    Beautiful day exploring the fort was thrilling for grandchildren to run through and so cement structures intact. Short walk to lighthouse it was closed but you can walk around structure. Beaches; area to picnic and bathrooms.

    Good quality aquarium for kids given the size of the City. Affordable and a lot of exhibits. Good location in Fort Worden Park.

    The sparse parking and unassuming entranceto the Chetzemoka Park are deceiving! This large park has a beautiful view of the San Juan Strait, lovely beach, playground equipment, picnic tables, and a tranquil garden. At low tide, one can walk to the park from the north beach of Fort Worden park.

    Very well established airplane museum in Port Townsend, WA. Many old planes in wonderful, restored condition. Lots of memorabilia for the flying enthusiast.

    Advance reservation makes loading a breeze! Short ride across, about 25 minutes with beautiful view. They run a very efficient ferry system and on time. Be sure to reserve in advance

    Very clean park. We enjoyed all the open spaces. It is a bit out of town but honestly it is worth it. Very quiet. Felt peaceful. We enjoyed riding our bikes down to the beach and watching the mini crabs and searching for shells.

    Beautiful exhibits and great people. They open up and help with the Port Townsend Film Festival by providing a central location to pick up tickets and get information.

    This trail starts in town at the local BoatYard, so enjoy the bustle and the boats in moorage, then continue along the water past the Paper Mill into the trees. The trail is fine for walking and bicycles, with plenty of room to avoid collisions, and is well maintained.

    Beautiful interior with attention to detail. Some exceptional furniture pieces. Beds are comfortable and views are stellar. Farmer's market and bakery just up the street and downtown waterfront within walking distance. We've stayed several times in different rooms and during different seasons. Allows a pleasant experience.
