Looking for Children’s Museum directions? Find us just 150 steps from the Space Needle at:

305 Harrison Street
Seattle, WA 98109

The above address is for the entire Seattle Center Campus. If you type this address into your GPS, it will bring you to the Seattle Center Campus, not our building specifically. Because we are located in the Armory building in the middle of Seattle Center, you will need to park and then walk or stroll to our building.

Park anywhere around the Seattle Center either on the street or in one of the Seattle Center parking garages. Follow the signs on the Seattle Center Campus for the Armory. We are located on the lower level of the Armory, same building as the Seattle Center Monorail stop.
