Toppenish Washington Tourism

Thank you for your interest in visiting Toppenish, where the West Still Lives, in the City of Murals & Museums. Last year nearly 8,000 people walked through the doors of our Visitors Center & many more visited our city. We’re excited to think you may be one of them!

Toppenish is a community of approximately 9,000, located entirely within the bounds of the Yakama Indian Nation. Ours is a multi-cultural area, which makes for an exciting and vibrant community. We are home to some of the best agricultural land in the world, and grow a wide variety of crops, including hops, hard and soft fruits, and the grapes responsible for our famous Washington wines. The land is also well suited to various grain crops, and Yakima County is home to large dairy herds. Much of our economy is resource-based.

Toppenish has 72 professionally painted outdoor murals, making it one of the biggest mural programs in America. The mural project has become so popular that four walls in town have been erected with the sole purpose of having a mural. These murals depict historically accurate events in the life of our community. Many feature men & women who have made a lasting contribution to the town. These murals are paid for by private donations; no government funds are used. During the summer months, people may take a horse drawn wagon tour around town to view all of the murals.

We also have three museums: The American Hop Museum – the only one of its kind – showing how hops are grown and processed; The Yakima Valley Rail & Steam Museum located in the beautifully restored Toppenish Depot; and The Yakama Nation Museum at the Cultural Center – one of the finest Native American displays in the West.

With quality, affordable lodging, food for all palettes, and shopping, Toppenish is the place to visit. We offer an 18-hole public golf course that has a striking view of near-by Mount Adams; a national wildlife refuge for viewing a wide variety of waterfowl; easy access to the scenery of both the Cascade Mountains & the Columbia River; full gaming at Legends Casino; and old fashioned wagon tours of Toppenish.

Located in the heart of Washington’s famed fruit & wine country, Toppenish is just the place you’ve been looking for. With warm temperatures, cool evenings, and an average rainfall of eight inches, this is the place you can either laze away your visit or use it as a base to run yourself ragged. Toppenish: We’re the BEST OF THE WEST!! Visit our website at www.toppenish.net or drop by and see us at 504 S. Elm in Toppenish!
