Maybe if you really need a place where you can take your 2 year old to ride around on a safe ride. But if you're over 7, and definitely if you're 10-18, you'll find this park stu-pid. There are no lines. There are no people. The ridekeepers are bored, and the rides outdated and little-kid like. If you must "amuse" yourself, enchanted village isn't too far, and is slightly less stu-pid.

Just walking through the Fun Forest Amusement Park at Seattle Center gives me the willies. The rides are old and outdated, there are rarely more than a few people there, and the people that operate the rides and concessions look like a work-release gang. On top of that, the rides are ridiculously expensive. My kids begged but I just couldn't bring myself to pay $2.50 or so apiece just so they could spin around on some dangerously antiquated ride. Just plain scary - avoid at all costs!

A climbing wall, rollercoaster simulator, lazer tag, bumper cars, carnival games, a small arcade, mini golf, and 8 other major attractions (my favorite is Wild River - very similar to the one at Disneyland) are all waiting to entertain you downtown at Seattle's Fun Forest. Located just under the Space Needle, you can't miss it! The rides are fun, and it's a great place to take family and friends who are visiting from out of town. It is best to visit in the summer when you can get ride bracelets for only $20.00 and you can use them for up to 9 hours of unlimited rides. Otherwise you won't get that deal, and the hours of operation in non-summer months are limited.

The Fun Forest Amusement Park at Seattle Center is greater than the sum of its parts. Taken one by one, the collection of rides here might be viewed as disappointing. However, together they make a fun destination in the shadow of the Space Needle. The dated 1960s vibe contributes a certain kitschiness to the park which is actually pretty appealing. Young kids especially will have a great time.
