Experience Music Project Reviews

This is such a fantastic place for movie and music lovers. We enjoyed all of the exhibits! My 4 year old had a blast!

Kind of a weird museum . The exhibits seem so random; they have horror, sci-fi and fantasy themed halls, and then also a Bowie exhibit, a Jimi Hendrix room, an indie games area, and a large Star Trek exhibit. Overall it s ultimately a lot of costumes and props in glass boxes; which does get boring. There s also nothing current in there, everything is from the 90s or later. Wouldn t go back, but wasn t a bad visit. No clue why they think that people will pay an extra $5 to see the Muppets exhibit - that seemed like a total money grab.

A Seattle must-see! Well curated museum and the visitor experience is great

Really fun and the temporary video game exhibit was neat.

Great musuem. The Pearl jam exhibit was my favorite but everything was well done and museum itself is gorgeous and expansive. The sound lab was cool hands on. Unfortunately I have no musical bone in my body but went with a musician and that was great. I'd be interested in going back if again depending on what special exhibit would be on display.

Had a great time here while checking out Seattle.

Leave yourself time to check out the music lab, where you can play instruments on your own or with guided programs. My favorite part of that exhibit was learning exactly what different guitar effects pedals do!

The genre sections are really fun, too. They have whole spaces devoted to Fantasy, Sci-Fi, and Horror, and each one felt like the designer really loved the genre.

Very cool experience. A must see for any music lover, regardless of taste.

A really fun stop on our tour of Seattle. A ton of exhibits that eximpify each of their respective categories excellently. Tons of signs to read if you enjoy those, ample room for plenty of people to fit, interactive exhibits, and more. The Marvel section is an extra five dollars if you fancy visiting that. Overall a nice enjoyable pitstop in lovely Seattle.

Awesome and immersive experience! I love the new Avengers exhibit, it is astounding!
- Get there early, your ticket is good for the entire day and re-entry, until 7 PM
- Take your time, there is lots to read and do

Great fun, but check to see if the exhibits interest you before going!

One of the better places I have been to. This is a don't miss if you visit Seattle.

When my wife & I were there, they had so many props from horror films and fantasy films (Walking Dead to The Princess Bride). Marvel had its own exhibit, but we are cheap and skipped it. It was still our favorite part of our visit to Seattle!

I've been a member of the EMP for years at this point and have had some of the coolest experiences of my life there. People like to rip on it and call the building ugly. It's not, they are just small minded. The museum brings in great exhibits, hosts awesome events, and brings in incredible speakers (I'll never forget meeting Clive Barker). Haters gonna hate, but I'll be here with my membership in hand every chance I get!

Nice place but too expensive. The fantasy world was cool but definitely not worth the price to see that and the other exhibits (horror, sci-fi, indie games, guitars). If you really love music (rock) then maybe it would be worth it.

Photos (non-flash of course!) from the Jimi Hendrix collection

Long lines to get in and go through the museum on the weekends but it's fun. Plan on going for a few hours and probably not a weekend day!

Beautiful museum with unique musical history pieces and lovely staff

Amazing experience, I would love to go back there again

Quite an interesting museum! Interactive areas, lots of media and awesome temporary exhibitions.

Interesting pop culture spot for memorabilia, information and viewing movie props.

Definitely one of my favorite museum's in Seattle. My favorite areas are the sci-fi and fantasy as week as the sky theater.

I enjoyed the exhibits at the EMP very much. I went during the star trek exhibit, which was fun, but the horror, sci-fi and fantasy exhibits were also quite charming in their own way.

Great videos Michael Jackson, Jimi Hendrix and Taylor Swift

I come here every trip to Seattle. Always something new to see and just a cool place!!! This is a must see!

This place was okay, not worth the money.. I would much rather explore the Pike Place Market or even Chuhily Glass Garden..

Very nice building like how the train goes through it and even better going inside but beware you'll spend hours in and around the building looking at all the cool sites

It had everything and the horror attraction was my favorite they also have a prince one if you are interested in that

Loved it. So much fun. Stayed on the top floor for a few hours.

This museum is out of place. The best I've ever seen. It is interactive, entertaining, daring, cultural, educational ..., it has everything! A pride for Seattle!

A very interactive and fun museum to go to! During my visit a portion was shut down because they were changing the exhibit, but there was still so much to see here. I especially enjoyed the fantasy as well as horror movie part.

Cool expositions. Great to spend some time just watching music videos and more in the large centerpiece screen. I'd recommend the membership if you intend to return a few times.

Amazing and beautiful experience. There is so much to see in this museum, you could spend the whole day there. The horror exhibit on the first floor was my favorite part. Props from the most popular horror movies are on display along with some hanging corpses. The sound booth was also really cool. You go in and there are a few instruments to choose from and you can actually record your own music. I will definitely be back!!!!

Not your ordinary museum. I highly recommend people to go check this out.

There is a wonderful sound room where you can play instrument to your hearts content.

The museum seems to have lost some of the best stuff they had from the last time I came. Still worth the ticket price though.

This museum is a must do to get the total feel and vibe of Seattle! Hendrix Nirvana Pearl jam it's all about the grunge. The reviews are a little inaccurate where it says you can spend wanted 2 hours there! I think we spent four and still had more to see.

Wonderful geekery and music. Great Merch and the sci-fi hall of fame was very cool.

Peter was an amazing help when we entered the museum. He gave us a lot of information about the current exhibits and how to get the most bang for our buck! He is extremely personable and charismatic. We had a fantastic time visiting the Minecraft exhibit and when we are back in Seattle, we will definitely return. Thanks again Peter!

Very cool. Loved the Star Trek & horror movie exhibit s.

This museum was awesome. In addition to viewing there is ample hands on experience for all members of a family. For me it was all about the roots of grunge. Id recommend the city pass $100 gets you into mpop, space needle, aquarium, and many other experiences.

If you have ever had an interest in music, then you've probably seen all the museum has to offer. I was hoping for interactive displays, new information, something cool (besides the building itself). I left disappointed. It's a lot of space for some pictures, guitars and some MTV playbacks The overall feel is like a hard Rock Cafe, without the food! The only interactive thing to do is the sound stage. You can learn to play a song on the guitar, drums, keyboard, and even sing in a sound booth (pretty cool) you can spend an hour or two, tops.... And there is the $30 to get in, and paid parking, for another $18.

Oh I loved this place and I almost didn't wanna go there!! You should give it a shot if you are a movies fan. Give yourself at least 2 hours to see everything. I kinda rushed it and didn't get to see everything. If you go in the morning, you can leave and go back the same day as many times as you'd like.
A secret tip, if you didn't have time to see everything before they close, you can ask for a return trip for the next day for FREE! Enjoy!

SUPER neat Museum in Seattle it's main genre focusing on Seattle based musicians.

Love love love! A must do for those visiting the city!

Such a cool building designed by Frank Gehry. It will not disappoint. I wish a had more time when I was here because they have a lot of cool stuff. The guitar and music exhibits are a must when at the Museum.

A wide variety of topics where anyone should be able to satisfy their inner nerd.

Awesome museum with so many interesting features and pieces. I wish I had gone much earlier in the day so I could have spent more time here! Included in the Seattle CityPass, which ended up being a fantastic deal for us first-time visitors. The staff is incredible. Knowledgeable, friendly, and they have a few very helpful amenities in place for guests who are exploring the city on foot such as bag and coat check. Very convenient location close to a lot of other attractions. I'll definitely be back to spend more time here soon!

Amazing and comprehensive collection or sci-fi props.

Super cool, don't go with a local though. They've been there so many time their jaded apathy kinda is a downer. Awesome to be able to walk through years of past cultural phenomena!

Enjoyed the time we spent there, was fun and educational!

Awesome! One of the highlights of our trip! And we saw the Seahawks from the 45 yard line. We loved it so much we are taking the kids there in a couple of weeks. All the way from Terrace BC

this place is literally amazing! I'm in love with it

Our whole family had a great time. The Marvel exhibit is worth the extra price. We had the most fun in the horror section.

Excellent place for modern pop culture references and icons. They always have a new travelling exhibit coming through!

This is a great place to visit if you are in the Seattle area. There is a lot of interesting exhibits and pieces of trivia to pick up while you are hear. The place is huge! About 4 stories of things to see including some famous rock stars guitars, a horror movie collection and two floors of just star trek.

It is the most beautiful building of all those I know of Frank gehry, it is worth getting here, what does not convince me is the content. The exhibitions are quite poor and there is a lot of paid content separately. And also, a lot of ads.
Entering is not essential.

Truly enjoy this museum. It's my 3rd time visiting but it never disappoints me. The atrium has a mega screen that shows special music videos and the selected episodes of receivers of the Hall of Fame. The horror movie section is fantastic! The other regular displays give you some ideas about pop culture. A good place for family and friends to hang out.

EMP is awesome Museum. I was there on Star Wars exhibition and Nirvana. If you are in Seattle go there.

Really beautiful, nicely designed exhibits. Something for everyone to enjoy.

The museum was really nice BUT, the restrictions on selfie sticks and cameras with auto flash is over governed. It really feels like, you know when kids are given the power to enforce something? Well imagine a staff of twenty somethings given the autonomy to enforce a unnecessary rule. So, for an exhibits that costs about $30 bucks per person. You watch a documentary movie on Jimi, the Grunge movement, and Marvel Comics and save yourself the hassle.

Just lots of really cool stuff and incredible music displays from a major portion of the soundtrack of my life (80's and 90's).

Family & I have always had fun guaranteed. We are current members & travel from Idaho to make this amongst other well known stops, a must. Love the atmosphere & look forwards to their new exhibits every visit.

Great exhibits that covers music to movies and describes their often overlooked impact on American culture and history

Really cool museum! Lots of info on great music and musicians!

Thank you Maya, you made are experience there so much better and your costumer service was the best that we have ever had you made the daughters birthday way more special and you made us so happy thanks again Maya if you ever see, Smile at her shes the best worker we have ever seen thanks again!

It's fun but not worth the price. You fly through everything pretty quick and the music area is always too crowded to experiment on any exhibits. Just kinda Meh about it all. Wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't so expensive.

Amazing museum with tons of really cool displays. Favorite place I visited in Seattle.

My 2nd time coming here. The exhibits are great but this time was quite disappointing. The horror exhibit was completed closed and there was no advertising for this. It was one of the main things we wanted to see. The David Bowie exhibit it sad as it is just pictures. No props like the Nirvana exhibit. All the Hendrix gear was gone too. I love this place...but I hope they step up their game or discount the price when while exhibits are gone.

Pay the extra money to get the year membership. Love the exhibits and I always play the drums when I go.
