IKEA Renton River Days (with photos from last year!) - Friday, July 27th through Sunday, July 29th 2012 - Various hours

We did this last year and I can't say enough good things about this event. We spent 3 hours there and could have easily spent another hour or two. There were so many things for kids to see, interact and play with FOR FREE from bounce houses, junk chimes (see pic), music, a petting zoo, arts and crafts, performances, sports, a climbing wall, a parade, a duck derby, a LEGO Zone, contests, chalk art and soooo much more! And, IKEA Seattle was giving away 100's of bike helmets and, I think, backpacks last year, depending on the day so make sure to stop by their booth too! Plus, this year there is a circus you can enjoy at another location for "Less than a Latte".
