2011 | Best Kids' Thrill

Until someone gets injured (at which point access will be forbidden forever, because that's how America does things), the Seattle Center International Fountain will be the best spot to watch kids run around, squeal like a piccolo crossed with a jet engine, yell "Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! Watch! Watch me! Mom! Mom! Look! Mom! Mom! Mom! Look at me! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom!", and just generally act unself-consciously goofy as only kids can. Since 1995, the fountain and its surrounding lawn have bec... More »

Who can not like a place the contains the Space Needle, wild weekend events and ethnic happenings, the science center, the opera house, and several places for theater. Families walking around laughing and playing. I even enjoy the aging carnival tides as do my grandchildren.

Seattle Center has always been a part of my family. We love the Fun Forest and pacific science center. I wish that the festivals were as numerous and fun as they were through the mid 1990's. A great outing for the whole family.

I love the Seattle Center anytime of year. Even if there isn't an event going on its wonderful to stroll through. So ready for the concerts and people dancing in the International fountain.
