Benaroya Hall Garden of Remembrance With Kids

Right in the heart of downtown Seattle, in front of our Benaroya Symphony Hall is a war memorial called the Garden of Remembrance. That might seem like a strange place to stop with kids, but it's one of our favorite detours when we're out and about.

and race leaf-boats with your brother (just don't let the poor person who cleans the filter know I told you)

When they're older, the kids will understand what this memorial is about. For now, it's enough to enjoy a little bit of quiet right in the heart of the city.
