Fabulous view and close to other attractions. A city pass would have saved us more money but we combined chihuli glass and saved a bit Only bad point was abrupt disinterested young staff at the entrance. They were bored I think. As English people coming over from Canada it made me feel that USA is not as polite

DO book in advance, whatever the guidebooks say, or you may be disappointed. The queueing is tedious (hence 4 stars), but the views were stunning. It woukd have been nice to have some interpretation boards to help us learn about the amazing panorama, but (provided the weather's OK) it's a Seattle experience not to be missed.

As a first-time visitor to Seattle, I felt obligated to visit the Space Needle. Even though it was a gray day, the views were still interesting and the revolving clear floor offered some fun selfie opportunities. Good activity to combine with a visit to the Chihuly Garden and the Museum of Pop Culture. Take the monorail from downtown.

Iconic, must do when in Seattle and it doesn’t disappoint. We purchased day and night tickets, which is highly recommended. The nigh-time views are spectacular as you’d expect. During our daytime visit we had lunch in the revolving restaurant, which takes roughly 30mins to complete the 360 rotation. The food and drinks were excellent, recommended if you get chance.

Of course, this is one of the main things to go to in Seattle, but I advise you to get your tickets in advance and the earliest slot. It gets so packed. I went 15 years ago and it was way less crowded. Now it’s just ridiculous! Also, as you walk in, there’s stuff along the walls to look at, but since I knew I had been there before, I just walked right by it straight up to the line and literally skipped a bunch of people that were taking their time looking at the stuff. So if you think you have to stay in that line, you don’t, you can skip all of that and go right to where you get through the little bars. Once on the elevator they pack it so tight get a spot next to a window if you can. Once you’re at the top be sure to go around the whole circle. It’s really cool that they have a glass floor too so you can see straight to the bottom. They also have a couple of mini bars up there, which is fun! You can purchase the tickets online which is easier but if you want any sort of discount such as military, you have to wait in the line to buy tickets. Once you get those tickets, you wait in another line just to get in at a specific time. It’s so crowded now! But great views!

Updated since my last visit 20 years ago, the revolving glass floor of the lower observation deck is a great addition. Sadly, there is no longer a restaurant at the top of the Needle and the experience is simply not the same. Buy the CityPASS or C3 online to save on entrance prices but do it before you get there or you’ll be faffing about for ages! If you have mobility issues, there is a fantastic service for you and your party to help with accessibility which was offered to and much appreciated by my husband.

This is a must do when your in Seattle, it’s iconic! Have to make sure you buy your tickets in advance. My wife and I tried to walk up the day before and everything was sold out. It’s not anything they can help but I only gave it 4 stars because the dining option is not available currently. I would have loved to have experienced that. The views of Seattle were spectacular!

We went on the Space Needle after we toured the Chihuly gallery and garden. You can purchase tickets to both at the Chihuly. It was almost nighttime when we went up and views were spectacular. Seattle really shined at night even though it was raining. Don’t forget to go downstairs to the lower viewing area where you stand on the glass floor and look down from the needle as it rotates around.

Another awesome way to see the Seattle skyline. I went on a busy day so there was a wait but it was worth it. Stay up top in the revolving area and have a drink and see Seattle 360 degrees. Also scan the QR code sign and follow instructions to get a downloadable zoom in video of yourself in the top of the Space Needle.

It is a iconic addition to skyline, so I felt I had to visit. The line appeared long when I arrived, but it moved quickly. The view is great and well worth it. Easy to get around once you were up there. I liked it a lot and would not be opposed to be going again should I return
