My kids and I have this quarterly ritual. We visit the Pacific Science Center. We find that there is always something to discover and that they update their exhibits frequently, each one more interesting than the previous. Great fun place that's also educational and a nice breather from the malls.

The museum of flight is an amazing, fascinating place to spend a day - or a few hours. They have displays on all stages of aviation - starting with the Wright Brothers in Kitty Hawk, through the present day and even a special section regarding space flight. My personal favorite is walking through Air Force One - and seeing Jackie O's famous bathroom that she designed. It's not a huge deal by today's standards, but pretty it's amazing to be able to explore the actual aircraft that carried Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy and Nixon on official business.

I?ve done harbor cruises, locks cruises, the water taxi (from west Seattle to downtown), a Christmas cruise, parties, etc. all on Argosy, every one has been excellent. Boats are impeccably clean and comfortable. Staff are so friendly and will really knock themselves out for you. Events are reasonably priced for what you get (a boat + crew!). The boats have bars on them that are well stocked (for a boat) ? and the staff really want everyone to have a fun time, but are committed to safety above all else (don?t mess with them ? they WILL turn that boat around and take you back). I highly recommend all of their tours and services, great company.

We took the locks cruise during sunset. Seeing the city as well as the mountains at twilight made it worth every penny (it is fairly expensive). This was a birthday gift so I guess its easy for me to say but I wouldn't regret paying for it. The trip was so romantic and beautiful.
The tour guides were pretty informative and the crew was friendly. I think its great for both tourists and locals. You learn a little bit of trivia and if you are new to the area a lot about the different neighborhoods of Seattle. It gives you a good sense of the city. But besides all that, its just fun to go out on a boat trip once in a while and see the salmon jump! :)

If you've never been on Seattle underground tour, you're missing out! This is a fascinating little slice of Seattle's history that many people don't even know about. I've been several times - I think this is a must for out of town visitors - and as a resident, I always enjoy it as well! The tour guides are hysterical - and knowledgable, and they make the tour interesting and fun. This is not suitable for young children - or anyone who can't manage many, steep stairs.

I work here taking pictures of the people that go on the ride. I love ALL the captains, there a bunch of fun and really love what they do. The office/ticket booth people are really great as well! It really is a fun ride to go on even if you live here! The ride is 90 minutes and costs about $25 per person. It goes ALL over Seattle! If you do go try and pre buy the tickets because there usually sold out for the whole day by like 4 and GET THERE A HALF HOUR EARLY!!!!!! The seating is first come first serve and if you go with a group of 3+ and are the last to arrive chances are you won't get to sit together. They try and make it soooo clear to people but there is always the rude group that get there 5 min. after they loaded the duck and complain to everyone that they can't sit together. It really is a great tour though and if you do go make sure to sit in the middle because the back can be a little bumpy and the front although its the warmest part, you can miss stuff a little easier because it does go by kind of fast sometimes. This has been voted one of the things you MUST do in Seattle!

Riding a ferry is one of my favorite "tourist" things to do in Seattle. This ferry is one of the best. The length of the trip is perfect. The views are great. Walk on, enjoy the trip. Poke around the island town, get back on and be back in the city - a great diversion!

Come give this place a visit. Both are located at the Science Center and are basically neighbors as the walk to each theater takes about 2 minutes. Both have huge screens and comfortable seats. The seats in the Boeing Imax theater are very plush and provide a great experience. The Eames are little bit hard, but that will prevent you from falling asleep. When you find a movie you like come here and watch it, it's fairly cheap!

I work for Adventure Travel Co. and noticed that we have comments under "Student Travel Experts". This is a slogan advertised in the Seattle Times. The actual name of our business is "Adventure Travel Company". You might notice the same address listed.
