This was such an adorable little photo op in Seattle! Absolutely free, it was a bit out of our way, but we stopped by on our way back to SeaTac airport as we were headed home. The hat and boots are located on this fun childrens playground and while the boots picture went right up on intagram, the hat is generally looking a little worse for wear and obviously needs some work on it's brim. A definite drop by if you're in the area sightseeing!

Thank you to Roadside America for leading me to this little (not so little) hidden gem. If you didn't know by now, I am OBSESSED with oddities and all things GIANT (That's what she said) --- so of course, when I saw this online I knew I HAD TO check it out! Just FYI; it's moved from it's original spot and has been given a much needed makeover. It's located in a neighborhood park - Oxbow Park. You'll be able to see the Boots from a few blocks away - so it's sorta hard to miss when you're in the neighborhood. Once there, street parking isn't hard to find - especially if you're just there to take pics. Quick in and out. We went during a weekday so it wasn't crowded at all. The boots were super easy to climb on which - of course, I did :) All in all, a nice quick stop for what could be an awesome photo-op not a lot of people know about. Just sayin'

I took some out of town visitors here for a cute 10 minute photo op. I found out about this place from searching weird things you can find on road trips. Apparently the hat and boots used to be restrooms. It's easy to find and next to a community garden. You can find lots of free street parking as it's in a residential area. I wish Seattle had more quirky huge statues.

Who couldn't love Oxbow Park? Like a chunk of the Southwest that landed in Georgetown, the giant cowboy boots and hat are unforgettable. Brightly painted and well maintained, they're actually visible from a few blocks away. The park also has a children's playground, a P-patch, benches, and lots of lovely grass to lay in. I'll definitely be taking more out-of-towners here to show them one of the strangest sites in town. Watch out Texas, Washingtonians like big, weird stuff too!

I'm a huge fan of roadside attractions, so, of course I loved this place. Very cool photo op if you're in the area. Like others have said, the park is small, so it's really just a quick stop. It would be an easy stop on the way to or from SeaTac if you have a car. The community garden was nice too. Even though it's fall, we still saw some flowers and a nice little pumpkin patch too.

As one of Seattle's most iconic structures (), this place is super random. The park is quaint and the community garden has gorgeous flowers. The hat and boots themselves are merely a photo op! I enjoyed them, being a country girl at heart!

If you're in the area you should stop by this place. It's a simple and free to-go-to landmark. It's at a local park with a playground. Parking is free. You'd spend 10 minutes top here.

Pocket park with the cool vintage Hat 'n Boots and Georgetown Pea Patch. There are several areas that would be awesome for a picnic and if you need to get out of the rain there is a large space under the Cowboy Hat. This was my first visit and it was nice to have the park mostly to myself on this breezy cloudy January day. I bet it's much busier during the summer when kids are out of school.

Some big boots!

Ok, I'm giving this place 5 stars because it's just so odd and pretty cool! Big ass mismatched boots and hat?! A friend and myself road tripped from California to Seattle and heard about Hat N Boots from a local. We checked it out while enjoying the city and I'll say it really is a mist see!

See all

Historic sight, worth a visit if you're in the area. Fun playground for kids. Vegetable garden for locals.

Seattle's best thing, especially given the destruction of Twin Teepees and the removal of the Bubbleator.

5-stars for the Hat and Boots is easy. Don't they need money or whatever? I will send some...looking into it now. So worth it. Love.

I just saw hat and boots for the first time today. I have lived in Seattle my whole life. Guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

Fremont

A fun experience, a bit off the beaten path in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle…read more We ventured from downtown to check out the troll. Very easy access via a city bus route. After a short stroll down a well-designed dirt path, we found the giant troll. The troll is great for photos and has a sign that describes the history of the troll. My kids enjoyed climbing around the area, too. Facing the opposite direction from the troll is a very cool bridge that creates some awesome cathedral-like architecture. There is lots to do in Fremont, and even though the troll is kind of a one-and-done deal, it's worth checking out simply to explore the rest of the neighborhood and awesome surrounding businesses. Enjoy your troll hunt!

A visit to the Fremont Troll under the Aurora Bridge is a fun and quirky Seattle stop. Sculpted in…read more1990 by four artists after a competition launched by the Fremont Arts Council to help combat the garbage and clutter that had been collecting under bridges, the troll has become one of the city's most iconic public art pieces. It's a great destination to bring out-of-town visitors--like me--to check out another troll! As a fan of the whimsical trolls created by Thomas Dambo, this was a must-see. Street parking is available nearby, making it an easy stop while exploring the neighborhood. I'd personally recommend not climbing on the troll due to safety concerns, although many people were doing so when we visited. Either way, it's a unique photo opportunity and a classic Seattle experience.

We timed it for a half-hour prior to sunset and wish we'd made it an hour before since it was a wait at times to capture photos due to so many people. The views were incredible and very enjoyable to walk the entire outer deck perimeter and then go inside to the lounge. The interior space was exciting to see clear glass floors with views of the gears working to rotate the outer lounge. It was a disconcerting feeling to walk on the glass, but definitely a memorable experience. We easily wandered around the observatory for at least an hour. Would have liked to maybe grab a drink and sat for a while, but it was fairly crowded. There is also a restaurant space if visitors want a dining experience with a fantastic view.

If you're thinking about going to Sky. View or the Space Needle for the view, I highly recommend…read moreSky View. I (unfortunately) paid $24 for parking right in the Columbia Center although there is street parking and other lots near/around Columbia Center. When I came around 4:30pm on a weekday, the building was dead - the food court was all closed. After scanning your ticket, you get in the elevator that takes you to the 73rd floor. Everything is indoors and you get a 360 view of the PNW. It's great if you're able to catch the sunset on a cloud free day. If you get the cafe voucher, you can combine them together to spend on food, drinks, or souvenirs. The space is a little dated but the views are worth it. Overall, a better option for PNW views than the Space Needle however there's no outdoor area.
