“I love the MoPop for all of the activities and experiences it has to offer. Things for kids and things for adults who are big kids, like me. Especially performing in the music room with our family.” - Luther Connie - "If you visit MoPop, you won’t want to miss out on the, “Music room and the Guitar Collection”!

Pike Place Market

Connie - "My favorite thing about visiting Pike Place is, just being in the city, taking in all the sights and sounds. Seeing new vendors every time we go. If you love coffee, the original Starbucks is a place to stop although Ghost Alley Espresso Bar is always our spot!” You can find Ghost Alley Espresso Bar right next to the famous Gum Wall, which is a popular tourist spot. You won’t want to miss that Seattle photo op! “Pike Place Market never gets old, and being that it has a new public space for viewing the mountains and the water front, will make it even more timeless.” - Luther Make sure to venture down below the market floor and visit the Golden Age Collectibles, the Worlds Oldest Comic Shop! You won’t regret it. You’ll also find a magic shop and a Giant’s shoe!
