Seattle Center

general info | photo gallery | map & directions

The 1962 World's Fair, also known as the 'Century 21 Exposition', brought in nearly 10 million visitors from around the world for a glimpse of Tomorrow, Seattle-style. What remains of the futuristic enclave of exhibition halls, arenas and public spaces is today called the Seattle Center.

A visit to Seattle just isn't complete without a trip to the Space Needle. Journey skyward for amazing views, fine dining and an experience you'll never forget. At a height of 605', the Space Needle boasts fabulous 360 degree views that include Mt. Rainier, Puget Sound, the Olympic and Cascade Mountains, the beautiful city of Seattle and beyond.

Other attractions at Seattle Center include the Fun Forest Amusement Park, 40 shops and restaurants of the Center House, The Children's Museum, the Pacific Science Center, and Experience Music Project (EMP), a one-of-a-kind music museum combining interactive and interpretive exhibits to tell the story of the American popular music, from its roots in jazz, soul, gospel, country and the blues, to its influence on hip-hop, punk and other more recent genres.
