"FamilyFun, the leading family magazine and source on family
travel, has named Leavenworth, Washington top tourist town in
the Northwest. The Editors of FamilyFun asked 2,500 of their
readers to rate the very best places to visit in their regions
for the 2001 Family-Friendly Travel Awards. When our
northwestern readers are looking for a quick change of scenery,
they know exactly what to do. Head for the Alpine town of
Leavenworth, where Washington State recedes and travelers find
themselves in the heart of ... Bavaria." |

Leavenworth's main attraction is the town itself.
Back in the early 1960s, this was just another mountain town struggling
to get by on a limited economy. Sure, the valley was beautiful, but
beauty wasn't enough to bring in the bucks. A few years after a motel
with alpine architecture opened in town, Leavenworth decided to give
itself a complete makeover. Today nearly every commercial building in
town, from the gas station to the Safeway, looks as if it were built by
Bavarian gnomes. What may come as a surprise is that they did a good
job! Stroll around town and you'll convince yourself that you've just
had the world's cheapest trip to the Alps. People here even speak
German. Leavenworth has the small Bavarian Village atmosphere, with
parks, music, festivals, architecture, and shop-keepers in traditional
high country Bavarian garb. River rafting, hiking, fishing, swimming,
and mountain biking are some things to do in Spring and Summer. Winter
brings the opportunity to snowboard, sled, cross-country or downhill
ski. Leavenworth celebrates many festivals and some specifically for
children, Kinderfest in the Spring and Bavarian Ice Fest in the Winter.
Anytime of year, the town's most popular tourist activity seems to be
shopping for genuine Bavarian souvenirs in the many gift shops -- you'll
find cuckoo clocks, Hummel figurines, imported lace, and nutcrackers. In
fact, if nutcrackers are your passion, don't miss the Leavenworth
Nutcracker Museum which has more than 4,000 nutcrackers of all
shapes and sizes.
There are also many musical performances and
festivals in the small Front Street Park in downtown Leavenworth, where
a large gazebo serves as a bandstand. If you're looking for something to
do on a Friday night, drop by the Community Coffeehouse, Chumstick
Grange Hall, 621 Front St. which has live acoustic music ranging
from Celtic to contemporary to classical.
Downtown Leavenworth has seen an explosion of winery tasting rooms in
the past few years. You can now wander from one tasting room to the next
and sample wines from all over the state.
