Not sure what age group your looking to serve - you might look at two Washington State museums with interactive and educational activities for youth.
University of Washington's Burke Museum at www.washington.edu/burkemuseum/
and the Washington State Historical Society at www.wshs.org (go to education link). Both are very successful at reaching a targeted younger audience. 
Hope this helps. Cathy Campbell
