CHINASHOP: PACIFIC SCIENCE CENTER, SEATTLE

The Groovik's Cube at Puzzlepalooza, Pacific Science Center

Geek Girl Traveler brings you more of Geeky Seattle over at ChinaShop Magazine with a write-up of the fabulous the Seattle Center’s Pacific Science Center! The enormous Seattle science mecca is the home to myriad puzzles, lovely animals, and tons of hands-on sciencey goodness.

Excerpt:

Fun fact: when you touch a sea anemone’s tentacles, and it sticks to your finger, that’s actually the anemone trying to kill you, and the only reason its poison doesn’t work is because you’re so large. That kinda freaked me out when I learned that after I’d been touching it a while.

2012 is the Seattle Center’s 50th Anniversary year. To celebrate, ChinaShop and I are doing a giveaway for one complimentary pass to the Pacific Science Center, good through 2012! So, if you live in, or will be in Seattle this year, check out the ChinaShop post for details on how to win! Or, just check it out anyway, because you wanna know what I have to say about the place.
