Auburn

Auburn is a city in King County Washington. Even though it’s small, you won’t get bored here! Having a weekend in the city, you can enjoy horse racing, visit a casino or an amphitheater, go shopping or indulge in some food. There are also lots of stunning parks so kids will be very happy playing outdoors in Auburn. Whether you’re going for more of a luxurious trip, or looking for the best resorts for student vacations, hopefully this post will help you choose some of the best attractions for your trip.

Flaming Geyser State Park

If you use Google Maps, this will come in handy when in Auburn. Everything is close enough to visit by car, including the Flaming Geyser State Park, which can be reached in 20-minutes. It’s the perfect spot if the weather is warm. It offers plenty of summer activities too. The Green River can get quite crowded, especially on weekends. Lots of people enjoy kayaking, swimming, and fishing. The lake is long though so there are is plenty of space and lot of great recreation spots.

There is also a great camp site here with facilities like dining areas and restrooms if you fancy pitching up for the night! Those who don’t have a car can use a shuttle to reach the attraction and get back to the city with no hassle too.

Auburn Public Library

The Auburn Public Library is a former library building located in Auburn and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Lots of local students choose to use this to study or visit for books. However it is also quite common that students now use the services of https://www.writingpapersucks.com/edubirdie-com-review/  to assist with their essay writing. This has allowed them to spend more time around the city, meaning the library is often quieter than it used to be.

Emerald Downs

This is a popular attraction in the city. The racetrack has been running for 25 years and almost any horse-racing event here gathers a lot of people. There are two types of seats – half are bleachers and half are protected behind a large glass screen. This means you can visit and enjoy events, regardless of the weather. Since the track is small, viewers can see the entire race too.

The Emerald Downs is also a magnet for families due to the great grassy park area there. It’s perfect for outdoor activities with children as there is lots of free entertainment for kids.

Soos Creek Botanical Garden

According to the reviews, this is one of the most peaceful places in Auburn. If you want to spend a few hours exploring horticulture and flowers, this is the place to go. The Soos Creek Botanical Garden is also responsible for conserving rare plants. This means here you’ll find many different flowers that you won’t see elsewhere. 

There is an option to book a tour, if you want to learn as much as possible. If you choose to do this, you will be guided in the world of Botanics by a skilled specialist. This option it is frequently chosen by students who are studying and wish to learn more. However as mentioned, a lot of students now look online for help with studying, being sure to get an edubirdie price for their work. They can also offer their own learning and writing on the site to help others.

White River Valley Museum

This museum was established in 1996. It has since gathered an outstanding collection of top-notch exhibitions to help learn more about the history and development of Auburn. 

Thanks to many of these historical artefacts and engaging exhibitions, the White River Valley Museum is interesting for both children and adults. The admission charge is also not much at all. Adults can enter the museum for as low as five dollars and the fee for children is $2. There is also a chance to enter the museum for free on particular days.

Hopefully this will help if you are planning a trip to Auburn, as the attractions are not widely known.

📍Snaps from our stay at @deadwoodcabins 🤠🇺🇸🌵 a dreamy Wild West inspired retreat in rural Lincolnshire with the cutest cabins, cosy log fires and the best neighbours Dolly and Doris 🐷 cannot recommend this place enough for a little glamping getaway 👌 it was so nice to have a bit of a digital detox - the cabins have games and a private BBQ (you can pre-order food for the BBQ which will be in your fridge when you arrive) so we spent the night cooking dinner and smores, playing scrabble and drinking mulled wine in front of the fire 🥰 there are three different cabins to choose from and all of them are filled with souvenirs and trinkets that make each one unique. There’s also a saloon if you want to go hang (BYOB or there’s an honesty box for beers from the fridge) and you can help yourself to fresh chicken eggs for breakfast too 🍳 thank you to @paarriiee for being such a lovely host, can’t wait to come back 🖤

‘Ndu Y’Olive Me? YES @nellspizza I do 🍕❤️ 
There’s some new menu items that have made it straight to the top of my faves list, including a chopped salad, moreish garlicky dough bites, and a pizza with nduja, olives, vodka sauce and basil 👌 ALSO the cocktails are SO underrated here - the margs are top tier and their new seasonal drinks are a must try. Will be back for the pistachio ice cream sandwich (so hard not to prioritise eating as much pizza as possible and save room for dessert but I will manage it one day) ✌️

NYC day 6 ✌️ 🖤 started with mimosas on our NYC day 6 ✌️
🖤 started with mimosas on our rooftop. Waking up to the nyc skyline is my fave.
🖤 we got the subway to @citifield to watch the @mets ⚾️🏟️ so much fun - would definitely recommend doing this if you’re visiting. The whole experience was one of my favourites of the trip.
🖤 A little wander and some vintage shops on the way back to the hotel before getting ready for dinner.
🖤 Dinner at @ivan_ramen 🍜👌 easily the best ramen I’ve ever had (thanks to @josgoncalves91 for the recommendation - SO glad I went here and would definitely recommend to anyone else. Watch the chefs table episode on Netflix.)
🖤 ended the eve with a couple of amazing cocktail bars - @superbuenonyc (no.2 in North America’s 50 best bars) and @attaboy134 (22 in the worlds 50 best bars)🍸 unsurprisingly both up there on my list of favourite cocktails. Also both really lovely atmospheres and would 10000% return. Attaboy have no menu but you just tell them what you like and what you’re in the mood for and they make you something incredible 👌 it’s also hidden behind a very normal looking door (last pic) so you gotta knock to get in.
Superbueno is Mexican-American, a really fun vibe and also serve food 🌮

Autumn menu PERFECTION at @evelynscafebar ✨👌 Autumn menu PERFECTION at @evelynscafebar ✨👌 one my favourite evenings at one of my favourite spots, and the food is so so good. The menu is mostly small plates (with some biggies in there too) so it’s perfect for sharing with some bottles of wine ofc. 💕
My faves are the Tuna Crudo, BBQ Mackerel (the best mackerel I’ve ever eaten), the steak is 10/10 and honestly Evelyn’s is one of my fave places for the veggie dishes! Oh and the lamb. AND the dessert! Okay I’ll stop. If the fact that every dish on the menu being great isn’t enough to get you there, they also offer 50% off wine 5-7pm weekdays 🍷 which is surely one of the best happy hours in town?! 
20/10 always great and this menu might be the best yet!
