Being a former teacher, I always look for place to explore local history. The museum does that for sure. You pick up some great insights into Yakima and the local area. We take out of town visitors here often.

Always beautiful, and a great outdoor activity. Now that the fall colors are turning, this place is probably at its best. Explore the grounds, and look for the one connecting point to the Greenway paved walking path. Leave plenty of time and explore that as well while you're here. This review will fade as other, newer, reviews take its place, but if you end up coming here and agree, do us all a favor and add a nice rating and some nice words to say (and remember what your Mom always said, "If you have nothing nice to say don't say anything"). Great to see quality things to do thrive in Yakima.
