Seattle highlights
-
-
Space Needle
Built for the 1963 World’s Fair, this pointy icon is a skyline star. Have dinner at Sky City, the tower's rotating restaurant that makes one complete orbit per hour. Snap pics of downtown, Mount Rainier, Elliott Bay and the surrounding islands.
-
Experience Music Project
As a music metropolis and birthplace of grunge, the Emerald City welcomes even the most wee of rockers. Check out the artifacts of pop music from Jimi Hendrix to Bing Crosby. Experience the limelight at the interactive Sound Lab and On Stage.
-
Mount Rainier National Park
Hike through dense forests that open to serene lakes and streams. Watch clouds swirl over the icy volcano top, and camp under the stars. Take the family to Sunrise in summer to see mountain wildflowers, Mount Rainier, Emmons glacier and the Cascades. Hear the crack of glaciers and hit the Wonderland Trail's backcountry in winter for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.
-
Pike Place Market
This market is called "the soul of Seattle" with good reason. Buzzing year-round with hundreds of craftspeople, farmers, street performers and fishmongers, Pike Place attracts upwards of 10 million visitors a year. And heads up – visit early morning to see those famous flying fish.
-
Museum of Flight
With 80 aircraft onsite to ogle, Seattle’s Museum of Flight is the largest private air and space museum in the world. Visit the Challenger Learning Center, Aviation Learning Center and an ACE-accredited summer camp. Take your little earthlings to see the shuttle astronauts used to train.
-
Seattle Aquarium
Seattle may be famous for its salmon, but nearly a million visitors travel here to discover marine life. Watch rockfish and sea anemones wiggle through massive tanks. Take the tykes to a dive show, and the aquarium's two giant tide pools and touch tanks to see the aquatic life of Washington's outer coast and inland sea.
-
Seattle Art Museum
SAM's triplet of facilities (SAM, Olympic Sculpture Park, Seattle Asian Art Museum) have distinct characters and locations. Located at the northern end of the Seattle seawall, the Olympic Sculpture Park is an outdoor space filled with sculptures from eye benches to abstract planes. The museum's main campus downtown is home to Andy Warhol's Double Elvis silkscreen, and SAAM is in Seattle's coffee-house-laden Capitol Hill.
-
Washington State Ferries
Seattle boasts an impressive fleet of passenger and automobile ferries, ranking largest in the US and third largest in the world. Serving passengers who live on the San Juan islands and in Puget Sound, the ferries can also provide passage to Canada, Victoria, and Alaska Marine Highways.
-
Woodland Park Zoo
What began as a menagerie on a lumber magnate's property, the WPZ is now a full-blown zoo with 92 acres of exhibits and public space in Seattle's Phinney Ridge neighborhood. Meet over a thousand animals, including the furry descendants of the zoo's famous Bobo gorilla.
-
Hiram M. Chittenden Locks
Located in Seattle's charming Ballard neighborhood, the locks connecting Lake Washington and the Puget Sound are more than just a cool nautical attraction. On-site exhibits feature historic displays, and the Carl S. English, Jr. Botanical Gardens. Bring a picnic lunch and watch ships slip in and out.
