We came here at the end of a busy day, as the sun was setting and it was fun. We watched a few boats go through the locks and walked around the garden. Very interesting if you've never been to a locks before.

We took the public transportation bus to this attraction.
We are familiar with locks, the principle and the locks were not a great attraction.
Walking around the complex for a few minutes was sufficient.
The fish ladder, the seals swimming around and the nesting herons - tens of them - drew more of our interest.

Known locally as the Ballard Locks, this is a great spot to watch boats pass through locks between a freshwater lake and the saltwater bay. It is also surrounded by lovely greenery and nearby botanical gardens. A nice relaxing spot to spend a few hours.

I parked at commodore park. Has a parking lot. Walked by the great blue heron nesting area. This side has the area for checking the fish ladder. Locks operation was impressive. Close to discovery park. You check out the fishing fleet at northwest docks and fishermen terminal for eating spots.

Route bikes into the locks area and spent some time watching their operation. Locks were not to busy and keepers were able to spend some time chatting.

I didn’t know what to expect as I walked down the hill from the park, but I learnt a lot about the fish ladder, something I hadn’t heard of before and saw a boat go from the Puget sound to salmon Bay.

We made a trip to the locks to watch them in action and see the salmon ladder. It was actually really neat seeing the locks in action, I like how they welcome tourists to observe how they work.

We went with our granddaughters one evening and really enjoyed seeing the locks. Although we only saw one boat go through at that time of day, it was still interesting.

The ladders to view the salmon were very cool. It is a very large area to spend some time. Make sure you look closely to look for the harbor seals. The botanical gardens are also located here so take time to see them also. It was nice to see how they moved many different sizes of boats at the same time.

What's cool about this place is it is near the botanical gardens - so make some time to visit both. Seeing the salmon move through the locks in the underwater viewing area was cool to see. And we got to see some boats move through the locks and see how they work.

Duly noted your comment on dirty windows in fish ladder viewing room. We are very short handed and under funded and cleaning the windows is both dangerous and very labor intensive (takes 2 people). They were just cleaned on Mar 15th...see Facebook post, so you can tell how quickly they get dirty. There are no salmon this time of year, so that along with lack of staff, means window don't get cleaned as often as one would like.
Sorry this left a bad impression, but we are fully aware of what needs to be done at this 100+ year old facility and are doing our best to keep it operating with limited funds. On the plus side, the fish ladder room will be closed for some major renovations (using privately raised funds)...stay tuned for details.

Check out the website and social media links at bottom of site for detailed information. There is a Questions tab which will answer most everything. The salmon season is short, from June through Sept. There is a YouTube video, linked off the website updated seasonally, that give you more information. Be sure to schedule a tour (free) to get the most out of your visit...always something going on.

Sorry you didn't enjoy your visit. Seeing Salmon can be iffy, even during peak season, they may have been waiting for high tide to move into the viewing room. Maybe you expected a circus act that performs on schedule?

What's the question?
Jeff C."s response to Pamela M was rather snotty. Whatever the question or comments made by Pamela M., Jeff C. owed her more respect than his comment suggested.
Jeff...you don't know everything about the Chittenden Locks. I'm sure you have glaring areas of ignorance about the Locks and other Seattle attractions.

I am planning a visit to the locks on a Friday. Is there a better/best time of day to see the happenings with boats and fish?

Mid day to late for pleasure boat traffic. Salmon at high tide, you'll have to check tide tables. Commercial boats, pretty much pot luck... Recommend tours

To be clear, the parking meters and ticket enforcement was added by the City of Seattle for the sole purpose of making money for the City of Seattle...no funds go to the Locks and it amounts to around $250K/yr...not a trivial amount. To top it off they also took away half the spaces...a real sore point

Try parking on the Magnolia side and walking to the locks from there. There is a nice view that overlooks the locks from that direction. While in Magnolia, there is Discovery Park and the Daybreak Star Center to visit.

Highly recommend the 1 hour tour to get the most out of your visit. Lot of history here, so drop in the visitor center and see a couple films if you have time. Check their website for more info ballardlocks org.

Is there parking available? or is public transport easier?

From the Locks Q&A: Free parking is available in the neighborhoods on both the North and South side of the Locks. 2 hr. Paid parking is available at the North main entrance gate. This is a City of Seattle parking lot and is tightly patrolled. All fees and fines collected go to the City of Seattle not the Locks. Sunday parking is free but can be crowded.
For transit - it looks like bus 17 does the trick!
The City of Seattle has an efficient bus system with a Metro "Trip Planner" app that works well. You can even bike from downtown on a 12 mile route.

I see that you enjoyed your visit but only rated it as 3 stars. What would have made this visit 5 stars? We are looking to improve the visitor experience to a world class level and are open to any suggestions.

I do love visiting the locks but was thinking about it in terms of other landmarks in the Seattle area. Definately needs improvement for parking, it's a nightmare on weekends, better areas for inclement weather, also the gift store and educational area could use some updating. It is still a wonderful experience and we always put it at the top of our list for out of town visitors.

Have you seen the new movie system in the visitor center? You can now chose from a number of interesting videos....great way to pass some slack time on a winter day.
