The Space Needle is just iconic. It's one of those landmarks that you've seen in so many movies and TV shows. It's incredibly tall and the views are beautiful, especially at night when you can see all the twinkling lights of Seattle. I actually think nighttime is probably my favourite time to go because the whole city looks so pretty from above. It can definitely get busy, and I'm not a huge fan of downtown Seattle overall, but if you're already in the city, I think you have to do the Space Needle at least once. It's one of those touristy things that actually lives up to the hype simply because of how iconic it is. read more

Had a great time at the space needle. Very informative and interesting. A lot to do on the property. IMAX is free with purpose. Its pricey, but how can you come to Seattle and not visit and take it all in. The center was clean and the views are amazing read more

When visiting Seattle for the first time, an absolute must do is to visit the Space Needle. It has an amazing 360 degree view of downtown Seattle, the Olympic Mountains, Elliot Bay, Lake Union and Lake Washington. On a clear day, you can also see Mount Rainer. There are two floors for viewing - the observation deck and the rotating glass floor. We came during the daytime but would like to come back at night to see the city lights. Views are also influenced by the weather so it's best to plan your visit. Note: You might feel anxiety walking across the glass floor. Noticed some people crossing parts where you couldn't see the ground to get to the windows. Also, you might feel motion sickness as the floor is spinning at about 8 degrees per minute. read more

Overall we had a great time and it's definitely a must do while in Seattle. The views are great and once you're up there it's very relaxing. The only downside is how expensive it is to get to the top and how long the wait can get. Luckily we were there during the week so it wasn't too bad, but it can definitely get long! read more

My girlfriend and I were in town to explore the city and of course we had to sign up for the space needle as it is iconic. We order our tickets online for the sunset tour. There was quite a bit of a line, but it went through quickly. It was worth it to see the sunset and they had a 360 view. We ate this cherry pastry that came from the café and it was the best thing I've ever eaten. The cherries were made from there. Overall, we had a good experience and would highly recommend. read more

Built for the 1962 World's Fair, the Space Needle is Seattle's most recognizable landmark, located in between the Museum of Pop Culture and the Chihuly Glass Museum, where my partner and I came for a visit yesterday. The ticket and entrance process was very easy. Just keep in mind the line was about 45 minutes long, a bit like a theme park ride to get into the elevator after our allotted ticket time, so be ready to wait. Our elevator guy gave us a great tour on a 43-second elevator ride up to the saucer-shaped top-level outdoor observation deck with its open-air glass walls, tilting glass benches that lean out over the city, and the world's first and only revolving glass floor. If one's brave and daring enough, even though the height wasn't as frightening as we thought, step onto the glass floor to see Seattle right under your feet. The Space Needle may seem like a tourist trap to first-timers, but it's actually worth all the hype. read more

Fairly easy walk from our Airbnb. It was a good time had by all. The weather was nice. A little crowded when we got to the top, but the views were nice. The line to get to the top wasn't bad. Interesting things to read and look at pictures while standing in line. There's one section where you can have your pics taken for free and sent to yourself immediately. LOVE THOSE!! Different scenarios to choose from. We took four different pics. Once at the top/observation deck, there are different areas to take pics. Kind of reminded me of the Empire State Building. Nice views. There are a few free telescopes to use. There are a few spots where you can purchase some food and drinks. read more

Whole lot of events hosted at the bottom of the space needle by the pavilion center. Diverse array of events from food festival to a rave one, which I have in my pictures and videos below. Everyone is so welcoming and it really is such a good time here because you can enjoy the sunset during the summer months where it can start at 2030 or 8:30PM...even as late as 2200 or 10PM. Truly such a good time and got to love the scenes hosted in this area read more

The spaaaaaace needle. You can call it touristy. You can call it overpriced. But if you're visiting Seattle, you're probably going to end up here anyway, and honestly, I'm glad I did. The views are spectacular. On a clear day, you can see downtown Seattle, Elliott Bay, Mount Rainier, the Olympic Mountains, and enough water to make you wonder if Seattle is secretly an island. The glass floors and rotating lower level add an extra layer of fun (and mild panic if you're afraid of heights). Built for the 1962 World's Fair, the Space Needle still looks futuristic more than 60 years later. It's basically Seattle's version of the Eiffel Tower: iconic, impossible to miss, and mandatory for first-time visitors. read more

If you're visiting Seattle, it's definitely a must! The views from the top were amazing and gave us a great look at the city and surrounding area. All of the employees we interacted with were friendly, and it was fun walking around the gift shop afterward.

Visiting from Orlando, checking out the Space Needle was a must. The 605-foot tower is every bit as impressive in person as it is in photos. The elevator ride travels about 10 mph and getting you to the top in roughly 41 seconds. The views are absolutely incredible, with panoramic sights of downtown Seattle, Elliott Bay, Mount Rainier and the surrounding mountains. The Loupe is the world's first and only revolving glass floor. If you're visiting Seattle for the first time, this is one attraction you shouldn't skip. The views and the experience make it worth crossing off the bucket list. It very cool to think this was constructed in just 400 days, opening on April 21, 1962. read more

It hasn't been that long since I visited last, but figured it's an important place to go for first-time visitors, so took my wife and her mom here during a weekday afternoon. We came from Mercer Island, taking the light rail (and monorail) and I was pleasantly surprised at how short the journey was. It now costs $55 for an adult ticket (which is steep), which we purchased at the main ticket office. No email address was required to purchase the tickets, which actually became a bit of a problem as any activities done during the visit is tied to your ticket. There were two picture taking opportunities, and both were not very good. One was before you entered, and tied to your ticket. There was no way to download the picture, instead having to take a screenshot to save it. And the picture taking opportunity up on top (where an email address is needed to get the picture), didn't work. We took two pictures sent to two different email addresses, and neither one made it. It was crowded, so we didn't stay very long. My usual recording of info is on my previous review, so no need to repeat. 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

As someone visiting, this is one thing that is so cool. We happened to luck out and go during one of its clearest days of the year and could see every mountain they pointed out. Would not recommend if it's super cloudy cause I can see how it would lose the appeal, but if it's a sunny day and you're visiting then the $$$ is worth it! read more

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

Visiting the Space Needle was one of the highlights of our Seattle trip! We purchased the C3 Pass, and the Space Needle was one of the included attractions, making it an easy choice for our itinerary. We were able to walk from our hotel, which was a pleasant stroll and not far at all. Since we arrived early, we spent some time browsing the gift shop and checking out all the unique Seattle souvenirs before heading to the elevators. Once we made our way up to the observation deck, the views were absolutely spectacular. You'll find out pretty quickly whether you're afraid of heights or not! The panoramic views of Seattle, Puget Sound, the bay, and the surrounding mountains were incredible, and we spent plenty of time taking photos from every angle. One of the coolest parts of the experience was walking down to the rotating Oculus glass floor. It was such a unique attraction and definitely something you don't see every day. Watching the city streets more than 600 feet below while slowly rotating around the tower was both thrilling and fascinating. Thankfully, the glass is impressively thick and sturdy, which helped make the experience more enjoyable than nerve-racking. Whether you're a first-time visitor to Seattle or a local showing guests around, the Space Needle is a must-see attraction. Even if heights make you a little nervous, it's absolutely worth the visit for the breathtaking views and unforgettable experience. 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

Didn't expect to spend 2 hours here, but the views, the fresh air and food and drink, made it easy even with my fear of heights. Tickets were about $50 I think ( I didn't pay for myself), there's a gift store located on the lower level with mugs, magnets, post cards, sweaters, bags, and so much more. You're able to see views of the city, the water and some parts of the islands. There's a bar and an area to order small bites. I ordered an apple and ice cream I gave about a 6/10 definitely reminded me of apple pies from McDonald's. Didn't get to buy a drink from the bar as the lady there totally ignored us while in front of her( decided to spend any money at either bar). Purchased a few things from the gift shop before leaving... 10/10 experience I totally loved and enjoyed the whole experience please try it out!!!!! read more

Amazing experience to get on the top of the building - experience the glass views. They have added so many picture options - there is outside camera where someone helps you take a picture and email it out to you (for free) - this is irreplaceable - the picture looks like someone standing outside the space needle took it. There is nice rotating glass and you can see the ground underneath. This was part of city pass option - while city pass requires to select a slot and our preferred slot wasn't avaialble - but I was glad the person told us we could come back later if we wanted to and time spot doesn't matter, this allowed to visit Chihuly Garden and Glass Museum before doing this since space needle closes at 9pm and chihuly closes at 7.30pm. read more

I visited the Space Needle on May 14, 2026 around 3:30 PM. I purchased a ticket specifically to experience and see the glass floor attraction. However, after going up, I noticed that the glass floor area was closed off for a private event. Unfortunately, there was no clear notice or warning about this before purchasing tickets or entering. I was very disappointed because this was the primary reason for my visit, and I felt like I wasted my money coming here. I understand private events happen, but I believe guests should be informed ahead of time when a major attraction or feature is unavailable so they can make an informed decision before purchasing tickets :( Wanted to share this feedback in hopes that future visitors can have a better experience. read more

While in Seattle one has to check out the space needle. I thought it was a little spendy at $55 per person. There was probably a 35 minute wait for the elevator to the top. There's 2 levels which is pretty cool, one enclosed that rotates slowly with a couple bars, and an outside level (with high plexiglass walls). Both had great views!!! It's surprising how chilly and windy it is 520 feet up. It's definitely a great place to visit. I'm not sure if I would do it again but think everyone should check it out once. read more

Must come here if you have not been to Seattle and are looking for good pictures/views. The space needle is wheelchair accessible (must ask a staff member for assistance) and when using the elevator you will get priority access. The revolving glass floor is really neat and there is a bar as well! We went in July and it is pricey in the evening, costing $55 per person. It is cheaper in the morning, but keep the price in mind if you are looking for a cheap activity. Nearby is the glass garden and pop culture museum as well. Really cool experience! read more

Please buy the online ticket 24 hours in advance to save money, not worth the $53 ticket at the gate. My first time in Seattle so amongst our tourist stops we had to visit the space needle. It's cool, the ride up to the decks you get a fast-pace spill of landmarks and the views are nice. The glass floor can feel trippy but a unique experience. The gift shop was nice. The magnets and postcards weren't ridiculously priced, but of course there are other gift shops around. 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

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

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

Having visited the Space Needle once when I was a little girl with my Dad, it was fun to return as an adult. My husband and I booked a combination ticket for the Space Needle and the Chihuly Museum - great value! The Space Needle is a must for all visitors to Seattle. Reaching 605 feet into the air above Seattle, it cannot be missed. It offers the most breathtaking views of the city as it slowly turns around. It was a beautiful day and we were able to see the Puget Sound, Mount Rainier, and the Olympic mountains in the distance. Thankfully, there is an elevator that zooms to the observation deck in just 41 seconds. Once you get there, make sure to explore the outdoor terrace. The glass floor allows you to look straight down at the ground below! I only wish there was a way for them to tell us the sights we were seeing. read more

The Space Needle has been the defining symbol of Seattle since it was built for the 1962 World's Fair, and at 605 feet it still commands the skyline in a way that newer construction in the city has not displaced. I rode the glass sided elevator up, and it moved quickly, giving me a preview of the view before I reached the observation deck, which is worth being prepared for if heights give you pause. The observation deck itself has been substantially renovated, and the result is one of the more engaging viewing platforms of any major landmark in the country. I stood on the glass floor section, included with standard admission, and that element gets the most attention for good reason. Standing on clear glass with the city visible directly beneath my feet produced a vertigo that is different from simply looking over a railing. The rotating floor moves slowly and continuously, giving me a full 360 degree view of Seattle over the course of my visit without requiring me to move around the deck. On a clear day the view extends to Mount Rainier, the Olympic Mountains, and Elliott Bay, and the surrounding landscape puts the city in a geographic context that is genuinely striking. Sunset is the most popular time to visit, and the views in that window justify the demand. Buying tickets online in advance and reserving a time slot is effectively necessary during busy periods, and the time slot covers your place in line rather than your exact arrival at the top, so building in some flexibility is sensible. Lines can be long, particularly on weekends, but the operation moved efficiently once I was through the entry process. For an iconic Seattle experience that delivers on its reputation, the Space Needle is worth the trip. read more

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

First off, I think this is a must see - the Space Needle is an iconic landmark for Seattle and the architecture is absolutely incredible. There's a revolving glass floor and so if you're brave, you can muster up the courage to stand over the city of Seattle 600 feet in the air. If you sit in the same spot, you'll make one revolution in one hour and see a beautiful view of the bay, Mt. Rainier, and the downtown skyscrapers. I've visited other towers before and it makes the Space Needle a little pale in comparison. The surrounding area at night feels a bit sketchy. There isn't much to do in the tower - they have drinks and nice photo ops but that's about it. Directly below the tower only has the Chihuly glass garden...other than that, it's not too pretty to look straight down. The tickets are also quite pricey... read more

I had a great time at the Space Needle, but for me, that was an event that I had to see once. It is indeed iconic, but the tickets are incredibly costly for what they're worth. After we arrived, we were put in line to go up to the top for more than an hour. The entire place has very tight quarters and was absolutely jam-packed with people. Actually, it was quite difficult to enjoy the view when there were lots of unsupervised children running around both overlook decks. If you do, I highly recommend booking one of the earlier or later times of the day to avoid the hordes. That said, the top view is quite lovely and it's cool to have two viewing platforms. Overall, I'm happy that I did, but I will never again return. 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
