33 Things to Do in Seattle With Kids
Seattle Center
Enjoy an epic playground, kid-friendly museums, and city landmarks at a top attraction.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: +1 206 684 7200 | Website
There’s so much at the Seattle Center that’s great for kids! It’s one of the reasons Queen Anne is a good place for families to stay. Seattle Center has museums, a playground, a children’s theater, and more.
Take the Seattle Center Monorail from Westlake Center to get here. It’ll drop you off by the Museum of Pop Culture and the Seattle Space Needle. Kids will love to ride to the top of this stunning Seattle landmark where you can admire 360-degree views of the city.
Let kids play, climb, and swing at the epic Artists At Play Playground. Bring a swimsuit in the summer so they can run and splash in the International Fountain. When lunchtime comes around, head to the food court in the Seattle Center Armory to cool off and enjoy lots of kid-friendly snacks.
Check out my Seattle Center Guide to get more insider tips on the best way to spend a day at this attraction.
Seattle Aquarium
Touch, admire, and learn about marine animals in Puget Sound.

Seattle Aquarium is a no-brainer when it comes to things to do in Seattle with kids. It’s right on the Seattle waterfront and has plenty of engaging exhibits.
The touch tanks are especially popular. These are filled with sea stars, anemones, sea cucumbers, and other critters you’ll find in Puget Sound. The staff gives daily presentations on some of the most popular animals like the harbor seals and sea otters. Come during feeding time to see the animals get active.
The Seattle Aquarium isn’t particularly big. You can count on getting in and out without feeling overwhelmed on a trip. There’s also a play area inside with toys and books if kids get restless.
Pacific Science Center
Play and learn with interactive STEM exhibits at this Seattle Center attraction.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: +1 206 443 2001 | Website | Hours: 10 am – 5 pm daily | Entrance: $22.95+, adults, $17.95+, youth (3-17), free, toddler (under 3)

The Tropical Butterfly House is one of the best exhibits for all ages. You can get up close to hundreds of beautiful butterflies, and they might even land on you!

The Woodland Park Zoo has a play space called the Zoomazium where kids can run wild after a day of exploring. Make sure to check the calendar for annual family-friendly events at the zoo. WildLanterns in the winter is always a big hit.

Museum of Flight
Learn about the city’s aviation history and step inside vintage planes at a huge museum.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: +1 206 764 5700 | Website | Hours: 10 am – 5 pm daily | Entrance: $26, adults, $18, youth (5-17), free, children 4 and under
The Museum of Flight is easily one of Seattle’s coolest museums. This air and space museum is huge, with dozens of planes displayed on the ground and suspended from the ceiling.
The Museum of Flight has amazing spacecraft displays and a lot of information on the history of aviation. However, there are two things kids will especially love.
The first is the chance to step inside a former Air Force One, the first Boeing 747, and a British Concorde. The second is the flight simulators. Both of these are surefire ways to engage the youngest and oldest of every group.
👉 Pro Tip: Go to the Museum of Flight on the first Thursday of the month to do Seattle on a budget. On First Thursdays, the flight museum (and several others) are free. Alternatively, you can reserve free tickets through the Seattle Public Library if you’re a resident!
Bainbridge Island
Take a trip to a fun city across the water on the ferry for an inexpensive outing.
📍 Google Maps | Website | Entrance: ferry tickets, $9.50, walk-on, $16.80+ (one-way), driving
Go to Bainbridge Island for a fun-filled family day trip! It’s simple to get there from Seattle. Just take a 30-minute ferry ride from the Bainbridge Island Ferry terminal.
You don’t need a car to experience the best of Bainbridge. I recommend walking on the ferry to cut down on expenses.
Spend time in Winslow if you visit without a car. Go to the Kids Discovery Museum, get ice cream from Mora Iced Creamery, or go sightseeing around the quaint town. Venture out to Fay Bainbridge Park or Battle Point Park for outdoor fun if you drive.
Family-Friendly Attractions

📍 Google Maps | Phone: +1 206 780 2500 | Website | Hours: 7 am – 9 pm daily | 👉 Book Your Ballard Locks Tour on Viator
The Ballard Locks are one of the best things to do in the Ballard neighborhood. The locks allow boats to pass from Lake Washington to Puget Sound, seamlessly moving from freshwater to saltwater.
Walk atop the locks and get a firsthand glimpse of how they work. Spot wildlife like seals, sea lions, and herons. Head to the Ballard Locks Fish Ladder to watch salmon jumping upstream on their way to spawn in early fall.
One of the best ways to experience the Ballard Locks is by going through them. Book a tour with Argosy Cruises to do this! The locks tour will take you from the Seattle waterfront to the locks on a 2-hour journey. You’ll learn about the city and see famous Seattle landmarks along the way.
Rainy Day Fun

The Seattle Children’s Museum is another spot in Seattle Center that kids will love. Toddlers and younger kids will have the most fun here. The exhibits and rooms are designed to engage their imaginations and get them playing.
Have fun in the theater room, which has costumes, props, and lighting controls. Kids also love the “exam room” and “veterinarian clinic” where they can play the role of a doctor or vet. A “grocery store” with everything from carts and registers to pretend food is another fun place to play. The Seattle Children’s Museum is the perfect rainy day spot with kids.
PlayDate SEA

The Burke Museum has taxidermy displays of various animals in addition to dinosaurs and fossils. There are interactive exhibits and spaces where kids can make crafts.
One of the best things about the museum is that it doubles as a lab. Peak through windows to watch scientists working on excavations, panning, cleaning up fossils, and more.

📍 Google Maps | Phone: +1 206 443 0807 | Website | Entrance: around $20+ per ticket

Music also features heavily in the MoPOP. Check out displays that detail Seattle’s grunge history. There are tributes to Nirvana, Jimi Hendrix, and Pearl Jam. There’s also a particularly eye-catching guitar sculpture.
Seattle Pinball Museum
Have an all-you-can-play pinball day at a funky International District museum.

There are snacks and drinks available (including local beers and ciders), so you can munch, sip and play for a while. The minimum age to play is 7, so this isn’t a great excursion for young children.
Green Lake Park
Swim, play sports, and ride bikes at this north Seattle park.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: +1 206 684 4075 | Website | Hours: dawn – dusk daily
Green Lake Park is one of the best Seattle parks for outdoor recreation. This large park surrounding the lake has plenty for sporty and active families.

Chihuly Garden and Glass is one of the most stunning museums in Seattle. This Seattle Center attraction is a great excursion for families with kids aged 10 and up. The trip to the glass museum will likely be too boring for younger ones (and stressful for adults trying to keep them from breaking the glass).
Chihuly Garden and Glass is right next to the Space Needle, which you’ll look right up at when you enter the glasshouse. Wander through to admire intricate glass sculptures. Interested in learning how it’s all made? There are live glassblowing demonstrations right in the museum!
A visit to the Chihuly Museum will appeal most to kids who enjoy art and don’t mind visiting a museum where there’s a lot to see, but not a lot to touch.

Hike pretty trails, explore tide pools, and visit a lighthouse at the largest city park.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: +1 206 386 4236 | Website | Hours: 4 am – 11:30 pm daily
The largest park in Seattle is Discovery Park. It’s over 500 acres and has miles of trails throughout. Discovery Park is a great place to go on a family hike without leaving the city. Forested trails take visitors to various parts of the park.
Head to the bluffs where you can soak up views over Puget Sound. Or take a trip down to the beach with pretty, windswept grasses, tide pools, and the historic West Point Lighthouse. You may spot seals, bald eagles, and other wildlife on your visit.
Spray Parks and Wading Pools
Cool off during a heatwave at several locations throughout Seattle.
Website | Hours: May – September, hours vary depending on the park
Seattle City Parks open up wading pools and spray parks during the summer. These are great places to bring kids to cool off and play during the heat. You’ll find them at various parks throughout the city, so you can choose one that’s close to you.
Bring some water toys, lots of snacks, and towels, and get ready for a great time.
Volunteer Park
Spend a day at a pretty, popular park on Capitol Hill.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: +1 206 684 4075 | Website | Hours: 6 am – 10 pm daily
Volunteer Park is one of Seattle’s prettiest parks in one of its best neighborhoods.
Hang out at the playground or splash around at the wading pool in the summer. Big shady trees and open fields throughout the park make it a good one for picnics. Go duck spotting in the ponds or climb the steps to the top of the Water Tower Observation Deck.
Volunteer Park is home to the Seattle Asian Art Museum and the Volunteer Park Conservatory. The museum is stunning, with tons of sculptures and artwork to admire. The conservatory is compact but filled with tropical, native, and desert plants. Come in December to see the space decked out in festive colors and a model train.
The Center for Wooden Boats
Book a free pea boat rental or take a free ride on the lake in one of the historic boats.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: +1 206 382 2628 | Website | Hours: 12 pm – 7 pm Wednesday-Friday, 10 am – 6 pm Saturday & Sunday, Closed Mondays & Tuesdays
The pea boat rental program at the Center for Wooden Boats is a great free activity for families. The boats can accommodate multiple kids and adults and are easy to rent online. Boat rentals fill up fast in the summer. Make sure you book something as soon as they open new time slots.
Check out the Sunday Public Sail if you’d rather let someone else direct the boat. These are completely free events that are open to the public. You’ll get a chance to ride on one of the Center’s historic boats. Hop on a yacht, schooner, steamboat, and more while a volunteer takes you on a tour around Lake Union.
Lincoln Park
Play at a forest park playground and swim at an outdoor heated pool.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: +1 206 684 4075 | Website | Hours: 4 am – 11:30 pm daily
One of my favorite parks in Seattle is Lincoln Park. This West Seattle park is spacious and pretty with two distinct parts to play.
Stay in the “forest part” of Lincoln Park for the playground. It’s large and shady, and there are a variety of play structures for kids of all ages and abilities. There’s also a zipline and a wading pool.
Down by the waterfront part of the park, you’ll find a long path that’s perfect for riding bikes and scooters. Explore the driftwood-laden shore and watch the ferries.
In the summer, the best place in Lincoln Park is Colman Pool. This free outdoor, heated, saltwater pool has a waterslide, diving boards, and lots of room to play.
Alki Beach Park
Spend a warm day playing at the beach.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: +1 206 684 4075 | Website | Hours: 4 am – 11:30 pm daily
Alki Beach is one of the best beaches in the city. Taking the King County Water Taxi from downtown is the most scenic way to get here. You’ll have views of the gorgeous Seattle skyline on the way over. Rent scooters to get down to the main strip of the beach once you arrive in West Seattle.
Alki Beach is a mostly sandy beach perfect for sunbathing and playing in the sand. There are volleyball courts, bonfire pits, and a path beside the beach for rollerblading, jogging, or biking. I suggest renting bikes or a surrey from Wheel Fun Rentals for a fun family ride.
