    There is so much information here, and so many interesting things to see, touch, hear, and learn. My kids (ages 8 and 18 at the time of our visit) both loved our experience here! We went for an event, and plan to go back so that we can see even more. The dedication of the staff to uphold history is a blessing to our community. They have clearly dedicated both time & energy into making this museum an interesting space to learn from. Thank you!

    We really enjoyed their Art Fair oh, they had several booths with different activities for my kiddos to do. they also had a wonderful lady come from Hawaii who was doing dances and talking about culture and music. I thought this event was diapers and edible for all ages. I would definitely recommend going if you ever see that they're doing an event.

    Attended an excellent concert there and saw a breakdance exhibition. The museum is full of African American history and current awareness. Enjoyed the journey and educational experience.

    I had the pleasure of going with my son’s 3rd grade class on a field trip. Very good experience. The kids learned so much about the Native American tribes of the PNW! The environment is fun and perfectly geared toward young learners. Adults will also find this place very educational. Great place for families. However, I am unfamiliar with how things work there outside of school field trips. Great place!

    I attended the Asian Pacific Cultural Day, which was full of dancing, drumming, and arts & crafts. Kids had a great time with all the hands on activities and exhibits. I love the Tahitian dancers the best.

    A great local museum which has continued to expand over the years. Includes pioneer history and artefacts, foreign cultures, natural history and technology past, present and yet-to-be. Meant for school-age children, Karshner opens their eyes and minds by allowing them to physically interact with historical artefacts. Offers regular events and free open house days year-round.

    Fantastic museum experience, great for kids! So rare to have a museum as part of a school district, and this one is beautifully done!

    We took our students there for a science field trip, and we were treated so well. The kids could not get enough of those positive and highly engaging real-world experiences. We're certain they will never forget it. It was a very pleasant day for us.

    Cool venue with an interesting mix of artifacts. I attended for a training. Lots of displays and projection make it easy to see and the sound system made it very easy to hear presenters and one another.

    The meeting I attended was chaotic and noisy. The building had interesting displays.
