By now, we've all heard that Ballard's filled to the gills with salty Scandinavian fishermen. That was once true. But today's Ballard is crowded with foodies, families and funky shops.
So it might be time to get schooled in Ballard basics, at the Nordic Heritage Museum.

It's first Thursday again! This month, we're focusing on the Seattle Art Museum (SAM). I asked Jennifer Willson and Davida Ingram of SAM's education division to describe the exhibits that kids love most.

The best way to explore Seattle's attractions with kids? Head out on one of the "free days." You'll be able to visit for a short time, introduce your child to the protocol of museum-going and then duck out if you see a tantrum brewing on the horizon. I would suggest starting out with a quick tour --20 or 40 minutes -- and working your way up.

Every month, museums across the city open their doors on First Thursday, and parents and tots can enter for free. And every month, I'll bring you the best aspects of a new museum. This month, the spotlight is on the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture, located at the University of Washington.
