Very friendly staff. Helped my fiancé and I get some photos together. My only complaint was the lighting was very "cool" so I definitely manipulated the colors of mine but in the end was very happy with my experience. The culture is really cool, other museum goers were very courteous, not walking through your photos, jump up, get your photo and move along or come back later. Lets keep this kind of culture here. And the staff didn't look at me crazy when I kept changing shirts and what not so just depends on how serious you want to take it. My only tip, if you have a selfie bar I would highly encourage you bring it. read more

I was so excited for this place to open. It ended up being much smaller than I thought. They have 2 floors; first floor was smaller than the second. The backdrops are actually right next to each other, so when taking photos you gotta make sure that the frame doesn't include the backdrops of the others. It's a really fun place to take silly pictures at. I didn't spend more than an hour there. Anything over that is a little bit excessive. Now that I've gone there I don't think I would come back again. It's kind of expensive just for a place to take pictures at IMO, but still a fun experience nonetheless. I liked how they had selfie ring lights on the floor so we can make sure to get that perfect lighting. But it would've been useful if they also had the phone holders attached so we wouldn't go through the hassle of asking other people for photos. I asked someone to take a photo for my boyfriend and I and it ended up being horrible lol. read more

Seattle selfie museum has two floors full of many instagrammable areas. There's at least 6-7 spots per floor and there's an assortment of colors and backdrops to choose from. The workers are also super nice and willing to help take photos when asked. On the website it says one might spend thirty minutes or a hour with family, but I feel like you can definitely stay here for a hour and half easily. Definitely come check it out in your spare time! read more

To cut to the chase, the overall consensus is that this is a fun time activity to do at least once. To break it down, it's a bit spendy per person, but if you really want some photos, it's less than a portrait package at any mall photo shop, and you can keep taking a photo until you get the one you want. The space is not huge. It's split up in two stories, and the back drops are all fit side by side with approximately a dozen on each floor. They have tripods/selfie lights at almost each backdrop, but you are allowed to bring your own selfie sticks and tripods. It's possible that at some time they may change/update the backdrops/props, but until they do, I couldn't see paying the admittance to keep going back for practically the same photos. Even though they call themselves a museum, they do not participate in the Seattle first Thursdays or free days. They don't offer a discounted rate for timeslots that they haven't booked for the day, so same entry price if you reserve online or walk up. Their location is down the alley from the gum wall. If you have someone in your group who is physically challenged, you might want to scope out the best route for your group. Some navigation gets screwed up and will take you to the front entry of Pike Place Market on the upper street level of Pike, and the Selfie Museum address is on Union. Because it's actually on the alley, the primo spot is down on Western and Union where there is some street parking right by the entrance. If you are on the upper level, it's a little easier to get there by going through the market entrance of 1st Avenue where Eighth Generation and Pasta Casalinga are located because there is an elevator in that area that goes down to the alley level where you can then walk down the alley not to far to the entrance of the museum. I don't believe the museum had an elevator to their second floor. There is a flight of stairs to navigate. You don't really get instruction, so if you're not already a selfie guru, you might want to prepare on the basics of taking selfies and using tripods and selfie lights with your phone. It's a fun time if you like taking photos, and if you're with the right person or group. read more

What a great concept! You can buy tickets online (or at the door) but it's nice because you can see how many are available to know, possibly, how crowded it might be. ADMISSION: Ages 0-4: Free Ages 5-12: $22 Adults weekday: $29 Adults weekend: $34 HOURS: Sun-Thur: 12pm-8pm Fri-Sat: 11am-10pm I booked online for right when they open, at 12 (for Tuesday) which was easy. Since I brought my 2 year old, I figured it might be less crowded at this day/time combo, and I was right. We arrived a few minutes before 12 and they were very friendly and still let us in. They have two floors, each comprised of a bunch of "stations" that are creative and well lit for a fun photo shoot - whether that be with a friend or on your own. I highly recommend coming with somebody else as you'll get better photos. Since we came at opening and it wasn't busy there was no wait and only a small handful of people around with everybody moving from station to station. They encourage you to touch and be creative and they have ring lights at a lot of station so you can adjust the lighting to suit your photo. The staff even offer creative posing help, which I thought was really neat. It's located down from the gum wall in post alley and they have a good sign so it's very easy to find. We parked on the street on western and walked up. I highly recommend this for some fun and cute pictures, especially with kids. I will say that the two sets with angel wings have the wings situated for slightly taller people, so I would have looked silly because I'm too short (and squatting on a chair wouldn't look great either) but that's just short girl life. It would totally be a five star experience, but it is a pretty pricey entry fee. I do appreciate that kids under 4 are free, though. read more

This place is heaven for photographers and Instagramers! I had so much exploring the 2 floors with 25 backdrops of different pizzazz. The assortment of colors and themes left me in so much aweee. Definitely think of some poses beforehand so you know how to pose with each backdrop and aren't wasting time. Aka we ended up spending an hour and half here. The staff was so nice and offered to take our pics in the ball pit even though it was after closing. The location is ideal for exploring Seattle and is conveniently located a few steps down from the famous gum wall at the entrance where you see "Post Alley" glowing up. Highly recommend checking out this place! Thanks to Yelp Elite for giving us tickets to checkout this cool place. Side note: Totally missed the mirror room and I went through both floors. Where was it at? Plenty of street parking and garages available since its in the heart of Pike Place. read more

I was invited to experience the museum through yelp elite. The museum is two floors and both floors let you hang up your coat for better photos and the workers are willing to help take your photos. The floors are divided into sections with different backdrops for many mini photo areas. Some have props, others don't but every backdrop has additional lighting to make all your photos look good. Given the fact this is all about taking photos, the experience is really what you make it. I had fun being silly trying to get at least a handful of good photos. My favorite is likely either the sets with the ball pits or the banana swing. I don't think every background was really something I would want to have a picture with because I did skip some and those included all 3 wing backdrops. The mirror room is def cool and reminded me a lot of how one of the rooms in the digital art museum by teamlabs in Japan feels like. I can see that having fairly long lines if it's busy. Overall, it was fun and I think it's a pretty standard price for a place with this kind of concept. Personally not my favorite place version of a photo-driven museum but that's because I like a little bit more quirkiness in the attractions that trick eye or themed exhibits have. read more

Can't post the shots on Yelp before the gram but this place is amazing!!! All the installments have amazing design and lighting elements, I only wish I had taken more pictures! The staff were incredibly incredibly friendly and made sure that everything was going smoothly. Be in the know that there is two floors and the middle of the top floor has a moon room which you might miss if you don't notice the line for it. Also, make sure to bring your friends! Selfies alone don't do this place justice! read more

This was such a fun experience! I went with my friend and we had a great time posing with all the funny and cute props there. There were two floors of places you can take photos at, and although relatively small we still spent a solid hour there. They provide ring lights to truly live out that influencer life, and not going to lie, they did make the photos turn out better. Definitely check it out and you'll end up with some cute photos! read more

I am a photographer and I specialize in creative portraits, I went to the selfie museum with a model to check it out and I was pretty impressed with the layout, not one ounce of space wasn't being utilized it was pretty awesome. There was countless rooms/spaces with different themes, they all had lighting as well. We had a blast, I highly recommended this spot for photographers and people who just use their phones and want to go have a good time. We showed up a few hours before they closed and we didn't get to shoot in every spot so if you want to experience the whole museum give yourselves at least 3 hours! 10/10 read more

This place is so much fun!!! I highly recommend you dress up and go nuts taking fun photos. I'm so happy they finally have something like this here in Seattle. It's similar to the Museum of Ice Cream in San Francisco. I love that they had 25 different back drops to choose from and provided lighting in most of them. It's hard to actually take a selfie so definitely bring a friend who likes taking photos or ask one of the friendly museum attendants. There are two levels to go through and they have coat check. I saw some people bringing cats and cute little dogs which was ridiculously cute. Paid Parking is easy on the street or at the Pike Place Market Garage. I would allocate an hour and a half to go through the whole museum. read more

It was fun to get a couple good pictures, but that's really all there is to it. This isn't really a "museum", it's more of a studio with a few backdrops. And it was a little underwhelming. The lighting was not good, or nonexistent for some of the backdrops. I was expecting a little more for how pricey the admission is. I got a couple good pictures out of my visit, but I'm sure I wouldn't return. When you go, make sure you go with someone that can take good pictures for you to get the best bang out of your buck. read more

What an absolute dream! I've seen this place all over social media and have been so eager to stop by. I finally was able to book a full hour appointment with a friend of mine. We had such a great time and couldn't wipe the smiles off our faces the whole day! What an experience, I'm not going to spoil much you just HAVE to stop by! Customer service was 10/10 and they even took hundreds of pictures for us!! read more

This is the ultimate place for having a photo shoot with your friends. It's a cute, small, fun place to explore your creativity when it comes to modeling and taking photographs of either your friends or yourself. They have tons of rooms where you can choose from and everything is super unique! We had to buy our tickets in advance, it is limited 1 hour per person though so if you decide to take your sweet time I recommend getting another hour just like what my friends and I did. I highly recommend wearing plain outfits, since some rooms have lots of patterns in them. A good black or white outfit would definitely work. read more

Went there as a family this past week - I will say it is definitely not worth the high ticket cost. Family of 4 for $169 and they really only offer 2 rooms to take selfies...we were done within 30 minutes. How is this more expensive than the amazing Seattle Museum of Pop where we spent hours with their interactive experiences and excellent historical displays. Quite a contrast and I would say...take your own selfies and add your own background for free read more

Cute place we found to explore with our kids while visiting. Definitely different ways you can pose with each set up read more

There are a couple handfuls of backgrounds that you are able to take your selfies at. Each area is about 10x10. Check out their website for images to give yourself an idea of the poses that you want to create. They allow you as much time as you want, so be prepared to utilize that. Be sure to open the few doors I'm the areas- there are 2 rooms that aren't too noticeable to get to. I've rated it a 4 because I feel it's overpriced. read more

We had experienced the Miami Selfie Museum a week before so very excited about Seattle but it was pretty disappointing compared. Staff was rude and was walking around on their phones and bottle of Windex?? Is that COVID cleaning? Backdrops were crammed together. Door was off of the dryer which I didn't understand but to avoid eye rolling... I didn't ask. I cannot justify the cost at this location. read more

There are around 20 different sections to take pictures in and lots of color schemes. I would recommend coming with a friend to get great shots of most of the areas, as it's impossible to get the full experience in each photo with a selfie. Expect to spend at least an hour and don't forget to go upstairs. This was a fun experience, however I don't think I would ever pay $34 just to take some photos. read more

I had a great time. Only a few customers are allowed during the same time slot. However, I hope there are more interesting/fun backgrounds.

The place is great, after a misunderstanding at the start of our time we ended up mostly enjoying our time. I think they should let people inside in 5 minute increments, and have you go in an order to avoid lines. There are a few that are more popular than others and you end up in lines, the lines are not long... but you feel rushed with a line behind you and will be told to not take as long because there is a line (this did not happen to us, but to the people in front of us). I get everyone should get a turn but that can easily be accomplished by having people go in some kind of order. read more

2/22/20 - updated 1 star to 5 stars with an updated review: Update: Well deserved 5 stars to Alex who emailed me from email handle seattleselfiemuseum@gmail.com (same email contact as this business' website)! Alex jumped right on it 3 hours after I posted my review here. He immediately offered an accommodation to my group for free entry (no weekend day visit though). Although, the accommodation made can't be used on the weekends, I'm fine with it. I appreciate his business approach (or the power of Yelp). Nonetheless, thanks Alex. We get to go back, and this time bringing my 3 year old for some mindless and silly fun of taking silly photos. Original review: This place was so fun BUT Im 100% dissatisfied by the person at the front who checked in our small group for a ladies night out. We purchased tickets for 2/20 7pm. It wasn't communicated to us at all of the ADDITIONAL "installations" up the stairs you see when you enter. I had to make sitter arrangement for this experience I didn't get to fully enjoy. read more
