Seattle Center Winterfest: Holiday Ice Festivities & Winter Train

About this adventure

Winterfest anchors Seattle's urban holiday season across the 74-acre Seattle Center campus beneath the iconic Space Needle. Centered around Fisher Pavilion, the Armory, and the Mural Amphitheatre, the month-long winter celebration delights families with massive holiday lighting displays, student music ensembles, and live outdoor weekend ice-sculpting demonstrations. Inside the heated Armory, children can take turns operating the miniature locomotives of the historic Winterfest Train & Village, a turn-of-the-century diorama. On the South Fountain Lawn, kids can ride a vintage carousel, and parents can sample warm cider and holiday snacks. The entire campus is flat and completely stroller-accessible, with seamless connections to the Seattle Center Monorail.
