Area Seattle Museums educate and entertain, if you love learning, then there are plenty of museums in and around the city to visit and entertain you and your family.
There are museums here that cover everything from the Klondike Gold Rush to Log Houses and many, many things in between.
Museum of Flight. This is probably one of the museums that Seattle is most proud of, it is consistently voted one of, if not the best of its kind in the country. Learn about the history of flight and even take a ride in a flight simulator or tour the original Air Force One. No matter how you feel about flying, this museum is of great interest.
The Northwest Railway Museum is another museum that is not only educational but also fun for everyone in the family as well. Visit the Depot, which has been fully restored to its originally splendor or take a ride on one of the trains. Whatever you fancy, your little guy's (even your not so little guy's) eyes will light up at the idea of riding the rails. The mission of this museum is to educate the public on the vital role that railroads have played in the development of Washington State throughout history. The Whale Museum is particularly interesting, especially if you intend to do some whale watching while you're visiting. Spend a little time learning about whales at the Whale Museum before you go on your whale watching excursion and it will enhance your trip no end. The Odyssey Maritime Discovery Center is another of the great Seattle museums that can be found in area. This museum not only offers great resources and information about the maritime history that is so important to Seattle today but interactive displays that encourage children to learn and explore by doing. This is a great place to spend the day, but pay close attention to their hours for the day you are planning to attend as this center has shorter weekday hours than most Seattle museums.
The Wing Luke Asian Museum is the only museum of its kind in the U.S. This museum is devoted to preserving and promoting Asian Pacific American culture, history, and art. This museum has a permanent exhibit that is set up to remind us of the internment camps that were used for Japanese Americans during the Second World War.
