My wife and I have different tastes, but she's a Rock and Roll lover and I'm a sci-fi geek, so this place was awesome for us.

There were items of interest on display that was actually used/worn in movies in the Sci/Fi museum. Some neat guitars in the music museum. Not sure if it was worth $15 per person.

I love everything about the EMP! I think it is so great that people have a place to go to and learn about, and enjoy the history of music. I always enjoy walking in and seeing the statue of guitars...
this was a great way to learn about how music started in seattle and every where else. it was cheap and you can go through more than once so you could take as long as you need
