Things to do in Seattle, Washington (WA): The Best Playgrounds

July 20, 2021 Malia Yoakum

In Seattle you simply can’t skip the Central Public Library – a modern architectural marvel of glass grids, unusual shapes, and a “book spiral” that climbs four stories. Stroll over to Pike Place Market to visit the original Starbucks and play catch with a fishmonger. In the heart of the city lies Chihuly Garden and Glass, which will dazzle you with its colorful and delicate works. Glide to the top of the Space Needle for panoramic views of the surrounding mountain ranges and Puget Sound.

Artist at Play Playground at Seattle Center

Reviewed By Canucksontheloose - Victoria, Canada

This has got to be one of the best FREE playgrounds ever conceived! Conveniently located by the monorail/ Seattle Centre/ Museum of Pop Culture/ Chihuly Art & Gardens/ International Fountain/ Space Needle, this outdoor playground just adds to the fun-filled, awe-inspiring, creative energy that embodies Seattle. Giant web-climbing structure, curvy tube slides, 2D labyrinth, musical pillars, merry-go-round, swaying bridges, etc. Great for kids 5-12 years. You can bring a picnic or grab food at the nearby Armoury (with clean washrooms there too). It just needs trees for shade to make it perfect!

Parking is free in the park. It wasnt hard to find parking. We visited the historic water tower and climbed to the top. We loved the donut where you can see the Seattle needle. There was a piano where you can play. The Asian art museum is there as well as the conservatory. There are some lovely trees around that you can climb on.

Cal Anderson Park

Reviewed By misopiso88 - Seattle, United States

Cal Anderson Park was ground zero for The Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) also known as Free Capitol Hill, the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest, or the Capitol Hill Organized Protest (CHOP) in 2020. It was a historic protest that was important to understand and see. So glad we were able to make it.
