Located in the basement of the Armory, this museum can be a bit tricky to navigate. Even though I…read morefollowed the signs, I ended up at an entrance with stairs and had to carry our stroller down. Better signage is definitely needed to guide families to the stroller-accessible entrance! Parking is also a nightmare and pretty pricey, so I'd highly recommend staying all day and exploring the rest of the area to make the cost worth it. The museum itself is fantastic! It features several highly detailed, themed rooms, and each creative area has plenty to keep a little one busy. Having been to several children's museums, the standout here is definitely the theater, stage, and backstage rooms--it even includes audience seating!

The Seattle Children's Museum is a great spot for little kids, but getting there the first time is…read morea bit of a maze. It's on the bottom floor of the Armory building -- make sure you take the main elevator in the center of the food court, not the side elevators, or you'll end up wandering around confused. Once you're inside, though, it's fantastic. There are tons of activities and play areas, and plenty of seating scattered throughout so parents can actually sit down while the kids explore. My 18-month-old had an absolute blast, and even two hours wasn't enough time to cover everything at her pace before nap time. The changing rooms and stations are clean and well-maintained, and there are designated snacking areas too. My biggest complaint -- and the reason I don't get a membership -- is the parking situation. It's a mess. There are lots of different parking lots around Seattle Center, but they're expensive, and most involve a long walk if you're hauling strollers and kids. If they ever fix that, this place would be perfect. It does get busy, especially on rainy days but it's so big and spacious that it didn't feel too crowded on a Tuesday morning.

This was our first time visiting on a Saturday afternoon and unfortunately, it will likely be our…read morelast. When we arrived, the entire place smelled like burnt food. To their credit, the front desk staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the facility does offer food, drinks, private party rooms, and a seating area for parents. That said, the overall cleanliness and condition of the play area were very disappointing. The seating area floors were dirty, with leftover food and trash. The playground itself felt unsafe and poorly maintained there was a large pile of shoes at the entrance that children had to dodge while running in and out. Inside, the space was dark and gloomy, lit only by some string lights. Several play features were broken: only half of the ball shooter guns were working, and a touchscreen game area was completely non-functional. When we asked about it, staff told us their "tech person" was busy cooking in the kitchen and would fix it later. The unisex bathroom was in unacceptable condition filthy floors, trash on the ground, and an unflushed toilet. Parking is also inconvenient, as you'll need to find street parking or a nearby structure. I'm not sure if we happened to visit on an especially busy day or if the facility is regularly run this way, but the lack of cleanliness, broken equipment, and unsafe setup made it a very disappointing experience.

The 1 year old did fine in the toddler area and found things she liked to climb over. The older child absolutely loved climbing up and down the stairs and playing with the balls that you can launch. The play area was a little dark in some spaces and some parents would allow their kids to run around with no supervision. I would definitely recommend keeping an eye on the child you are with when they are playing. The food is nothing special, but for kids it's pretty standard pizza and fries. There's usually one person working the front desk, so it might take a minute for your order to be completed.

The aquarium offers tide pools where you can interact with the sea life. There are many spaces to observe sea creatures, but keep in mind that the aquarium is housed inside two separate buildings that are adjacent to one another. If you went into one side and did not know there is another part with more sea life, you would really miss the entire experience. I thoroughly enjoyed myself at the aquarium, and I recommend it as part of your to-do list when you visit Seattle.

It was very family-friendly, and our kids had a blast exploring all the exhibits. My only real complaint was the price. While we enjoyed our visit, it felt a bit overpriced for what was offered. After seeing everything once, I don't think it's something we'd do again. That said, if you're in the area and have the opportunity, I would still recommend visiting at least once. It's a fun outing for families, especially if you have young children.

It is behind, in the back of the property, and has lots of playground equipment, but it's a bit secluded and harder to access by walking to it. It's not better than other family friendly park & rec's in California, but maybe for Seattle it's considered above average. It's the best I've experienced in Seattle, which isn't saying much 'tho. I'd still recommend this for toddlers 'tho.
