On the first Thursday of September we took advantage of going to the Experience Music Project and Science Fiction Museum in Seattle for free at their shared facility saving us $30.00. Looks like the next All Access Thursday will be October 1st from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
The EMP is a great hands-on experience where you can pretend you're playing in a rock band or try out different musical instruments. They also have a plethora of musical history and fun facts. For only having visited the EMP once before when it first opened in 2000 not too much as changed.
The Sci-Fi Museum opened in 2004 and while small is jam packed with anything and everything from Star Trek to Star Wars, Planet of the Apes, Red Dwarf, video games, movies, books, etc they've got it.
And of the things I really like about the Sci-Fi Museum is that they've made it into a unique space with tunnel like corridors that makes you feel transplanted right onto one of the Battlestar Galactica ships. Whatever your sci-fi fancy or fantasy you'll find it here but the experience will be all too short. Maybe one day they'll expand!
The EMP/Sci-Fi Museum is located at the Seattle Center next to the Space Needle, Key Arena, Seattle Center House, and the fountain. The location is a great area to spend an afternoon soaking up the sun (while it lasts) and listening to the music and water pumping out of the fountain while kids and like-minded adults try not to get wet. The center house offers quick bites to eat and if you have a sweet tooth plenty of candy and fudge to keep you going on a sugar rush for the rest of the day.
