Given the immense contributions of Coast Salish people to our area, I wish the space was featured more prominently, rather than tucked into a cozy corner by the now-closed Global Village. Created in collaboration with Native artists, it features a puppet theater with animal hand puppets, displays detailing Native legends, and shelves with puzzles and books from Native Northwest. The other newer exhibit is Tribal Tales, dedicated to the Coast Salish tribes who have stewarded the Seattle area for thousands of years. ![]() ![]() My 3-year-old - along with another kid who passed through during our visit - couldn’t get enough of the retractable sink sprayer and working pet blow dryer. Animal-loving kids will enjoy caring for the stuffed critters and looking at x-rays of animal skeletons. The old cafe play area has transformed into Neighborhood Paws, a veterinary office. Long-time museum lovers will notice a couple of new exhibits in the space. My son and I eagerly scurried over to take a sneak peek at the new and refreshed exhibits!

Needless to say, we all felt ecstatic when the Seattle Children’s Museum finally announced its early-April reopening. We would ride the monorail, play in the kid-favorite grocery store and Global Village areas, break for some Mod Pizza, and then return for more fun. We also adore other local kids’ museums, but this one is the closest to our home and has the most nearby amenities. I’ll even admit to scheduling visits to the museum just days before my kids’ first birthdays - to save on admission. Pre-pandemic, the Seattle Children’s Museum at Seattle Center was a top-requested play destination in our family. ![]()
