Chihuly Garden and Glass Museum

At one time this property was called the Fun Forest Amusement Park, but in 2012 it morphed into the more sophisticated outdoor glass gallery of sculptor Dale Chihuly. The Glasshouse, the Garden, and an interior gallery take inspiration from nature. The blown-glass works of art are quite stunning especially with their position beneath the famed Space Needle. It is also the #1 thing to do in Seattle according to internet travel websites which is quite a feat for a major metropolitan area. It's open every day from 12 to 5; admission prices are listed on the website but run approximately $32 per person. (Submitted by PJ Mahan)
