Testimonials
 * This museum was very informative and also interactive. The exhibit on
   immigration and the concentration camps for Americans of Japanese ancestry
   were very enlightening. There were sanitizers in a lot of areas. It took us 2
   hours to go around the permanent and temporary exhibits.
   - Andrew E. (Google Review)
 * A nice museum to learn about the history of Washington state. I particularly
   liked the Natural History section that described the geological history of
   this place. It was interesting to learn about facts like the dry falls etc.
   They also have a working rail network model on display that’s fun to watch.
   - Meenakshi B (Google Review)
 * "Exhibits are put together very well. The section outlining the geological
   history of the area is accessible to all ages and interest levels. The train
   display upstairs has the most intricate detail and features. The exhibit on
   the Japanese in the US during WWII was very informative, as I had only ever
   heard limited pieces of the story beforehand. All the other exhibits have
   their own merits as well, too many to list here."
   - Leslie J (Google Review)
 * "I highly recommend going to Washington State History Museum to fill your
   mind with knowledge from the past to the present! Thankful to have a
   priceless treasure in Tacoma, Washington!"
   - Zhalena M (Facebook Review)
 * "This is a beautiful museum that is located in an area with stunning views of
   the bay and Mt Rainer. Lots of great local restaurants in walking distance
   makes for an easy day out."
   - Jim's Opinion (Google Reviews)
 * "Very well-rounded exhibits, and very inclusive as far as categories. The
   kids enjoyed it as well...."
   - Julia (Google Reviews)
 * "Always a great experience no matter what exhibit is showing. Their staff are
   always coordinated and friendly as well."
