Kristine GelsanoNovember 19, 2014Even if you don't have the cash to wander into any of the museums or attractions, it's worth walking around Seattle Center and just to take a stroll and see the sights there for free.
- Throw like a GRLJanuary 23, 2017Great on a beautiful day! Stop by the Museum of Pop Culture and buy a discounted pass for other exhibits in Seattle Center (Chihuly Glass Museum, the Space Needle, etc.)!
Valerie Moffett ForsytheJuly 13, 2014Lots of great vendors at Urban Craft Uprising this time! I highly recommended attending this event in the Summer or Winter time. Support local artists and buy gifts for friends and family here!Upvoted 2 weeks ago
Kenna BarnesSeptember 5, 2015I saw the Arab Festival here last week and it was really incredible. The center was very nicely laid out with easy access to different venues and great views.
Chess ErwinAugust 4, 2016This is a veritable cornucopia of arts, cultural attractions, theatres, and museums! Something for everyone, especially when weather is nice and not rainy, which probably isn't often!
A great urban center for people of all ages. Free exhibitions park space and great museums! Space needle, EmP, science center, armory, chihuly Garden, stadiums, international fountain! I love it here!
The view from the top of the needle is priceless and worth every cent. Some people have lived here too long and are spoiled by the beauty of Seattle. Don't take it for granted.- Leif UtneMay 29, 2012Check out the Earth Portal - a mind-blowing 25-minute guided tour of the universe projected in a mini planetarium - between the Center House and the EMP, just north of the monorail station.
Miranda RenschSeptember 1, 2014Sit down in the crowd for an interesting new view of the world! Someone might put their hand down the back of their pants for an excitingly long amount of time. What a treasure!
Gaston Motola AcunaSeptember 26, 2017Awesome, great views, you must walk through the area if you're touristing here.
Beautiful ExistenceOctober 28, 2012Check the SC website often for events and happenings because they have so many affiliations with nonprofits in the community that you could miss a once-in-a-lifetime event right under your nose?!!
Int'l. Gem & Jewelry ShowMarch 9, 2012AMAZING BEADING CLASSES TOO! Beading workshops all weekend. Workshops on wire-work, making earrings and her patented pearl knotting technique. The CLASSES ARE FREE w/purchase of the $10 class kit.
Anya SoloviovJuly 26, 2016Best place for a picnic on the grass/ watching the kids in the fountain after a bite from the local grocery store or the festivals- SeattleMonorailAugust 17, 2011The heart of Seattle's arts and culture - home to the Space Needle, Pacific Science Center, Experience Music Project, The Children's Museum, & more! Monorail runs directly between downtown & here.

Justin LisenbyNovember 13, 2017Fun place to explore. Full of museums, parks, restaurants, and the space needle.
Seattle MetJanuary 31, 2012A three-exhibit series presents 129 years of American World’s Fairs, artifacts from MOHAI’s Seattle 1962 collection, and photography by the Young Social Entrepreneurs. Apr 21–Oct 21 Read more
The $14 for the Space Needle is totally worth it. Plan so you can stay awhile, grab a drink and watch the light change over the spots & neighborhoods of Seattle.
Always a vibrant day out: monorail access and one of the best-designed playgrounds I've ever seen.
Izzie AnthonySeptember 7, 2014What a perfect day for filming. 82° weather, Hawaiian festival going on,& a grumpy director with an empty stomach!
Karen ChungFebruary 16, 2019American Junkie was awesome, poignant and very relevant to our heroine epidemic time now.- Seattle MetJanuary 31, 2012This multimedia performance brings a beatboxer, dancer, and visual artists Marc Bamuthi Joseph and Theaster Gates together to muse about environmental justice.

GAugust 10, 2014Convenient place...a cross the street from the EMP museum is one of the city's two Ride the Ducks locations.
Jeff HamiltonJuly 17, 2011If you're here for the bite make sure to swing by the Blues Stage, underrated and tucked away but definitely worth finding
Crist JarrettMarch 13, 2016Some great memories here. Wish they hadn't painted over the purple benches.
MarkSeptember 2, 2012Are you serious? If you don't have bumbershoot tix you won't have any access to food around Seattle Center other than Collections Cafe! Thanks Seattle- Int'l. Gem & Jewelry ShowMarch 9, 2012The International Gem and Jewelry Show Open till 6pm TodayTomorrow 10am-6pm Sunday 11am-5pmSEATTLE CENTER[Exhibition Hall]Mercer St.
Hanging out by the fountain, going up the Space Needle, catching a ride on the rather short Monorail and getting some fresh fudge - it's all good.
yolanda odonnellAugust 10, 2013Careful at the you-park- got scammed by phony parking guy. This visit will cost us $60.00 in parking alone!
