Zeppoz bowling lanes

Pullman's parks and attractions offer a world of wonder for your little ones. Let their imaginations run wild at Harrison Tot Lot, a playground perfectly sized for toddlers and young children. Mary’s Park, Pullman's first ADA-accessible playground, welcomes children of all abilities to explore and play together, where wheelchair-accessible structures and specialized equipment ensure everyone can enjoy the fun. Sunnyside Park offers a great playscape for kids of all ages, pickleball courts, disc golf and regularly hosts community events, including Pullman’s Fourth of July festivities!

​​Take a family-friendly trek along the scenic trails of Klemgard County Park, or enjoy a bike ride on the Bill Chipman Palouse Trail, where you can watch for local wildlife. Back in town, kids can dig into the wonders of the natural world and explore STEM with hands-on exhibits at the Palouse Discovery Science Center. Or, cultivate a love for wildlife and conservation at the fascinating WSU Bear Center, a site dedicated to the protection of grizzly bears.

Likewise, Pullman has that college-town vibe that’s perfect for teenagers. Explore the Washington State University campus if they’re thinking about college, catch a Cougars game, or just chill at a local coffee shop and people-watch. For the arts-inclined, head to the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at WSU or challenge the whole family to some bowling (and arcade games) at Zeppoz. For family-friendly live entertainment, check out what’s on at the Regional Theatre of the Palouse (RTOP), which offers a lineup of Broadway hits, musicals, and local productions.
