The Ultimate Kids’ Vacation
Seattle Southside is a smorgasbord of family fun!
Seattle Southside has always been known as a destination for families. This four-day itinerary will give you a pretty good idea of what attractions and restaurants are great for kids and parents alike!
Use that sugar high to hype the family up for your next experience just around the corner at iFLY Seattle. Ever heard of indoor skydiving? iFLY Seattle has a vertical wind tunnel making indoor flight easy, fun, and safe for all ages. After a tutorial, get suited up for your turn in the tunnel. Additional photos and videos are available for purchase to help you all relive the excitement over and over when you return home.
After lunch, head down to the Marine Science and Technology (MaST) Center and discover a new world beneath Puget Sound! This aquarium is open for public viewing every Saturday and admission is FREE! Kids will get a chance to view over 250 native Puget Sound species, touch some Puget Sound creatures in two large touch tanks, and stand in awe under one massive, 38-foot Gray Whale skeleton.
If the visit to the MaST Center got the family in the mood for some seafood, head to Anthony's HomePort in Des Moines for some of the best cioppino around, or one of a number of other delectable seafood delights!
After three days of exploring Seattle Southside, it’s time to catch the light rail and take a ride to downtown Seattle. Head to the Stadium stop if there’s a Seahawks, Sounders FC, or Mariners game; University Street station to see Pike Place Market, the Seattle Aquarium and the Great Wheel; or get off at Westlake station and hop on the Monorail to Seattle Center to see the Space Needle, MoPOP, and the Seattle Children’s Museum.
