Visiting the Seattle Children's Museum was an absolute delight for both my kids and me! The moment we stepped inside, we were greeted by a vibrant, playful atmosphere brimming with creativity. Each themed area was designed to spark the imagination—my little ones were immediately drawn to the colorful art zone, where they could paint and create to their hearts' content!

What impressed me the most was the sanitized toy environment. It's clear that the museum prioritizes cleanliness, which gave me peace of mind while the kids explored the myriad of fun-filled activities. One moment, we were playing in a mini grocery store, teaching the kids about healthy food choices, and the next, we were embarking on a pretend adventure in a whimsical airplane.

Reentry is super convenient too, thanks to the stamps, allowing us to step out for lunch and return for more playtime. Overall, the experience was both enriching and enjoyable, making Seattle Children's Museum one of the best places to visit in Seattle with kids. I left with happy children and a treasure trove of joyful memories!
