"Fun place with so much to do"

Seattle Center is what Seattle is known for. Home of the Space Needle, the large intercity park offers so much in terms of entertainment, culture and relaxation. There are a few theatres, such as Intiman Theatre and McCaw Hall for plays and shows performed by local and traveling acting companies as well as the Pacific Northwest Ballet Company. Key Arena hosts concerts, sports and other events. The main building includes the Seattle Children's Museum and, across the way, the Seattle Children's Theatre. There's a football field and an amusement park with rides for the kids. The EMP (Experience Music Project) sits on the east side along 5th Avenue. Though the outside of the building is incredibly ugly, the inside offers interactive fun and a pretty nice bar. On the south side of Seattle Center, the Pacific Science Center and IMAX Theatre shows off some amazing and educational displays that change periodically throughout the year. In the center of Seattle Center, the large International Fountain sits in the middle of an outdoor area where you can sit and relax, listening to the music that plays along with the fountain. Covered walkways protect you from the sun and rain, and the Seattle Monorail offers a quick, inexpensive trip down 5th Avenue to Westlake Center's shopping downtown. There is so much local art around the center to look at and appreciate, as well as the green natural beauty that Seattle is famous for. And, of course, the Space Needle towers above it all, offering Seattlites and tourists sweeping 360 degree views of the city, mountains, Puget Sound and surrounding islands. (The revolving restaurant, though a novel idea, has historically served up some of Seattle's worst cuisine, so be warned). There are several parking garages around the Center, some on-street parking on the side streets and a very large open parking lot on the east side of 5th Avenue.

"How do I count the ways..."

I believe most people who visit Seattle never realize how much exciting stuff is surrounding the space needle. I am a firm believer that you have to see the space needle, but if you a local the entire center is a great treat. First the festivals: I love the Bite of Seattle, awesome food and it's almost always great weather, a must for locals. Bumbershoot is like Seattle’s Woodstock, great music of every variety and all around fun for 3 days. That said, my favorite year round attraction is the EMP (Experience Music Project) and SFM (Sci-fi museum). Technically their in the same building, but they are very different exhibits. The EMP is amazing for music fans, the SFM is equally awesome and if you’re an music jockey or all around geek like me, both are worth the time.

"Seattle center, loads of fun"

On Harrison Street in Seattle there is a football stadium and a place called seattle center. The stadium is where many of the high school foot ball games are played. In the seattle center is a childrens museum, a theater, and a few rides/water slides includinga ferris wheel, which is a lot of fun.
