    Amazing views of the Olympic Mountains on a clear day
    Though we’ve visited Seattle numerous times in the past, we had a sunny day and wanted to be outside to enjoy the day. The Olympic Sculpture Garden fit the bill. Although there were a definitely some large size installations, the number of pieces on view seemed small. Given that art is a study in subjective opinion, this reviewer would have appreciated a bit more rendered art, hence the “4”. The area itself, however, was a solid 5! The opportunity to walk along the shore was unexpected and amazing. Efforts to rejuvenate the marine area were great to see. Though there were low-hanging clouds to the west, obscuring our view of the Olympics, this has to be one of the best views Seattle can offer on a clear day!

    Intriguing and Fun with plenty of fresh air.
    Visited: 06/06/2023. This was a really nice park that takes you down near the coast as well, so plenty of fresh sea air. The sculptures themselves are rather interesting and unique, so it was fun to find each of them as we walked through the Park. We like to guess what we think it is about before reading the information given, so it was lots of fun. You also get a nice view of the Space Needle without other buildings around which is lovely. If you need a nice peaceful walk, with some intrigue, this is definitely the place to do it.

    Come For The View and the Walk, Sculptures are Ok
    This is a nice place to walk around -- and there's a couple neat pieces -- but it's also kind of the most underwhelming sculpture park I've been to. I've multiple much better ones coming from the Minneapolis-St Paul area. I may have set my expectations a little too high. However, you can get a couple really nice views. I'm a huge fan of the eyeball chairs.

    A nice park, but not spectacular
    This park is a nice use of space with some interesting sculptures, but I found the park laid out very strangely. Actually following the map and finding the sculptures was really difficult. It was a beautiful day and there were nice views, but it wasn't something I would highly recommend.

This was an easy thing to do on our first day in Seattle (July 4). The art varies from Calder's sculpture to some others that were less . .. um. .. famous. The views of the sound and the shore are also wonderful.

The Chihuly Garden and Glass was more my speed as far as art is concerned, but you can't beat the price of this location: FREE!

I visited for the first time in February. It was pouring down with rain and the building in the park with tables and chairs was a welcome respite. There was free wifi advertised inside, however it was incredibly slow and would not work. There wasn't much to see in the building sadly. There were a few sculptures in the park and the view was nice. Certainly in more pleasant weather, you can take a nice walk in this area, which is not actually too far from the waterfront.

It was such a pleasure walking around the Olympic Sculpture Park! It's a fairly large, outdoor area with some wonderful sculptures displayed all around. The site is a former industrial area which has been completely transformed to a fantastic venue for art. This is a must visit spot and it is free.

We came here on a very hot afternoon--it was such a lively park with sights all around. The sculptures are interesting and have very informative didactics. It seems like a great spot to meet a friend for a walk, go for a run or have a picnic.

A great Seattle feature. I took two friends from Alabama here and they loved it. Unique sculptures and a scenic place to walk near the water. Since it was a gray Seattle day this fall, there was hardly anyone else there and it was nice to have the place to ourselves. The only downside was that the visitor center was having a private event, so the lavatories were unavailable as was the center. Parking at the sculpture park is very limited.

Nice sculpture, and perhaps more importantly, a nice setting for them. Instead of being crammed together like many other sculpture parks, they are judiciously spaced, each with a different setting. Do visit the Paccar Pavilion to get some useful information (if you have not done so before the visit), particularly the distribution of the sculptures. Enjoy!

This park is a short walk from Seattle Center, operated by the Seattle Art Museum and provides a nice walk or stroll by the water with larger modern sculptures. There is no charge to enjoy this park. There were lots of people walking in the area with their dogs. From here you can walk on the boardwalk by the water.

I had visited Seattle many times in the past, but never had I visited Olympic Sculpture Park, despite its position on my regional bucket list. Albeit small, the free park is a must-see for both art/design aficionados and the general public. It’s a genuine asset for the Seattle community.

Sadly I happened to visit when it was sporadically raining, which wasn’t ideal by any means. Thanks to several covered picnic areas and Puget Sound lookout spots, though, visitors can reasonably make do with a bit of a shower. (That’s Seattle, eh??) All in all, please check out the Olympic Sculpture Park; it will be incredible!

This is quite a break from the adjacent business on the piers.
The meandering paths, bridges, lawns lined with small and large art work warrant a visit.
The bay views are a bonus.
The varied gardens offer another attraction.

This was my first visit to Olympic Sculpture Park. It was a nice day, and a nice visit with some nice views, but it’s quite small. Considering the shortest amount of time you can pay for parking is 2 hours, I was expecting more. Probably walked through it less than 15 minutes.
