The EMP Museum , Seattle

EMP has cool architecture, but you don't have to pay the admission to take pictures of it and some of the inside areas. I suggest you spend more time in the science center next door. :)

We loved both the EMP & the Sci Fi Museum. --So much detail for whatever interests you. -- Entertaining and also a great learning experience. I need to go back one day to see all the exhibits in depth.

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. I don't really remember how much they charge since we got the city pass, but the used outfits, such as the space suit used by Spock in star trek the motion picture and the time machine part from Red Dwarf, it was perfect.

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.

Both the EMP and the adjoining Science Fiction museum impressed me greatly. The EMP features a look at modern music history from the fifties up to the nineties with special focus on Jimi Hendrix. The guitars on display provide a wide range of background for the non-musically inclined. The Science Fiction museum had a ton of memorabilia from the wide spectrum of science fiction books, movies and tv shows. While I was visiting they had a special exhibit on robots which was very neat. Also while visiting, make sure to walk around the building and view it from a few blocks away (the top of the space needle works too), the architecture is incredible and unlike anything I have ever seen before.

Being married to a musician and being a classical musician made this place a 'MUST VISIT' on our recent trip to Seattle. The sound booths and the 'jam' areas are fantastic...we had so much fun. It's good for advanced and beginners, much better than stuffy and expensive music lessons! The history of the guitar was amazing as well with everything from steel Hawaiians to stand-up eletric bass! The other exhibits weren't as impressive. The heavy metal section was a bit odd-kept focusing on bands no one had heard of. There was some other historical segments with 'Hard Rock Cafe'-type memorabilia. Hardly any mention of Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Nirvana...thought that was a bit odd. The price of admission was really high, probably to keep all those interactive instruments working!?!?

I LOVE THAT PLACE!!!! If you love music, you will love the EMP. I go there almost every year. It has amazing music...... a "must-see" place to see if you are visiting in Seattle..

The EMP is a good experience but it is not worth the money if you plan on going there for an hour or two. If you are not into music it is still a cool experience.

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
