Seattle Laser Dome

laserdomeThis 80-foot, domed theater inside the Pacific Science Center was built and designed by architect Buckminster Fuller as part of the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair. Today it performs laser shows set to famous albums, including Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” every Friday and Saturday at midnight.

Consisting of small triangular pieces of perforated aluminum, it was one of first self-supporting geodesic domes in the world, according to Science Center officials. A live “laser artist” performs every show.

Location: 200 2nd Ave N Seattle. More info: www.seattlelaserdome.com
