This is a very friendly Museum for young children, with a large space designed for children aged 0-3. Museums are slightly outdated, and many areas lack toys or buttons (Cog City area, etc.). We've been to other museums, including Salt Lake City, Utah and San Antonio, Texas, and this one is OK. There is no cafe in the museum, but in the armory in the center of Seattle, there is a big food square. If you can get a mark when you go out, you can go in and out freely. There's also a good cart parking area. Overall, it's a great activity, especially in Seattle when it's cold or rainy.
