What makes it 72% Kids-Friendly: Children 7–12 enjoy toilet humor and skylights, tickets are cheap, but narrow stairs, dim tunnels, and occasional adult jokes require close supervision and agile walking shoes.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for with kids: The 75-minute tour plus time for the exhibit and gift shop fits well in a 2-3 hour visit without tiring kids.
Standard Underground Tour:
Join a 75-minute guided walk through buried sidewalks and storefronts under Pioneer Square.
Tip: Kids enjoy stories about old sewer toilets and peeking at skylights in the ceiling.
Doc Maynard’s Public House Intro:
Start in a restored 19th-century bar scene before heading underground.
Tip: Arrive 15 minutes early so kids can spot old photos and settle in comfortably.
Rogues Gallery & Gift Shop:
Browse free museum displays and pick up themed souvenirs.
Tip: Let kids choose a small keepsake to remember the tour.

Great but long...our guide was amazing and funny (Adam I think). Tour was very informative about the underground history of Seattle. Several stairs for those that have walking issues. Fairly priced. Don't forget to tip tour guide.

We could not recommend this tour enough!! And Jim Arnold was an absolutely fantastic guide. Knowledgeable, very funny, able to easily wrangle a large tour group complete with some little kids running around. Really just an all around very interesting and informative fun little touristy thing to do while we were visiting. Thanks Jim!!

The tour guide was great - crazy good energy...

What an unforgettable experience! If you're in Seattle, the **Beneath the Streets** tour is an absolute must, and I can't recommend it enough. Our tour guide, **Richard**, truly made the whole experience. From the moment we met him, his friendly and funny personality made us feel right at home. He had this perfect mix of humor, knowledge, and storytelling that kept the tour engaging from start to...
