Things To Do In Seattle

Museum of Pop Culture

This sheet-metal fever dream of architect Frank Gehry is like a rock ’n’ roll Guggenheim, home to interactive and innovative exhibits that span music, sci-fi and fantasy, animation, video games and other scrambled bits of pop culture. A hands-on studio lets kids and grownups mess with real instruments and studio hardware.

Space Needle

Seattle's most iconic structure was built in 1962 for the World's Fair and celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2012. The tower is 184 meters tall, with the Observation Deck at 160 meters and reachable in only 41 seconds via the high-speed elevator. The views are as mind-blowing as you’d expect, and just below is the rotating SkyCity Restaurant, if you’re looking for a meal with a side of panorama.

Pike Place Market

Founded in 1907, the market thrives today as a place for both locals and visitors to shop for the freshest salmon and crab, browse locally made crafts, pick up colorful bouquets of paper-wrapped flowers and enjoy steaming bowls of chowder while admiring the view of Elliott Bay. The original Starbucks is here, too, opened in 1971.
