The Seattle Center Shooting Gallery is a classic bit of 1960s kitsch, in effect a 3-dimensional cartoon, with silly animated birds (shown), a growling bear, and a honky-tonk piano player juxtaposed to a realistic background painting of Western scenery. It was restored to its full low-tech glory during 1993 in a major renovation of Seattle Center, the big park at the base of the Space Needle where Seattle families went to play for many decades. The vintage amusement center was dismantled in 2008-09.
