I paid for my ticket at a nearby ticket booth. There was a short line at the door, a short pre-show presentation in a separate room and then I was seated and strapped into a seat in a relatively small four row (?) theater. At first, I was concerned that I couldn't see the full screen from my seat. Then my seat lifted as the experience began for a breathtaking view. I was flying behind an eagle over many of the various natural highlights of Washington with a couple of scary and fun close encounters with other flying objects. I also experienced the mist of a waterfall and the smell of a field of flowers. It was a great experience!

One thing that seemed to be missing during our ride was the scent effects, which would have added even more to the 4D experience. As a visitor, I also wish they would call out the locations shown during show maybe in pre-show or throughout the ride. Washington has some incredible scenery, and knowing where I was "flying" would have had me adding places to my must-visit list. Still a fun attraction and definitely worth experiencing while visiting Seattle.

Definitely a spot for culture. The area contains the Space Needle, Pacific Science Center, Climate Pledge Arena, Museum of Pop Culture and McCaw Hall (hosting both the opera and ballet). This is also where you will find a stop for the monorail. Don't forget the Armory either. Most notably, this area served as the World's Fair site. What us out-of-towners don't know about this place is that David Denny, founder of Seattle, donated the land with a stipulation that it be of "public use forever." You can spend the day here and never get tired of what is around you. There area loads to see and just when you think you are done, nope. I had my camera with me and was able to fill my memory card with hundreds of pictures. Quite the tranquil place. Even if there might be tons of people milling about.

Great stop for any visitors or locals!…read more The cabin had AC just in case you go on a scorching hot Seattle day because that's what we did. The line can get long, but it moves fast. That area is such a tourist trap, but it's a must see and a must do when visiting greater Seattle and as a local obviously I like to go down there and explore my city too! As you can see, my pictures reflect the one-of-a-kind city skyscape with the space needle, lumen, and T-Mobile Park (Seahawks & mariners) Port Seattle, Alki Beach, the gorgeous Puget Sound: Resurrection Bay, and off to the distance more islands which I believe is Bainbridge? We didn't see any Sealife, ton of seagulls but it's not uncommon to see Harbor seals and porous pod, and if you're really lucky orcas!

I can't imagine going on a hot day. We did it when it was cloudy, even so no airflow. If you get really close to the door, you can kind of feel a tiny amount air and breathe. By the end it was so stuffy we were sweating with 4 adults and a toddler. No alcohol if riding with a kid or underage person. It was okay. Do it if you want to cross off your touristy list, otherwise, the view from the ferry to Bainbridge is better!

I honestly can't recommend this place enough. I was completely blown away…read more From the moment we walked in, the level of professionalism and cleanliness stood out, especially for a kids' arcade and activity center. Everything felt well run and thoughtfully managed. One thing that really impressed me as a parent was the staff member monitoring the entrance and exit. He was incredibly attentive. He recognized us, noticed our child, and was clearly keeping track of who was coming and going. Of course, you should always watch your own kids, but having someone that alert adds a huge layer of peace of mind. We used a Groupon, and if you have ever used one, you know it can sometimes be a hassle, but not here. The process was seamless. A staff member radioed ahead for us, and by the time we got to the snack counter, they already knew what to do. No waiting, no confusion. We were set up immediately and on our way. That level of coordination was impressive. Every game we tried was working perfectly, including VR games, which is rare in most arcades. Even smaller details, like all the basketballs being available at the Papa Shot machines, did not go unnoticed. The kids' drop ride was a huge hit with my daughter, and the claw machines, which guarantee a prize, were a fun bonus, especially as a way to end the visit on a high note. The prize center was also well balanced, with reasonable ticket costs and fun options. They had some great games too, like rhythm games and classics, that made it enjoyable for both kids and adults. The real surprise was the food. We ordered pizza expecting typical arcade food, but it exceeded expectations by a mile. It was soft, fresh, and genuinely delicious, easily better than what you would find at places like Chuck E. Cheese. The entire dining area was spotless, which is almost unheard of in venues like this. Tables were clean. Floors were clean. Everything felt cared for. The service continued to impress throughout. Our food came out quickly, and when we finished, the staff handled all the cleanup. We actually went out of our way to find cash just to leave a tip because the service deserved it. We originally came for the full experience, including batting cages, laser tag, go karts, and mini golf, but honestly, even before doing any of that, I can confidently say this place is incredibly well run. Based on everything we experienced, I have no doubt the rest will be just as great. If you are a parent looking for a fun, safe, and well managed place for your kids that you will actually enjoy too, this is it.

Be careful going to Family Fun Center. I used to really like this place, and hosted several…read morebirthday parties here. Over the years the technology they use doesn't seem to be keeping up, where things will glitch causing lots of time and effort to get the tickets earned reflected on your card. Luckily we took a picture of the ticket rings that were won at the claw machine prior to adding them onto the card, but even after that, it was still a big hassle where management seemed suspicious that we were trying to dupe them out of tickets that were earned properly. What was surprising is that they didn't even bring the staff member over that scanned the ticket rings initially to confirm she had added the tickets. After adjusting the tickets, my card account was still active on the board, so I went back and checked to make sure it was closed out properly to avoid any further ticket issues. I asked the original staff member if she remembers adding my tickets, and she said she did but we should be good now as this was a system glitch. I accepted the explanation and took that as issue closure. Later when we went to pick prizes, another "lead" employee approached me (wish I would've taken her name), and immediately accused me of being rude and aggressive towards the staff member that added my original tickets. As a lead, I would have expected her to ask me if there was any issues with the employee, instead of outright accusing the customer. I asked her to clarify what was taken as rude or threatening, as I never raised my voice or said anything out of line even though this issue took some time to resolve. She wouldn't give me any specifics but just warned me to not be rude. Instead of getting into any further back and forth with her, I decided to just pick a few prizes and leave. I found it very unprofessional for the lead to approach me in that manner, while the Manager Tabitha didn't step in, even being close by. If something was said that was perceived as rude, let's bring everyone together and hash it out. I can guarantee *God as my witness* that I never said anything offensive, threatening, or rude to any of the staff members. All I did was provide details and proof that there was a system glitch and the tickets that had previously been added were not on the card. At no point did I ever blame or fault anyone at FFC for this issue. Rich Yee, if you'd like to discuss this matter with me directly please reach out.

The Seattle Aquarium is located in the waterfront area where all the tourists activities are…read more Ticket prices start at $50 for daily entrance until 5pm. Children under 4 years old get free admission. There is food and beverages sold inside and accommodations for handicapped patrons. The exhibits have marine life from the native Pacific Northwest and the South Pacific, and the new Ocean Pavilion is really nice with all the tropical reefs. The touch tanks are also pretty cool and the little one's will love getting a chance to touch live marine life. The Aquarium consists of three buildings that are all connected by outdoor pathways and covered walkways. This is a great way to spend unlimited hours while visiting the waterfront in Seattle. Eventhough I didn't take any pictures inside, they do allow you to photograph whatever you choose inside.

The best area was the section where you can gently touch the starfish and sea cucumbers, etc. Definitely more for kids and maybe school trips as there were lots of kid friendly exhibits. Unfortunately, no star of the show here like how other aquariums have a giant whaleshark. Just a lot of smaller cute fish and seals. Some small birds and puffins too. I wouldn't recommend it when you can go to world famous aquariums for cheaper and spend the whole day there.

It is strangely addicting and just fun. And the beer prices are reasonable as well. Booking the court requires a phone call but staff are very friendly and they really work with you to get the right amount of court and time for your group and event. On the day of the event, you get assigned a referee who runs all the games and they are engaging, funny, and just great.

A short drive from my boyfriend's Aunt's house we got here when it opened which gave us ample time to check out the zoo before we flew out that day. One of the wonderful characteristics of this zoo that we loved was how easy it was to walk through the different areas. We certainly used the maps, the directional posts, and checked out our surroundings when we felt like we might be a little lost but it is certainly a lovely walkable zoo. Each pathway takes you though different exhibits and areas. We happened to be here on a field trip day so there were a bunch of groups out and about and several mom groups it seemed like as well. Some of the bigger exhibits had Zoo docents or staff near by to answer questions and help us to get closer to see some of the beautiful animals. We happened to get lucky on this visit because we got to see the Tiger, which apparently, doesn't come out much and we got to see baby lion cubs too! It got pretty loud in the area to see the cub but luckily one of the zoo staff kept the area from being too rowdy. Another great thing about this zoo was how sustainable and eco-friendly it is. We stepped into the cafeteria/concession area and we saw that there were no plastic bottles in sight. All drinks were in a can, even water! Love that!! We managed to make it through the whole zoo and left feeling as though it was one of the most integrative and interactive zoos we had been too. We loved walking through the different aviary exhibits where you're enclosed in it and walking through different birds. The Over head tunnels for the Tree Kangaroo and the red panda nearby. It was fun to walk through and be surrounded by part of the animal's exhibit rather than the exhibit be just a square space. Before we left we stopped at the giftshop to get something I could remember this visit by and I settled on the orange red panda tee. Ended up being the exact same shirt my sister got herself from this zoo several years ago!! Definitely check this zoo out when you're in Seattle! It's a gem!

The animals all appear to be happy and healthy within their habitats. Looking for a creative way to spend the day, I highly recommend Woodland Park Zoo!
