Sightseeing
Experience Music Project
EMP is a one-of-a-kind music museum combining interactive and interpretive exhibits to tell the story of the creative, innovative and rebellious expression that defines American popular music. Featuring a world-class collection of artifacts, unique architecture by Frank O. Gehry, state-of-the-art technology, exciting interactive presentations, and a dynamic ride-like attraction, EMP will encourage visitors of all ages and backgrounds to experience the power and joy of music in its many forms.
Pike Place Market
More than a one-time sightseeing destination, Pike Place Market has an indescribable energy that attracts natives and visitors alike. Multiple connected levels of the market feature an array of restaurants, specialty food shops, and novelty, antique and clothing stores.
Pioneer Square
The quaint brick buildings found here were built atop what remained of the business district after the great fire of 1889. Browsing through the district's bookstores, galleries and specialty shops can easily occupy an afternoon. At night, Pioneer Square becomes the scene for live blues, jazz, rock and comedy acts.
Safeco Field
This is the new home to the Seattle Mariners, with retractable roof for open-air seating. Go behind the scenes at one of Major League Baseball’s most amazing ballparks. Safeco Field is the extraordinary home of the Seattle Mariners. Guests are treated to a 19.59-acre outdoor baseball park with real grass and a retractable roof. Stunning views of the Olympic Mountains and downtown Seattle are as exciting as the action on the field. Tour one of the premier baseball facilities ever built, including areas of the ballpark that are usually restricted from the public: press box, luxury suites, field, dugout, and visitors’ clubhouse. Cameras are welcome. All areas are subject to availability depending on activities within the ballpark. The one-hour tour covers approximately one mile of walking distance.
Seattle Center
Developed from the facilities of the Seattle World's Fair in 1962, the Seattle Center is still a favorite for natives and visitors. Situated on a landscaped 74-acre campus in the heart of Seattle, its 10 facilities house 30 halls, Key Arena, Mercer Arena, the Opera House, the Seattle Children's Museum, and about 40 retail and food outlets. Towering over the center is the city's most famous attraction, the 605-foot Space Needle.
Waterfront
Seattle's waterfront is a hive of activity and sights. Rows of boats, fishing piers, the Seattle Aquarium, shops and restaurants fill the docks along Alaskan Way. A ride on the Waterfront Street Car is a fun way to travel between the International District, Pioneer Square and the many stops along the waterfront. You can also view the scenery from a horse-drawn carriage. Sea Aquarium - Meet Alki, the sea otter pup born at the Aquarium. Walk under the water in a glass dome as bluntnose sixgill sharks and other Elliott Bay creatures swim all around you. Touch a sea anemone. Learn about the lives of salmon at the world's first aquarium-based salmon ladder. Marvel at the impossibly bright-colored coral reef fish. And don't forget to wave to the giant Pacific octopus
Space Needle
Change your perspective dramatically in just forty-one seconds. That’s the time it takes for the Space Needle’s elevator to propel you 520 feet to the panoramic O Deck, where you’ll be met with stunning views of Seattle’s natural wonders—snow-capped Mt. Rainier to the south, the Cascade Mountains to the east and the majestic Olympic range to the west. Float planes gently alight on sparkling Lake Union. Ferries, cruise lines and cargo ships cross Elliott Bay.
The magnification power of the complimentary Swarovski telescopes lets you pick out a friend in the stands at Safeco Field more than two miles away. Sip a mocha double-tall from the snack bar or make reservations at SkyCity, unique fine dining that rises above the rest.
