    Have been here two times. Definite must see if you're in Seattle. As you go room to room and out to the gardens you are just in awe of the beauty of the glass sculptures. Be sure to take the time to go to the auditorium to see the movie of Dale Chihuly creating the pieces.

    Beautiful exhibition in both the indoor space and outdoor garden. The hourly talk/ glass blowing demonstration was neat. Parking might be a bit tricky. Buy your tickets online in advance to get $5.00 off.

    We visited the Chihuly garden and glass museum/exhibition in Seattle. It was amazing! I am a huge art glass lover and collector. I have always loved and appreciated Chihuly's large pieces, but never his or anyone's "modern" art glass. After seeing this place, I really understand the abstraction that is happening and appreciate the glass more fully. I loved this experience! Highly recommend!

    If you're already visiting the Space Needle, going to Chihuly Garden and Glass is a complete no-brainer. The two attractions are right next to each other, and honestly, I'd have a hard time choosing which one impressed me more. The exhibits are stunning. Everywhere you look, there are massive, colorful glass sculptures that somehow seem both delicate and impossible at the same time. The Glasshouse, with its enormous suspended sculpture beneath the glass ceiling, is especially breathtaking. What many people may not realize is that Dale Chihuly is also the artist behind the famous glass ceiling in the Bellagio in Las Vegas. If you've ever stood in the Bellagio lobby staring up at those colorful glass flowers, you've already experienced one of his most iconic works. Seeing an entire museum dedicated to his art gives you a whole new appreciation for his creativity and craftsmanship. Even if you don't consider yourself an "art museum person," this place is worth visiting. It's visually spectacular, highly photogenic, and unlike anything else you'll see in Seattle. Don't just do the Space Needle. Do both.

    Don't miss this gem at the base of the Space Needle. Great displays of Chiluly's work, videos and a wonderful garden. It was on my wife's bucket list and it was such a treat.

    What a beautiful place to visit. The glass work is breathtaking. How they hang it from the ceiling without it falling is surprising. The glasswork is so detailed and displayed nicely. I like that there is indoor and outdoor. A it's really cool to see the space needle from the garden.

    Went to Chihuly Garden and Glass while in Seattle. It was amazing. The glass art was spectacular. The way the artist makes the glass in to art is just breathtaking. It amazes me that each piece is hand done. Each piece seems to take you on a different art adventure. Worth checking out when your are Seattle and if you are checking out the space needle. You can purchase tickets for both the space needle and Chihuly Garden and glass.

    Cool museum that features some very cool artwork. The area this museum is at is pretty close to other attractions, so it's very easy to visit. We spent about an hour here. I could see spending longer, but overall it is a very interesting, but short experience. Would still recommend checking this out though. It's right by the space needle, and it really is beautiful.

    Absolutely stunning pieces! Recommend grabbing the bundled ticket to also visit the space needle!

    Visited Chihuly Garden and Glass, not my first time. Been here several times and I will never get tired seeing this place. Very beautiful and nice display of glass blowing artist Chihuly, a native of Tacoma.

    This is a stunning museum and exhibition center, located right next to the Space Needle. Our tickets were part of the CityPass and we reserved our entry time few minutes before walking into the building. The check-in process was super quick. The first few halls were displaying artworks made out of glass. There were so many different sizes and shapes of colorful glass sculptures. It was so stunning, each photo seemed like a perfect shot for my phone's wallpaper. The hallway continues to a glass ceiling hall of the building with some more glass artwork. There was a cafe located in this area. Outside the building was a beautiful garden, with walkway all around. They were also doing a demo of making colorful vases from scratch using glass mold from furnace. On the other side was the entrance to the second building that had a theater playing a short movie about creating these glass art pieces. The exit was next to the theater that led to the gift shop. The gift shop was fascinating here. There were so products and artwork representing the glass sculptures inside the center. There were also many other souvenir items like stickers, magnets, apparels, cups, mugs, hats, books, stationery and so many more. We bought couple of magnets from here. Prices were decent. Staff members were really friendly here, both inside the exhibition and at the gift shop.

    A must visit in Seattle- Stunning blown glass exhibit! If you'd like a vibrant artsy experience in Seattle, drop by here to see Dale Chihuly's masterpieces. The museum houses his exquisite and intricate blown glass with a myriad of colors and designs. There is also an outdoor exhibit with several blown glass art entwined in the garden and the space needle towering overhead as a nice backdrop for photos. Glass blowing demos are shown, which is pretty interesting to see the soup to nuts creation of a glass blown bottle or vase. The tickets are a little expensive (~ $40) but worth for those who are passionate about the arts!

    A must see at Seattle. The whole exhibition gave me chills. It's such a beautiful display with all the pieces. The glass against the lights; the glass shines against each other; the shapes of glass going all different ways. Look at each piece as a whole and look at it separately. You see so many aspects of it. The colors are so vibrant and lively. In the garden, they have live glass-making sessions throughout the day. Very cool to see how it's done. Highly recommend as a tourist spot.

    Ask the Community - Chihuly Garden and Glass

    Is there a restaurant?

    yes there is. There's a sitdown restaurant that offers food. They also have drinks. There's an outdoor area that serves pizza sometimes as well.

    If I just want to go to The Bar do i have to pay admission to the Museum?

    There is no museum at the restaurant

    When booking ticket, they ask for a time frame. Is it really only 15mins? I can't stay for an hour?

    That's just the entry window, once you are in you can stay as long as you want. When I was there they had glass blowing demos and folks stayed to wait for the showings.

    Can you buy tickets day of/walk up?

    Yes, sir/ma'am, we did exactly that just a few weeks ago. If you pair your visit with a ride up to the Space Needle™ then you can save $10!

    Are they dog friendly?

    No, they do not allow animals.

    How much does it cost to get married here?

    Don't think they allow marriages there, unless you are willing to get married in the middle of the night. If they allow it, you have to pay for security staff. Please call them and ask. Their customer service is outstanding!

    What's the best place to park, cheaper rates? ***Thanks for all of your suggestions! We ended up…

    Street parking, or go on sunday and park in the street it's free

    What's the admissions cost per child and per adult?

    Adults $24 Kids 5-12 $14 Kids 13+ 24. Go online to see if you can purchase city pass it's about $70 you can get in this a about 5 other tourist sites (space needle, museum of pop culture etc) for the $70. But it's for one person per city pass… 

    When is the best time of day to visit this attraction?

    I highly suggest going in the later afternoon as it turns into evening. There are several exhibits that you will want to see in the light of day in the garden but they illuminate come dusk!

    Are there any interactive things for kids to do like make a piece of glass art?

    No there isn't. It is just an art exhibition mainly.

    How long should I plan to be in the museum?

    You can get in and out around an hour and a half, maybe 2 if you stay for the free outdoor shows (recommended)!

    Can we see inside Chihuly's glass studio? We would like to see them blowing the glass.

    Yes they have shows a few times a day showing you how the glass is made and how's it colored . It's really interesting and takes about 20 min

    I have been aware of the Mourning Market for a couple of years now but the dark themed market has…read morebeen around since 2009. The Mourning Market takes place in October and December. I believe each year the address for the market can change. This past year (2018) the address was at El Corazon. The Mourning Market is composed of dark themed... or Gothic styled merchandise that independent vendors and artists make and sell. This can include a variety of things from dolls, clothes, paintings, candy, cards, jewelry boxes, incense burners, necklaces and so much more! Many of the vendors do accept credit or debit cards but if there were any that did not there was an ATM at El Corazon where you could get cash. There is an entry fee to go to the market and the time we went it was only $2 which was very manageable. We bought several things here that we really enjoy! We got homemade chocolates from a vendor with a brilliant and refreshing mint flavor to it. I also got a bullet necklace where the bullet shell was carved in beautiful and elaborate designs. Steve got a David Bowie magnet which was awesome! The merchandise here is one of a kind and if it isn't then if there are duplicates of an item then it is very exclusive to that vendor or the market.In other words the likelihood of finding these items somewhere else are unlikely. Almost all of the vendors have their own business cards and I imagine you could place some orders for what they sell after the Mourning Market is held. The Mourning Market has about two dates out of the year as to when it is held. As I said location is bound to change year to year but it's definitely worth keeping track of. Their website is very straightforward and if you have the interest in becoming a vendor at the market there is even a link for that too at the website. The Mourning Market is a great way to support your local artists in the area!

I think it's worthwhile for everyone because it is interactive, engaging, and easy to enjoy even if you're not "into" art There's also the Mirror Mirror exhibit, which is basically an interactive photo competition inside the gallery. You take your photo in front of the large mirror installation and submit it for a chance to be featured in their rotating display. Visitors vote on their favorites, and the selected images are showcased in the space. My photo was actually featured for a few weeks, which was such a cool surprise and made the whole experience feel personal -- I feel like I'm a part of the Seattle community now! The gallery itself has a warehouse feel -- it reminded me of the Brooklyn art shows I've been to, and it's cool to see that kind of industrial, contemporary art space outside of nyc. Tickets were around $25 per person, with discounts for students, children, and seniors. They're open about half the week. This was one of my highlights of things to do downtown.
