Tourist attractions
Space needle:
This is one of the most admired distinct structures of Seattle that looms as a fascinating highlight for tourists. Perched at the crown of Seattle Center, Space Needle is a 600 feet high structure that was built in 1962 for the World Exposition. It is a stunning location to view the spectacular vistas of the city’s neighborhoods comprising of undulating mountains and Elliot bay.
Go ahead and grab some sentimental Seattle mementos down the base from the gift shops. Relish your meals while dining at the Sky City, a rotating restaurant whose every seat provides soothing views. After a great meal, head above to gaze some great views at the observation deck, tucked at imposing heights of Space Needle in the Sky Q. Sky Q is a high-tech spot adorned with exciting kiosks equipped with high-resolution cameras and screens.
Seattle waterfront:
An enthralling retreat with several amazing but nasty tourist shops and the Alaskan Way Viaduct hovering above the head, are few namely attractive features of Seattle Waterfront. The most enticing amidst all are the scenic sights, the Bainbridge Island ferry ride leaving from Colman Dock and the famous summer nights at the Pier concerts which play at Sublime Pier 62/63. This enchanting spot also shelters the Seattle Aquarium and Odyssey Maritime Discovery Center. The old street car reverberates along the waterfront and the verdant beauty of Myrtle Edwards Park, takes away from the chaotic life of Northern rim.
Pacific Science Center:
Placed in the interiors of Seattle Center, Pacific Science Center bestows loads of entertainment and informative materials comprising of IMAX movies, laser shows, and the ever changing dynamic array such as dinosaurs, whales, robots and many more. The most attractive display that grabbed my eye-balls during my visit is a tropical butterfly house and an insect village. This makes a great spot for children as well as adults because both can have deep in-sights over informative materials. You can sip coffee in the indoors café. Children below the age of three are given free entrée.
Woodland Park Zoo:
Woodland park zoo is a highly-esteemed zoo. Located at a close distance from the downtown, the zoo is a spectacular wild retreat presenting an African savanna, an Asian elephant bird habitat and a tropical rain forest. Zoo’s noteworthy exhibits include the monitor dragons, butterflies, and miscellany of bugs and beasts. Anyone arriving in Seattle must surely make at this spot, it is a must watch. Carry a picnic box with yourself and enjoy it over the green gardens of Woodland Park. The neighboring Rose Gardens are an eye-candy; make sure you get there too.
Seattle Art Museum:
This is definitely a worth visit spot as it is reputed internationally for its premier collection of Asian, African and Native American art. The most applauded exhibits include the finesse collection of modern art created by Pacific Northwest artists. The permanent on-stay exhibit bestows views of 21,000 artistic pieces. Although lacking the collection of European arts, Seattle Art Museum enshrines an array of local art and splendid visiting exhibits. Seattle art museum sits at the centre of the downtown, close by the Seattle Waterfront and Pike Place Market.
