Greentrike

Greentrike is a nonprofit that advocates for and models equitable access to playful experiences for children, youth, and families. Since 1985, Greentrike has honored the creativity and strength of children and youth, making play a foundation for connection, learning, and joy. Our vision is a just and joyful community where every child feels seen and supported. Greentrike supports children and their caregivers through two children's museums, one in downtown tacoma and one on joint base lewis-mcchord, along with programs across pierce county, including: play to learn, a kindergarten-readiness program; expanded learning opportunities, an after-school enrichment program; preschool powered by play, a drop-off preschool program; family steam nights; and the monarch diaper bank, which provides free diapering supplies. Admission to the museums follows a pay as you will model, meaning entry is by donation. Greentrike was the first children's museum in the nation to adopt this approach, and we remain the longest-running to offer it.
