This is a very informative tour, and full of history. Learned a few things that I had never realized from living around here, that I thought were odd..........the tour explained :-)

Multiple trails to choose from so you can pick your distance and degree of difficulty. Awesome views - great place to watch the sun rise or set. Nice park at the trailhead with playground for the little guys and lots of parking.

The Gesa Carousel of Dreams is a world class presentation of a restored 108 year-old Charles Carmel hand carved wooden carousel. The antique horses were individually restored over a 10 year period with loving care to bring them back to life. The facility is open to the public and located in the middle of Southridge Sports and Events Complex along the Highway 395 in Kennewick, Washington. The multi-million dollar carousel is available for rides and photographs. Smiles, laughter and fun memories are provided at no charge. We have a concession stand available in the facility with traditional fare such as burgers, hotdogs, nachos, pretzels, beverages and candy.

Although the get together was due to the loss of a very dear friend, the loving, happy atitude she had for life made the choice of where we chose to meet. It's a fun place to visit, kind and helpful staff, beautiful design and a great way to remember our friend. She loved the bling and glitz so all the time spent designing such awesome horses was perfect. Its clean, music was great and we all have a wonderful memory to add to our minds. If you go and see, ride, look around and think, you'll be happy and smile as we did. No matter the occasion, it can be a happy and fun place to visit.

This park has everything, except a few good waterfront restaurants and beaches. Miles and miles of waterfront, fishing ponds, ball fields, Frisbee golf, regular golf, walking trails, children's play areas, etc. Just a huge huge park and a wonderful place to visit. Never really feels crowded because it's so big. Lots of events held there. Certainly worth the visit!

This is a wonderful tribute to our military members. It is a nice area to sit and reflect. The area is modern. I have visited the memorial in DC and this is a first class tribute in a beautiful location.

This museum wasn’t on our original itinerary, but we’re really glad we stopped. The geology and natural history exhibits are top notch and would appeal to all ages. We learned a lot about Hanford and how the government set up a plutonium plant here quickly to develop the atomic bomb. It gave us a lot of new perspective on World War 2 and the Cold War.
8. Howard Amon Park

Howard Amon Park is in great shape with lots of lawn, picnic tables, and benches. There is a large play area for children, a small amphetheter, and picnic shelters. A riverboat docks there several times a during the week in the summer months. There is a paved walking trail stretching miles long for biking, walking, or jogging.

Reviewed By SteveG864 - Richland, United States
LIGO Hanford is one of the two Laser Interferometry Gravitational Observatories that first detected the gravitational wave propagating from the collision of two black holes a few years ago and then more recently two neutron stars. For this the LIGO team was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics. The tour is fascinating, as you'll get a sense of the unprecedented precision with which distance is measured. Mind-blowing. Check ahead for when tours are operating.
