Science can be fun -- a great place to take kids of all ages. As others have mentioned, this is a bit like SFO's Exploratorium or even Portland's OMSI (minus the submarine). Be sure to hit the exhibit…

For a new walker this is the best place in Seattle. The toddler area is great where they can roam and they never go out of your site.

Kids love to wander through this large science center, trying out all the fun learning exhibits. Afterwards, wander the rest of the Seattle Center.

This is a nice size science center. There are many things to do and it makes for a nice outing-especially if it's raining out. Lots of cool science things to do.

The Butterfly exhibit features a wide variety of butterflies in a natural setting. Great for kids and first dates - places to walk around outside - including the rides at the "Fun Forest" and dining at the food court. Make sure you check the event calendar as many weekends in the summer have events like Bumbershoot and Bite of Seattle.

You definitely don't have to be a kid to enjoy this place. It can actually be romantic too and a great date idea. Just be careful because you will feel like making out in the planetarium.
