Pacific Science Center
Pacific Science Center Review
Located on the Seattle Center campus, the Science Center has been a destination for families, school groups, and curious tourists since the 1962 World's Fair. Much has changed since then: the center now has more than 200 indoor and outdoor hands-on exhibits and a state-of-the-art planetarium. The dinosaur exhibit—complete with moving robotic reproductions—is a kid's favorite, while Tech Zones has robots and virtual-reality games that captivate visitors of all ages. Machines analyze human physiology in the Body Works exhibit. The tropical butterfly house is stocked with new chrysalides weekly; other creatures live in the Insect Village and saltwater tide-pool areas. Next door, IMAX movies and laser rock shows run daily. Outdoor attractions include a giant water wheel that kids can play in and Northwest-focused exhibits like a Puget Sound tide pool. The center holds after-hours cocktail parties once a month, usually to celebrate a new IMAX release.
