representative can be available.

This is a surprise - we went during Christmas and they had model trains running of all sizes AND we rode on a real train in a caboose AND they had hands-on wooden play sets for young folks AND they had food AND they had Santa. The model trains that were on display and running are overwhelmingly entertaining. I have no idea how 2 hours elapsed. I wish I had thought to take more photos, I was too busy having fun. This is a worthwhile destination and it stands on it own, it is worth going to specifically, travel to this town just to see this? Yes! This review will fade into oblivion as other, newer, reviews take it's place, but since you're here why don't you add a nice rating if you have some nice words to say (and remember what your Mom always said, "If you have nothing nice to say don't say anything"). Great to see businesses thrive in the Yakima area. Let's support Things To Do here just by being Yakima-friendly.

Being a former teacher, I always look for place to explore local history. The museum does that for sure. You pick up some great insights into Yakima and the local area. We take out of town visitors here often.

You can visit any day, but the building is only open Saturdays from 10 to 4. Fun souvenirs are available as well as postcards (for those who still know what those are). A reminder that government scandals can happen in any administration.

We have come here several times for their different "festivals". They will have an opportunity for U-pick fruit, depending on what is in season during their festivals. They offer hay rides, horseback rides, fresh, hot donuts, cider and a wonderful barn full of local-themed decor and other items. My girls and I enjoy the hay ride around the grounds and the petting zoo, too. If you are visiting the Yakima or Lower Valley in summer or fall, don't miss this fun and adorable opportunity.
7. Toppenish Murals
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 46 reviews
Reviewed By KweqSmanit - Seattle, United States
Toppenish has many murals located in town and some are newer and brighter whereas others are older and more faded but all are very nice and interesting to look at from both a historical sense and as well an artistic sense. Most deal with the town and its past and its history and indians and frontier days, local historical figures, the fruit growing industry of the area and so on.But all are interesting or worth viewing. Something that I found interesting is that there are no public tax dollars used to place any murals up in the town. They are all done through private donations and private citizens support.
8. Yakima Area Arboretum & Botanical Garden

Reviewed By CATXWASteveG - Yakima, United States
Always beautiful, and a great outdoor activity. Now that the fall colors are turning, this place is probably at its best. Explore the grounds, and look for the one connecting point to the Greenway paved walking path. Leave plenty of time and explore that as well while you're here. This review will fade as other, newer, reviews take its place, but if you end up coming here and agree, do us all a favor and add a nice rating and some nice words to say (and remember what your Mom always said, "If you have nothing nice to say don't say anything"). Great to see quality things to do thrive in Yakima.
9. Boulder Cave Trail
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 30 reviews
Located in the Naches Ranger District, this is an easy hiking trail that is less than a mile in length.
Reviewed By HistoryTeacher07
I last visited Boulder Cave as a 6th header and had a wonderful time. The cave was dark and a little scary (no sound or light is disorienting) but it was a great tome. We hiked the trail, had lunch, and learned about cave ecosystems and the geology of the area. I loved it. My nephew is finally old enough to share the same experience. The school doesn’t do field trips much anymore, but he loved the trail! We were saddened to learn that the bats on the cave are endangered, mostly by human activity. If you go to the cave, make sure to follow all of the instructions and do not disturb the bats. There were a bunch of teenagers (hold the boomer jokes) who were waving their flashlights around and yelling in the cave. Not cool. Overall, great experience. If you have kids between 5-10 it’s a great walk and doable in an afternoon. Highly recommend.
