4. Seattle Children’s Museum
The Seattle Children’s Museum, a kid-favorite spot, is located on the lower level of the Seattle Center Armory building (formerly known as the Center House, to old-timers). Long-time museum lovers will notice a couple of new exhibits in the space, including Neighborhood Paws, a veterinary office; Tribal Tales, dedicated to the Coast Salish tribes; and a post office where kids can weigh packages and slide behind the driver’s seat to make pretend deliveries.
Check out this full review of the new exhibits and museum experience for more info.
Fees and discounts: Admission is $12–$14; babies younger than age 1 enter free. Memberships start at $130 per year for up to four people.
Nearby fun: Seattle Center has something for all ages! Make your second stop — after the museum — the phenomenal Artists at Play playground.
