    Our group of 10 met some local relatives at the Armory for dinner. It was the perfect place to go for a large group spanning from 3 to 88 years old. Everyone could get something different, there was room for the littles to run around and it was spacious and uncrowded. There was even a place to get ice cream for dessert. None of the food was amazing and wouldn't be a draw by itself but the location is perfect - right in the middle of everything - and easily walkable. We had burgers, chopped cheese sandwich, crab fries, meat pies and lots of fish and chips and they were all fine. The staff was nice and the area looked pretty clean. It was a great spot for our large group.

    This armory use to store arm. But now is a food court, museum, activity center. The lower level is a children museum. The hallway has a miniature train set. It attracts a lot of children and adults. The hallway also has a stage for show and event. The side store mostly food vendors. It is interesting to see this museum.

    There was Winterfest performance and Winter Train & Village Display. The place was full of people trying to enjoy the singing carols and food hall. There were plenty of options to choose from. But my daughter and I decided to try Matt's Fish Basket. Plenty of sitting areas as well. It was such a nice place for family to hang out and enjoy food. There was Children Museum just one level below the food mall. Great for family.

    The armory is a larger building with restaurants, restrooms, and tourist information for people visiting Seattle. I've eaten at subway here. Subway sandwiches is well, an ok sandwich. There are other restaurants but I haven't tried them. Super expensive choices. I usually come in to use the restroom honestly. Super clean and warm. Anyone I have encountered has been friendly and nice. Loads of tables to sit and enjoy your food. I think there is a good fried fish spot. Maybe I'll try it next time I'm here. A good spot for a pit stop if you're visiting the Seattle center. SYOY.

    The interior of the Seattle Center Armory is huge with various shops and a large TV for everyone to chillax.

    + Convenient food court to take a brake amidst all the fun things to do at Seattle Center, such as boarding the Space Needle and getting lost in all the museums to name a few, or to beat the summer heat. + Pleasant ambience. Bustling commerce. Felt safe. + Very spacious interior. Plenty of room to find seating to eat. + A huge TV for everyone to watch. They had a soccer game on when I visited. + Plenty of public restrooms.

    A cool food hall amid all the tourist attractions like the Space Needle and the glass garden! I got a quick lunch here in between visits to attractions and got a teriyaki bowl, which was satisfying and the service was quick. Lots of options to choose from and lots of space and seating!

    All's well that ends well stage T center theater

    This is an event space and food court with a lot of options, which is in the area of a lot of tourist attractions. It's by the Space Needle and museums. It's open 7am - 8 pm daily. There are tickets for events for sale. Don't miss a performance of the Seattle Shakespeare Company, on the 1st floor. There's also a school and a shop in the building.

    After a tour of the Space Needle in Seattle, we found out that there's a fast food place at Seattle Center Armory. It's right next to the Space Needle and after several hours of enjoying the view from the Space Needle, you have to unwind and grab some food at this place. There's a hamburger joint, Mexican, coffee shop, etc. The price is just reasonable compared to the food they offer at Space Needle. If it's your first time at Space Needle and get hungry after, come down and walk across and you'll find Seattle Armory.

    Christmas fills the air! However, the music was way to loud! The live performers were good but the volume was annoying. The food options are varied, but I was surprised to see no ice cream sold. It was December and maybe it is different in the summer. Very clean and well maintained facilities! Enjoy!

    Going in to get my coffee.

    Cool spot! The inside looks nothing like the outside. The outside is like a standard building and the inside looks much more lively. They have a lot of different types of food which is cool. And if I was by myself, I'd walk around and find something. They had a Mod Pizza and we have one at home, so I wasn't interested. I didn't get to peruse because the grands were chomping to go outside to play, but I hadn't had any coffee so I went in. But the cursory glance didn't really impress me if I were to be honest. They may have a gem in there, but I didn't see it. It may reveal itself upon a second look. I did go to Starbucks and waited longer than I ever have for a coffee drink. Too long, as in can I cancel this and go somewhere else? But if in the area, I'd give it a crack again.

    A very nice food court, lots of options and plenty of space!! Located in the Seattle Center not far from the Space Needle, I have eaten here a few times. They have Starbucks, Subway, Tacos, Wings, Mod Pizza, along with some other places. When I came here, there was a huge TV screen set up that looked like some sort of seminar was going on. This place is very spacious. It's also a good place to warm up in on a cold day, that's what we did!!

    A lot of family choices here food and fun

    A great gathering place that is a multi use facility. Restaurants, restrooms, stage area, coffee, beer, sweets, there are a lot of choices. Service was reasonable for the few places I visited.

    This place is a good idea... however.... there is a large difference between the posted hours of operation and the actual open time. We came this morning at 9am to try to get coffee from Ceres (online said they open before 8) and they said they were opening at 9. Came back for dinner because the website said they were open till 9 PM. We came at 6 o'clock and some businesses were already closed and others were closing. The seller at the meat pie restaurant said their hours change daily based on volume. This is a spacious dining area and there weren't too many people here. My chicken meat pie with rosemary cream sauce was very good. Others in my party got the fish and chips from Matt's (overpriced and just ok) and MOD pizza which was a safe bet. Would recommend during mid day hours for a variety of options.

After walking around a bit we saw they had volleyball teams playing and offer swimming at the pool as well. We were able to take advantage of all they offer here for just $5 per person per day. You can also do a monthly pass for $24 but we are not from the area. As we are in a heat wVe, I am very much looking forward to swimming later this evening. This is a nice facility that offers much to the community and I am so glad we had a chance to check it out!

There is a day use fee but they offer punch cards for regular use. The gym is huge. Has upper seating area. It is 3 basketball courts they place baby gates between for multiple classes. Jazzercise is going on at one end while my daughter has volleyball at the other end. The coach struggles to talk over the music of that other class. It is carpeted as well. They have lots of kid classes available here. And there are some classroom areas, so things like Tai Chi can happen in a less loud environment, but it's not perfect. There is a walking track around the gym upstairs but it costs to walk ....$3. I like this place b/c they offer classes my kids want to try. Younger kids have plenty of sports leagues to enjoy. They have a gym and you can get a good workout here without joining a gym elsewhere. It's nice when the community center is clean and offers a lot. We enjoy utilizing this place. They do not charge extra for non city residents like most of the cities around here.

My daughter was too shy and scared to go to the instructor's place because even tho we were only several steps away from her, she ignored us. I could not change another class for her because I was told that it is considered refund and they could not refund me anything. But I would not dare to take my daughter to that cold class again to "try" as the front desk staff recommended us to do it. Perhaps some sort of racism, but it's fine, keep going your way.

You may run into someone you know from community and there's a nostalgia factor. This centralized gathering hub brings me back to camps and baggy pants and looney tunes shirts, breakdancing, Massive Monkey and free food. Every time I walk by the big hall by the entrance I am engulfed with memories of parties and food. I can smell the lumpia and pancit, barbacoa, Ezell's, Costco pizza, and home made ribs bought from Viet Wa and smoked. The ever lasting smell of Red Apple sides and Delite bakery empanadas and pastries further add to the memories. I remember randomly being invited to a Nigerian celebration and ate fufu balls, fish, and stews. Delicious! I appreciate the multigenerational care at Jefferson. It's a center where no one goes hungry, community looks after one another, and preschoolers to the ARC programs are supported. Yesler is a close second in Seattle for CC and Chinatown is third.
