  This place is amazing. It's located near Seattle Center, so there's limited parking options, but there's many paid parking lots located walking distance away. There's a long ramp down into the fountain which makes it accessible to anyone. However, the sloped sides seem the favorite of children to go down and play on. Guardians should keep an eye on them, tho, as the sides are very steep and playing in the water will make things slippery. For those who want to watch and not play, there's a short wall surrounding the edge in top. Prefect for sitting and watching the fountain (&/ kids). There's also events that go on here too. Once we caught a water show where the fountain pumped to the beat of the songs belting out on the speakers. The water shot much higher and was really awesome to see. This is a perfect spot for some outdoor water themed fun. The Armoury is super close by, so when there isn't food vender events you can always grab food there and come back to spend time at the fountain. And, of course, the armory has bathrooms, so no one gets stranded. Tldr; All in all, this is a fun, safe place to spend time.

  Unique Seattle fountain that hails from the 1962 Seattle World's Fair. (AKA "The Inverted Fountain.") Families, especially kids, love to get wet here; so bring bathing suits or wear clothing that dries quickly! Prime "let's get wet" spot for a warm day. Music accompanies the fun and is programmed with the varying levels and flows of water shooting high and rolling back down into the drain at the bottom of the huge bowled fountain. Never gets old. Heard a new tune the last time I walked by.

  This is a fun place to be. When my children were elementary age we came here frequently in the summer to play. I enjoyed the changing pattern of the water. Seattle Center if a enjoyable way to spend an afternoon and then there are the cultural venues and events.

  Great place to meander around. Always fun things to do and see. Fun for kids to run around, especially in summer. Playground by the EMP museum is spectacular! Huge rope ladders make a multistory piece of playground equipment which is fun for older kids.

  Cool spot to hang out, always with good music playing. Never a dull moment here, typically a good crowd of people having a good time. Nice central part of Seattle Center to meet up or wait for someone. Usually man or beast can be found enjoying the water
