Museums Places Map
Museums in Washington:
Chihuly Garden and Glass
Don’t miss the outdoor glass garden, especially around sunset. The lighting is stunning and all those colors pop like crazy!
I suggest buying your tickets online in advance to skip the long lines when you get there. It saved me tons of time, and I got in right away!
I recommend visiting on a weekday if you can. I went on a Saturday and it was super crowded. Weekdays seem much quieter and you can enjoy everything better!
Museum of Pop Culture
The Museum of Flight
I suggest wearing comfortable shoes because you'll do a lot of walking. I wore sandals and my feet were killing me by the end.
Check out the Boeing 747 tour if you can! It's like stepping into aviation history. I kinda rushed it, so I recommend taking your time here.
Pacific Science Center
Get there right when it opens at 10 AM. The lines for popular exhibits like the planetarium can get super long later in the day! I barely waited when I got there early.
Seattle Art Museum
Living Computers: Museum + Labs
Children's Museum
Don't forget to bring some snacks and drinks! There are cafe options, but they can be pricey, and you'd want a quick refuel for the kids.
I recommend budgeting a little extra time for the outdoor play area. It's a bit hidden but totally worth it for the kids to burn off some energy
