Free parking on Sunday. Expensive for a family.
Nice new building. It’s interesting to see the working areas. Would have liked to see more in the orca and salmon, and not just related to the tribes. The neutral language signage and straight forward exhibits are excellent.
They refer to colonization as if the movement of people is a new thing. They pick and chose who are allowed to migrate. The Pacific Islanders are the only people to use visual clues to navigate bodies of water.
Seattleites will enjoy this museum.

The Burke Museum was good, but for a city the size of Seattle, I have to say I was hoping for more. Washington has a lot of history. From prehistoric times to the modern day. The exhibits were cool, some of the best I've seen. But I really wish there was more.
Washington has a very rich and diverse history with much to offer the kid who loves dinosaurs, those who want to learn about the native peoples or the many environments that exist around the state. This museum just scratches the surface of these things in my opinion.

My family enjoyed this museum a lot. We spent about 2.5 hours here. I loved being able to see the labs and explain to the kids how items come to the museum, are stored, processed and displayed. They found it very interesting. Be sure to check the website. Many qualify for free admission. I loved the combination human history as well as natural history and science.
Interesting Museum. Reserved in advance for free first Thursday of the month.
Loved especially level 2 which has a lot of unique experiences, although a little bloody.
And loved playing the mancala. Was a pretty great game.

For a small museum this place did not disappoint. You get a discount if you arrive by public transit which is nice. Spent almost two hours here and enjoyed it all.
Sunday parking is free! Family friendly museum with lots of engaging activities for everyone especially kids. My son's favorite parts were the interactive areas that allowed kids to take in the knowledge they were gaining around them. Highly recommend for first museum experiences. The dinosaur bones are awesome! Great experience for our family.
Great Museum actually it is a family friendly museum with lots to learn even kids will enjoy it and they can play and create some crafts.
It’s very vast and covers fossils, cultures, nature, history and etc. Many workshops in the museum that show their efforts made possible for such a amazing museum.
you need to pay for entry, however there various discounts, student, veteran, seniors and etc.
