This is a great place to spend an hour or two on a rainy day with a toddler. My almost one year old son had a great time in the "Discovery Bay" area, which has lots of stuff geared for the age 0-3 set. It seemed like most of the museum was for kids age 3 to early elementary school. But "Discovery Bay" is more than sufficient for a toddler's short attention span! We are looking forward to going back.
Pros: Lots of interactive, stimulating stuff for kids
Cons: Parking is a pain

This place is fantastic for the birth - 4 range. There is so much to do and see that we go at least once a month. All of the exhibits and pretend play keep my toddler entertained time and again and that's all I ask!
Pros: Variety, Learning Value
Cons: Toddler-focused, opens at 10AM

The walk arounf the rock is littered with gum and dirt. The place should really be maintained better. All in all, still a great place for learning. A simple fix on most of the machines would render them working and impress the children a lot more. Perhaps someone should volunteer to fix some of the older leaky equipment. The children still have fun as they are want to do, but the experience could be made all the better with a little tlc.
Pros: fun, informative, child sized
Cons: dirty, many things broken, some exhibits closed

It, like much of Seattle Center, needs to be overhauled. Take som of the admission price or ride money and mak it a little worthwhile. Been there twice with my little girl and won't go back. Went once and was a bit disappointed, tried it again and she seemed bored too. Maybe it is better for school class field trips, but I doubt it. Take some cash and give it to the kids instead of all into the other rebuilding they are doing there. Unless it is part of a future plan...
Pros: tried to do something
Cons: boring, better to play in, fountain
