The boys and I took an excellent field trip to Artist at Play in Seattle Center. Nestled behind the Experience Music Project, it is an enormous playground fitted with ropes, slides, towers, slides and ladders. Any kid that loves to climb will totally dig it! There is a small section for small children, but it is definitely geared for older kids. Younger kids will need some assistance navigating the ropes. My kids disappeared in 2 seconds flat, so if that makes you anxious you might visit once September arrives and the crowds of tourists diminish. I suggest having your kids wear shoes and socks, not sandals or flip flops. This will allow them to climb easily, plus the turf under the structure was extremely hot.
Add a little bit more fun by riding the Monorail and grabbing a bite to eat at the Armory.
