Museum of Pop Culture
The Museum of Pop Culture is one of the best places to spend your time in Seattle. Designed by Frank Gehry and commissioned by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, the museum is a great place to get a taste of pop culture. The building, shaped like a smashed guitar, contains more than 100,000 pieces from the history of pop culture. You can see everything from Janis Joplin's floral bell-bottoms to Elvis Presley's leather jacket. The museum also features a 5,384-square-foot Sky Church, where concerts are held.
The Museum of Pop Culture is a great place to take your family. The museum offers fun exhibits centered around movies, music, games, and everyday items that were influenced by pop culture. The museum is also easily accessible by monorail.
Pike Place Market
Pike Place Market in Seattle, Washington, is a world-famous public market featuring 200 artists and makers selling their wares. You can browse the endless rows of flower stalls or visit more offbeat shops filled with retro pop culture paraphernalia and antique posters. In the lower arcade level, you can even purchase lightsabers.
One of the most fun ways to spend a morning at Pike Place Market is to visit it early in the morning. The market is open from 8 a.m. to 3 pm, and in summertime, it is open throughout the day.
Pacific Science Center
There are many ways to experience the Pacific Science Center, and the interactive exhibits will captivate you. This museum offers a variety of interactive activities, including augmented reality and virtual reality experiences. You can also watch a movie in the IMAX theater. The museum is also a great place to learn about various science subjects, such as chemistry.
Those looking for an educational activity can take advantage of the many STEM workshops offered by the museum. There are also discounts for school groups and educators. You will need to show an ID to purchase a ticket, but there are also free days where you can enter the museum for free.
Cherry blossoms
Seattle neighborhoods are full of cherry and plum trees, which blossom each spring. The blooming trees can be found in many parks and on the University of Washington campus. You can also find them in your front yard. While they may not be at their peak bloom, you can still enjoy their beauty.
Seattle is home to dozens of beautiful lakefront parks. One of the best is Green Lake Park, which is one of Seattle's most popular springtime strolling spots. Green Lake Park also has a 2.8-mile-long trail that's great for running, biking, and skating. Other great parks to visit to view cherry blossoms include Washington Park Arboretum, Mount Baker Park, and Seward Park. You can also see blooming sakura trees at Jefferson Park, which recently received dozens of cherry trees from the Japanese Cultural Festival Committee of Seattle.
Space Needle
One of the best things to do in Seattle is to visit the Space Needle. This is a tall building and is the city's most popular attraction. Also worth visiting is the Museum of Pop Culture, or MoPOP. It features exhibits on the history of popular culture.
If you love a view, the Space Needle is an amazing way to see the city. This iconic structure is 605 feet tall and has panoramic views of Seattle and the surrounding area.
