Create the perfect menu to accompany your adventure at Pacific Science Center. Pacific Science Center began as the US Science Pavilion during the 1962 World's Fair in Seattle. The walls of each building form an arch motif used by designer Minoru Yamaskai in a number of buildings. Upon closing ceremonies, the Science Pavilion became the first museum founded as a science and technology center in the US. It has been opening doors to exploration and discovery ever since, becoming one of the top science centers in the word.
