Pacific Science Center
Pacific Science Center is a Seattle Center science museum with exhibits and programs in distinctive 1962 World's Fair buildings designed by Minoru Yamasaki.
Why go
Pacific Science Center is a worthwhile Seattle Center stop when you want science exhibits in an architecturally distinctive World's Fair setting. Its original buildings began as the United States Science Pavilion, and Yamasaki's repeated concrete arches remain part of the experience. Pair it with the Space Needle to see two very different responses to the 1962 fair's vision.
