Beautiful Glass Art and Conveniently Located Next to the Space Needle…read more This is a beautiful museum with a prime location directly adjacent to the Space Needle, making it a very convenient and fast stop to add to your Seattle itinerary. While the glass art is stunning, it is a relatively quick walk through, and I find that I do not spend a lot of time here during my visits (which can be good or bad). Tickets are not cheap, and it is not the most engaging option for younger children. That said, our kids did thoroughly enjoy watching the live glass-blowing demonstration, which was a fantastic highlight -- we ordered a pizza (took about 10 min, which was perfect timing for us to wait for the next demo and grab front row seats) and were able to feed them during the show. Overall, it is a worthwhile, beautiful stop if you are already in the area and looking for a quick dose of local culture, though families with very young children may want to weigh the ticket price against the short visit time or alternative options.

Small, but mighty (and free). A fantastic place to visit but it requires some planning ahead…read more They're only open to the public the first and third Saturday of every month. Reservations are available 15 days in advance. I'd highly recommend that you reserve tickets when they are first made available. We planned a trip out on the Bainbridge Ferry the day we had The Spheres reservations. I definitely don't recommend doing that. The ferry was delayed and we wound up getting to The Spheres 25 minutes after our reservation time. Thankfully, they let us in without really mentioning the time. They request that each guest stay in the building for at most an hour to accommodate the constant flow of guests. The Spheres is a 4 level botanical garden. It was designed to replicate a cloud forest in order to host thousands of tropical and subtropical plants. There were a lot of interesting things that I had never seen elsewhere including spiky-leaf plants (Bigonia xerox), a palm with bright orange stalks with small green fruit that look like capers (Pacaya Palm), and a cone-shaped, bright orange flower that looked unreal (Guzmania conifers). There were also exhibits with amphibians or tropical fish. There's a cafe on the second floor called General Porpoise and gender neutral bathrooms on every floor. A few stations have experiments for kids to interact with or poster boards to read. Because they restrict the guests, it's not too crowded. There is a ton of things to look at and photograph. The amount of people make it so you can get the perfect shot if you are willing to wait a little. It's a must see building and worth the time planning ahead for.

We were completely blown away by what we saw when we arrived at our appointed time to visit. The Spheres comprises a trio on connected glass domes, located in the center of Amazon-occupied office towers in Downtown Seattle. The Spheres opened in 2018 by Jeff Bezos for his employees. They are only open to the public for free on two Saturdays of each month. The structure was designed by American architecture firm NBBJ. They serve as an employee lounge and workspace. The Spheres are a fully functioning, self-contained ecosystem - a greenhouse with more than 40,000 different varieties of plants from all over the world. It is built on a concrete foundation, using 620 tons of steel. The structures are connected in an open-plan indoor area filled with numerous exotic plants. The most striking feature inside the Amazon Spheres is a 4,000 square foot Canyon Living Wall. It stands 62 feet tall and 50 feet wide. A path winds up four stories across a suspension bridge to a Bird's Nest meeting area. During the day the temperature inside is in the mid 70's with 60% humidity. At night, it drops to 55 degrees with 85% humidity. The highest of the three Amazon Spheres is 90-meters tall. The catalans at the Amazon Spheres contain an incredible 2,643 panels of glass, making the whole structure visible from the outside thus, creating a clear view on the inside. There's also a cafe with treats and coffee. They also offer free tours. We found The Spheres to be a serene and comforting place to visit. The place was amazing!

To be a small botanical garden, there's a nice walking path and many, many beautiful flowers and plants to see. There are often local community events hosted here. Activities for the young to adults. They have classes that you can find and sign up for on their website as well. And the classes are affordable!! You may even see people taking wedding photos here because again it's beautiful. The park is ADA friendly. The path is dirt and pebbled but can be navigated with a wheelchair. There are bathrooms on site and a small shop. I have never purchased bulbs or plants from here but I know there is a big community around that. The coffee shop in the garden can get busy. But a benefit is we were able to charge my husband's wheelchair there on a visit. While the park is open every day, the coffee shop is not. Definitely this should be a spot for all locals. And not just a one time visit either.

Once the entire family met up, we climbed back into the car and headed to Bellevue. Not sur if it was due to the time. But we were surprised there was a lot of parking available. We spent a good 2-hrs here which included getting lost and finding other street entries into the botanical park from a school and from other busy street corner at the bottom of the park. Nice and shaded, quiet little creeks, plenty of seating for those that were inspired to journal, plenty of elderly people using this time to exercise and stretch. We enjoyed the different areas like the swinging bridge, the Japanese garden and even the little cafe they have there. Fairly priced items and plenty of tables to enjoy a refreshment and snack. By the time we were done, the gift shop was already closed. So I took the opportunity to drop a donation into the box instead.

There are bars and fencing at the windows though, which does detract a little from the experience. Between the windows are informational signs about Seattle's history.

You get the idea. I really enjoy this park every time I visit. Located atop a hill it also offers a lovely vista of Seattle.
