    Even at the end of fall when many flowers were done blooming, Manito Park is a lovely place to explore. We focused on the Duncan Gardens, the Japanese Garden (small given our experience at other cities), and the Gaiser Conservatory. You can easily skip the Washington Memoria - we expected something grander. The Upper Manito Playground is good if you have young children as there are convenient restrooms (although not private).

    We had a nice picnic and enjoyed walking and driving around the surrounding residential neighborhood.

    Riverfront Park is a well-maintained beautiful park area that surrounds the Spokane River in downtown Spokane. Parking can be a bit tricky at busy times but on a Sunday afternoon in October we found easily accessible street (2-hour limit) and lot parking. The park is very easy to negotiate. Only a few activities require fees (merry-go-round, gondolas). It has a very nice, paved trail to walk on to take in all the sights including the falls, Exposition Pavillion, the Big Radio Flyer Wagon, the Marathon Runners Sculptures, the Garbage Goat and a variety of additional outdoor art. So many places for great photos. There are playscapes for kids to enjoy as well as basketball courts. Accessible restrooms and a gift shop are in the park area with additional shopping and eateries nearby. It was a great place to spend a leisurely afternoon.

    On a beautiful September day a group of us set out from Spokane and rode 31 miles west. The paved trail passed through a nice residential area, high above the Spokane River. On down the way there were some pretty hilly sections through a pine forest and Riverside State Park. Near a section of the River called The Bowl and Pitcher, we hiked down to the River and found a swinging bridge. We lunched at Sontag Park. All in all a nice ride!

    We like the events during harvest season, at Halloween and Easter. It's a fun family activity. Our granddaughter did an egg hunt and Halloween activities. She was fascinated by the cow train and liked the playgrounds and animals to pet. Their fresh produce is great, and their baked items delicious (for those who can eat them).
    I wish they had more gluten free baked items for people like me, though.

    Our son-in-law took us to the mead-tasting facility once and that was a fun option which also included a petting farm our granddaughter enjoyed.

    We visited Riverfront Park and were very impressed with the double bridge which provided a great view of the Spokane Falls, it was a day of brilliant sunshine and we could only imagine how powerful the falls would be after heavy rainfall. What a great thing to have flowing thru the middle of your city.

    We toured the campus and had the opportunity to speak with several students. We were very impressed! Beautiful art installations and a serene open grotto area for prayer.

    This is a well manicured Japanese Garden with all the correct elements. It's not huge, but still gives an immersive experience.

    Excellent minor league ballpark. Lots of food options and their order at seat and have delivered appears to be very popular. Enjoyable place to see a baseball game. Lots of fans with home team jerseys and hats.

    What makes this good size town stand out, is the location on the beautiful Spokane river. Many walking trails along the river, and very dramatic waterfalls.

    We enjoyed dinner in the basement pub. The food was great. The atmosphere was casual. Most of the tables are set for stools, but there are a few standard height tables.

    Weaver told that this was the place to go to pick our own huckleberries. Well, kind of. They were very difficult to pick on the steep rocky slopes. In an hour and a half we picked about a cup full. There are no marked trails. You kind of follow some beaten down brush that people before you made through. However, it was a very nice drive up the mountain road with lots of vistas to stop and view the valley below. Ironically, when we returned to our downtown Spokane hotel, there were huckleberries growing on the bushes right below us!

    We visited during their exhibit on DreamWorks Animation. The museum is not very large, but exhibits were all very well done. In addition to the major exhibit, they had smaller exhibits on Native American canoes, and on historic flour sacks (far more interesting than it sounds!).

    I am a huge fan of older homes and this is one of the best I've seen. Very well preserved, with a wonderful brochure to accompany a self-guided tour, in addition to having knowledgeable docents on each floor and in the carriage house to answer questions. I wish the servants floor was open to the public because I'd loved to have seen how the staff lived. There are also tours on the hour. The house has been lovingly restored and maintained. The carriage house has a motor car and carriage inside as well as excellent photo displays and stories of various Campbell staff members. The home is free to tour and is included in the admission to the NW Museum of Arts and Culture next door.
