In the freezing winters of Seattle, you can tiptoe in a lush jungle or meander under a canopy of tropical trees. Don’t rub your eyes, you read right 🙂 Why fly to Singapore for exotic orchids when Amazon Spheres has planted a misty cloud forest smack dab in the heart of Seattle.

Besides being a gem of Seattle hidden in plain sight, Amazon Spheres is an architectural marvel with over 40,000 exotic plants from 50 countries. With the wild rainforest at your fingertips and trickling waterfalls under your feet, this botanical bliss leaves you in complete awe.

What to see in Amazon Spheres ?

There are 3 giant glass domes of Amazon Spheres which house rare species of flora and fauna. Take your time and explore this unique terrarium.

Two of the most beautiful parts are :

The Canopy Walk

Here you walk on a wobbly wooden bridge high above the plants. While being perfectly safe, the bounce in the bridge gives a real thrill of outdoors. You can’t help but say “ooh nice touch”.

2. Canyon Living Wall

Cost to see?

Nothing. This beautiful matrix of global jungles costs nothing to see. Amazon Spheres is a great free thing to do in Seattle. Open to public free of cost year round.

Amazon Spheres looks exceptionally beautiful at twilight. Because its so warm and humid inside, Winters are perhaps the best season to enjoy Spheres. Kids are allowed and there is a spot to park strollers. The paths are clearly marked . Lots of helpful staff around to guide you too.
