Always something to learn

Published on Oct, 2024

PacSci ignites curiosity in every child and adult, fueling a passion for discovery, experimentation, and critical thinking in all of us.

Great For All Ages

Lots of fun for all ages. Butterfly House has species from all over the world. There is a dinosaur section for the young ones

A day well spent

Published on Sep, 2024

This was a day well spent. Based on all there was to do, I knew it was going to be an all day visit, which it was. It is a museum for children (I wasn't sure if it was also going to be an adult museum, but it was really for kids). My 7 year old loved it. I thought that the actual museum was just ok -- it wasn't super large. But all the add ons made it super special (the planetarium, the laser show, and the IMAX, all of which we did). While the planetarium and laser show are included with the tickets, you have to reserve them when you get your tickets. So it's important to either buy your tickets in advance (I think the planetarium can't be reserved in advance before the day of but I'm not sure, we bought our tickets in person the morning of) or arrive early day of. Sure enough, some of the things were full by noon and I was glad we started early. It's a full day to get in an IMAX show (extra cost), the planetarium, and the laser show, which are all timed tickets. The butterfly area is super cool. They had a show of illusions which was super fun. There's a room of hands on physics things that are super fun for kids. We stayed until they closed and we started shortly after they opened. It's a little intense with kids running around, but it's manageable. They do not have a place to eat, so be sure to pack lunches. We didn't have time to leave and get food, so we wound up just eating the snacks I brought. My daughter also caught a cold after being there, which makes sense with all the kids and their germs, so be prepared for some exposures, and perhaps plan the timing in your trip accordingly.

Great IMAX Experience

Published on Aug, 2024

This was the best movie experience in four years in Seattle. I like that they have discounts for local residents. I honestly don’t think that I could go to a regular movie theater after this experience. Very friendly staff. The PSC is deserving of our support. As you walk through you see hoards of children with their parents having fun with the interactive exhibits.I can’t wait to go back to see the actual exhibits. Kudos to the center and staff.
