Seattle, Washington

Local Attractions
About's local guide for Seattle suggests lots of attractions that are fun for kids.
Seattle for Visitors
About's guide for Pacific Northwest Travel covers accommodation, arts and music, museums, restaurants...
Pacific Science Center
Plenty to amuse the kids-- and maybe even educate 'em too.
Pike Place Market
A unique, chaotic, rambling landmark. Take a photo tour online.
Pioneer Square
A historical area, fighting seediness but fun to visit; best kid-pleaser is the Underground Tour of the old city from before the Great Fire of 1889. ("Eerie sunken storefronts").
Seattle Aquarium
Aquariums are always great places to visit with kids.
Seattle Children's Theatre
Check what's on stage.
Seattle Children's Museum
32,000 sq. feet of fun and education, with dress-up theatre, mazes, a time machine...
Space Needle
The Space Needle built for the 1962 World's Fair defines the Seattle skyline. You can visit the observation deck.
Woodland Park Zoo
Though not a zoo-lover, I found this a nice place to tour with kids. The zoo is vast, but you can rent strollers.
