Even 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 GRL

Great 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 Forsythe

Lots 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!

Kenna Barnes

I 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 Erwin

This 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!

BJ Liestman

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!

Ben Costa

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 Utne

Check 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.

Karen

Excellent area to relax, have a meal, and enjoy the Space Needle up close.

Miranda Rensch

Sit 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 Acuna

Awesome, great views , you must walk through the area if you're touristing here.

Beautiful Existence

Check 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 Show

AMAZING 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 Soloviov

Best place for a picnic on the grass/ watching the kids in the fountain after a bite from the local grocery store or the festivals

SeattleMonorail

The 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 Lisenby

Fun place to explore. Full of museums , parks , restaurants , and the space needle .

Oremo Ochillo

Lots of outdoor concerts going all summer long

James Whetzel

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.

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.
