Seattle Center

Seattle Center is Seattle’s vibrant 74-acre cultural campus and urban park — a dynamic hub of arts, entertainment, food, and green space right in the heart of the city. Created as the centerpiece of the 1962 World’s Fair (Century 21 Exposition), it transformed a former fairgrounds into a year-round gathering place that blends iconic landmarks, interactive museums, performance venues, and open lawns. Today, it’s one of Seattle’s top visitor destinations, perfect for families, culture lovers, and anyone wanting 360° views, hands-on pop culture, or free festivals.
