A free playground at the foot of the Space Needle: the 30-foot climbing tower is for big kids, while the toddler area and the International Fountain, which sprays in time with music, keep a 2-year-old happy; the children's museum, science center, and Monorail are all within walking distance.

💡 Tips
Bring a change of clothes in summer, as the fountain is full of kids. Parking is expensive and scarce on festival and event days, so take the Monorail or light rail.
