This must-see world-class attraction consists of an exhibition hall, a centerpiece glasshouse and a lush garden. Join our private and exclusive hosted tour prior to opening hours. Begin with breakfast in the Collections Café, where you'll be immersed in Northwest artist Dale Chihuly's world of personal and quirky collec- tions, including vintage accordions, radios, string holders and tin toys, along with 36 of his drawings. Then enjoy a guided tour through the exhibition with a special presentation. The galleries and artwork demonstrate how Chihuly pushed the boundaries of glass art in concept, execution and presentation. The centerpiece of the glasshouse is a 1,400-piece 100-foot-long multicolored sculpture suspended from the ceiling. The fenced outdoor garden features a landscape of paths lined with trees, plants and flowers and is studded with Chihuly installations. The recent opening of the $20 million Chihuly Garden and Glass exhibition helps mark the 50th anniversary of the Seattle World's Fair. Breakfast and hosted tour are includ- ed. As an optional add-on, you may include the Space Needle Experience, a pass to the observation deck 520 feet up in the air.

As you race around Lake Union, your team must solve a list of crafty clues and puzzling riddles to determine the identity of items visible from the lake. You have two hours to complete the task—but the team on the first boat to return with the most correct answers wins a prize. Each year has all-new clues, so repeat scavengers don't have an advantage. Of course, you'll be burning up brain fuel as you solve the clues, so picnic-style food platters, bottled water and soft drinks are included onboard. You may bring your own beer, wine or other beverages to help energize your creative thinking. Put togeth- er your own team of 10 friends and family members, or we'll partner you at the dock when we meet on the west side of Lake Union. The three-time defending champion team has put out a friendly challenge to all WAC members. Think you can beat them?
