Food, Fun, and Views on Pier 54 with Ivar’s Fish Bar, Ivar’s Acres of Clams full-service restaurant and lounge, Harley-Davidson, Premier Meat Pies, Simply Seattle, and Ye Olde Curiosity Shop.  Great State Burger has just opened in the old spot of Kidd Valley on the pier.  Best place in Seattle to watch the ferries and feed the seagulls.

Experience one of the most advanced, full-immersion aerial movie theaters in the world on Seattle’s waterfront. Soar with the eagles here! Open until 10pm weekends during high season.

Did you know that the US Coast Guard has a museum at Pier 36? It’s a precious gem for anyone with an interest in the service, boats, or the maritime industry. Here you will find the world’s biggest collection of USCG badges, many available for sale. The models, stories, photos, and items found here represent a rich NW maritime tradition. Have fun!

Watch the boats, fish, and flowers along one remarkable, man-made waterway. Ballard Locks are a perfect destination for family and friends visiting from out of town. Head to historic Ballard Avenue afterwards for a mind-boggling number of restaurant options.

The Ballard Locks were built over 100 years ago. At the time, it was the second largest cut of its kind in the world, second only to the Panama Canal. Without these locks and canal, Lake Washington and Lake Union would be disconnected from the Puget Sound for boat traffic. Although locks and canals are common in parts of Europe, the Ballard Locks stand alone on the west coast for their scale. There is a park, fish ladder, and botanical garden on the large federal property.

If you have never seen the locks from the water, then you can actually go through the locks on a local cruise boat. It is great fun and a totally different perspective. See: Argosy Cruises (WA residents, check for local resident discount).

Skiers will feel right at home in the gondolas attached to Seattle’s Great Wheel as they soar 200 feet above the waterfront for exceptional night time views of Seattle, the ferries, stadiums, West Seattle, and beyond.

Did you know that you can do a corporate takeover of the entire pier for groups and teams of over 400 people? It’s a great way to celebrate a special occasion and bring people together. You can even request a special light show on the wheel as part of the deal!
