In partnership with
🏴☠️ Emerald City Pirate Cruises (Seattle)
Your kids are about to become part of the crew.
Emerald City Cruises runs family pirate cruises where kids don't just watch — they join in. Think cannon battle, crew missions, and views of the Seattle skyline from the water. It's one of those outings they'll talk about for weeks.
🏴☠️ Kids become part of the crew
💥 Water Cannon Battle (yes, really)
🌊 Stunning views of Seattle from the water
🎟️ Ticketed public and private charter events
Parents can enjoy a drink from our galley while the kids are entertained by our fully in-character cast. Our cruises depart from Fishermen's Terminal, near the Ballard Bridge. It's got great parking, restaurants, a convenience store and deli, as well as a fresh seafood market.

Dining
🤖 Robot Delivered Hot Pot (Seattle)
Upscale hot pot HaiDiLao where a robot delivers part of your meal to the table. Kids get toys and activities while they wait, the cooking is interactive (you're building your own bowl), and there's free ice cream at the end. It's the kind of place where even picky eaters end up engaged because they're in charge of what goes in the pot.
