SEATTLE · SEATTLE ATTRACTION TICKETS AND PASSES
Between the Needle, the aquarium, the flight museum and the glass garden, a pass pays for itself in three stops. These 7 options are compared on what is bundled, how long you have to use it and what the same tickets cost bought separately.
Seattle CityPASS gives you admission to the Space Needle, Seattle Aquarium, and three attractions of your choice: Chihuly Garden and Glass, Argosy Cruises, MoPOP, Woodland Park Zoo, or Pacific Science Center. Use mobile tickets over nine days, with reservations required at some stops.
“I wouldn’t change anything! Easy and a great value!”
At Columbia Center, ride 73 floors in about 70 seconds to Sky View Observatory, Seattle’s highest public viewing deck. Study murals and infographics, use the digital Plan Your Own Tour guide, and see Mt. Rainier, Mt. Baker, the Olympics, and the San Juans. Classic and Elite tickets include café or gift-shop credit.
“I was searching for a ticket to go up the space needle, not knowing about this area I bought the ticket I did thinking it was the observation deck of the space needle and I couldn’t go to the top, and wasted motel room, parking and a ticket I didn’t want.”
Use your mobile ticket for daily admission to Seattle’s Woodland Park Zoo, home to 1,100 animals across 300 species. Plan one to six hours for tropical forests, coastal deserts, gorillas, lions, otters, butterflies, outdoor animal programs, and the Zoomazium play space.
“It was totally awesome and well worth going. I’ve always seen the zebras on TV and giraffes like to see them in person is awesome along with all the other animals.”
Enter Smith Tower at 502 2nd Ave, ride its historic Otis elevators, and explore exhibits on the way to the 35th-floor observatory. From the open-air deck, you’ll see Seattle and Puget Sound in every direction. Food, drinks, and a Prohibition-themed bar are available for purchase.
“Our first time to the Smith Tower, the history displayed and the old elevators made the experience awesome. The restaurant at the top had a nice view and we were able to enjoy lunch while enjoying the view.”
Enter the Seattle Art Museum near Pike Place Market for a full day of global art, from ancient Mediterranean objects to modern works, Native American pieces, and Australian Aboriginal art. An English-speaking greeter helps you get started, and your ticket also gives access to current exhibitions, Market Seattle, and the SAM Shop.
“The Museum was intresting and the collections as well...!!!”
Use your mobile ticket to explore Pacific Science Center’s hands-on exhibits for about two to three hours. See free-flying butterflies, touch Puget Sound sea life, test designs in Tinker Tank, meet robotic dinosaurs, and add IMAX, planetarium, or laser-show tickets if available.
“Fascinating exhibits. And so many. Stayed for a few hours and saw building 1. Learned things. We are senior citizens all with multiple advanced degrees and PacSci engaged us fully. Terrific”
Build your own Seattle day with a 24 or 48-hour open-top bus ticket, English audio commentary, and stops near Pike Place Market, Pioneer Square, the Space Needle, and more. Add a 45 to 90-minute visit to Sky View Observatory for wide views of Mt. Rainier, Mt. Baker, and the Olympic Mountains.
Pick a waterfront, a market aisle or a mountain road.
