Getting Here
SCT is located in the lower Queen Anne neighborhood, on the grounds of the bustling Seattle Center, just steps away from the Space Needle. It's an exciting time in our area, with a plethora of new buildings in the works and thriving communities.

Seattle Children's Theatre is located at the west entrance of Seattle Center, just north of the Pacific Science Center and west of the Space Needle. The main lobby entrance to the theatre is on the north side of the building. SCT is easily reached by car or public transportation.

Parking
Parking is available at a number of nearby garages and surface lots. Limited street parking is available in the surrounding neighborhood. Parking availability may be restricted during sporting events, concerts, or other happenings at Seattle Center, so it's always a good idea to allow for extra time.
