🦄 Meet Real-Life Unicorns This Weekend in Olympia

If you’re looking for something fun and unique to do with kids in the Olympia area this weekend… here’s an event straight out of a fairytale.

The Hands On Children’s Museum is hosting a “Meet the Unicorns” event in partnership with PNW Unicorns — a local group known for bringing beautifully styled miniature ponies (aka “unicorns”) to life with safe, hands-on experiences for children.

📍 Event Details
🗓️ Saturday, December 27, 2025
🕛 12:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.
📍 Hands On Children’s Museum
414 Jefferson St NE, Olympia, WA
🎟️ Included with admission

🦄 What to Expect
This isn’t just a walk-by petting zoo — the unicorns are part of an immersive experience for families:

• Kids can meet, pet, and take photos with real unicorns

• Themed crafts and activities may be offered as part of the event

• It’s designed for gentle, up-close interaction in a setting that feels magical but still safe and structured

PNW Unicorns has become a regional favorite for birthday parties, sensory-friendly events, and school visits — so expect this event to be a hit, especially during the holiday break.

🎁 Why It’s a Great Time to Visit
With many families off work and school for the holidays, the Hands On Children’s Museum becomes a go-to destination this time of year.

This unicorn event adds something extra special for kids (and grownups!) who want to experience something whimsical — especially for those who might be looking for low-stress holiday activities that don’t revolve around screens or shopping.

Bonus: Downtown Olympia tends to have fewer crowds post-Christmas, so it’s a great time to explore the museum, nearby shops, or grab hot chocolate from a local cafe afterward.
