Family Fun in Redmond

Experience a Day Full of Family Fun

A day of family fun in Redmond begins the moment you step off the light rail at the new Downtown Redmond or Marymoor Village station. Start your morning in the heart of downtown with a visit to Downtown Redmond Park, where kids can run through the splash pad, climb on whimsical play structures, or simply enjoy the open space. A short walk away, Hoffman’s Fine Pastries & Cakes is the perfect place to fuel up with fresh pastries, savory buns, and coffee for parents in need of a pick-me-up.

Midday Activities

With a range of kid-friendly options like Spark Pizza, Coastline Burgers, The Original Pancake House, and more, there’s something for everyone. On summer weekends, you might also stumble upon the farmers market, where live music and food trucks add a festive touch. For younger kids, the splash pad and open spaces at the center make it an easy place to burn off energy while you explore the shops or grab a second coffee. Don’t forget to stop by Redmond Art Works in Marymoor Village for children’s pottery, multimedia art lessons, and free creative sessions! Additionally, 24hr pottery is offered for individuals 18+.

Afternoon Activities

In the afternoon, head over to Marymoor Park, one of the Eastside’s most beloved outdoor spaces. Families can climb on the large playground, rent bikes to cruise along its paved trails, or visit the rock-climbing structure. During the summer, Marymoor becomes even more magical with its outdoor movie series—Movies at Marymoor—where families can bring picnic blankets, snacks, and settle in under the stars for a family-friendly film on the big screen. And, you can enjoy live music at the Marymoor Live Concert Series. If your visit lines up with Derby Days in July, don’t miss it—this long-running Redmond tradition includes a bike parade, carnival rides, food trucks, music performances, and plenty of free activities for kids.

Evening Activities

As evening approaches, circle back to downtown Redmond for a relaxing dinner. Woodblock is a local favorite with a welcoming patio and something for everyone—from kid-friendly meals to craft cocktails for the adults. A scoop (or two) from Molly Moon’s Ice Cream makes the perfect sweet ending to a summer evening. For families looking to keep the fun going, Uncle’s Games in Redmond Town Center is an inviting spot to explore new board games or browse through puzzles and collectibles.
