The Bloedel Reserve opened to the public in 1988 as a public garden and forest reserve. Today, with the price of admission, anyone is welcome to wander the property and take in the stunning natural beauty. It's located on the far northeast end of the island, less than two miles from the Agate Pass Bridge.

The most common route to explore is an approximately two-mile dirt trail that makes a big loop throughout the property. Visitors encounter open meadows, shady forests, and teeming wetlands along this route. Expect to encounter wildlife along the loop, including barred owls that like to blend into the surroundings.

The museum also displays regularly rotating exhibitions, offering something new to see with each visit. Expect to spend 30 minutes to an hour perusing the two floors of artwork. The popular BIMA Bistro is also on-site, offering regionally sourced entrees and espresso.
