Nestled between the Olympic Mountains and the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Port Angeles is the largest city on the North Olympic Peninsula. An easy day trip from Seattle via the Bainbridge ferry and Victoria, British Columbia, via ferry, this picturesque town holds a wealth of activities for kids and adults.

Port Angeles’ downtown waterfront area offers science centers, beaches, parks, kayaking, biking and boating. The town is also the gateway to Olympic National Park, with its alpine mountains, rain forest and coastal beaches. Area parks and beaches feature tide pools, beaches and paths for hiking and biking.

Port Angeles’ Waterfront & Downtown for Science Centers, Recreation

The Arthur Fiero Marine Science Center, at the foot of Lincoln Street on the city pier, is a first stop for many families. See and learn about the local marine environment with hundreds of inter-tidal creatures, like star fish and sea cucumbers, in the exhibits, touch tanks and dry displays. Climb the observation tower at the end of the pier to look across the strait to Canada or take in a summer concert.
