Seattle Washington is a city that has much to
offer young and old alike as a vacation destination. The truly amazing thing
about a city like Seattle is that many of the attractions that might appeal to
young children, might also appeal to those of an older generation for much the
same and very different reasons.
One of the many attractions that older
visitors are sure to enjoy, well, if flowers are there thing, is the Woodland
Park Rose Garden. These gardens are free to attend and offer some spectacular blooms
if you visit between the months of May and August.
The Seattle Aquarium is another point of
interest for young and old alike. Whether you are in your first childhood or
your fifth there really is nothing more exciting than watching glorious sea creatures
swim above your head. When I was a child, which was something that happened in
science fiction, not in real life.
Which brings me to my next timeless
attraction: The Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame. This museum explores
the history of science fiction and the impact it has had on the world we see
today. I love the way imaginations from times long past have sparked some of
the inventions of today. As a serious science fiction lover and fanatic, I
completely enjoy this museum and could spend days here. But I also have to
admit that there are things I see here that belong to my father, and some
things that belong to my children. This is why the Science Fiction Museum made
my list.
The Underground Tours are another thing that
someone who is more mature might find very interesting. I know that I was
completely enthralled not only in the story, but also in the hearing of the
story. This was one tour that was well worth the price I paid for it. I would pay the price again if for nothing
more than to take another stroll around the museum that requires a tour ticket
to gain entrance. Of course, the only exit from this tour is through the gift
shop, which really poses no problem. I have will power, really!
The Whale Museum and any of the whale
watching tours are another draw worth mentioning. If you have never seen one of
these magnificent creatures up close it is an awe-inspiring event and one well
worth repeating if you have. Young and old alike, no matter how big you are,
it's amazing how small you can feel next to these great animals.
And of course there is always the Private Eye
on Seattle Tour. This tour is not for the faint of heart and yet if you are a
fan of old private eye novels or 'true crime' then you should find this
particular tour to be a great amount of fun. There are three tours available:
The Queen Anne Mystery and Murder Tour, the Capital Hill Mystery and Murder
Tour, and Haunted Happening-also called the Seattle Ghost Tour. Each of these
tours costs $25 per person and lasts between two and a half and three hours.
It doesn't really matter if you are young or
simply young at heart, Seattle has something to wonderful to offer all who
visit here. From the gorgeous scenery that only nature could provide to the
cultural center that this great city has become, I hope you can find plenty to
keep you occupied during your stay.
