Review of Space Needle

Space Needle: Iconic Observation Tower and Tourist Attraction in Seattle

The Space Needle is an iconic observation tower and one of the most recognizable landmarks in the Pacific Northwest. Located at 400 Broad St, Seattle, Washington, this 605-ft-tall spire at the Seattle Center offers stunning views of the city and surrounding area. The sleek and futuristic design of the tower was inspired by the theme of the 1962 World's Fair held in Seattle.

As you approach the tower, you'll be impressed by its unique design. When you step inside the elevators, you'll be whisked up to the observation deck in just 41 seconds. From there, you'll have a 360-degree view of the city, the Puget Sound, and the stunning mountains in the distance. The observation deck is a must-visit for anyone who wants to see the beauty of Seattle from a high vantage point.

The tower also features a rotating restaurant, a cafe, and a wine bar. The restaurant offers a unique dining experience with a revolving glass floor that rotates 360 degrees every hour. The cafe and wine bar offer a great selection of food and drinks for visitors to enjoy.

Aside from the observation deck and dining options, the Space Needle also has a gift shop where visitors can buy souvenirs and memorabilia. The tower is open every day from 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM, and the admission fee is a bit pricey, but it's worth it for the stunning views and unique experience.

The Space Needle is a popular tourist attraction in Seattle, and it's a must-visit for anyone who wants to see the city from a different perspective. The tower is also a great place to learn about Seattle's history, with exhibits on the ground floor that tell the story of the city.

If you're planning to visit Seattle, don't miss the chance to visit the Space Needle. It's a one-of-a-kind experience that you won't forget.

this place is a calling card for Seattle and the whole world knows. who wants to visit here should be calculated about 2 hours, if everything is fine to inspect. The appointed time does not mean that you will immediately go upstairs, I was in the morning hours and a little earlier than the appointed time and everything exactly had to stand in line for about 15 minutes. but it's all worth the wait. the landscape is gorgeous, the city, the bay is a great view from above. there is a place to sit and have a bite, there are free drinks, there is a restaurant. two levels. it's interesting when you watch the tower spin and you yourself are inside. you can take great pictures. there is a large gift shop downstairs. I am very glad. I advise everyone to visit.

Amazing views of the city and the sound. Worth the wait. Get your ticket from the on-site machines so you don't have to commit to a time to far in advance. The outside viewing deck is awe inspiring. Built in 1961-62, (370 days), it is crazy how quickly they were able to complete the structure. The wallboard along the hall were very interesting and helped pass the time inline. The revolving deck just below the observation deck is cool, as it has a see through floor on the outer most area.

Having been up many towers throughout the world, this one was on my bucket list and it didn't disappoint.
The queue was long despite having pre-booked tickets but it seems to move at a reasonable pace.
The information board on the construction of the Space Needle was interesting and reading it took away the monotony of standing in the queue.
The elevator up offered views over the city and the view from the top, especially on a good at was breath taking. There are plenty of points of interest throughout the stroll around the top. The views across the bay and downtown are amazing.
The revolving floor was interesting to see and feel. The glass floor was a nice touch too.
The gift shop at the bottom was well stocked and reasonably priced, if you are into souvenirs of your trip. The shop is also cashless.
All staff encountered were friendly and helpful.
If in Seattle this is definitely a place to visit.

It was actually a lot of fun! It was cloudy when we got there, but by the time we got to the top the skies had cleared and we got to experience the most amazing views! The revolving glass floor on the lower level is beautiful and a fun time all around. Loved the gift shop too!

Gorgeous View from the top of the Seattle Space Needle! Definitely top on the list if traveling to Seattle. We enjoyed the observation deck and especially the walk over the clear see though floor which is for the brave heart because it could be difficult for some. Or they would just chose to not look down. But it's a one of kind experience that I would highly recommend. I enjoyed it so much I took video of that walk. We traveled here back in 2019 and would love to go back.

Climbing up in a transparent elevator to the second floor where there is an impressive 360-degree view of Seattle and the surrounding mountains. It is worth going up on a clear day when visibility is good. Upstairs there is a bar and a food stand. There are stairs to the first floor and there is a revolving restaurant with a transparent floor. Cool experience in Seattle, highly recommend. Worth knowing: You can buy a ticket combined with the Glass Museum and save $ 10.

What an incredible view ! It is a bit pricey to get up there. $35.00 a person. There is a bar sort of at the too. Highly suggest you make reservations for it as it was packed. They don't really offer food. Thar would make this place even better and I would say worth the 💰 cost of admission. Anyhow it was a great view of the city. Parking is not cheap either but its kinda pricey to park anywhere in Washington. I suggest this place just because it is so tall and the views are great.

The staff is not overly helpful. But even so nobody was rude either. If visiting Seattle it is a must see. Take a walk around in the local parks and you can get a great view of Mount Rainier. Felt very safe walking in and around the city.. definitely glad I went.. Words and pics cannot give it justice..

Awesome history and experience 👏 definitely a must see on your visit!

The elevator escort person was outstanding! Didn't catch his name but he sang to us on the way down and was highly entertaining- give that man a raise!

The drinks on the rotating platform were delicious and unique 😋 all around a very fun experience!

I was so pleased, happy and excited about our family first time at the Space Needle. Our children would mention it every single time we came to Seattle and this past Friday we FINALLY went and the whole experience was cool and very mind-blowing!! We "family of 4" got to enjoy and explore both levels including the gift shop. My children loved their sprinkle cookies and very delicious cupcakes (I took a bite). The wine bar was stunning and I tasted my husband's beer and it was the best beer I've ever had (I'm a wine gal). The atmosphere was a so chill, everyone who was there was nice, the staff were very welcoming and that's all I want when I go to visit a new place. I really appreciate this forever memory with my family. Thank you to all the staff and the clean environment you all helped keep up... really good times and forever lasting memories. BTW upon entering they take a free professional picture and you can find it on your 🎟.
