Your walking tour around the Space Needle begins at the Museum of Pop Culture. From there, your journey takes you to the majestic Space Needle, a prominent symbol of the 1962 World’s Fair. Here, you’ll hear the story of how the city sought a memorable centerpiece for fairgoers and the struggle to find a place to build it!
As you keep walking, you’ll see the Sonic Bloom, solar-powered floral sculptures that produce harmonic tones as you get close! Then see the Pacific Science Center, filled with educational exhibits for the whole family. Next, you’ll check out the Neototems Children’s Garden and learn the curious mythology behind the sculptures here. Your journey next takes you to the Mural Amphitheatre, where you’ll hear about the trials and tribulations faced by its creator.
Then move past the Seattle Center and onto the International Fountain, another remnant from the World’s Fair. If you’re lucky, you might even take in a water show, synced to diverse music like Beethoven and Northwestern bands. Up next is another original structure from the fair, the Climate Pledge Arena. You’ll hear how the arena once housed the “World of Tomorrow” exhibit, complete with projected images of an imagined future! Your walking tour ends at the Artists at Play Playground, a totally unique space designed around themes of sound and motion.
