We had a great time at Pike Place Market and spent a lot of time there. We went back for a second day and explored more levels. There is so much to experience. Be sure to order up one of Uli's Famous Sausages.... delicious! more

We went to the Market on a Saturday afternoon -- maybe not the best idea! It seems like a fascinating place to people-watch, shop, and taste test...but struggling through the crowds puts a damper on that experience. I was thrilled to check out the famous fish market, and was awed by all the paper-wrapped bundles of beautiful flowers people were... more

Visiting this place is a feast for the senses. The colors of the endless flower vendors (with the biggest bouquets being no more than $15). The smells, colors and shapes of the fish markets - which were especially fun for a land locked Texas family. The styles and colors of all the local artisans with tons of hand made, beautiful... more

What a fun and interesting place to visit. You can find about everything in the Market -- fruit, fresh flowers, donuts, fresh fish, crafts, small restaurants, and other odds and ends.

Pike's is spread out over several blocks, but its totally worth it. There are outdoor fresh food areas, lots of eateries of all kinds--french, chocolate, chowder, asian, etc. There's also a great area where you can buy fresh cut flowers for a great price, as well as fresh fish and spices. more

We started each morning visiting and eating breakfast there. We would stop in the afternoon for fruit and items to eat later. We did find later in the day the more congested it became. One of our favorites during our visit... more

Believe all the hype you've heard about this place: it's lovely. There are vendors for every sort of food imaginable: seafood, fruits, veggies, flowers, locally made jams and jellies, and more. Vendors selling handmade arts and crafts line the streets and the halls. Stores sell quirky ethnic products, souvenirs, and more. My favorite, though, was sampling the various offerings from... more

Pike Place Market was my favorite sight to see in Seattle. It was very busy on the weekend so go on the weekdays. Tons of flowers, cool crafts/jewelry, so much to see. Follow a walking tour from a travel book so you don't miss anything. more

We visited the Pike Place Market in August 2007. My wife and I had our six-year-son, and two-year-old daughter with us.
