It's a good place to learn 11/19/2006

The Pacific Science Center is a lot of fun, especially for kids..but adults can learn a thing or two. They have a lot of interesting exhibits. I think the best part of the science center is the imax. The deep sea 3D movie is pretty good. Definately go, it's a great experience!! Pros: Good exhibits, imax, can learn some interesting things more

Needs Revamping 4/1/2003

Same as the Children's Museum. More money should be spent on things for our kids and update the attractions in the Science Center. Some of it is great and interesting, but rather than rebuild and fix the fly man and some of the other stuff in that area, why not use the space for something a bit more inspiring to our children. There is a beauty in science that they need to see and the Science Center is failing in providing that. Please update the exhibits or get rid of them for something better. Pros: Variety, All ages Cons: Out dated, Non Working things, Kind of lame more

Love it!! 11/1/2002

My family and I go there about every few months just to visit and see what we missed before. I love the PSC because it has things for adults and kids to interact with. I guess because I love learning and discovering new things, it would appeal to me, but I love seeing my kids taking an interest and learning on top of it. Definitely something you need a day to explore. Best money spent!!! Pros: great value, Interactive, Learn a LOT!! Cons: parking, sometimes crowded, close too early more

Something for everyone 8/18/2002

My son grew up with regular trips to the PSC. He's 17 now and still enjoys visiting. There's something for every age group. Hands on exhibits are great to catch the interest and invite further research. Try to go during the week if you can, as weekends can be crowded. Pros: Seattle Center Cons: crowded on weekends more

Family Fun 8/8/2002

We went mid week in spring which was perfect for trying to avoid a crowd. They offer a terrific membership plan for families, which includes some of the Imax movies, the ability to bring up to 5 guests anytime. It had things of interest for every age, which I've found is rare to find at a science center. Pros: All day parking $5, Places closeby to eat, close to other sites Cons: Busy During Summer, Busy on Weekends more
