EMP Seattle - You can love it or you can dismiss it. It has the possibility of being a shrine and it also reeks of technology. True intellect is, however, the ability to hold contradictory thoughts in ones mind simultaneously and still live in peace inside your head.
Thus, while the technology overtures at EMP Seattle sometimes tend to irritate ...

I stood outside and wondered if I should give it a try after reading the bad reviews before I arrived in town. My wife isn't a music fan at all but said she would go with me if I wanted to see it. I decided since I didnt know when I would be back I would go see it. I was totally dissappionted in the whole thing. The 'Tower of Guitars' ...

I took my family to EMP on July 20, 2007. First it cost a fortune, then parking cost a fortune - but luckily we didn't show up the next day - parking was $20 regardless of how long you stayed because of the "Bite of Seattle" thing going on.

We did not make it to the sci fi museum, because I think EMP was so tedious and trying on ...

From recent reviews I was a little skeptic but our family really enjoyed ourselves. The $15 price was a decent value for both musuems. If your into music history and hands on, it is a good time.

A couple nice Hendrix bits, but other than that its like everything else about Seattle...overhyped, overpriced, boring. Not worth the extravagant admission price. If you want one of the computerized audio guides with headphones you have to pay even more?

I loved EMP. very amazing stuff inside, including Nirvana's first recording contract with sub-pop records, hand written lyrics and a ton of other treasures, also there was an amazing Hendrix portion. and the floor where you go, and play instruments in "sound-proof" rooms! I had a blast, and I will definately come again, although if ...
