👍👍 My visit here was transformational and mind blowing. I learned alot about the activities of the Gates Foundation...visited both campuses. The campus is quite serene and most if not all the offices are open space. People often mention foundation,

    Amazing experience. The place requires that you show proof of vaccination so make sure that you carry a proof (digital proof is allowed). The exhibits are really cool. It’s a great stop for anyone to learn about just how much progress we’ve made and how much better the foundation has left the world.

    Bill profited from the vaccines and put us at risk. This place deserves a 1 star review. Not only for the fraud but this organization has aligned itself in accordance with the WEF which goes against the very freedom of the majority of the population on earth.

    The foundation is gorgeous from the outside and the discovery center is engaging from the inside. The public is not allowed within the foundation beyond the lobby. You can however get a general campus look from the overlook at the front. I see a lot of 1-3 star reviews saying the Discovery Center is boring and I'm genuinely confused what people expected from a health and education focused foundation?....it's not meant to be "entertaining", it's meant to give more insight into what the Foundation does in an interactive manner. If you aren't interested in that, then I don't advise going. That being said, the space available to the public is free, holds different events, and doesn't pose any glaring accessibility issues.

    They keep their lights on all night when no one is there and you can hear them watering their plants all night obviously a lie that Bill gates cares about saving energy or water. I get the plants needing water but the whole building is lit up at 3am not convinced any word is truthful about his concern on climate..

    This 2 star is for the imaginary 5 star for the discovery centre which was indeed a mind blowing experience. The actual 2 star is for the receptionist guy at the foundation when I visited the place (without appointment, as part of my first Seattle trip, and my long awaited ambition - September 30th). He might have informed me the rules, facts etc. But his big attitude and angry face reminded me of the border security and immigration officers at the airports in India. He totally was so annoying that he spoiled my joy, happiness, confidence and also, all the impressions I had for the foundation and my dream to see the place for almost 2 decades. He gave me an impression that I should never come back to the foundation. Thanks

    Google says it's open on days it isn't, be aware of that if visiting Seattle from another city.

    Plenty of things for kids to do. Bad parking options tho. Prices for parking are outrageous.

    What a great addition to the Seattle offering. Perfectly located opposite the tower and with parking adjacent too. A wonderful place to teach and learn.

    Loved it. The Bill &Melinda Gates Foundation is a great way to learn about the organization activities and impact accros the United States and the world. It covers all areas including fight against Malaria, Education in the US, ... We definitely recommend it whether your are a group, a family, an individual or a class.

    I always love free, and this free gallery is a refresher. Although presented by some of the richest people alive the experience was thought provoking and well presented. The interactive elements are always appreciated 👍
