A mere $5 to get in for a self-tour. One of the towers is open and provides great views !

Best trail running at a suburban park around.
The original fort location was 17 miles south of here.
Always love going to Point Defiance Zoo, can’t go wrong. Prices are reasonable, you can bring in your own snacks and drinks, so you don’t have to get them in the park. Must go - Derek Ferreira
