Attractions

Ride the Ducks of Seattle

Address:  516 Broad Street Seattle, WA 98109 

Open 362 days a year at Seattle Center, take your rental car and drive to Broad Street in Seattle to Ride the Ducks, a WWII amphibious landing craft. They say you haven't seen Seattle until you've seen it from a Duck. During your 90 minute ride on the Duck, you will be taking a tour on land and water while listening to a coast guard certified maritime captain as he or she narrates interesting historical facts and folklore. This is a great fun for the entire family, truly a party on wheels that floats.

Kenmore Air Science Flights 

Address: 950 Westlake Ave N, Seattle, WA 98109, USA

Want to see Seattle from a different view? Drive your rental car to the Kenmore Air Science Flights and take a fun ride! They fly out daily in seaplanes at about 1,000 feet up in the air showing passengers the Space Needle, the downtown waterfront, Green Lake and even more. If you are scared of heights, you can still appreciate the world of aviation by checking out the different airplanes and spacecrafts at the Museum of Flight. They also  have various exhibits including The Boeing Centennial Exhibit. 

EMP Museum

Address: 325 5th Ave N, Seattle, WA 98109, USA

Seattle is also the birthplace of rock 'n' roll icon Jimi Hendrix, and it's highly recommended that you visit the EMP Museum, founded in 2000 by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. Originally intended as a Hendrix museum, it was re-christened “the Experience Music Project” and now features pop music, pop culture and science fiction, too! It's a short drive in your rental car to the EMP building – which itself is a unique sightseeing stop thanks to its amazing architectural design – and it's just a stone's throw away from Seattle's world-famous Space Needle!

Drive your car rental over to the Seattle Waterfront and enjoy a magnificent view! Jump on the old streetcar, visit the wildlife habitat preservation, or have a delicious smoked salmon dinner!
