The all new SkyCity Restaurant at the Space Needle is the perfect place to celebrate any special occassion.
Paul Allen's Experience Music Project is Seattle's newest attraction. Visiting EMP will be an experience unlike any other; a unique synthesis of sound and sight, form and content, mind and body, place and purpose. Lear about the design of the innovative building, upcoming exhibits and events, as well as educational programs, lectures and workshops.
Home of the Seattle Mariners, Safeco Field offers ballpark tours, an exciting behind-the-scenes tour that departs ruglarly from the Safeco Filed Store allowing you to visit ballpark areas that are normall off-limits. See the Visitors' Clubhouse, Press Box, Luxury Suites, the Dugouts and more.
The Pacific Science Center sports featured exhibits that change throughout the year.

The Seattle Center Monorail is the fast, fun and convenient link to downtown and the Seattle Center. Glide into Seattle Center in just two minutes on the world's first full-scale monorail system.
The Seattle Art Museum is the city's cultural landmark. Located between the Pike Place Market and Pioneer Square in the heart of the city, SAM is internationally known for its exhibits of Asian, African, and Northwest Coast Native American art, in addition to unique contemporary art.
Experience the Seattle Aquarium - your window to Puget Sound and beyond. See otters, fur seals and more than 380 species of fish, invertebrates, birds and marine mammals. Feel as though you are walking underwater in the Dome. Touch tidepool creatures in the Discovery Lab and more...
Visit Seattle's Museum of Flight in the historic "Red Barn," birthplace to The Boeing Company and relive flight's greatest trials and triumphs up to the brink of WWII. In the steel and glass Great Gallery, the history of aviation soars past, with more than 20 full-size aircraft flying in formation six stories above you. Located on Boeing Field, 10 minutes south of Downtown Seattle.
Seattle's most unusual attraction is the Underground Tour. It explores turn-of-the-century storefronts and subterranean sidewalks. Learn about Seattle's colorful past; how Seattle's Founding Fathers' squabbling led to the complicated street system and how a devastating fire allowed the city to solve its unique plumbing problems which, coincidently, created the underground. The hour-and-a-half tour starts in a restored 1890's public house and continues along the sidewalks of Pioneer Square and into the areas below that have been abandoned since 1907.
