This place was worth every penny, not only was it FUN, but it was over the top cool. We didnt really interact with the employees much or eat at their restaurant, so I can not attest to those things. But what was inside was incredible, highly recommend.

Great experience. Amazing display of artefacts perfect arrangements. Interesting activities. Had a blast.

It was a fun place to visit, and it wasnt crowded. Also, lots of employees so if you have questions they can point you in the right direction. It definitely took me back to my childhood, but it also had new age things like Mindcraft and an indie video game room. I recommend it!

This was absolutely so much fun! If you love all things horror and sci-fi and fantasy and pop culture! Must come! (Was here in 2017)

I was a lucky one to visit it in September before they closed again. Amazing art. Such a shame they have to close again.

This museum is amazing. Seems so small but so big inside. Three levels, quite a few different exhibit, great customer service and staff. This was way too dope

What an intriguing and super rad Museum! When I visited they had an awesome Marvel Exhibit with costumes and props actually used in Marvel movies! I got photos of real life props and costumes worn by the (super cool) actors. They have awesome music interactions, gaming sections, fan favorite parts and most importantly they have awesome exclusive exhibits! The Museum of Pop Culture is a very fun visit. From crazy creations to pop culture icons the MofPC is utterly awesome!

Really great museum, impressed with how they adhere to social distancing and safety. A great rainy day activity for Seattle! While you are at it, check out the aquarium too.

The museum is amazing the music exhibit was amazing you get to play any instrument you get free studio sessions.the horror movie section was also very cool,you got to see how they were made and some of the props there was so many cool thing to see but I can not name all of them.

This place is amazing they a horror exhibit and i loved it! This was one of my favorite museums!

MoPOP has fair prices, a safe tactic for preventing the spread of Covid-19, and spectacular exhibits. Although a few exhibits can get overcrowded at times, the museum has a lot of space to feel comfortable in. I

Very fun museum with a variety of exhibits that families or individuals can enjoy. I got my ticket through the Seattle City Pass, but it would be well worth visiting without.

This place was pretty interesting and you could easily spend HOURS exploring everything. This museum has something for everyone. They have a Minecraft exhibit currently thats really popular. Lots of musicians to discover as well. A lot of the exhibits are interactive. If you like to make or record your own music head on up to the Sound Lab!

Many popular culture references from movies, games, music, art and fashion. Good place for a fun weekend. I has movie items from horror, science fiction, thriller, fantasy and drama of movies. It has guitars and many displays for famous musicians. It has a music lab for you to make some music using real instruments in sound proof rooms.

Even I didnt know most of the groups and movies presented in the museum( I am not as familiar with American pop culture being a foreigner), it was very fun. Very well taking care of building, super clean facility, cool interactive exhibitions.

Price is the off putting factor here for me. It wasnt worth the price at all, even though the exhibits were fine, it didnt take very long to get through.

Surprisingly easy to visit even with COVID restrictions. Staff was friendly and helpful. The reduced number of visitors made for an imperceptible experience as we could easily take pictures and slowly look at all the items of interest.

Just outstanding. Along with the old, it also holds some of the newest stuff that thrills you up. Staff and service are just great. Just the best one. I will surely come back here.

They have awesome music interactions, gaming sections, fan favorite parts and most importantly they have awesome exclusive exhibits! The Museum of Pop Culture is a very fun visit.

Absolutely fabulous place to go!! With many galleries to explore and look at including a hands on music lab. Had an amazing time and well worth the time!! Friendly and helpful staff. Parking available across the street and adjacent to the Seattle Center!! Makes for a wonderful day!

Awesome place! I lucked out and stumbled across the soft opening weekend. Standard exhibits were there as well as a new to me one on tattoos. That was pretty cool.

Love this place! Take your whole family if you can. The memberships are worth it! Just wish they were a little cheaper but I the cost is paid for in 1 to 2 trips.

Really impressed with how they adhere to social distancing and safety. A great rainy day activity for Seattle!

It was pretty cool and the building is fabulous. Hot and stuffy with stairs to climb made wearing the mask uncomfortable for the duration. The museum has taken plenty of steps to promote social distancing but there were still a lot of people around.

This is a great place. Wonderful, educational, museum. It was cold and raining outside so we get a chance to spend almost a whole day exploring the museum. It takes you through the world of music that changed history to classic cinema we’ve grown to love. We had a lot of fun there. Price for an adult is $28, and 25 for student. If you place to visit this place be ready to spend at least 2 hours there. They have 3 floors with multiple rooms and different themes. It was a great day, will definitely be back when they renovate the exhibition

I really loved this place. If you are into music and movies this is the place for you. It holds specific exhibitions for local bands such as Nirvana and Pearl Jam. You can also experience the sounds of some iconic guitars and get to know the artists behind them. If you are into sci-fi, fantasy and horror, you will not be disappointed either. Definitely recommend the visit.

Not our first visit and certainly not our last. We went on opening weekend of Minecraft: The Exhibition and had a fantastic time. The time and effort that went into building the exhibit can be seen in the quality of the pieces. Lots of picture opportunities. Great for small kids and teens alike. Its only in Seattle for a year before going on tour so make sure you stop by the museum to check it out. Oh yeah, and everything else they have is AMAZING too ♡

This museum has a decent overview of all things popular today. Even if you feel that you are not too involved in the pop culture, you will likely find something you connect with here anyway. Just don’t expect it to go into details or anything granular. There are also a few interactive areas here including the sound section and the game section.

Very clean a lot of staff cleaning the museum very cool exhibits

I absolutely love this museum! The exhibits were all really cool and showcased a lot of unique artifacts such as film props and costumes. I particularly enjoyed the exhibit on horror, as its a genre that has contributed greatly to our culture but is often viewed as less worthy of study than other media genres. The special exhibit on Marvel was really cool too! It was interesting to see how the stories have been translated/changed for different media formats as well as over time.

Great place! Would recommend going if you’re into music and whatever is their season exhibition.

The museum opens at 10 but people start lining up at around 9:45. We happened to be there early since we went to snap some pics of the Space Needle beforehand. We bought our tickets the same day, online, and saved a couple of bucks ($28 for an adult vs. the $30 walk up). I was also able to use my student ID ($25), you just have to show it along with your ticket when you enter.Be prepared to spend at least 2 hours there. There are a lot of cool exhibits, like the tattoos, Nirvana, horror and sci-fi movies. (Also if you’re a Jimi Hendrix or Pearl Jam fan, they have exhibits for those as well. They’re really going for a Washington musicians theme here). My favorite was probably the Sound Lab where you can take a quick music lesson and even record your own demos in a sound room.If I were to re-do it, I would go on a weekday so that there are less kids running around since I doubt schools would be taking class trips here. Definitely worth a visit though! Just make sure to come early so you can avoid crowds.

Four Stars would have been Five but 30$ a person was steep.If it was comperable to a movie theater ticket 14.50-15$ the volume of attendees would be incredible and more people could enjoy their local PopCulture History.I was upset to see exhibits removed because of political ties/personal feelings. After all this is a museum and that felt like historical censorship. Im sad to see the museum renamed. EMP better described what this place is. Experience Music Project for ever.

Very cool. The Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Horror portions were awesome.

Maybe the coolest collection of pop art in the world! This is a must see when in Seattle. The building itself is beautiful from the outside. We went on a Wednesday afternoon and it wasnt crowded at all. There are so many cool movie artifacts and props. The sci fi room, horror room, nirvana, and pearl jam sections are awesome! So.much to see and take in. History of tattoos was cool as well.

Amazing museum! I saw the “Scared to Death” exhibition and it was fascinating. Top floor reserved for Pearl Jam.

1 of my favorite tourist destinations as a first time visitor to Seattle, we loved the exhibits but did not like how it only opens for weekends. It is worth the visit for sure though

The best of it all tells all great too

A proper nerd and music fan paradise, located next to the famous Space Needle. Spread over several floors the museum has many original props and costumes (everything from Star Wars to Gremlins to Marvel) and many original instruments from the likes of Kurt Cobain and Jimi Hendrix (check out their tower of guitars!) . Youll also find interactive hands-on exhibits for making music or just having fun with the family.

Everything was what I had expected to see.The day I visited they had a hands on Minecraft exhibit which my 3 year old loved.

Loved the Horror film exhibition! Had a lot of interesting substance to the psychology and cultural fascination with horror.

Weve always enjoyed visiting and experiencing the EMP/MoPop on our visits to Seattle. Now that we live nearby I had to buy the family membership to show our support. This is a great place to bring friends and family for a day of inspiration and amusement.

I loved the Museum of Pop Culture! Their exhibitions are awesome! Specially the Horror, Fantasy and Nirvanas were my personal favorites.

Good experience with some really cool exhibits. Also some things that I just couldnt get excited about, personally. Definitely takes some time getting through everything so ding plan you just run through it. If youre nearby, its worth checking out.

Awesome, it was a great experience visiting this museum, lots of stuff to see 3 floors full of music, movies and entertainment. Make sure you plan your visit right it closes at 5 PM so if youre driving from afar take this into consideration, so you can see and experience everything there is. Make sure you go to the shop there is two inside lots of cool stuff and exclusive items.

Definitely a nice place to stop by and get a quick picture! Im glad i was able to stop by this place real quick.

Always love coming here. COVID-19 guidelines are also very reasonable

The museum is an adventure for all ages. It has some of the most timeless memorabilia known, as it relates to pop culture. See things from Jimmy Hendrix’s passport to Dorthy’s dress and a ghost busting proton pack. Lots of interactive exhibits around sound. A bit on the pricey side for me but really plenty to see for you money.

I Enjoyed every bit of it.. Especially the Jimi Hendrix & PEARL JAM exhibits. All U need is 1.5 hours to tour it thru..

Amazing place, a must do in my opinion if visiting Seattle. When we were there, they had the Minecraft exhibit and the horror exhibit! Both were very cool

An incredible museum, a must see in Seattle. You can get $2 off of your ticket if you purchase it online and there is a discount for students. Make sure to check out the Sound Lab on third floor. You can play with different instruments and have lots of fun.

There is something for everyone here. The incredible exhibits are often interactive but always interesting. There is an exhibit for Fantasy, Science Fiction and Horror as well as video games and a great deal of amazing information on locally born artists (Prince, Kurt Cobain, and Jimi Hendrix, to name a few). There is a rotating exhibit that costs a bit extra but is generally worth it. Give yourself lots of time to go through the museum; 3 hours at minimum. Wear comfortable shoes and be ready for many photo opportunities!

Would suggest spending 1 hr watching the Jimmy hendrix experience. Great collection of hand written lyrics on hotel and flight notepads, truly encapsulates the wild life he was living, always on the go, and yet he simply hoped his lover would remember his gypsey eyes.

EXCEPTIONAL! So much to do & see!Our family went for the Minecraft exhibit. It was FANTASTIC! Everything about Minecraft & then some. We learned quite a bit, an how the game actually HELPS others & different countries.The middle of the museum had guitars from floor to ceiling. EPIC!!Then theres the music floor. Pretty much an enlarged studio with instruments, vocals, & sound boards.You have a sci-fy section, horror section, & fantasy section with INCREDIBLE displays. We had a blast & only wish wed had more time. Thank you MoPop for a fantastic day of learning

Prepare for Seattle’s ultimate nostalgia trip - if you’re a music or movie buff this place will fill your whole afternoon. They have a ton of original movie props from some of the most popular movies from the last forty years, alongside some very engaging sets. The music history sections are interesting but the interactive parts aren’t that fun - basically it’s just karaoke or a drum set you can mindlessly tap on.

What a great museum. Great for the teens/adults, not so much little kids! Used CityPass no issues. Good 2-3 hrs to look at everything.

Very interesting museum with plenty of things to do inside. Easily spent close to 4 hours here. Very family friendly, able to get the different generations come together and enjoy the whole setup.There are adult, seniors, student, military, and child members pricing.

My favorite experience through my trip. I started my trip by visiting this museum in May. Theres so much to see. The sound lab was so much fun for my friends and I. Its a must and there are surrounding museums and the Space Needle. Lots to do in the area.

What a fun museum that I was able to visit with family during my recent trip to Seattle in Nov. 2019! They even had a sweet Minecraft exhibit! We checked out the many different genres and loved the IMAX sized screen playing music videos. I loved the gigantic guitar pillar and the cool Nirvana display with so many cool souvenir spots too. I also enjoyed the indie games and the horror film and fantasy and Sci fi sections too!

My favorite place to visit in Seattle! The museum has something for everyone. I geeked out in the Movie Fantasy area - think of Lord of the Rings, Princess Bride, Harry Potter. Then of course, the music... Nirvana, Prince, Jimmy Hendrix. I seriously spent almost 7 hours touring the museum and I feel like there was still things I didn’t see. Definitely a must if you visit Seattle!

This was neat! Didn’t know what to expect at first but I’m glad the locals kept telling me to go here! It was probably one of the best museums I’ve been too, in a while!

This is my 2nd time here and it was again so amazing. You can find every about pop culture here from guitar players to movie character’s props and spooky creatures. In every section, you can find a different world. I liked the new exhibit of “A Queen Within Adorned Archetypes”. It is a must place to visit in Seattle. Dazzling and mysterious!

This museum is totally worth the visit. We spent about 3 hours maneuvering fairly steadily through each exhibit. This museum covers a lot of pop culture from music to movies to video games. The museum is part of the City Pass which makes this value even more worth it!

Lots of unique things to see. Would recommend for most everyone.

What an interesting and fun exploration! Informative and creative exhibits on several fantastic subjects. Happy we went! Restaurant is nice, so you can eat there and spend an entire day if not two!

Always a fun trip. new things to see every time

Awesome museum! Loved the Marvel exhibit and Nirvana room. Great to see 80’s punk get some love as well!The Sound Room was awesome. My older teen daughters and I really enjoyed it! Got me motivated to dust off the Strat when I get home!

A cool place to spend the day. Lots of interesting things to see and the staff was friendly and informative. I really enjoyed the horror section and it was a nice bonus that they have an umbrella coat check.

Absolute five star experience and one of the best museums in the world in my opinion. The Museum of Pop Culture just have something for everyone - not just for adults but for kids as well. Big gratitude to the late Paul Allen who found this fascinating museum. I was personally intrigued by the Nirvana exhibits. Our guide Jenn (self proclaimed Nirvana geek!) gave us a content rich 45-min tour of the full history of the band. Kids enjoyed the Sci-Fi, gaming and fantasy sections. I also got a taste of the Pearl Jam exhibits (even though I am not a huge Pearl Jam fan). The kids thoroughly enjoyed the Sound Lab and they got to experience drumming and guitar 101 as well as a wide range of sound experiments. We spent close to three hours there. Highly recommend for adults (ok guys mainly) and kids.

I so enjoyed it. Staff nice. Great place.

It was cool to see the wide variety of items on display at this museum. The architecture of the building is really cool. I especially enjoyed the music rooms where you could play instruments.

It cost $28, they should add so much but the what they have now is amazing. I checked everything in 2 hours. Its extremely difficult to find parking or otherwise youd walk a long distance. The map is kinda weird and complicated. Its cool that is very close to the space Needle.

So full of fun and interesting pieces of music, movies and more! Take a few hours to explore it all!

Really great exhibits with a ton of interesting things to see. The Marvel exhibit in particular was really amazing. So many great pieces of memorabilia and costumes! The wait to get into the Marvel stuff was a bit long, but that was because of the Blue Jays fans in town. The SciFi, Fantasy, and Horror exhibits were also top notch. Staff here are all very friendly and helpful.

I LOVE this amazing place because it never fails to capture my attention for hours. You will see why people come from all over the world to be a part of this magical tribute to the artist, the creative genius that we all share as humans. Get inspired, get fired up about possibilities, get MOPOP.

This place has some amazing facts...check it out

If you are interested in pop culture, youll easily be satisfied by this place. Declined the Minecraft exhibit but there was more than enough to enjoy.The music portion is heavily Seattle-influenced (obviously why) but gives a good depth understanding of the bands and what made them successful. Constantly changing exhibits in regards to this.There are exhibitions for horror, fantasy and sci-fi that are very amusing with very authentic displays of costumes and props.It does cost $30 to get in, but its worth it if you are looking for something unusual and have a few hours to kill.

Great place. Great exhibits. I could spend all day in here. Fun for all.When you go allow enough time to see everything. Also be prepared to pay extra to see the Marvel exhibit. It is not included in the standard admission to the museum. It is definately worth it.

If youre looking for hours of fun and learning then youll find it here at the Museum of Pop Culture.When I visited I saw the Star Trek exhibit and it was totally worth the ticket price. I was very impressed with the history collected and effort put into presenting all the wardrobes. The transporter room was also really cool to do.Beyond the special exhibits youll find Rock concerts, music videos, and of course food. This place is hot, so bring a light jacket and bottle water.

Movies, Music, Pop Culture!It’s all here and it’s fun and brilliant.First, you’re getting a Frank Gehry design. You can spot his work from a mile away and it will leave your jaw on the floor. It’s that beautiful.Once you enter, you’re greeted with film memorabilia from horror films, sci-fi films, Prince, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, a musical jam session, and much more.This isn’t a museum you go to on a rainy day to kill time. No. This is a must for anyone that’s in Seattle. Hey, even if you don’t want to go in, just walk around the building and be amazed by the gorgeous architecture.

2nd time here! Great experience. Buy ticket online for a discount. I would say to experience everything, reserving about 2 hours is plenty. Parked at Seattle Center parking lot which was $15 and we were there for about two hours.

A lot of fun. Full of Sci fi memorabilia. Fun trip to see all the wonderful items from all ranges of Sci fi shows and movies. When I went they had a huge section on Star Trek. Truly a once in a life time experience. Worth the trip alone but dont forget the Space Needle!

We did a corporate event here last night and the guests really enjoyed it! There is a lot of memorabilia that is super cool! I saw the Terminator and Back to the Future Hover Boards! There is a giant screen with a great sound system that’s awesome as well! The food was pretty good as well it was catered by Wolf Gang Puck!

Loved it! My husband is a huge Pearl Jam fan and if we would’ve come a couple weeks later we would have seen the exhibit. However, there was so much to see, from horror movies to video games to music, it was a very cool place.

So fun! Even my husband who hates museums had a blast, especially with the music exhibits that showcase artists from his youth and the sci-fi and fantasy halls. My son loved the sound lab so much; it is very interactive. We may have a new guitar player in the family now because of the interest that was sparked there.

This place is fun for all ages! Lots of exhibits that you can read or just look through. You could spend a couple hours here. Its also free re-entry in case you need to leave and come back!

The museum is neat. They have 11 exhibits. It is interactive. Very different feel and vibe from most museums. Very open and each exhibit is separated. They have plenty of spots to sit and enjoy the displays. I particularly enjoyed the science fiction area. Referenced the history of it and how it shaped the movie industry. The only thing I would like to see is longer hours.

Really fun museum. Our favorites were the horror area and the sound lab. In the sound lab you get to experiment with playing with guitars hooked up to amps, drum kits, guitars and vocals. Theres also a gaming area, fantasy, and sci fi area which are pretty cool.

Cool spot to check out!

A really fun museum a short distance from the space needle. About half is dedicated to music, and the other half sci-fi and fantasy. There are also two gift shops and a restaurant/bar. I especially enjoyed the movie memorabilia from Lord of the Rings, Princess Bride, Star Wars, Harry Potter and Star Trek. The big screen with music videos is also an entertaining place to sit and rest a bit. Plan on about 2 to 2.5 hours to see it all.

One of the most unique museums I have ever visited...the horror exhibit was quite eye opening for us as was the fantasy exhibit...they did have some Monty Python pieces there but I did not see any Game of Thrones which surprised me, a few Harry Potter items were on display and that was cool to see...the Prince exhibit was really amazing and did him proud...the permanent exhibit on Pearl Jam was awesome, I wanted to see more of the other Grunge bands like Alice in Chains (my favorite) and Soundgarden, but alas not much there...I wish the DFW area would find or build unique museums like this one...

Lots of interactive exhibits, tons of local music stuff, and a great variety of things to see!

This place was absolutely awesome, very cool exhibits and definitely a spot to visit if youre in Seattle.

This museum is AMAZING! My favorite section is the music section, although there are many other attractions here. The customer service is fantastic and the museum is neat and tidy. Ive seen different attractions in the times Ive come so I would imagine that the museum rotates the different parts of culture. I learned alot about music and alot about how pop culture affects everyday life. Im looking forward to returning in 2020.

If you’re in the area for the space needle or Chihuly garden, then you should definitely check this place out. They have a Minecraft exhibit that is not included with the CityPass admission, but it’s only an additional $6 more. I recommend going in if you have kids. Great place to spend 2-3 hours.

This has been a life long dream to come here. It was worth every minute I was there. Seriously, it was fantastic. I could go on with more adjectives of how wonderful of a place it is but, if youre a music lover like myself, its like Disney Land.Do yourself a favor and pop on over to MoPop, you wont regret it.

What an amazing place, truly a gem of a the city. Everything is so well done there. I was even more impressed with the their audio setups. Whoever they hired really took the time to get every detail. For example you can hear music throughout the first floor. But when distances get large you often get a weird effect where it would sound off because the audio delays werent correct. Lots of little things. Never mind the fact that they have almost every significant sci fi anything there. Also the marvel exhibit was really worth the money. It was amazing to see the original pages and costumes. 11/10

The horror section was awesome!! I would go back to visit that section again. Multiple guitars, drums, keyboards and booths where you can jam and sing privately.

We spent most of the day here, exploring the different exhibits. Great variety for all ages, thorough Nirvana exhibit (my favorite), fun interactive music and video game exhibits also. The Wolfgang Puck cafe and bar had decent food and drinks as well. So glad we made this part of our trip to Seattle!

This was a very fun place. We went as part of the city pass tour. Pleasantly surprised by how immersive and informative the exhibits were, something for everyone from movies to music and more. Each exhibit had something interactive to do and photo ops. Would recommend to all.
