Every year the Seattle Center put on this great event "Winterfest". Enjoy many free or low cost activities such as; indoor ice skating, numerous choirs/bands/ misc. performers, carousel, ice sculpting, winter train and village,
Winterfest is a holiday activity that my family participates in every year. We love to go to the Seattle Center and drink coffee or hot cocoa while we watch the Winter train travel around its track. The miniature village that the train travels around is full of surprises and great scenes that your family will love to see. And your child can even take a turn driving the train, for a small donation fee.
There's also a ice skating rink and a carousel nearby, and there is often some sort of performance going on on the stage inside the Center House. You never know what you'll find at the Seattle Center, but Winterfest is always worth a visit.
