Have you been sitting back listening to all of your peers share their amazing spring break plans while having none of your own? Although traveling across the globe is an amazing opportunity, not everyone has the capability or finances to fly to their dream destination for an entire week. Here’s a list of affordable spring break plans that can fill those empty schedules!

This pass includes a visit to:

• The Space Needle
• Aquarium
• Harbor Tour

• Chihuly Garden and Glass OR Pacific Science Center

An adult pass (13+)  is $89.00 and a children’s pass (5-12) is $69.00. Although this may seem like an outrageous amount of money, you will save $63.43 for adult and $31.37 for a child to attend all of these venues by purchasing a city pass.
