A few fun places to take the kids or kids at heart

Cougar Mountain Zoo - This place is perfect for the little ones. The zoo is just the right size and has a great selection of animals and exhibits. The current big attraction is their annual Issaquah Reindeer Festival. They are open daily from 10-4:30 and the fun Christmas activities are going on until December 23rd.

Theo’s Chocolate Factory Tour - Who knew Seattle had a chocolate factory that gave tours? I sure didn’t, but I do plan on checking it out. Theo’s offers tours daily at 1 and 3pm and an additional tour on Saturday and Sunday at 11am.

{UPDATE 12/12/07} Note from Theo’s Chocolate: “Our tours are booked to capacity this time of year so please call ahead to reserve a time and date that will best fit your schedule (206)632-5100.”

Country Village - I loved going to this place when I was a kid. Located in Bothell, Country Village is a great place for strolling around. The village has more than 40 quaint gift shops and restaurants. One of the fun aspects of Country Village is the variety of animals roaming around. You’ll see lots of chickens, ducks, bunnies, and probably a peacock or two. There’s also a 1/2 mile train ride for kids and adults!
