Super place for family education and fun! Good to have membership here. IMAX, Planetarium, new exhibitions, inside playground for kids, various science sections - I always can find something new and creative! Really complex things can be shown in the simple visual models. Pacific science center encourages scientists inside ourselfs! Highly recommended for all ages!
These guys are great!!! Do the Groupon thing. Saves time and money.
My expectations were a notch higher. The place needs a fresh experienced eye to get it up to speed. It looked outdated and some items didn't function. Assistance by volunteers was great though!
Great place to take little ones and spend an entire day! Lots to do, but does get a little repetitive if you go there often. And it does get crowded on the weekends.
Good place for kids and family a lot of fun you can learn a lots of things.
We love museums, and especially science museums. But this is one of the most outdated and boring science museums we've been to. Maybe it was great 30 years ago, but it definitely isn't worth the admission today.
Example: the dinosaur exhibit has an animatronic dino that must have broken, so he has a green fabric sleeve around his neck. Horrible disrepair on an old exhibit.
Even the ticket / admission booth outside needed cleaning.
One of the best places in Seattle. In addition to world class educational facilities, excellent exhibits, and great location in the middle of the Seattle center, the Imax uses circular polarisation rather than linear so you don't want to puke for 3d movies.
The butterfly atrium was beautiful and all the different interactive exhibits were fun.
Had a great time with our teens. Lots to interact with. Great family experience.
Provides a variety of exhibits that will surely entertain people of all ages
Go to the hands on museum in Olympia if you have kids. Much better experience! Otherwise find something else to do, seemed outdated and over priced when I took my family
Wish they would let you reserve seats like other theaters are starting to do. Seats aren't great either
So much fun as always. If you have the chance, try the VR interactive event CHORUS. It is a great way to experience VR and super fun with friends.
This place is cool but is really only aimed for young kids.
Very big. Lots of different areas to explore, including a dinosaur exhibit, a planetarium, a Lego area, small children area, a tide pool, a cafe, regular live shows, a butterfly house, documentaries to watch, and much more. Lots of fun! And extremely educational.
Simple and uninteresting, probably good for kids. Very boring for adults and reptiles kept in extremely small habitats and poor environment. Don't waste your time and money.
Basically the place was a big playground for kids. Not worthy of going from adult-only perspective.
This is a great place gain knowledge and have fun. Learn something new on every visit. Love this place.
The laser show. Is a must see. Floyd or Led Zep music.
So much fun and learning for kids here ! We took our son for his second birthday and he ran around for 5 hours straight! The dinosaurs are super cool
Lots of interactive, interesting exhibits for kids and adults. I just wish the planetarium super was interactive.
This is such a great place for young children to learn and explore.
Amazing experience!
The senses are sensitive to each observation, the details, the knowledge acquired in each space.
A fantastic model to be reproduced in other countries so that more people have access to the History of the Universe and the world around them.
A dream come true!
A lot of things to see. Need a full to take it all in. Very interesting and educational displays.
So many different experiences to be had here! Very kid-friendly. Still has interesting bits for adults.
A must-visit classic Seattle locale! Great for families - lots to see and do.
A very nice science education exhibition with an activity corner for kids as well. Don't miss the butterfly garden if you are visiting
Wish i would have had more time to explore this place. We had to run through and get home
Very expensive for what it is.
Have been to much better science centres. Cost $100 for entry and one Imax show for a family of four. Did not feel worth it.
Most of the hands on displays were very wordy. Did not hold kids' interest. The live talks were a bit boring. Oh maybe we have just been spoiled by the amazing and free London science museum!
It did have some nice bits. It is worth going in if you have a whole day to spend in there. Otherwise, don't bother.
Wonderful fun filled and educational venues for adults to enjoy with their littles!
This place is incredibly engaging for children and adults. The additional events that happen from time to time just add icing to the cake.
Get a membership, it s so worth it. This place has something for everyone. Story time, free exciting shows, water zone, touch tank, playroom, butterfly room, and so much more.
Interesting way to teach science. Dynosarus are the special attraction.
Really fun and interesting place to visit while in Seattle. The exhibits are very cool to interact with and learn from. Everything is geared more towards children, but adults can still find pleasure in their visit too.
Pacific Science Center has a number of activities for all ages. While not the top spot for entertainment, there is still plenty to do. Be sure to call ahead for any special activities for the day. If you plan extra time, there's a ton of other places to visit at Seattle Center as well!
The whole family loved it. I loved the butterflies.
My girlfriend and I visited the science center today and it was pretty interesting. We burned through most of the building in 2 hours, and most of the interesting bits required more money. I think the basic price is more expensive than it should be.
Always a
treat
Some interesting exhibits, but adults probably have seen most of it before. Fun place for the kids though.
The elevated bike is pretty fun (and free). Kind of scary at first but perfectly safe.
This place suck and it's super boring and slot of the food here I way to pricy
A great place for both young and old to learn and have fun. They have lots of interactive exhibits that make you understand and appreciate the science behind things. Don't forget to visit the Butterfly House, which is sort of tucked in a little corner. Get the Seattle City Pass and save money!
We decided to get a membership and it's is so worth it with our family of 4. We love this place. I wish parking was free though...
Kids will injoy all the details here , do not hesitate to take them to the lazer show for example .. and then they will find a lot of free games and activities to do for the rest of the day
Went here as a child, but only recommend going to select sections at the PSC.
Came here with my sons class and we had a blast while learning fun new things.
So much with the grandson, loved the butterfly exibit and all the exploring stuff.
especially if you are still a 7 yr old at heart omg cool ...
Place is a bit old and tired but a good place for young kids to play. Cafe is terrible.
Great but some exhibits are dated...like the dinosaurs' animatronics.
The King Tut display was better than I had even hoped for and though crowded the workers handled it calmly and smiling.
It was gross walking in past the dirty pools of water. I love the water as we are Seattle but it has to be clean, circulating and filtered.
An interesting museum with tons of activities for younger children. There's a lot to experience and quite a variety of fun science themed hands-on things to do. The parking structure is really cramped and kind of scary to get in and out of. This is something you do with the kids at least once, but I don't think I'd do it again unless they get new attractions.
Fun place to go for kids and adults. Lots of hands on options, great variety of attractions.
Gear towards kids mostly. For adult visitors, it is a big mad house. Seems to really provide access to the more fortunate of the area's children at that.
There are very few people in winter, very friendly to children, you can go shopping all day inside.
There are so many cool things in this place and it could not fit in this message. All in all, it is great place to visit. By my son, Eric
I had a great time, the cashier was funny and the museum was absolutely amazing!
I went with my daughter's 3rd grade class. The student's were thoroughly engaged. In my opinion over stimulated. It would have been nice to have a guided tour where groups are taken around so as not to miss anything!
I will be back to digest it all!!
Awesome place! All the kids (from 1.5-12 yrs old) really enjoyed it. Make sure to catch the lil shows on the stage throughout the day. And if the VR is available def sign up for a spot (the upstairs one for groups of four) And tix available on groupon!
It's a children's museum. Doesn't go that in depth on any of the exhibits and almost all are interactive in a very simple sense. An alright way to spend 1-2 hours
As an adult without kids, I found that parents use the museum more as a babysitter than a learning tool. Kids of all ages simple run from one exhibit to the next as parents stand back with no attempt of teaching their children or themselves.
Butterflies are beautiful. They even have a chrysalis hatchery.
My son loves the Pacific science Center. There is something for everyone.
Came from Vancouver. My kids really enjoyed it here!
The travelling exhibits are always a treat, I just wish they didn't cost so much in addition to entry
It's great if you go there for your (or someone else's) first time, but after that it just seems sad. I went to go see the VR exhibit, and all that they had were 2 VR games that you had to schedule and pay for, and some weird other things. The food is decent at best, but overpriced (as usual). The only thing worthwhile are the space exhibits and the butterfly exhibit. Better for little kids, and in desperate need of updating.
