Pike Place Market

Tim Ponisciak said: To get the quintessential Seattle experience, stop by Pike Place Market! See the fishermen toss fish, sample some great coffee and check out some small bookshops. Your kids will love walking around and experiencing the sights and smells of the market. Don't forget to stop by the original Starbucks across the street!

Space Needle

Kristy Pepping said: Visiting Seattle? Your first stop should be the Space Needle. A trip to the top only takes 43 seconds on the elevator. Once you are at the top, you'll enjoy 360 degree views of the city. With your ticket price you receive digital photo downloads and access to the telescopes. If it's too cloudy, a free family photo out front will also suffice!

Combo tickets with nearby museums like Chihuly Garden and Glass or the Pacific Science Center are also available.

Diamond Head - Leahi

Tim Ponisciak said: If you can take the family to Hawaii, Waikiki Beach is a must see! The beach features beautiful sand and surf. There are numerous hotel options along the beach, in all price ranges. You can also take surf lessons, go on an outrigger canoe, and can enjoy some great restaurants! Diamond Head Crater from Waikiki is only a short bus ride plus a moderate-level hike (175 steps); the view from up top is monumental.
