Chihuly Garden and Glass

Note to self

• Not recommended for toddlers. Be sure to not touch anything, they are sticklers since everything is glass. It can be challenging to keep toddlers away from the fragile displays.
• Get the City Pass and save on admission at Seattle’s top attractions (including the Space Needle, Seattle Aquarium, Museum of Pop Culture, Woodland Park Zoo, Chihuly Garden, and Pacific Science Center).
• Local artists provide glass blowing demonstrations in the courtyard.
• Ticket times are every 15 minutes. If you want to feel like you have the whole museum to yourself, show up a few minutes after your entry time!
• If you’re a WA resident, you can purchase a discounted ticket.
• Purchase the combo ticket for the Space Needle and The Chihuly Gardens (at the kiosk) to save about $18 per adult for the two attractions. Tickets are discounted after 4:00 p.m.
• It takes a good hour to go through the premises. They also have a food service inside, with a small bar with adult beverages and refreshments.
• You can go on the audio tour (bring your own headphones!) or watch behind-the-scenes videos.
• A photographer will come around to take your picture in front of one of the glass pieces. You’ll get one picture for free!
• Their website has recommended parking garages or you can use metered street parking.
• There is a gift shop and a pizza restaurant available to guests at the end of the self guided tour.
