Seeing one of The Beatles on a small stage was just overwhelming. I only wish I was able to have met him... However seeing others from Joan Jett, Little Steve & Disciple's of Soul , STYX & heavy metal artist GREAT WHITE if you can believe that one. No pyro was allowed BTW! It's a seated venue most of the time so show up late. Plus you can get cocktails prior to entering the doors so kick back with a refreshing beverage and listen to the music..

One would think this would be named "Snoqualmie Casino Ballroom", i suggested to Yelp, but no…read moreaction. I've been here 3 times for various concerts. Ticketing process is not via a modern purveyor (Snoqualmie Casino tickets) so you actually have to print paper tickets and bring them. But I did very much appreciate not getting hosed for a ridiculous, greedy ticket fee (if paper tickets=no fee then I'm all for it) Impossible to find out whether cameras are allowed beforehand. I do see some concerts in the past were explicit - "no cameras". This last show, George Thorogood, had no info anywhere on the web, i had to approach security, ask my question, clearly the person didnt really know, but "guessed" no. It would be nice if they would allow it, as I can take pictures with my camera FAR LESS OBTRUSIVELY than the dozens of people in front of me holding up their iPhones the entire time. Security was pretty cool, no hassles. They allow you to bring in your house drink (my wonderful paper water cup), i think they swap you out with a plastic cup if you bring in glassware. There was a bar setup at the end of the foyer there. Seating is fairly easy to find, lots of ushers around who were eager to help you find your seat. Seating here is a drawback; padded folding chairs fastened together, no elbow rests or dividers. While comfortably padded, spacing is very tight given the average american adult. I am 6' 190, and I barely avoid 'spilling over'. I imagine if you're larger, you'll be rubbing elbows. Aisle spacing is very tight as well, so people trying to 'get out' or 'come in' its a tight squeeze even with everyone standing up to allow it. The flat-seating here means if tall people are seated in front of you, you will be blocked (this is exacerbated by the tight aisle spacing). Also, once people in front of you stand, you must stand as well to continue viewing. Sound was terrific, for George it was loud and thunderous. I think its a house system(?). All-in-all, its an 'ok' place for rock shows, by definition thats 3 stars. But i'm kinda waffling, aside from the major drawback of seating and, for me, a personal resentment about the lack of info about yes/no on cameras, I'll go "4 stars".

Back in the day The Muriel Amphitheater @ Seattle Center use to be my stomping grounds for live…read moremusic in the summers. The summer concert series known as PAIN IN THE GRASS showcased up & coming local artists every Friday. Now one show in particular on an overcast Friday night the last show of the summer on August 23rd 1991 Pearl Jam graced the stage for blistering free concert for a few hundred headbangers. It was one of the last shows a local could enjoy them before the world experienced Pearl Jam mania. I've enjoyed this small stage and grassy slop on many occasions from music @ Bumbershoot to enjoying food from the Bite of Seattle. Thank god some things never change in Seattle.

If you are a tourist reading this wondering if you should seek it out, the basic answer is likely no. BUT, I can tell you this is one of two locales that I recommend for a great photo-op of the Space Needle. (The other locale is by the International Fountain.) The beauty of it being in Seattle Center is that this is a great entertainment stage. If it is a summertime weekend, a cultural festival (call festal) might be having performances here. Concerts at the Mural is commonly on Thursdays. If it is a summertime Friday, there might be a movie playing. All these are free to the public. Most recently, we watched "Jaws" playing on the screen. With the backdrop of the Space Needle in the back, it made for a fantastic photo. Enjoy it for what it is - a stage with a naturally sloped lawn to chill and relax. Its opportunities are endless. P.S. 1 - You can rent this space. P.S. 2 - Food is available at the Armory next to it.

This is one of the fun things to do with the family. Great fun, Great weather!!! Gotta love the WHIRLIGIG! My recommendation, catch the light rail/bus to Westlake and walk to Westlake Center's monorail platform on the third floor.  Ride the monorail over to Seattle Center - Center House is right next to the exit for the monorail! Whirligig is open daily 11am-6pm!  Cost: $8: All Day Main Floor Pass $4.50: All Day Toddler Zone Pass $1.50: Single Ride Ticket FREE on Thursdays!

Often, screaming, laughing, crying, or any combination of the three can be heard from the little ones. TIP #1 - Come during the week before Spring Break (for Seattle Public Schools). It's always filled with kids but believe it or not, sometimes there are less kids. TIP #2 - Make enough time for your kids to run around and buy a wristband. Believe me, it will be the best $7.50 you will ever spend. The tickets only make sense if you are literally going to be there for only 15 minutes (which is rarely the case with kids). TIP #3 - Stay out of the way. Set up a spot where your child can find you and develop a safety protocol for all situations. Depending on when you are there, you will feel like you're on a NY subway, what with all the bumping, stepping, pushing and shoving. While my child is running and jumping around with friends, I am catching up with my friends or grabbing a bite to eat. The Armory has decent food now, but if you're trying to save a few bucks, you can bring your own food. Parking is always an issue around Seattle Center. Most street spots, if you find them are either metered or have 2 hour limits. TIP #4 - If you're going to eat at The Armory anyway, the food vendors will validate 2 hours parking in the Seattle Center garages. Remember, Whirligig typically runs for around 2 weeks or so. Make an event of it and plan a huge play date. Your kid will love it. The only downside is they won't let grownups ride (trust me, I've tried).

Great set up and venue. We are relatively new to the Seattle area and had never been to an event…read morelike this at the Seattle center. We walked about 13 miles throughout the day, but with 5 stages strategically located throughout the park, the music pumped all day and night. Cypress Hill was amazing! The crowd was hyped and when Insane in the Membrane started to play, the place went wild. The Pavement sounds (weird chords and music sung with off-key vocals similar to Peter Brady's puberty spurt - but somehow comes out as amazing music) was perfect. I have never seen Pavement before, but I have been a fan since the 90s (wow I'm old). Going from Cypress Hill directly to watch Pavement was a shock to the system, but I sang along with all the old favorites. "We dance. We dance. We dance. We Dance."

Especially with the warmer weather coming around. There is so many different kinds of things to see here! There is a section where there are all kinds of food trucks where you can get pretty much anything you want. If you desire something a bit more relaxing then you can also go in all of the eating establishments in the neighborhood that are open and ready to receive guests who want to sit and relax. After making it past the food trucks there are just all kinds of vendors selling pretty much anything you can think of as well. From crafts to shirts to jewelry and so much more! There are performers dressed up as clowns, fairies, drag queens and various other kinds of personas that people are totally prepared to be in character for. Throughout the day there are free concerts that take place too! There are events that happen all day but the events I saw was the power tool races where contestants assemble old power tools like saws and sanders into vehicles in which they drag race each other. While it appears that every racer is confident that their vehicle is dependable and fast when it comes down to it sometimes it just doesn't work out at all. Which is part of the quirky charm with this event. The races have very odd and hilarious homemade metal trophies to whoever is the best racer at the end as well as who qualifies in various categories. So much fun! There was also a clown side show where magic tricks were being performed as well as a fun house of sorts where many carnival antiques are housed along with clown masks, face painting and various other activities. Fun! I will definitely keep my eyes and ears open for when the carnival rolls around again next year because I would love to see more of those power tool races again!

It always makes for a fun time, with great views of the game. Up to first pitch the beers are half-off, which we all know is music to our ears because drinking at any stadium, field or sporting event is costly AF. So get here early and double-fist beers. And please don't get Coors or Bud Light. The tap list is awesome - so stick with the Pacific Northwest brews that are a little extra money, but worth it in the end. They also rotate them out, so always check for what's brewing. You'll also want to get here early because soon after the game starts there will be a mob of people forming in The Pen, so front sights are for early birds. Having friends or yourself to get here before the game starts is advised, so that not only you can get the best views, but also snag one of the few tables here, to set your beer and grub on. The Pen can get rowdy and noisy, but it's fun and you always meet new friends since everyone stands so close to one another during the game! Just know there are no seats here - standing room only. AND, The Pen is conveniently located by Ethan Stowell eateries and bathrooms. As long as you're okay with a drunk (but fun) crowd and standing the entire time - you will enjoy The Pen.
