Seattle Aquarium
Great aquarium for the whole family to enjoy. Our kids love the aquarium, lunch at nearby Ivar's, and a ride on the Great Wheel.
A wonderful place to spend time with kids. Lots of rotating exhibits, an IMAX theatre, and a tropical butterfly house. Grab lunch at the Armory - the fanciest found court you've ever seen - delicious.

Hands-on maritime museum in South Lake Union. Rent classic boat, or watch the kids play in the boat pond. Also a great splash pad for kids to run around and cool off on a hot summer day.
