About Pacific Science Center

You've Got a Guy here to help you lock in your tickets to Pacific Science Center, a staple science museum on the Seattle Center campus. From the PACCAR IMAX Theater and two other theaters to dynamic planetarium shows and interactive exhibits, PacSci offers a full day of discovery. The North Entrance is undergoing construction through February 2026, but the main campus remains open with multiple access points. We’ve got you covered with seating info, parking options, transit details, and trusted nearby hotel and restaurant picks to help you plan a smooth visit.

Location matters: PacSci sits at the heart of Seattle Center, convenient to public transit and a short ride from downtown. Whether you’re here for a family outing, school group, or an adults-only science night, you’ll find engaging programs year-round—from Science After Dark to BrainFest and special lectures.

Seating is designed for casual access: PACCAR IMAX Theater seats 325 with general admission (no reserved seating). Other theaters and planetarium programs operate with standard show times. If you’re driving, use Seattle Center garages for parking, with accessible drop-off along Sue Bird Court. For transit, link up via Monorail from Westlake Center, Link Light Rail, and multiple Metro bus routes. King County’s Ride Transit Free program offers limited free transit for eligible visitors. We’ve highlighted affiliate partner hotels and restaurants nearby to simplify planning—secure your seats, know where to park, and enjoy a stress-free Seattle science day at PacSci.

Note: The North Entrance is under construction through Feb 2026. Some exhibits and dinosaurs have moved during updates, but PacSci remains open and active with ongoing programs and events.
