Get out the swimsuit and bathing cap! The Bainbridge Aquatic Center offers plenty of opportunities to exercise or relax. Seniors get discounted rates for daily or monthly passes, including access to the steam room, sauna, swirl pool, lazy river, lap pool and more.

Journey back through the years at the Bainbridge Island Historical Museum. Their collections cover an impressive range—from journals, maps and diaries, to artwork, blueprints and archeological finds.

Take in a movie or a beautiful stroll. The Lynwood Theatre and Bainbridge Cinemas both offer senior discounts; so does the lovely Bloedel Reserve. –Cindy Jones
