Additional Information & Description
Seattle Center Monorail connects downtown Seattle with Seattle Center in just two minutes. It is the fastest way to travel between the two, turning the journey from the city’s downtown streets to its arts and culture hub into a short ride rather than a separate excursion.
An elevated ride along 5th Avenue
The Monorail has carried passengers on this connection since 1962. Its 0.9-mile route runs along 5th Avenue, taking you high above the streets for views of Seattle’s skyline and iconic sights. The ride itself adds a different perspective to the journey: you see the city from an elevated position before stepping off to continue exploring on foot.
Arrive at Seattle Center’s attractions
Seattle Center Station brings you to a hub with more than 30 attractions. The Space Needle, Chihuly Garden and Glass, Pacific Science Center and Museum of Pop Culture are among the places here. For a visit focused on these sights, the Monorail provides a direct connection from downtown to the area where they are located, with the Space Needle and Chihuly Garden and Glass right nearby when you get off.
