If you're in Seattle, how can you NOT go to the space needle? For this review, let me say I have been to a several observation decks. Los Angeles Istanbul New York Las Vegas London I don't want to say once you have seen one view you have seen them all, but since I have been to several I need something drastic to wow me. So the wow factor here was the rotating floor. It was pretty cool. The views are beautiful, and the snack bar was yummy. Make your visit twice as nice and get the combo ticket for the glass museum too. read more

What can be said about the Space Needle that hasn't been said already. Iconic landmark of Seattle. Don't miss the Chihuly Gardens and the amazing blown glass sculptures on display. read more

The most iconic building in Seattle, fascinating to see its unique design and soaring height, standing right underneath it. We reserved our Sunday morning visiting time few weeks ahead. The ticket was part of CityPass. When we got to the site we were able to scan our tickets and walk-in without any waiting. A 40 second elevator ride took us to the observation deck. The observation deck had a 360 view. In each direction there was a dedicated photo op camera positioned for visitors that they can use to take photos for free, just by scanning QR codes. Since it was good weather, the views were stunning from the top. The mountains in the horizons were clearly visible. In the deck, there were seating area, a bar, a snack cafe and stairs to walk down a lower deck. The enclosed lower deck had some clear glass sections in the floor. We could see all the way to the ground thru the glass. Here we also saw the rotation of the deck as the outer section of the deck was spinning along the inner section. In this floor, there was a restaurant as well, only for adults. After were done with the observation decks, we took the elevator down to the gift shop. It was a big one, super clean and organized. Took a while to explore all the sections. They had huge variety of souvenir and gift items. Lots of magnets and stickers. I wanted to buy a replica of the tower. They had it available many different types like metal, plastic and glass. Prices varied from $25 to $300. I ended up getting the metal one, about a foot long. Overall I loved the experience visiting one of the iconic symbols of Pacific North East. read more

Space Needle is a must in Seattle. It's about 607 ft tall with the observation deck at 520 ft. Wonderful view and experience at the deck and even in the elevator (glass windows). Once you enter, it's an information hallway for the history. You will also see the gift shop below. There's a giant Lego Space Needle that you won't miss. The main deck is outdoor with full glass panels. Very scary for me but such a breathtaking view. We were lucky to have a sunny day. We got to see the city, piers and as far as the Cascade, Olympic Mountains and Mount Rainier. One feature I really like was they provided 3 self service cameras on top, allowing you to capture cool pictures. A QR code will prompt you to link for the camera, click start, it will give you 3-5 seconds to pose. Once the photos are taken, it goes to a free folder for you to download. HOW CONVENIENT!! The deck below was 360 glass rotation floor to see the street and engineering part of the Needle. It has cafe and a full dining restaurant on the rotation glass. Very cool. Also another self service camera right by the stairs operating the same way (The Oculus). The gift shop at the first floor has much to offer. They don't prove any box tho for statues tho. Overall an amazing experience with the view and the engineering behind the scenes. Highly recommended!! read more

It was a great experience visiting the space needle in 2023, we ended up checking out the museums nearby along with the tour of the space needle, its an iconic Seattle spot to check out. Definitely gets busy, and they did a glass floor to look down, which is a bit nerve wracking. Overall good experience, it does get crowded read more

Yes please! this is a must when in Seattle. Just do it! I went with the citipass voucher to help save time and some money. It was worth it for sure. Once I arrived, I made my way towards the elevator. Prior to the elevator line, there was the digital photo line so I made a quick stop there too. I was shocked at how quick the elevator ride was to get to the top and back down. They have a mini-bar section at the top where you can buy refreshments and also the tip top cafe for their tip top pies. Once I was at the top, I explored all around the outside and even took photos with their cameras facing the city views. I highly recommend as a personal souvenir for yourself. I was lucky enough to get clear photos with nice views during the daytime. I asked about the free t-shirt souvenir, but they stated that only happens during the summer(noted) The views were breathtaking and I took plenty of photos with the city views of Seattle. read more

Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and feast your eyes on the crown jewel of the Pacific Northwest the mighty Space Needle. Built for the legendary 1962 World's Fair, this futuristic tower shot up over the Seattle skyline in just about 400 days and cost roughly $4.5 million to build back then which would be tens of millions today. Standing 605 feet tall, it has been daring visitors to ride its elevators skyward for over sixty years. And let me tell you... the moment those elevator doors slide open and you step out into the light, the city of Seattle unfolds beneath your feet like a living map. To one side the sparkling waters of Puget Sound, to the other the towering presence of Mount Rainier on a clear day. It's not just a viewpoint it's the postcard shot of the entire Northwest. Now here's where things got wild. In 2018, the Needle went through a massive $100-million renovation called "The Century Project." They ripped out walls, replaced them with floor-to-ceiling glass, and installed what might be the most mind-bending feature in the city The Loupe, the world's first and only rotating glass floor. Yes, you heard that right. You're standing hundreds of feet in the air... on glass... while the floor slowly rotates beneath you. The glass walls tilt outward slightly, so when you lean back against them it feels like you're floating over the skyline. Your brain will try to convince you that gravity has suddenly become optional. It's thick, engineered glass safe as can be but the first few steps? Oh buddy... your knees might have a conversation with your courage. Here's the trick: buy your tickets online. The lines here can snake around the plaza like a summer roller coaster queue, and more than once I've shown up only to see the crowd and think, "Well... maybe next time." The smart move is the Seattle CityPASS, which bundles entry to several major attractions for a fraction of the price one ticket, multiple adventures. But once you make it up there, take your time. Walk out onto the glass. Stand on one of those benches, lean back into the sky, and have someone snap the photo. I'm telling you right now if you're reading this and you're anywhere near Seattle, go do it. Your mind will wobble, your stomach might flutter, and you'll walk away with one of the best photos you've ever taken in your life. read more

Definitely a must see in the City of Seattle! I was looking up things to do on my last day in Puget Sound, and one of the suggestions I received from a Yelp friend was visiting the Space Needle. Actually, she even recommended I visit the lounge, called The Loupe, but apparently, that requires reservations, which I didn't make. When you get in, you'll need to purchase tickets before entering. Credit card payments are only accepted at the ticket window, but there are free cash-to-card machines near the south entrance per a sign by the box office. Another thing to consider is that strollers and wheeled luggage aren't allowed inside the Space Needle; there's a designated area for strollers and lockers for your other belongings. After scanning your ticket at the gate, you're then free to enter the Space Needle, where you're first met with a timeline of the construction of the Space Needle, which was built in about a year just in time for the 1962 World's Fair. You'll also get to see three different scale models of the Space Needle construction and even a few interactive displays on the timeline. You'll also get a brief look at the gift shop on the lower level before you board the elevator to the top floors. The only thing disappointing about the timeline is knowing how cheap prices were back then; I wish it only cost $1 to get in today! lol The elevator ride is about 40 seconds long, so get your cameras ready at this point! There will be a guide who will explain the nearby attractions you can see on your way up to the observation deck. Well, not quite the observation deck yet. That elevator lets you off on the revolving glass floor, which is the only one in the world! It takes about 45 to 47 minutes to make one full revolution around the Space Needle. As scary as it looks if you have a fear of heights like I do, rest assured there's plenty of layers of glass to support all the visitors standing 500 feet above the ground! On this floor, there's The Loupe Lounge, which like I said, you need a reservation for. I didn't know this until after my visit, but apparently, a reservation to The Loupe Lounge would also include admission to the Space Needle. So while it may cost a lot just for a culinary and cocktail experience on the only revolving glass floor in the world, knowing that you won't have to double-dip on paying to get inside will make it feel more affordable and possibly cost-effective. From the revolving glass floor, there's a stairwell that you can take to get to the observation deck, and the restrooms are in the middle of that stairwell. On the observation deck, you can either be indoors or outdoors. The elevator guide mentioned there is no time limit as to how long we can remain on the observation deck, yet there's also a maximum occupancy of 163 on the exterior portion of the deck. Even though I usually don't do selfies, I just had to do one at a Skyhigh Selfie station on the observation deck. You scan a QR code, and it takes you to a website that has instructions on how to get a Skyhigh Selfie photo. The instructions are also listed on a mat where you're supposed to stand for the photo. The camera is pretty high above, so look up! Not down! Once your photo is taken, you'll have an option to access your photo via the Spacebook. There are kiosks inside the observation deck where you can see your photo, but as long as you keep your admission ticket, you shouldn't have any problems seeing it, even after you depart. There's no employee to help with Skyhigh Selfies, and one problem I can see is other visitors photobombing if they're not paying close attention. I'm sure it gets much busier during the summer, but I went during the fall when it was cold and cloudy, hence why there weren't as many visitors. Afterwards, there will be an elevator that will take you all the way down to the gift shop, which is one floor below the timeline. The elevator guide for that one didn't explain the nearby attractions, but was happy enough to answer questions. I asked where T-Mobile Park (home of the Seattle Mariners) was, and it caused quite a conversation inside the elevator before we reached the gift shop lol. The gift shop has a multitude of gifts ranging from generic Seattle shirts to Space Needle memorabilia. I made sure to get a few gifts before leaving, not knowing when would be the next time I'd visit the Space Needle. Ticket prices are pretty pricey, however. Expect to spend at least $50 per person just to get in, but if you'd also like to see the Chihuly Garden and Glass on the same visit, it's another $20 for that. Since I don't even live in the Pacific Northwest, it'd be silly for me to consider the Season or CityPass, but if you do, definitely consider them! A $99 Season Pass would get you unlimited entries until May 31, so if you visit at least twice, it's worth getting! I can see the Space Needle being a 4-star experience when it's crowded. For me, it was 5 stars since it wasn't nearly as crowded. read more

One of the most touristy things to do. Expect about 30 mins minimum spent here if you don't decide to grab a snack or drink up top. A bit of the time will be waiting for the elevator to go back down. We basically skipped all the reading on entry and went to line up to the top. Took a bunch of pictures. Exchanged pictures with strangers(which was a must) read more

I did the discount combo ticket with Chihuly glass museum, costing about $70ish per person. This was a super cool experience. I've been to several other observation towers (Tower of Americas in San Antonio, 360 Chicago), but what set the space needle apart was the 2 story area. In one part, they had a rotating glass floor you could stand on, and above they had an outdoor observation area where you could feel the wind blowing through. It was a clear day so we were able to see all the mountains in the distance. Really cool experience! read more

Had to do the full on tourist experience and do a visit up to the Space Needle. It's a pretty quick elevator ride up and definitely nice views when you walk around the outside of the needle. There are a lot of fun places where you can use the camera/QR setup to take some nice selfies. The elevator guide was especially pleasant. I would think that it takes about an hour, but like all of these types of events are a bit pricey. Would recommend doing it still with your CityPass or in a bundle. read more

Space Needle - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We enjoyed viewing the Space Needle from afar as we explored Seattle in October, but even more enjoyable to get a timed ticket to view the building itself and many of its views. We arrived just before sunset and left after nightfall, which made for many interesting photo opportunities. The futuristic building seems so timely now with space exploration being commonplace. Recommend as one of the top things to see for Seattle visitors, especially if time is limited and have to be selective. We had to leave by way of the gift shop as we departed, but we made the best of it and fiddled with quite a few really cool items. I was tempted to buy souvenirs, but pricing and suitcase space traveling back home on an airplane necessitated self-control. read more

The Space Needle is one of those places that automatically earns five stars simply because of what it represents. Built for the 1962 World's Fair, it's a piece of history that was never meant to last--but thankfully, it did. It's similar to the Eiffel Tower in that way, which was also built for a World's Fair and later became one of the most famous landmarks in the world. There's something really cool about seeing how these "temporary" structures end up becoming permanent icons. The Space Needle looks like a spaceship rising over the city and still feels futuristic all these years later. Whether you're visiting Seattle for the first time or the tenth, it's a must-see and a reminder of how history, creativity, and vision come together. A true Seattle classic. read more

When in Seattle it's a must, right? Why did we do it? After taking our 4 year old to the Statue of Liberty earlier in the year and seeing him get excited whenever he sees her on commercials and in photos I knew we had to go up in the needle. It was a beautiful July day. We went up prettybearly in the morning. We ended up getting street parking right at the base of the needle. No wait. Not a lot of people but as we were ready to head down it was getting busier so pro tip- take advantage of the early opening. Inside info: they have an area with a moving floor and glass bottom. Super cool for me and the kids but no so much for my husband so this is a heads up! The lego tower replica space needle really caught our eye and a great guft shop at the base. Overall I am glad we did this! read more

On a long layover from Maui, we decided to explore Seattle by heading to the Space Needle for their prefixe dining experience at their "Loupe Lounge". Located at the tip top of the Needle, this dope azz lounge rotates, giving you amazing views of Downtown Seattle. For $150pp,you get a 5 course meal and an open bar. Seattle is super expensive and we thought this was a slam dunk of a deal considering. Unfortunately our flight was extremely delayed so we arrived an hour and a half late and we found out that they are strict on reservation times. After speaking with the manager, he felt our pain and realized our tardiness was no fault of ours, consequently, he accommodated us eventhough the kitchen had already shut down for the evening. Because of our time constraints and the lounge nearing closing time, our food was boxed to go (no pics), however, we were able to partake in the open bar until we had to rush back to the airport. Once the food came, we realized we had just enough time to scarf it down before leaving. We had a smorgasbord of food. Grilled shrimp, seafood salad, two kinds of caviar, beef taretare, lamb chops.. Just to name a few. Our server went out of her way to make sure we consumed as many drinks as we could before we had to head back. We literally had to force her to take an additional tip. That was different but refreshing.. Lol! Our little excursion was a hit and if we ever make it back to Seattle, we're definitely coming back to the Loupe Lounge inside the Space Needle but this time we'll eat off of plates.. Lol! read more

Iconic place that always you to view Seattle 360 degrees. They added very thick plexiglass so that your view of the city is unobstructed. I sat back on the plexiglass chairs and took photos that showed how high it was. I even lied down the revolving floor of where the restaurant used to be. It was epic and I love going back there when ever I have a chance. read more

The Space Needle opened at the 1962 Worlds Fair and since then has become one of the "must do" tourist traps, uh, tourist destinations in Seattle. Tickets can be purchased in combination with other attractions to save money over all. Buy tickets online, at a kiosk on-site, or at the ticket sales office by the elevator entrance at the back. In summer be sure to book your reserved entrance time well in advance. Lockers for your bags are available near the ticket sales office. A security check point before the elevators includes a metal detector and bag search. Valet parking is available at the front entrance or find a lot or garage nearby. A lounge at the top is available by advance reservation only. For our one hundred two dollar entry (for two) we got a ride up to the top and back down again. Here you have 360° views both from inside or outside. You can purchase a poor quality espresso drink (imo), hot cocoa (better) or a sweet or savory pie for twelve dollars each up there. Restrooms are available and are clean. To catch the elevator down, walk down one floor where you can walk on a plexi-glass floor that slowly rotates. There is also a carpeted floor for those who in no way want to feel as though they are defying gravity. This level is where the reservation only lounge is located. Our elevator attendant was obviously in no way enamored with their position. Not rude in any way. When we asked a question they had a ready answer. And it wasn't just them. Every employee we came in contact with seemed to want to be elsewhere. The entire ground floor is a huge gift shop. Good views of Puget Sound at the top. On a previous visit I combined my ticket with the Chihuly glass museum located next door which is excellent. read more

This Space Needle is an Icon here and each time I come here I must visit and go to the top. I am glad I had the opportunity to visit and made sure that I had enough time in m short schedule to be here with our friends. It is so easily accessible via Monorail from Downtown. We stay just a few blocks away and it's just a 10 minute walk from our hotel. The team members here at any location throughout are friendly and the ticketing process and entry is extremely easy. There were two working elevators to the top and the wait was not long unless you're here on a school vacation day or major holiday. Once at the top you can step outside for 360 degree views of the beautiful City of Seattle, Puget Sound, the Bay, Mount Rainier and other sights. Unfortunately on this trip Mt. Rainier was obscured due to the cloud cover. The elevator ride takes 41 seconds and at least alf the car is taking a movie on their phone. Everyone always seems to have a great time here and love to do their selfies at all the views (all 360 degrees of them.) Make sure you go to the revolving floor and look through the glass below as you turn. This is just a fun place to visit. KUDO's to the team at the Seattle Space Needle. read more

It's popular for a reason! Enjoyed it way more than I thought I would. Our hotel was in downtown Seattle just a few minutes from Pikes market, so the easiest way for me to get to the Space Needle was to walk to the monorail station just 10 minute walk from my hotel. The monorail goes directly to the Space Needle. I reserved my tickets just 40 minutes ahead of the time I got there. No wait in any line. You first get in the elevator to the top and it's less scary than I thought I would be since you first enter into an inside area. And then you can walk outside. Just stunning views of the Seattle Area. The floor below the top is where the revolving glass is which is super neat. read more

So I'm not much of a I have to go up the main tourist attraction kind of traveler but this I just could not pass up! We both were excited to check out the space needle because it's unique and just so tall! We went up close to sunset and it was so beautiful! I didn't know they had 3 floors! Top floor is the observation deck where you get the clearest photos and it's outdoors! Second floor is well the restrooms lol and the first floor of the main 3 is the rotating glass floor where there is a restaurant/bar. It was honestly so nice I loved everything about this touristy spot! I would come back here for sure. The people working were so friendly and chatty! I loved the little fun facts they were dropping on the elevator! Thanks so much to all the friendly staff who made this trip so enjoyable! read more

Got the space needle entrance in a package with the MoPop and the Chihuly Gardens. We scanned out pass and quickly were admitted. They line you up inside and the line moved quickly. They have 2 floors up top -- an indoor spinning observation deck, and and and outdoor view space. It was cool to be able to see the city with a 360 view especially since it was such a clear day. But it was also underwhelming. The space needle is not that high up so compared to other viewing spaces in other cities, this is not as impressive. However we did it as it wad the thing to do and it was just fine. Going to the top may not be necessary but I like doing the touristy thing so I went up. read more

This was a pretty cool experience but not my favorite. There really isn't much to do other than look at the view which could be a bit overwhelming with the amount of people squished at the top. Tickets are also extremely expensive, we were able to purchase a bundle that has admission to the Space Needle and Chihuly Garden and for about 5 people it was close to $500. It's truly a once in a lifetime experience and the views were breathtaking but not worth the money in my opinion. I also got really dizzy while I was up there so my overall experience wasn't the best. read more

The Space Needle is a must see when you visit Seattle. I only wish I had more time to experience the restaurant. I literally could have stayed here for an entire evening. Go before dark and stay to see how the views transform. You will be amazed at how beautiful Seattle is from so high up. Don't forget to look at Mt Rainier because my daughter didn't see it. I almost did as well but it's beautiful. They have stations around where you can take pictures so keep your tickets handy. You can literally have a date there which can be very romantic and relaxing.

Since the time we decided that we would be visiting Seattle for summer break. The kids have been ecstatic to look at the space needle and go on the top. We booked our tickets online to avoid the line. It was a Saturday and to our luck there was barely any crowd. It's a beautiful introduction at the entrance on how it was started and built, the designs were really interesting. The escalator takes less than a minute to reach the top which is about 600 feet. The view is wonderful and there's seating to sit an admire the beautiful landscape around. At the bottom floor is the revolving deck with glass flooring. I would highly recommend this specially with kids. It's fun and a definite adrenaline rush. If you have not visited, it's worth a one time visit. read more

Got the City Pass and this was the only place I had trouble checking in with my reservation. Got there early and said it was too early and I needed to come back in 10 minutes. I return and someone else is there and I am told I am still too early and need to return in about 8 minutes. When I come back for the third time I am told my reservation is only for one person so I have to wait in a long line at the ticket office where there is only one window open and I finally get past the area where you scan your ticket just to now wait in a long line to get stuffed into an elevator. The views are nice but I noticed the regular price is $49 and this is something to check off your list since it is so iconic, but not to return in the future. I saw and read there are a couple of other buildings that are less expensive that offer similar views. read more

One of the first things I did on my first trip to Seattle was check out the space needle. It has fantastic views of the city and should be on any tourist (or local) list to check out at least once.

In a cool neighborhood and tons of great little restaurants and coffee shops around for before or after the tour if you're not eating up in the needle. Wonderful experience! read more

I would give the Space Needle a solid 'ok'. If you've ever been to places like the CN Tower in Toronto or the Freedom Tower in NYC then you may be disappointed. The Space Needle is a third the size of them both. Approx 600 vs 1800 feet. That being said, it is a Seatttle landmark & something I just had to visit. I enjoyed the views of the water, the city, and in the distance Mt Rainier. I did think $11 for a cup of coffee up on top was a bit crazy. 2025-42 read more

Don't Watch Final Destination Bloodlines-Movie before going!! ‍ With only eight hours to kill between flights, we decided to make the most of our layover and headed straight to the iconic Seattle Space Needle...and wow, what a view! Even coming from the Islandswhere we're spoiled with natural beauty, this was something else. The ride up in the elevator is almost as exciting as the top itself. Pro Tip: try to get a spot by the windows in the elevator...those views are epic as the city drops away beneath you. My stomach did a little flip, but my son? Brave as ever. He was living for the glass floor, while I respectfully kept my feet on the solid parts Once you reach the top, it's surprisingly chill. You can walk the 360° observation deck, take in the city, mountains, and Puget Sound, then post up with a cocktail or snack. They've got a food stand and even a little kiosk with beer, wine, and a frozen drink that hit the spot after a few hours of travel. Would definitely recommend it for locals, tourists, or anyone on a long layover like us, it's a great way to see the city in one unforgettable swoop. Mahalo, Seattle! read more

I was told that the Space Needle has times where it's super busy and not super busy. We went a few hours after they had opened. So we were part of the crowd. Very Disneyland queue. Weaving line with big fans and misty water. Took awhile to get to the elevators. But once you're inside, there's a lot of fun facts to learn about the construction of the Space Needle. Also, a really good Lego Space Needle with a ton of Lego surprises in it. We finally got to the top. The views are worth the wait! We didn't eat at the restaurant but I would be interested from what I saw. If you have the chance, check out the lower deck area. You'll be able to step on the glass floor and look directly down. A bit eerie but fun for you're looking for a small thrill. Head downstairs once you're done and have fun checking out the merch. There's a lot to choose from. Once you're done there, walk outside and check out one of the venders. From hot dogs to caricatures. There's a lot happening here. read more

The views were amazing and I like how there's lots of glass everywhere so it's not windy at all. There's also 2 floors with different kinds of viewing, so it feels like you have lots of photo opportunities. The line to get up there took a while, about 30 minutes in the morning on a weekend. Definitely come on odd days or super early if you want to avoid a long wait. They have a cafe at the top that services pies and drinks. I though the pies were a great idea. We ended up getting a quick lunch there and got to enjoy the view while eating. Catching the elevator back done was way faster from the 2nd floor. read more
