Seattle for Visitors

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.
