A Seattle Science Museum With Around 700 Butterflies
Meet free flying butterflies and explore a nonprofit museum beside the Space Needle.
🦋 Science With Living Wings
Pacific Science Center takes a science outing from interactive exhibits to live science shows near the Space Needle. The nonprofit museum at 200 Sue Bird Court N. has an IMAX theater, a laser dome and a planetarium, with several ways to switch between hands on exploration and immersive shows.
Inside the tropical butterfly house, around 700 butterflies fly freely. Visitors receive small flowers before entry to hold during this living encounter. The butterfly house adds a change of pace to a family itinerary built around exhibits and shows, without leaving the science center.
Daytime opening hours run from 10 AM to 5 PM daily. Regular adults only after hours programming offers a separate way to spend time here, beyond the family outing. Decide whether your Seattle stop is about the exhibits, the shows or the butterfly house, and build your museum day around that choice.
