Got Kids?

It's time to play!

Now in it's 23rd year, Seattle Center's annual "carnival of fun" is one of spring's most anticipated events for kids of all ages.

Whirligig! runs daily, beginning at 11 AM. There is a minimal fee charged for rides (single ride tickets, all day passes or toddler passes are available). Face painters and balloon artists charge a nominal fee.

HOURS Monday-Thursday, 11 AM-4 PM
Friday-Sunday, 11 AM-6 PM

TIP Avoid the crowds and come play Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. Also, spring break for most King County schools runs April 11-15. For those looking for a "quieter" Whirligig! experience, mark your calendar!

COST
$6.50 All Day Ride Pass
$1.25 Single Ride Ticket
$4.00 All Day Toddler Pass (good for ages 3 and under, on selected rides)

TIP Looking for the best value? Purchase an all-day ride pass. This gives access to all Whirligig! rides throughout the day. Make a day of it at Seattle Center - have lunch in Center House or picnic outside by the International Fountain. Perhaps visit another Seattle Center attraction, like the Children's Museum or Pacific Science Center.

Kids ride "free" on Whirligig! Free Ride Thursdays and opening day (March 24). However, free ride days apply only to Whirligig! rides inside Seattle Center House and not the Fun Forest.

Seattle Center's Whirligig! is made possible in part by Seattle Center's Community Partner-The Seattle Times. Generous support provided by CenterFund with additional support provided by Radio Disney AM 1250 and Seattle's Child. Entertainment for Today:
