It's first Thursday again! This month, we're focusing on the Seattle Art Museum (SAM). I asked Jennifer Willson and Davida Ingram of SAM's education division to describe the exhibits that kids love most.

The best way to explore Seattle's attractions with kids? Head out on one of the "free days." You'll be able to visit for a short time, introduce your child to the protocol of museum-going and then duck out if you see a tantrum brewing on the horizon. I would suggest starting out with a quick tour --20 or 40 minutes -- and working your way up.

Every month, museums across the city open their doors on First Thursday, and parents and tots can enter for free. And every month, I'll bring you the best aspects of a new museum. This month, the spotlight is on the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture, located at the University of Washington.

My friend Mariah and I went to the Wing Luke Asian Museum last week with our kids, and it was fab. What I found most interesting was the museum's use of space and light, two elements toddlers and preschoolers can't get enough of.

I have long enjoyed the free First Thursdays at the downtown Seattle Art Museum, but I just found out about the free First Saturdays at the Seattle Asian Art Museum in Volunteer Park, which include family art programs.

My husband and I have been taking our son to museums since he was born. The trips haven't always been successful; there was a period when he was a toddler when his ability to appreciate art didn't match ours.

The Klondike Gold Rush National Historic Park in Pioneer Square is an engaging way for the whole family to learn about regional history. Stop in while you're downtown and be transported to the turn of last century!

When the day is too foul to be good for outdoor play, head over to the Olympic Sculpture Park and enjoy the view from the PACCAR Pavilion.

TASTE, the restaurant at the Seattle Art Museum, offers up delicious, quality fare for the whole family. Check it out next time you have the kids downtown.
