There's tons to see and learn and knowledgeable docents to add their personal knowledge and life experience. The parking is plentiful and free and admission is free, but why not sign the visitor book and then donate a few bucks to this great place to help keep things going. Very highly recommended!

Enjoyed our time here. 140,000 sq. ft spread out on 3 floors. So much to see in so little time…read more Blessed to witness the exhibition: Beats + Rhymes: A Collective Narrative of Hip Hop. Loved how MOPOP described the cultural movement built upon five foundational elements: MC'ing, DJ'ing, Breakdancing, Graffiti and Self: Identity, Community, Political Awareness and the use of Hip Hop to show one's expression. Viewing this took me back in time and brought back so many memories. Also liked the other parts of the museum: the two story guitar art piece, "If VI was IX", interactive Sound Labs for music as well as the indie video games. But what stood out was the Infinite Worlds of Science Fiction: Star Wars to Star Trek to Aliens and Back to the Future. Definitely a must see!

On the other hand, it felt like most of the material is either pictures & basic bios of famous people, or physical props. Is it really that stimulating to see a replica of a proton pack, a Dalek, or a Starfleet uniform behind enclosed glass? The section with the highest potential was the music lab, but the interactivity seemed pretty limited. On top of that, I caught a few factual errors, like misspelled names ("Paul Ruebens"), or bloopers in their historical video reels (both 1987 and 1990 contained clips of The Simpsons, which are both wrong -- it debuted in 1989 as a standalone show). Somewhere on the floor there's a poorly conceived gallery of video game controllers, which inexplicably features some generic third-party controllers that don't count, while controllers from many important game consoles are missing entirely. These are all sloppy errors for a museum to make. All in all, I'd say this place offers maybe $15 worth of fun, but not the $35 they currently charge.

It's my favorite picture of me with the Space Needle. We got a discount by buying the Space Needle and Chihuly Garden and Glass ticket together right before we entered the Space Needle. We saved $21 by buying them together. It's $40 to get in by its self. It was a deal we couldn't pass up and we really wanted to see both of them. In order to enter you need to scan your ticket and the gate will open for you. If you are scanning in multiple people it's best if they go in first and you keep scanning the tickets till all the people enter and then enter yourself. Once you enter to the right is the clear glass exhibit. It looks like ice spears. It looked like it would kill you if you fell on it. The next room has glass bowls and such and a wall of tapestries. It makes the best background for selfies. The third room is the icon multiple glass sculpture. Everyone is trying to get a picture of it as it's the main attraction. I took some great selfies with it. My favorite part of the show was the garden. There you can take pictures of the glass with the Space Needle in the background.

They're just so impressive, how complicated they were, and they just blew my mind on how BIG the efforts put making them into these final displays especially in those gigantic size. Couldn't even believe how someone could invent those solid ideas! The mix of indoor and outdoor sections came in such unexpected nice surprise, including the live demo coming throughout the day. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AND TOTALLY WORTH EACH MINUTE SPENT THERE!

More than Scandinavian - the museum tells the story of Poulsbo's settling and development.

Upstairs recently opened telling the story of Poulsbo from 1930-1980, the years when WWII changed the demographics of Poulsbo dramatically.

It was clear that a lot of time and talent went into many of the exhibits. That said, the experience felt a bit inconsistent. Some areas were much more engaging than others, and a few of the displays didn't have the same level of detail. At times, multiple audio narrations were playing at once, which made it difficult to focus and became a little overwhelming. We also noticed that several of the interactive buttons and TV displays weren't working during our visit. For $19, I don't regret stopping by, but it just wasn't quite what I was expecting. For me, it's more of a one-time attraction than somewhere I'd visit again. If you enjoy miniature art and displays, it may be worth checking out, but it ultimately wasn't the right fit for my interests.

In general, I'm not sure if I would go out of my way to come back but with kids who like small things, trains, dioramas, it was worth doing! I think we were in and out in about an hour. I bet some kids could zoom through in less time (then maybe not worth the price?) and some kids might take 1.5-2 hours, so maybe try to gauge if you think its something you/your family would enjoy. Some displays had buttons that didn't work but for the most part if you looked or read the placard you could figure out what was going on.
