Spokane sits in eastern Washington along the Spokane River, just 20 miles from the Idaho border. Spokane is home to Gonzaga and Whitworth Universities. Spokane is a fairly large city with a small-town feel. The downtown area has plenty of shopping, dining, and entertainment. Spokane was the site of the 1974 World’s Fair (Expo ’74) and the Riverfront Park holds onto symbols from the event.

Things to See in Spokane

  • Outdoor Recreation

    Spokane has many lakes and rivers in the area that outdoor enthusiasts flock do, especially during the summers. Rafting, fishing, boating, and kayaking are popular activities. Winters are less popular, but Mount Spokane Ski and Snowboard Park offers some cold-weather fun.
  • Parks

    City leadership has valued park space since the early 1900s. Spokane was an early leader in setting up a city-wide park system. Manito Park is a beautiful park with trails and a Japanese garden. It is one of the best experiences in Spokane. If you’re looking for some exercise, take a bike ride down the Centennial Trail.
  • Booze

    Spokane has an up-and-coming beer scene with about two dozen microbreweries. A couple of solid choices are Bellwether Brewing and Perry Street Brewing. The Spokane Valley offers some winery options. A few of our favorites include Barrister and the Arbor Crest Winery. The city doesn’t have a lot of options for distilleries, but Dry Fly is great.

When to Visit Spokane

  • Winter

    Spokane was ranked the 4th most depressing winter in the country. So, you know, it probably wouldn't be our recommended time to visit. If you are in town, perhaps check out a Gonzaga home basketball game.
  • Spring

    Spokane is much dryer than the coastal Washington cities. Spring is dry and mild.
  • Summer

    Summer is definitely the time to visit. Daily high temps are in the low 80s. The weather is dry and sunny. It is perfect for the outdoors recreation or just enjoying a drink on a bar patio.
  • Fall

    Early fall is a good time to visit, as the area gets a lot of color with the changing of the leaves.

What an amazing tour. We saw whales, dolphins and porpoises. The crew was very friendly and enthusiastic. We could really tell they are very respectful towards the animals, we were able to see two humpbacks for nearly half an hour, everybody was silent, the engine was off and the crew was also in awe. Only when the whales left, the engine was back on and we also started moving again. We really felt like we had all the time in the world and we didn't disturb the animals.

We had an amazing time flying over the beautiful canyons, admiring the waterfalls from above. While we are both quite adventurous, I have an occasional fear of heights. The staff was incredibly friendly and professional, putting our minds perfectly at ease and making the best experience for us possible.

This was one of the BEST experiences I have ever had! We extended our trip into a two-tank dive and got to explore the surrounding areas of the garden eel bay before going into our manta show.

This was one of our favorite experiences on the trip. Kensington Market is an incredible neighborhood with a vibrant culture. We had a LOT of food on this tour. If you're thinking this will be sample size HAHA you're wrong.

A wedding guest bought this voucher for me and my husband from our wedding registry via The Knot. We had Chiqui and Jonathan as our guides and they were great! Very personable and knowledgeable. They provided a cooler with water, soda and beer.

The catamaran was smooth and clean. The food was wonderful. The captain and staff were friendly and engaging. We could have have asked for a more fun and educational experience around the island. The snorkeling was wonderful with tons of fish, corral and eels.

My husband and I went on the catamaran cruise during our honeymoon in Milos... exceptional experience! I can not recommend it enough! Beautiful views, crystal clear water, delicious food and awesome crew! A trip to Milos would not be complete without this cruise! 10/10!

Francesca, our guide, was super personable and knowledgeable about the city and legends of Venice. The tour started near the train station and followed through all the alleys and streets to San Marco Square. The weather and the sunset were absolutely beautiful as well.
