Exploring the Explore More Discovery Museum downtown is incredible if you have younger kids who love hands on activities. You should also totally check out the Edith J Carrier Arboretum for a beautiful and super relaxing nature walk!

If you're visiting Harrisonburg with family, I'd recommend exploring the Edith J. Carrier Arboretum for an easy nature walk, spending time at Hillandale Park, or checking out the Virginia Quilt Museum downtown. The Explore More Discovery Museum is great if you have younger kids, and Shenandoah National Park is just a short drive away for scenic views and outdoor activities. I’ve found that downtown Harrisonburg is also nice for a relaxed afternoon with local shops and family-friendly restaurants.
