The Seattle Center, a 74-acre exhibition made in 1962 for the World’s Fair is a 605ft. space needle built for the “Century 21” exhibition. This is a very recognizable landmark in the city of Seattle and known throughout the world. The Experience Music Project, Science Fiction Museum, Hall of Fame and Pacific Center are also there.
The Children’s Museum for the younger visitors, when designed, had this childlike imagination and energy in mind. Other enjoyable events in Seattle are the Bumbershoot, Folk Life and Bite of Seattle. These and other civic festivals are held here.
At the Pacific Science Center there are many exhibits that change but also many permanent. Some permanent ones include the Insect Village containing large robotic insects, Puget Sound Model and Saltwater Tide Pool, first alert weather center and Body Works with exhibits that you can test your reaction time. At the Scientific Playground children can be educated on what makes a motor engine work. There are also hands on displays such as lasers and holograms at the center, which consist of both indoor and outdoor displays.
