Audio Guide of Kerry Park

Kerry Park is a public park open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so you can visit whenever you like. No reservations are needed to enter.

Good news! Admission to Kerry Park is completely free. It is one of those hidden treasures Seattle offers to everyone at no cost.

To enjoy the views and take some photos, I recommend spending between 30 minutes and 1 hour. If you want to sit and relax a bit longer, you could stay more time just to soak up the atmosphere.

Kerry Park is famous for offering the most iconic views of the Seattle skyline, including the Space Needle, Mount Rainier, and Elliott Bay. It was donated to the city in 1927 by Mr. and Mrs. Albert Sperry Kerry, on the condition that the viewpoint be preserved for public enjoyment. It is a key spot for both tourists and photographers.

For the best photos and views with fewer crowds, I suggest visiting at sunrise or sunset, when the light is magical. As for the best time of year, late spring and early fall usually offer clearer skies. However, Seattle is known for its rain, so be prepared for any weather.

Yes, Kerry Park has paved paths and ramps that make it generally accessible for people with reduced mobility and for wheelchair or stroller users. The main viewpoint is easily accessible from the street.

Absolutely! Kerry Park is located in the charming Queen Anne neighborhood. Nearby, you can stroll along residential streets lined with historic homes, explore boutique shops and cafés in Queen Anne’s commercial districts, or head south to visit the Seattle Center, home of the Space Needle and the Chihuly Garden and Glass. For more information, I recommend checking the Queen Anne guide on Visit Seattle.

Of course! First, bring your camera—the views are spectacular. Second, be prepared for wind, as it can feel chilly even on sunny days. And third, if you are driving, parking is limited on the surrounding streets, so consider using public transportation or a rideshare service. Enjoy the view!
