Jonnie FoxDecember 29, 2011Long lines at Pacific Science Center don't equal long lines at EMP. nice!!
courtney schielaJune 4, 2015The museum felt really small. I didn't really feel like it was worth the money.
Jon AxellMay 6, 2010Make sure to see the bottom floor of the SFM - the stairs down are back by the robots on the main floor!
Jeff HackmeisterOctober 11, 2010One of the only places on Earth you will see multiple people listening to Zunes
The Seattle TimesSeptember 17, 2010To commemorate the 40th anniversary of Jimi Hendrix's death EMP is holding screenings of a new documentary introduced by Hendrix's half-sister. Read more
Tony GilbertSeptember 3, 2011Was a little disappointed this time - didn't realize the Science Fiction Museum wasn't open - by far my favorite part of this place. Avatar was okay - must be the only 1 on earth who isn't a fan.
Ceri ThomasSeptember 5, 2014Worst museum ever! If you are over 10yrs old it will be underwhelming and disorganized. If you're less than 10 not sure you are allowed on 4square on your own!
Hope ReedMay 12, 2010Free the first Thursday of each month--and barely crowded (I don't know what that says, Paul).
Adam BissonnetteAugust 21, 2011Was very disappointed! I used to love this museum an would stop by when I was visiting Seattle, but it seems to have has lost a lot of it's collection and is very disappointing now! :(
