点评:Visited on 26 April 2026 - Boeing is a little way north of Seattle - public transport isn’t really an option to get here but ride shares are doable, this is a chance to get a taster of the main Boeing Assembly line and a look back at a centenary of the company, from its beginnings as a cargo and mail company right the way through to its space exploration endeavours.
There are several things to do - the gallery on the lower ground level and features a little history but the main focus is on aviation sustainability, space and future of dual passenger transport. There’s a flight sim, allowing guests to play around in a commercial aircraft or a fighter jet. And some activities for kids and school parties. The main floor features the cafe, shop and entrance to the plant tour. Up on the roof is the sky terrace which gives you a look at the plant from the outside as well as the nearby runway, heavily used by private craft.
The tour takes about ninety minutes and there’s a bus ride to get to the plant. You don’t move about a lot but there is plenty to see on the tour, aircraft in various stages of development as well as the other facilities within the hangars. The guides will answer your questions as you go but they’ve anticipated many of the main ones which is handy.
Anticipate spending about three hours here - longer if you want to use the cafe. The shop has a lot of interesting souvenirs - branded merch, clothing and model aeroplanes amongst other items.
翻译:2026年4月26日参观——波音公司位于西雅图以北不远处,公共交通不太方便到达,但可以拼车。这里是体验波音主要装配线、回顾公司百年发展历程的绝佳机会,从最初的货运和邮件公司一路走来,直至太空探索。
这里有很多活动——底层展厅展示了一些历史,但主要侧重于航空可持续发展、太空以及未来双座客运的发展。这里还有飞行模拟器,游客可以体验驾驶商用飞机或战斗机。此外,还有一些适合儿童和学校团体的活动。主楼层设有咖啡厅、商店和工厂参观入口。屋顶的空中露台可以俯瞰工厂外部以及附近的跑道,这条跑道经常有私人飞机起降。
参观大约需要90分钟,需要乘坐巴士前往工厂。虽然参观过程中走动不多,但沿途有很多东西可看,包括处于不同研发阶段的飞机以及机库内的其他设施。导游会随时解答你的疑问,而且他们已经预先解答了很多常见问题,非常方便。
预计参观时间约为三小时——如果想去咖啡馆,则需要更长时间。商店里有很多有趣的纪念品——品牌商品、服装、飞机模型等等。
