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.

As someone that fears heights this was both frightening and beautiful to experience. The views are amazing and it's definitely worth visiting, especially if you plan for it to be a one-time event. Purchase the City pass that includes additional access to the aquarium, Museum of Glass, Museum of Modern Art, and the ferry ride; You'll save money and enjoy all of the attractions

A bit pricey to go up, but having never doing this and visiting Seattle for the first time made it worth it for our group. We didn't have too long of a wait, and they have interesting facts about the construction of the Space Needle to read about while waiting for the elevator. Gorgeous views of Seattle and Puget Sound from the top! We also enjoyed looking down through the glass floor. They also took a picture of our group before heading up which was a quality photo and free to download, viewable and able to download from kiosk/machines at the top of the Space Needle. Highly recommend, especially if it's your first time visiting!!

We loved it!! My son was terrified but said he had fun as well, but that's when he was looking at a replica of the venue. My daughter liked being able to see the gear that turns the top, and enjoyed seeing the city from afar. The elevator ride up and down also gives you an adrenaline rush.

This was my first trip to the world famous Space Needle in Seattle, WA! My lady and I had a Blast! It was perfect crisp weather making for a gorgeous afternoon. The line wasn’t bad, and I was able to get tickets online ahead of time to make entry easier. Everyone was very nice, staff was helpful and cheerful. There was a professional photographer named Hazel who was hanging out and offering free photos for patrons, so cool! Also they have a great system worked out for photos taken at the Space Needle that allows access through your admission ticket number. I have traveled to Seattle several times, but to get on an elevator that takes you to the observation deck high above the city, with a 360 degree bird’s eye view, was exhilarating! It was an experience that I will remember for a lifetime!

Went many times and this iconic tower makes Seattle stands tall at 520 feet. Once you are at the top of the space needle, you see the waterfront, mega buildings, and also cascades. The best time among my visits is during summer as you see everything around without the cloud cover. Enjoy taking the high-speed elevator and rotating glass floor. Enjoyed the views and took so many photos with my family including kids of which one is a toddler. Digital photos taken at Space needle are free to download and I hope they won't change this in the future. I strongly recommend it if you are new to the City or never visited this tower before.

great view of Seattle, I believe the best view in the City. the tour is well organized, the line is long of course, you can buy the tickets online or at the machines next to the entrance. there is a nice park next to it that you can sit and enjoy a little while you wait. There is a monorail that can take you to different parts of the city as well. Now at the top, there is a glass floor that rotates, TERRIFYING, but very enjoyable, if you have the stomach for it, if not, just stand back and watch other people's look of fear while they step on it.

Awesome views, the rotating glass floor is super cool. It's nice they don't limit your time on the observation deck, I stayed for over 90 minutes. The line to get in also moved pretty efficiently. It's pricey but worth it in my opinion.

I had previously been to Seattle but didn’t get the opportunity to visit the space needle so I made sure to make it a must this go round. The views are breathtaking, and I absolutely loved the ambiance. The weather was perfect and we got to enjoy the clear skies and sun! I’m a bit afraid of heights, but I would hands down recommend this as a must do in Seattle.

The Space Needle is a beautiful place and symbol of Seattle. You can have a great time there. There is a souvenir shop on the ground floor, and a little higher you can see the Museum of the History of the Space Needle. However, the most interesting is at the top. You can see a beautiful view of the city, Cascade Mountains, Mount Rainier, Mount Baker, Elliott Bay, and various islands in Puget Sound. I recommend you go to the Space Needle on a sunny day. I was on a rainy day and it prevented me from enjoying all the great views. However, it was worth it.
