Five Fun Things to Do in Yakima in a Day

Have no fear, I am here to give you a bird's eye view into some cool things to do to get a taste of the city (pun intended just a little bit).

First, you need something to eat to replenish your hunger pangs. Many locals love going to Essencia Bakery downtown. They have soups, sandwiches, freshly baked artisan bread, and decadent treats, like pastries and desserts.

After you get your taste buds happy, keep the mood going with a trip to Johnson Orchards. You can pick up local fruits and vegetables plus regional cheeses and baked goods.

A stop at the Yakima Valley Museum will give you background into the history and culture of the Valley. It's a must stop and make sure to buy a souvenir in the gift shop.

After all the food and intellectual appetite you've whipped up, release some of that energy with a little axe throwing at Tactical Tag. You can also play some laser tag while you're there.

Finally, head back downtown to whet your thirsty tongue with some libations at Single Hill Brewing. If you go on a weekend night, there will be a cool crowd there that's family friendly. You might even get to dance on the patio to a local DJ spinning the tunes.
