Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 132 reviews
Due to the heightened level of caution regarding Coronavirus, the Renewable Energy Center will remain closed for the duration of 2020, however visitors can continue to explore the outdoor exhibits. Recreation at Wild Horse with a current Recreation Access Permit will be allowed starting May 5th. Permits can be filled out online. With the safety of our staff and visitors in mind, we have made the difficult decision to keep the Wild Horse Renewable Energy Center closed for the remainder of 2020. Visitors can still explore the exhibits outside of the visitor center, or fill out a free access permit on our website, if they want to recreate on the property.

You've seen the Wild Horse monument and may even have stopped when driving along I-90. You've seen the wind turbines from afar. But this visitor center is a chance to see them up close and learn about our great state taking advantage of wind and solar energy. I went for a conference at the visitor center (free for groups and centrally located for a state meeting!) but was able to take breaks to tour the facility, view the grandiose turbines up close, and view Mt. Rainier and Mt. St. Helens from a distance If you have a spare hour between eastern and western Washington, I highly recommend this free informative visitor center stop.

We were surprised to find this spacious, well maintained museum in Ellensburg. Many of the exhibits are in glass cases which were spotless. Of special interest was the lighted neon sign exhibit, the linotype and other printing machines, and the geodes and blue agates. Well worth the time to visit this museum.

Since my last review, I have visited the tasting room often (Maybe too often?). In addition to upscaling the facilities and decor, the wine is excellent and the management is very accommodating. A fine selection of wine is available for tasting and really interesting art work pleases the eye. A fine place to visit before going out to dinner.
