For the entire month of February, guests staying in downtown Seattle hotels will receive half-off admission at over 30 museums across the region (good for up to four guests!) through Seattle Museum Month. That includes favourites like Chihuly Garden and Glass, Museum of Pop Culture, The Museum of Flight, the Seattle Art Museum, Suquamish Museum and more.
Seattle’s world-famous museums offer something for everybody – and there’s no limit on the number of museums you can explore. Fashionistas and movie fans will love the Museum of Pop Culture’s anticipated “Heroes and Villains: The Art of the Disney Costume,” a captivating new exhibition that immerses visitors into the world of Disney’s costume artistry. Sports fans will enjoy the Pacific Science Center’s new “Hockey Science Lab,” where guests test hockey knowledge with hands-on interactives on a scaled-down replica rink.
Between visiting museums – travellers can cozy up in one of Seattle’s many famous coffee shops; go to the waterfront to enjoy fresh seafood; or even hit the slopes (Seattle is just an hour from world-class skiing).
Travellers can also use the promotion as an extra reason to check out the Emerald City’s favourite accommodations – like the iconic Fairmont Olympic Hotel (the luxury hotel’s brand new art-deco inspired lobby bar is the perfect spot for a cocktail after a day at the museums) and the Thompson Seattle’s rooftop bar.
