Went to see the Terracotta Warriors exhibit at the Pacific Science Center about a week ago and really enjoyed the exhibit and would strongly recommend it! The exhibit was designed well and executed extraordinarily! So much to interest and appeal to visitors of all ages! And loved a trip to the Butterfly House afterwards. TerracottaWarriors will be open until 09/04/17.
A great place, a great learning experience and overall fun. My kids love the laser show, the highlight of the day. If you have a membership it’s free to see the laser shows and also faster to get in PSC, don’t have to wait in the line.
A great place to bring children to expose them to a variety of science topics; dinosaurs, space travel, the planets, earth events and numerous hands-on activities. For butterfly lovers there is a great tropical butterfly room.
We visited yesterday and one of the first things my son said to me this morning was "Mom I want to go back to the science place" we had a lovely visit. The butterfly room is always a magical experience and there was truly so much for kids to see and do and learn. Great place for enriching your kid's learning with hands on learning and experiences! I don't post my kids face publicly but I got the best picture of him with so much wonder (and a fair amount of sparkle ✨️) in his eyes 🤩 Thats the look a child makes when they're falling in love with learning.
Very fun place. Definitely take kids although it will take much longer to explore everything.
With two adults, it took us about two hours to see most everything.
If you’re from Washington, you actually get a discount on your admission fee, which is kind of nice.
A great mostly-interactive science museum. I especially liked the butterfly room and the space exhibits. There were a lot of other exhibits to try, including some of my favorite oldies. Recommended.
The Pacific Science Center has changed a lot since I was a kid, but they still have some great offerings you can certainly spend an afternoon exploring, not to mention the Laser Dome and IMAX Theatre there. Definitely be sure to check out the butterfly room. It's nice and warm during the fall and winter and seeing the butterflies is a treat.
Perfect place for kids to not only learn about science, but burn off some energy. A lot of exhibits are hands-on and interactive. The butterfly exhibit was probably the most unique thing for me as you are surrounded by live butterflies and seeing them up close. Expect to reasonably be here for 90-120 minutes in a visit.
We went to the Science Center as our day trip into Seattle and it is, hands down, the most enjoyable place I've been to in Seattle. They have a ton of small and large exhibits, a laser show, a planetarium, a tropical butterfly house, and a food court with a ton of enjoyable options!
We didn't go to a laser show, but we did visit the planetarium and butterfly house (along with all the exhibits!) and had a blast. I paid for four hours of parking thinking it would be more than enough and I was wrong because the time flew by. Would recommend 10/10. Shout out to Alec at the Planetarium and Ellis at the Butterfly house for being awesome folks!
We had dinner time so decided to visit since we had an affiliate astc passport program. It was a nice place for families. We didn’t go with our children but had a good time in the butterfly garden and laser show. It’s in a great location as well as there’s tons going on outside. Not as big as I expected and there were places that were out if service
We could have easily spent the whole day here, but we only set aside 4 hrs, including the laser light show to finish! The butterfly room, the salt water pool, so many interactive items! The tinker room caught me by surprise. I could've spent a cpl hours in just that one space. Bring snacks as there is only a drink vending machine. No concessions.
The laser dome shows are the highlight. Take the one with magic movies, it's actually Disney soundtrack on my visit. These are free but reserve early.
The exhibits area is relatively smaller compared to bigger Science centers, but theres still a lot to explore and interact (funny one was the dinosaur heads which you can actually move.)
And they have two Imax theatres. Didn't go to those as they are separately charged.
