We took our 4 kids, ages 7-13, & had an amazing time! Our guide was great & made the information relevant, engaging & interesting to our kids. They even asked questions that were relevant (we were stunned). Guide did a great job of keeping them present & our 3 boys (ages 9, 11 & 13) now all want to be pages! The 2 oldest said it was the favorite part of our trip to Olympia! …
