The project features three primary components: the Garden, the Glasshouse, and the Interior Exhibits, with significant secondary spaces including a bar featuring both all-ages seating and a separate area for guests age 21+, a 50-seat multi-use theater and lecture space, retail and lobby spaces, and extensive public site enhancements beyond the Garden.[4] The 100-foot-long installation inside of the Glasshouse is one of Chihuly's largest suspended sculptures.[5] Designed with the help of architect Owen Richards, the facility was awarded LEED silver certification from the USGBC.[6]
Starting in 2019, the Chihuly Garden and Glass has ran a free art and glass festival named Refract: The Seattle Glass Experience. The festival brings together artists, collectors, and showcases of glass art from the Puget Sound area.[7][8]
The museum regularly partners with Seattle Public Schools (SPS) to invite elementary school students to visit the museum's galleries and take part in hands-on classes.[9] The partnership between Chihuly Garden and Glass and SPS dates back to 2013, with the museum providing over 17,300 free tickets to SPS students as of 2024.[9]
