Pacific Science Center

worldromper says

Seattle's foremost science museum is an awe-inspiring collection of robotic dinosaurs, shooting and spitting water fountains, participation experiments, creature talks, and really cool movies- IF you're a sixth grader. Though traveling exhibits like the Dead Sea Scrolls often bring to the Pacific Science Center a more adult-focused subject matter, the permanent collection is unfortunately a bit dated and will only be excitedly appreciated by kids who have not gotten over the plastic dinosaur phenomenon. The IMAX movies remain popular with crowds of all ages, and the nightly Laser Dome shows bring in a steady stream of young stoners with pillows, ready for an hour-long trip of light and sound mayhem. For most however, the PacSci is best to visit when you have children in tow. You can point them towards the dinos and go have an espresso.

Seattle Laser Dome ROCKS

Everyone’s Guilty. Some of us have done it, some of us do it more than we should, others are tempted but never get the courage to do it….until one day- BAM! You just do it; smiling, knowing that you will do it again and again. What am I talking about? The SEATTLE LASER DOME of course! An experience not to be missed, and enjoyed over and over again no matter how long it’s been, the laser shows are a unique kind of experience & entertainment. Grab some friends, and some pillows and remember you WANT to lie of the floor- 'cause that’s where the best view is.

From the staple cult classics like Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” or “The Wall”, to special engagement shows that you might never see again like “Beastie Boys" and the coveted “Sublime” night, the laser show experience is a must-do for veterans and new Seattlelites alike. There are regular shows starting later in the week, and if the number of choices seems overwhelming, step back and realize that you don’t have to see them all in one night; maybe because time seems to disappear in that little dome. Be swept back to a simpler time of visual imagery and booming, groovy sounds of your choice, surrounded on either side by your best friends….or use it as an excuse to snuggle close to that special someone in your life. Either way, you will not be disappointed! Break away from the norm, and try something new. And when it's over if you haven’t got your fill, yell “encore” with all your heart: you will get your wish, because I heard that guy in the booth can’t say no to music lovers!
