About this place

A history museum in Tacoma exploring Washington State's past through permanent and rotating exhibits. Families can explore displays covering Native American heritage, geological history, immigration, and Japanese American experiences during World War II. The museum features an interactive model train display upstairs and covers natural history alongside cultural stories. Visitors can spend two hours or more working through the galleries. Free admission is available on the third Thursday of each month from 3 to 8 PM.

If you are a member here

A membership to Washington State History Museum carries reciprocal admission, so the same card is worth free or discounted entry at other places in this program.

Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
