Space Needle

Even if you're a local, you've got to visit the top at least once in your life. The views of the city and islands are beautiful. Follow @IsTheMountainOut on Twitter for a daily shot of Mt Rainier!

The Seattle Space Needle was opened in 1962 for the Seattle World's Fair and is 184 m high. There is a lot more to discover in this city though - let yourself be guided by the Lufthansa Travel Guide! Read more

Great views . Make sure you get your tix in advance. Make your reservations for the cafe days in advance. Sunset is the best time to visit. Beautiful spot!

Steep fees to go up ($32+) but the remodel really is stunning. The rotating glass floor is as cool as it is disorienting, and the all-glass deck is far and away better than the chain link of before!

Best view of Seattle . Had been there after dark. But I guess any time of the day is good.P.s the tower viewers aren't working properly.Try the caramel popcorn near viewing point.

Amazing views of Seattle ! Do the multi-tickets deal and check out the other attractions around it. Well worth it. Lines can be long but they move quickly so don't get turned off by them.

Amazing views !!! Dude, you can just skip the $16- ticket and eat @ the restaurant to get the views & go up the deck after your meal! Not much difference in view except for the fresh air ! ????????????⛅☔

This structure was once appropriately called the Eiffel Tower of the US. Too bad the view isn't as great as the city of Paris. But, Mt. Rainier and the sound makes up for it!

Go up about an hour before sunrise! It’s definitely worth the money to go up and have a look. There’s overpriced but delicious food up top and you can stay as long as you like.

The elevator ride up has glass walls as you ascend to the top. You'll arrive at an indoor/outdoor viewing area providing 360 degree breathtaking views of Seattle ,Puget Sound and Mount Rainier. Amazing

Love it! Its a most to visit at the city of Seattle, please visit the restaurant have a less crowded view with excellent food!!

It’s awesome, but expensive ): the virtual reality bungee jumping experience at the base is free however (yes, even if you don’t have a ticket!)

This is where the future lived 50 years ago. It still o ers a nice view . Trivia : the needle is privately owned, and images of it are copyrighted. This is why you don’t see it on local business logos.

Besides being an observation spot with great views of the city , the space needle is just pretty to look at! It's an easy landmark to spot. Also check out EMP and Science Center right next to it!

You can pay $19 to go to the top, or you can buy $25 min worth of food at the restaurant for entrance into the sky deck. Don't forget to check out the EMP Museum and Chihuly Gardens & Glass nearby!

Great views from up here! Definitely get a table at Sky City restaurant . The food isn't great but the rotating view on a clear day is to die for!

The interactive spaces, such as free photos and cam control/viewing, is a great way to engage people. It also means more bang for your buck ;) I love the futuristic feel and art direction.

I loved the view , make sure to go here on a day where the weather is nice and there aren't too many clouds. Definitely worth a visit!

Must see for visitors and locals alike. Nothing beats then quick lift rode and 360 view at the top. Go in the off season for a bit of breathing space ;)

Incredible view of Seattle and the surroundings. Book you tickets, then go next door to the Chihuly Garden and Glass while you wait for your time.

Went before the closing to avoid the line , used a city pass . What can I say, it’s Seattle’s most famous landmark . Just do it once ????.

At a price of $22 to catch a view of Seattle is a miss and hit. It isn't entirely a necessity because there are of course beautiful views elsewhere. A good view need not be from the top hey?!

Excellent views ! But price is really high for just an elevator ride up. If you decide to take this, take it with the Museum as well .

You can go to the top for free! Make a reservation for the restaurant at the top, which allows you access to observation deck for free. Then just go up & leave without ever going to the restaurant !

Must see. New observation deck has fun lean over the edge benches . Stunning views of Mount Rainier which is captivating.

The view is never old. Go there during sunset if it is a clear day or slightly after dark on a cloudy day to get the gorgeous city lights view .

A must see local attraction for Seattle. On a good day affords a gorgeous view of the city and beyond

ABSOLUTLY spectacular!! You can walk around the outside deck , come in, have a coffee , listen to some vintage tunes . Very clean and friendly ...oh yea, they serve beer

Amazing views of Pugent Sound as well as the montains and the city . A must-do, especially on a clear day .

A must-visit in Seattle. The views of the city are beautiful, and there is a bar at the top.

At peak times, pay the extra $12 for a VIP ticket in the group tickets line . It's the only way to avoid the DisneyWorld style lines . Park in Pacific Place and pick up the Monorail at Westlake Center.

Celebrating its 50th birthday this year, the Space Needle was built as a monument to science and technology. At the observation deck , visitors can dine at the beautifully retro Sky City restaurant . Read more

Incredible view ! How is it possible such an incredible architectural masterpiece to have a so strong popcorn smell?

They'll take your picture before you go up and there are kiosks above where you can select a background and email yourself a copy of he picture for free. Fun!

Locals know: the space needle is best seen from places other than the space needle. Don't bother going to the top. The view from Kerry park is much better, and free.

Day/night pass (you can go up 2 times) is included with the citypass and it's totally worth it! Also, you can email yourself the pic they take of you at no charge

A must visit when in Seattle. Great views from the top. Free photos taken from staff--emailed to you. Parking is not free. Numerous souvenirs.

If the tomahawk steak is on the menu, ask your server to reserve one ASAP. Then look at the menu. They go fast. Best steak ever! Big enough to share.

In 1999 an 85 million candela beam pointed skyward was added that is activated around a dozen nights year, an homage to the official 1962 World's Fair poster.

It's a must view , but nothing so incredible to see, try to visit on weekdays because it can get really busy, better going when weather is good.

Can't come to Seattle and not visit the needle. I went just before sunset and up to the sky deck and all i can say is the view was absolutely breathtaking to say the least couldn't have asked for more

It is nice to go to the top of the Needle, late in the day to watch the sun set and stay up there as it gets dark and watch the night lights of Seattle light up the skyline. Spectacular!

A visit to Seattle just isn't complete without a trip to the Space Needle. Journey skyward for amazing views , fine dining and an experience I will never forget.

Lots of fun going to the top. Great views of the city any time of the day. Restaurant is WAY over priced.

360 degree views of the downtown Seattle area. A must see if you are visiting!

if you're buying the combo tix, skip the long lines and go around the corner to the chihuly entrance- where a super lonely kiosk awaits

You have to do it once :) soo not cheap , nice view

Buy your tickets online to save a couple of bucks. They also have deeply discounted deals if you buy joint tickets with the Chihuly Exhibit .

Bring a coat and go to the restaurant . The ticket up is normally $19...so why not eat at the restaurant with a $25 minimum and a free ride up. Essentially, $6 lunch for a great lunch .

SkyCity Restaurant is the best place to view the entire city and includes your observation deck access.
