The Lake Washington Ship Canal Fish Ladder
People young and old delight in watching salmon swim upriver from the Ballard Locks fish ladder observation room. There’s a chance to spot salmon migrating year-round, but there’s no doubt the best time to visit is between July and late September.
Hiram M. Chittenden Locks
Built in 1911, the Ballard Locks pass boats between sea level and the higher elevation fresh waters of Lake Union and Lake Washington.
Carl S. English Botanical Garden
(Pass by)
7 waterfront acres with curated gardens & rare plants containing more than 500 species and 1,500 varieties of plants from around the world. Locals visit these gardens especially for the fan palms, oaks, Mexican pines, rhododendrons, and a fine display of roses.
National Nordic Museum
(Pass by)
Entry into the museum is not part of the tour's activities, however, there is still much to do and see. Keep your eyes peeled for the 14 foot tall troll statue made from recycled materials outside the museum's entrance. We will enter the museum to enjoy a Scandinavian inspired treat from the museum's cafe.
Freya at National Nordic Museum
Freya is a small scale, Danish-American owned bakery operating out of Pike Place Market. Their second location is inside the National Nordic Museum. Here guests will enjoy a small Scandinavian inspired snack included in the tour.
Marvin's Garden
(Pass by)
Built at the site of the old Ballard City Hall, this park marks the start of the Ballard Ave Historical District: one of the best areas in the city for bars, restaurants and shopping. A phenomenal farmers market operates here on Sundays. Sadly, no relation to the Marvin Gardens from Monopoly.
Skål Beer Hall
Inspired by old Viking mead halls, this local tavern keeps Ballard rooted in its tradition. Guests will have their choice of beer or mead to accompany salmon skewers.
Cookie's Country Chicken
After the bakery and mead hall skewers, guests get their fill on Seattle's best fried chicken. Can you handle the heat?
Fair Isle Brewing
The tour ends with dessert from the restaurant operating inside one of Seattle's premier breweries. Fair Isle specializes in rustic ales such as saisons and farmhouse ales. Their food offerings match the adventurous nature of their beers.
