"Seattle's Chihuly Garden and Glass showcases the oeuvre of glass from world-famous glass artist Dale Chihuly. This forward-thinking museum inspires creativity and imagination as much as it pays tribute to the artist, through a surreal landscape of colorful glass sculptures that interact with the natural environment. The magnum opus of the museum is arguably the Glasshouse. This towering 40-foot-tall work of art is the result of Chihuly’s fondness for conservatories. The centerpiece inside is a massive 100-foot-long sculpture, which is one of Chihuly’s largest suspended sculptures. The artwork takes on different qualities throughout the day, as the natural light changes it. The Garden is also a must. Strangely beautiful handmade glass artwork sits amid ferns, vines, and perennials." - Naomi Tomky, Jenna Scatena
"If it’s one of those Pacific Northwest days when the sun stays in hiding, there are dozens of breweries to explore and stunning glass art to admire at Chihuly Garden and Glass." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Glass Act: Dale Chihuly This colorful, photography-friendly collection of the one-eyed glass artist's work is more than just another tourist attractions. The Northwest room, with its ceramics, textile art, Pendleton blankets, and photography of Native Americans, is a nod to the traditional arts that inspired Chihuly's work. Playful, brightly colored glass is everywhere: oversized spheres piled into a rowboat, sea creatures and undulating glass ribbons that evoke the movement of the ocean, and fanciful "flowers" in the outdoor garden. The gift shop is large, with a nice selection of gifts, novelties, and Pendleton blankets. King County residents get a $4 discount off admission. Great for visitors, residents, and anyone who has a nice digital camera they're itching to try out."

"That hearty meal will warm you up for the Chihuly Garden and Glass Museum, a five-minute drive to the west at the foot of the Space Needle. Here, renowned hometown artist Dale Chihuly’s mesmerizing, 100-foot-long, red, orange, and yellow glass installation hangs from the ceiling of a conservatory surrounded by art-filled gardens."
