We visited this and the sci-fi museum. This is great place for teens and adults who appreciate rock music and history. There is a nice Jimi Hendrix display. You could spend hours here listening to recorded stories and information from musicians. The guitar stack to ceiling artwork is great. I would not bring young children here. more

My favorite part was the Hatch Poster exhibit. And the Jim Henson Exhibit at the SciFi Museum (puke!). If you love marketing/advertising, there's so much history and good stuff in this place. Derek really wanted to go because of all of the Hendrix stuff. But, I could have done without. But, afterward I was so glad we did it. It... more

The metallic shine of the building lures you in. What follows is a disco sensation, and hundreds of guitars held together in mid-air. After buying your tickets (a steep $15 for what you're about to get), you are welcomed into the best exhibit in the 'museum', a tribute to Jimi Hendrix. After that, there is a timeline of how the... more

This museum is great destination right next to the space needle. You could spend hours and hours going through all the interactive experiences. I was very impressed by the museum and would recommend others to go. You also get admission to the sci-fi museum (which is less impressive). If you are going to the space needle, stop on by. No... more

My husband was in awe. If you are a grunge or Jimmy Hendrix fan, you will love this place. Just don't take pictures in the galleries or you will get yelled at. :-) The outer architecture makes a great place for pictures. more

I learned things about rock history that I would've never found out, if I didn't go here. Very amazing. more

There are actually 2 attractions for same price of admission. The Sci-Fi museum had an exhibit on robots which was great and the facility was astounding. The EMP or Experience Music Project is really cool. The building is colorful and architecturally amazing. It's right at the base of the Space Needle, and on a rainy day (go figure), it's perfect... more

after living in/near seattle for several years, i finally made it to the emp. maybe i'm just not into music enough, but i didn't really love the place. some of the stuff was pretty neat to look at (like the big guitar sculpture), but walking down halls of music paraphernalia and watching little videos with headphones on, not really my... more

The EMP was interesting and the music lab part was fun. I liked the drum room where it actually taught me how to play some basic riffs. The vocal one was total crap as it only had 4 songs to sing along with. It was a little crowded and some people are obnoxious and don't care how long they commandeer... more
