Welcome to Seattle’s only family walking tour designed especially for kids! Seattle boasts that it’s a great place for kids, but the proof is in the pudding. Heather and Penny, two devoted Seattle moms and co-owners of Seattle By Foot, were stunned to learn there are only a few walking tours for kids in the whole wide world. So, they took matters in their own hands. The tour begins among the buzz of Pike Place Market and ends in the glitter of Westlake Center (with easy access to Seattle Center via Monorail). Both kids and parents will enjoy this entertaining and educational stroll to some of the best kid-friendly spots in downtown Seattle.
The Seattle Kids Tour is approximately 2 hours with 4-5 stops where we will engage in an activity that will keep the entire group busy and entertained.

We’ll discover public art, water fountains and skyscrapers alon…

Seattle Area
Welcome to Seattle’s only family walking tour designed especially for kids! Seattle boasts that it’s a great place for kids, but the proof is in the pudding. Heather and Penny, two devoted Seattle moms and co-owners of Seattle By Foot, were stunned to learn there are only a few walking tours for kids in the whole wide world! So, they took matters in their own hands… The tour begins among the buzz of Pike Place Market and ends in the glitter of Westlake Center (with easy access to Seattle Center via Monorail). Both kids and parents will enjoy this entertaining and educational stroll to some of the best kid-friendly spots in downtown Seattle.
The Seattle Kids Tour is approximately 2 hours with 4-5 stops where we will engage in an activity that will keep the entire group busy and entertained. We are all aware it is important for our kids (parents, too) to engage in regular exercise physically and mentally; on this tour we have everything covered! We’ll discover public art, water fountains and skyscrapers alon…
