Conveniently located at the Seattle Center, the Pacific Science Center was created to educate people of all ages about nature, science, and the environment. There are hundreds of hands-on exhibits covering an incredible range of topics, and kids can create their own inventions in the Tinker Tank, learn about physics and electricity on the Science Playground, and see rare animals in the Living Exhibits.

If your kids love butterflies, the tropical butterfly house is well worth a visit as well. There are also a handful of immersive VR experiences, and other high-tech attractions include a massive Laser Dome theater, a planetarium, and two IMAX theaters.
