The Children's Museum

Fodor's Review:

Enter this colorful, spacious museum off the Seattle Center food court through a Northwest wilderness setting, with winding trails, hollow logs, and a waterfall. From here, you can explore a global village where rooms with kid-friendly props show everyday life in Ghana, the Philippines, and Japan. Another neighborhood contains an American post office, a fire station, and a grocery store. Cog City is a giant game of pipes, pulleys, and balls; and kids can test their talent in a mock recording studio. There's a small play area for toddlers, and lots of crafts to help kids learn more about the exhibits.
