Spring Break Seattle Center Whirligig!

by Lynn Glessner

whirligig.jpgJust in time for spring break kids bouncing off the walls, comes the annual Seattle Center Whirligig! I’m normally not a fan of going “all the way downtown” (insert big sigh) but I may be desperate by this point. And the kids think going to the park ‘n ride and taking the bus downtown is a big adventure. (My real goal is to not have to drive and park downtown.)

The 2008 Seattle Center Whirligig is March 28 – April 13. There will be super-sized inflatable rides, roaming clowns, face painters and FREE entertainment, turning the Center House into a colorful house of bounce. A special Toddler Zone is also available.

Admission for the inflatable rides is $7.25 for an all-day pass, $4.25 for toddlers and $1.50 for a single ride. Kids ride FREE at Seattle Center Whirligig! on Thursday (hint, it’s a colorful rainbow parachute).

Hours:
Monday – Thursday, 11 a.m. – 4 p.m.
Friday – Sunday, 11 a.m. – 6 p.m.

For the standard small print and thanks to sponsors:
This collection of entertainment is produced by Seattle Center and is presented with generous support from Seattle’s Child magazine. Additional support is provided by Radio Disney AM 1250, Seattle Center Fund and the City of Seattle.
