- Fun Free Things To Do In Spokane
Spokane Falls
Spokane’s pride and joy, the Spokane Falls roar right through downtown and cascade over a series of waterfalls. That makes it a top choice if you’re looking for a picturesque walk, unique photo, or a sensory afternoon of classic northwest scenery.
Head down into Huntington Park to get right next to the falls and the soak zone. Or drop down to the falls overlook area on the north end of the Monroe Street Bridge for the perfect view of the upper and lower falls, Spokane Falls Skyride, and downtown skyline. Then, be sure to walk along the Centennial Trail and discover the dozens of walking bridges that cross between the islands of Riverfront Park and the upper falls.
Riverfront Park
The spectacular 100-acre Riverfront Park was created for the Expo of 1974, the first environmentally themed World’s Fair. The park features breathtaking views of the roaring Spokane Falls, the historic Great Northern Clocktower, and dozens of public art installments. In the summer, the rotary fountain is the perfect place to let the kids cool off. From traditional to zany, visitors can spend a day touring the many attractions at Riverfront Park without dipping into their pocket.
The world’s largest radio flyer can also be seen at Riverfront Park. Spokane’s Red Wagon was created by local artist Ken Spiering in 1990. It is a 26-ton, 12-foot-high sculpture made of reinforced concrete and steel. It’s rumored that the wagon can fit up to 300 people on it, but we don’t suggest testing that out. Don’t miss your chance to climb the stairs and snap a picture as you relive your childhood on the wagon’s slide.
Pavilion at Riverfront
The Central Gathering Place for the Spokane Region
Originally built as the U.S. Federal Pavilion for Expo '74, the Pavilion was a gift to Spokane from the United States government. Light shows Friday-Sunday Sunset-10 pm.
Spokane Sculpture Walk
After you visit the famous Red Wagon, you can continue onto one of Spokane’s best tours, the Sculpture Walk. The free, self-guided walking tour meanders through Riverfront Park where you can meet Spokane’s Garbage Eating Goat-yes, it really eats your garbage. Then walk by the river on the Centennial Trail towards the University District for dozens of other art installations.
Free Art Galleries
Gonzaga University’s 2,800-square-foot Jundt Art Museum features an eclectic mix of traveling exhibits, as well as a notable collection of glass from Northwest artist Dale Chihuly. Art enthusiasts should also take note of the Chase Gallery located in Spokane’s City Hall. The public exhibits there serve up a wide range of contemporary and traditional works.
Manito Park
Manito Park and Botanical Gardens is a 90-acre public park with arboretum, botanical gardens, and conservatory, located at 17th Ave and Grand Blvd in Spokane, Washington, United States. It is open daily without charge.
