I'm loving the experience here. I watched a live show about combustion with plenty of fireworks, saw an exhibit with beautiful glass sculptures that blew my mind, got to be in a habitat with butterflies flying around my head and watch an otherworldly laser show with Neo. I'm heading to the museum of pop culture now and the planetarium later on. 10/10 experience.

Awesome place to take your kids and toddler for a fun filled outing. Lot's and lots of games and educational (scientific) experiences for kids and teenagers, parents too can enjoy the fun. Butterfly museum is a good learning experience too.

Very cool stuff and a perfect place to spend the whole day in. Watch a laser show, learn about science, play with fun interactive and educational displays. Perfect place that will entertain the whole family. Lots of changes being made so a bit of empty space when I went. But I definitely want to bring the nieces and nephews here!

We went with 4 kids ranging from 5-8 and had a blast! Exhibits were entertaining, engaging and educational! The laser show was super fun and I highly recommend the combustion live science demo! Troy was our combustion presenter and he was super fun! We spent 5 hours there and only left because we got hungry for dinner!

Currently, under 3 are free, 3-5 are $13.95, 6-16 are $17.95, adults are $23.95, and seniors are $21.95! Tax is included in those prices: what you see is what you get! There are also AARP, Military, and AAA discounts available :)

Is this centered on kids with families, or is it appropriate for adults as well?

Andrew Garner | Aug 10, 2022
Erik B | Aug 11, 2022

Yes and yes. There are some things that are more kid focused, but plenty of things that I think you need to be 15-65+ to appreciate. Some examples: models with transparent casing of transmissions, slip differentials; a VR exhibit (maybe temporary); an electrical acoustic exhibit; and some brain-/neuroscience-focused exhibits. There are probably other exhibits I'm forgetting about. And there are also several appropriate for all ages.

Where to park?

Dhika Satria Pratyangga | Aug 10, 2022
T Yurkanin | Aug 11, 2022

Pacific Science Center parking garage on 2nd off Denny, and 1st Ave parking garage at 220 1st Ave N. These two garages serve the whole of Seattle Center though, so add some time to your commute to park there or paid parking on the street.

Got some books at a sale among them a binder that said space ,Pacific Science Center Seattle Washington an contains48 slides from Apollo 8, 9 and 10 space missions with description for each want to know where its from,is it worth $ if so how much?

mickie love | Aug 10, 2022
Rob Leingang U2 | Aug 11, 2022

That would depend on condition, the age and if the set is rare now. It is probably a later release than the early science center goods since those flights were after the world's fair, try looking it up eBay and check completed listing for the same exact set to see what the market will actually pay.
