Monorail to Seattle Center
Riding the monorail is a must-do when in Seattle. It, like the Seattle Center district, is the legacy of the 1962 World’s Fair. It has run continuously longer than any other monorail on the planet. The 74-acre site used to be a Native American ceremonial ground, followed by traveling circuses. It wasn’t until the fair , that it assumed its present state. Over 7,000 passengers board the rail daily, between Westlake Center and Seattle Center, the city’s entertainment core. This vibrant and bustling area boasts many attractions including amusement park rides, the famous Space Needle in which you can take trips in its glass elevator, museums including the spectacular Children’s Museum, various galleries and the Pacific Science Center. Seattle Center also boasts opera, ballet and some superb theatre companies. The center is also home to the city’s biggest festivals. After spending a hard day shopping in some of the area’s delightful places, take a leisurely walk through Sculpture Garden and Peace Garden southwest of the Needle, or have a snack on the grass by the International Fountain. The monorail runs every 10 minutes daily. It’s times are from 7:30am to 11pm on Monday to Friday and 9am to 11pm on Saturday and Sunday. |
