Space Needle

The Space Needle is Seattle's most famous landmark and is generally worth a visit. A CityPass includes both daytime and evening show tickets, which you need to exchange for downstairs before going upstairs to queue for security. We stayed nearby, so we strolled over at night to see the night view and then returned during the day the next day. Seattle felt completely different during the day and at night. Needless to say, the night view is breathtaking. You can see so much during the day that you can't at night, like the colorfully painted rooftops. A special mention goes to the Pacific Science Center. "Wow, what a view! The Space Needle is amazing! Curious? Come down and see me!" It was quite cheeky. There's a section of the observation deck with a glass floor, so those who aren't afraid of heights can lie down and pose for photos.

The Space Needle is a city landmark. Anyone who's seen any American TV show or movie set in Seattle will be familiar with it. Originally built for the 1962 World's Fair, it's now a popular attraction, welcoming nearly 20,000 visitors daily. Overall, it's very similar to the Macau Tower, which I've visited before, both in terms of exterior design and its rotating observation deck. Of course, in terms of fame, the Macau Tower can't compare to the Space Needle; after all, shows like "Sleepless in Seattle" and "Grey's Anatomy" have brought the latter to global attention. We bought a CityPass, which included two admissions to the Space Needle: one during the day and one at night. While there were quite a few people when we arrived, it wasn't as crowded as we'd expected, and the line was only a short one. We took the high-speed elevator up to the 160-meter-high observation deck, offering panoramic views of Seattle and, on clear days, even Mount Rainier in the distance. As a must-see attraction, the view during the day was average, but a second visit in the evening to watch the sunset was quite stunning. However, the windows are not very clean, so if you take pictures close to the windows, there will be small flaws, which can only be removed later.

A must-see attraction. While its scale isn't comparable to similar buildings in China, it's still quite impressive considering it was built in less than 100 days in the 1960s and was a private, rather than government, project. From the top, you'll feel like Seattle is a city built in a garden. The surrounding plazas also have an artistic atmosphere.

There are actually quite a few squares around the Space Needle, where you can walk around it and appreciate the beauty of this iconic Seattle building from all angles.

The Space Needle, under the autumn colors, seems even more beautiful than the last time I visited! However, it seems that the top of the Space Needle has undergone some renovations in the past two years. This time, it has changed a lot. The top of the Space Needle has been transformed into a two-story structure for tourists to visit, and you can take the elevator directly to the top floor.

There is a viewing floor surrounded by transparent glass where you can walk outside. The 360-degree transparent glass does not block the view and can also play a protective role.

Going down one level, you'll find a transparent walkway. Those with a fear of heights should be careful; the sensation of walking suspended atop the Space Needle will make your legs ache. If you look closely, you'll notice that this level actually rotates! While this level also has transparent windows, the effect isn't as clear as the one above, and since it's indoors, it feels safer and warmer. Another unique feature of this level is a large screen where you can log your visit by simply tapping on it. The top floor is primarily for viewing, though there are some seats and a coffee bar where you can relax, though it doesn't seem to be open during the day. After exploring the top observation deck, return to the souvenir center on the first floor to buy some souvenirs, although many of the handicrafts are made in China.

If you buy a City Pass, you can go once during the day and once at night within 24 hours.

The Space Needle is an observation deck for the city scenery. Going there during the day is mainly to see the city’s architecture and landscape, and it is better for taking photos of people.

Then you can go in the evening to watch the sunset and wait until the lights appear at night. The whole process is very enjoyable. You can sit outdoors or buy a cup of coffee and sit on a chair indoors. The revolving restaurant is one floor below the top floor. You can usually make reservations a month in advance. The interior is under renovation recently, and the revolving part is open to the public. It is also a good place to take photos.

From the Space Needle, you can see that Seattle has a very rich landscape, including plains, hills, forests, oceans, lakes, snow-capped mountains, a CBD with high-rise buildings, clearly divided blocks, two- or three-story residential areas, and relatively large public buildings.

Take the elevator, which takes one minute to go up and one minute to go down. On the way back, take the spiral staircase down one floor and feel the transparent glass rotating automatically. It really tests your courage.

The Space Needle spins, its gears clenching against each other, a steady, thrilling, and joyful experience. The crowds are endless. Tickets are $39 per ticket, $34 for seniors. No ID is required; just your word is believed. The word "trust" is incredibly important here; there are no national boundaries or racial discrimination. Also, there are very few Asian faces in the needle, and people in their sixties like me are even rarer. I stand out from the crowd, hahaha… happiness index.

There weren't many people there, and the viewing platform wasn't very big, but we were lucky. It was said that the largest renovation in history had just been completed, and the view was greatly improved.

The good thing about the viewing platform is that there are a circle of benches on the edge, so you can take selfies against the outer glass, which is quite interesting. Overall, it is very good to spend half an hour looking at the scenery.

A must-see in Seattle is the Space Needle! This iconic building in the Pacific Northwest offers breathtaking views of the surrounding water, downtown buildings, and nearby mountains from its rooftop observation deck, which is framed by glass walls that wrap around the floor and ceiling.

It is worth mentioning that you can experience the world's most advanced holographic imaging technology, which is a surprise!

Although not as high as the Columbia Observation Deck, as a landmark building in Seattle, I personally recommend the Space Needle. (Because the Columbia Observation Deck is indoors, you can only see the panoramic view of Seattle through the window, while the Space Needle Observation Deck is outdoors and has a better view through the all-glass windows.)

There is an entire wall of touch-screen LEDs in the lobby, displaying photos of the Space Needle shared by tourists from all over the world on social platforms. You can click on any picture to view it.

Go down one level from the observation deck and you'll reach a place similar to a "glass plank road" where you can walk around the room. Those who are not afraid of heights can try it!

If you want to see the night view of Seattle from the Space Needle, please make sure to go there later!

Tips: Although it is the height of August, it is still quite cold on top of the Space Needle after the afternoon. It was also quite windy when we went there. It is recommended to bring a slightly thicker coat. It would be a bit unbearable if you wear shorts and short sleeves!

After leaving the Boeing factory, the sun was already setting. We took a taxi back to downtown Seattle and climbed to the summit of the Space Needle. The Space Needle is a truly iconic Seattle landmark. We briefly toured the Needle. The observation deck, over 150 meters high, is entirely indoors, but that didn't prevent us from taking in the sights of Seattle. The Space Needle, built in response to the 1962 World's Fair, remains a timeless landmark, dominating the Seattle skyline.

The Space Needle is an observation tower in Seattle and one of the city's landmarks. Built in 1961 for the 1962 World's Fair, the Needle welcomed 2.3 million visitors during the event. Standing 184 meters tall, with its top floor 158 meters above the ground, the Needle was one of the tallest buildings in the Western United States at the time of its construction. At its widest point, the Needle measures 42 meters and weighs 9,550 tons. It's designed to withstand a magnitude 9.1 earthquake and winds of 10 kilometers per hour. Unfortunately, I didn't climb to the top; I wonder if the view would have been better. Honestly, the Space Needle is even more beautiful at night, but unfortunately, I only saw it from a car, so the photos are blurry.

The 360-degree rotating glass viewing platform + transparent glass chairs + glass floor + top-floor restaurant are worth checking in. It's not high, only about 100 meters.

A must-see attraction in Seattle. If the weather is good, you can see Mount Rainier.

Our hotel was just two blocks from the Space Needle, so we parked our car and walked there. There are plenty of parking spots near the Space Needle, but they all charge a fee. Every major city has a landmark tower: Paris has the Eiffel Tower, Tokyo has the Tokyo Tower, and Shanghai has the Oriental Pearl Tower. We've already been to all three towers, and we took panoramic photos of Seattle last night, so we didn't plan to climb them. If you want panoramic city views, climbing the tower is a great option. The ticket office is on the back of the tower on the first floor. The lobby on the first floor has a souvenir shop and a bungee jumping experience, which I saw many people trying. There's also an entrance to the rotating Sky City restaurant nearby.

When I made my reservation, I saw the recent sunset time was around 7:00 PM, so I booked for 6:30 PM. This allowed me to see the different views before and after sunset. The Space Needle's revolving restaurant was under renovation, so I was disappointed I couldn't experience it. The 520-foot-tall observatory offers a 360-degree panoramic view of Seattle. The Space Needle may be older, but its classic charm is always vibrant. Beneath the blue sky, the Space Needle remains the city's undisputed landmark.

From the tower, you can overlook the entire Seattle and see Mount Rainier, which is very spectacular. You can also send photos you took before going up to the tower by entering your email address.

Seattle Center is a landmark building in Seattle.

Entering the reading room, I was struck by the serene atmosphere of Hogwarts. My intelligence and character instantly soared a hundredfold! The building, reminiscent of a British castle, felt like a scene straight out of a Harry Potter film. It was truly a truly memorable experience!

A check-in spot in Seattle, you can go up and see the whole Seattle!

The Space Needle is a landmark building in Seattle, and the best vantage point for photographing the Space Needle is Carey Park on Queen Anne Hill in the north of the city.

From this perspective, the Space Needle looks like a flying saucer. Our Oriental Pearl Tower is taller and more impressive than it.

Climb up to enjoy the night view from the 360-degree observation deck, with a large floor-to-ceiling glass panel tilted 20 degrees outward. On the left is the city of Seattle, and on the right is the mountains, lakes, and the sea.

My favorite spot in Seattle! You can see the distant view of this small city and the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

The Space Needle is an observation tower in Seattle, Washington, USA. It is one of the city's landmarks. The Space Needle, as seen today, is older, and would likely look more beautiful with the lights on at night.

The Seattle Space Needle is the city's iconic building, built for the 1962 World's Fair, just as the Eiffel Tower in Paris was built for the 1889 World's Fair.

Just like the China Pavilion was built for the Shanghai World Expo, there is no need to climb the tower to overlook it.

Seattle's landmark building, you can go up, but we didn't go there because parking is not easy.

Very good, worth a visit. We went there at night and saw the night view of the whole Seattle ~ very beautiful #very beautiful ~

You can buy a combined ticket at Chihuly Garden, which is cheaper than buying them individually. Consider climbing the Space Needle for a panoramic view. From there, you'll get a 360-degree view of Seattle: skyscrapers, residential buildings, modern docks, and the vast ocean. It's a beautiful city, a peaceful city, a slow-paced city—it's my favorite city.

One of Seattle's most famous landmarks

It attracts tourists from all over the world every year.

It's worth a visit. As a landmark, it's steeped in history and story. As of July 2018, parts of the viewing area were still under renovation, and the entire area was renovated with large floor-to-ceiling windows. The view from the observation deck is great, and a combined ticket to the adjacent glass park is just over $40. I visited for my wife's birthday and the weather was great, so we had a great time.

Good

Unfortunately, when we arrived, ticket sales had already stopped. Also, because it was late, the parking lot next to it, which was very expensive during the day, was no longer charging. The first floor of the Space Needle is a whole circle of souvenir shops, which still have all kinds of refrigerator magnets, clothing, etc.

A Seattle landmark, it's a 25-minute walk from Pike Place Market. The revolving restaurant was under renovation when I went there, and only a portion of the observation deck was open, so I didn't go up, but just wandered around.

The Space Needle, beneath the blue sky, remains the city's undisputed landmark. Built for the 1962 World's Fair, it boasts a glass museum on the grounds, showcasing blown glass art in a variety of shapes. The 184-meter-tall Space Needle appears particularly exquisite against the blue sky.

You can see the night view from the top, but the Space Needle is more beautiful when viewed from a distant mountain.

Built for the World Expo, it has become a landmark and a business card for the city. The Space Needle receives a large number of tourists every day, and those who want to take the elevator to the top of the tower must make an appointment in advance.

Standing on the open-air observation deck, you can see the skyscrapers, mountains and bays in the distance! But to be honest, the cold and rainy weather, the biting wind, and the feeling that half of the site is a construction site have greatly reduced our experience.

If you have seen tall towers in other cities, such as the Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai, you will definitely not be interested in the Space Needle because it is too short, so I didn't go up.

The Space Needle is a must-see for Seattle tourists. It is recommended to go there at night to enjoy the night view of Seattle. The restaurant at the Space Needle is also very good.

The landmark building is still under renovation. It is not as good as the Tokyo Skytree, but it wins in history, nothing else.

As a Seattle landmark, it's a must-see! If you have the chance, it's best to visit twice: once during the day when the weather is good, and again at night. You don't need to climb the tower at night; just admire it from a distance or from below. The Space Needle is even more stunning when illuminated. If you visit during the day and the weather is good, definitely climb the tower and walk around it for the amazing views.

When I went to the top, the revolving restaurant was under renovation. The view was blocked by a pile of wooden boards, which really affected the overall sightseeing and photo taking experience!

Visiting Seattle and not seeing the Space Needle is like visiting Paris and not seeing the Eiffel Tower, or New York and not seeing the Empire State Building. No matter where you are in the city, you can always see the Space Needle.

Take the elevator at a speed of 16 kilometers per hour to the top of the tower, and the whole city seems to have turned into a miniature sand table. When the weather is good, Mount Rainier (***) in the distance is also clearly visible.

There are also fireworks displays at the Space Needle on Independence Day and New Year's Day.

The Space Needle has many unique merchandise, so you'll need to spend some time shopping.

If you don't go up, just look outside. Everyone who goes up will regret it.

The Space Needle is an iconic landmark in Seattle. You can climb the tower to see the panoramic view of Seattle and dine in the revolving restaurant.

A landmark in Seattle. It's not very high in absolute terms, but it's located on a slight slope, so the view from the top is fantastic. It can also be seen from many places in the city.

Every modern city has an observation tower offering panoramic views. The Space Needle, located in Seattle Center, a hub for arts, education, and entertainment, is a delight to climb and a pleasant stroll below. However, the most iconic Seattle viewpoint is from Kerry Park.

You can enjoy the beautiful view of Seattle without any obstacles.

The Needle is a symbol of Seattle. There is a revolving restaurant on top that overlooks the scenery of Seattle, and a souvenir shop below.

A classic landmark in Seattle. There's nothing else to describe it. Haha.

It was built for the 1962 World's Fair held in Seattle.

It is now Seattle's number one landmark, equivalent to the Hollywood sign in Los Angeles, the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and the Statue of Liberty in New York.

You can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of Seattle from the observation deck and revolving restaurant 520 feet above the ground.

There is an electronic screen on the sightseeing deck where you can enter your name and city to see if you are the first person to climb the Needle.



If you go to the restaurant to eat, you don't need to buy a ticket.

The revolving restaurant at the top of the tower had dinner, and you could slowly enjoy the beautiful scenery of Seattle in all directions. If you choose to go at dusk, you might even be able to see the sunset if the weather is good. However, the food in the restaurant was not satisfactory. It cost $70 per person and was not tasty. It was too salty, too sweet, and too sour. If you dine in the restaurant, you don't have to pay for the Space Needle ticket, and you can go directly to the top.

We arrived at the Space Needle around 7pm. The sunset in Seattle is very late, even on rainy days, it's after 8pm. The restaurant on the Space Needle is called SkyCity at the Needle. It's best to make reservations in advance. We didn't make any reservations, and when we arrived, the front desk told us there were still tables available at 7:45pm. Buying a ticket directly to the observation deck at the top of the tower costs $23 per person, and the minimum charge at the restaurant is $35 per person. We were a little hesitant about which way to get up to the tower, and since it was raining heavily and visibility was low, we gave up and booked a table for 7:15pm the next day (which allowed us to go up 40 minutes earlier to enjoy the view). We browsed around the souvenir shop at the bottom of the tower and then walked home. Google Maps showed the journey was about 50 minutes, but the annoying thing was that it was uphill all the way back.

It's necessary to go and see it, just like going to Taipei 101, you'll feel regretful if you don't go up to see the panoramic view, but it's just that it's worth it if you go!

It’s a pity that I didn’t go up, but the souvenirs are really worth buying.

It overlooks downtown Seattle and has Mount Rainier in the distance.

The day has its vastness, and the night has its charm.

You can visit the attractions included in the City Pass twice, once during the day and once at night, to experience a different Seattle.

Friends who have watched "Sleepless in Seattle" and "Beijing Meets Seattle" must be familiar with this place. The weather conditions were very good that day, and we could see Mount Rainier in the distance. It is said that it rains in Seattle for eight months a year. It seems that I am lucky.

Seattle's landmark building, a bird's eye view of the entire Seattle city center

This Seattle landmark isn't particularly tall, but in a city like Seattle, where there aren't many skyscrapers, climbing up gives you a bird's-eye view of the West Side...

We went there at the beginning of August, which happened to be the Ocean Festival. There was a Blue Angels flying show, which was very exciting to watch.

There is a large screen at the top of the tower for photo display and interaction, reflecting the flavor of a technological city.

You should be here

After taking my kids there, I kept asking when I could go again.

The Space Needle is Seattle's most iconic building. Designed for the 1962 World's Fair, it was built in 1961, taking less than a year to complete. The Space Needle's observation deck is modeled after a UFO, and the 520-foot (158-meter) walkway offers a 360-degree view of the city.

The security check before going up to the tower was even more thorough than before boarding the plane. The staff patiently checked every corner of my bag. The elevator ride to the top took about 43 seconds, and the attendant diligently explained everything about the Space Needle. The same thing happened when we got off the tower.

Inside the observation hall, visitors can learn more about the Space Needle and Seattle, and there's also a snack bar. The outdoor walkway offers a panoramic view of Seattle, accompanied by beautiful music, filling the city with a romantic and warm atmosphere.

We wandered around the observation deck, leisurely enjoying the end of our trip. Watching Seattle's vibrant sun and dusk, we discovered how incredibly diverse and beautiful this city is. Within a single day, we'd fallen deeply in love with it. Sadly, even with the beautiful scenery and clear skies, Mount Rainier (***) remained shrouded in mist and closed its doors to visitors.

The Space Needle's tour services are meticulous and thoughtful, too numerous to mention. Before ascending the tower, staff will take a photo with a blank background for each visitor. Visitors can then use the self-service device in the observation hall to select a background for the composite photo, which will be sent to a designated email address free of charge. There's also a camera on the observation walkway outside the hall, with Seattle's CBD as the backdrop. Simply tap your ticket to take a countdown photo, which will also be sent to a designated email address free of charge. On the main LED screen in the observation hall, you can enter your name and city of residence to see how many visitors have climbed the Space Needle.

As a landmark building in Seattle, you can see the cityscape of Seattle.

From the EMP Museum, it's about a two-minute walk to the Space Needle. City pass holders need to exchange and print their tickets at the machine next to the ticket office. Remember to keep your ticket safe, as there are two opportunities to go up to the top of the tower, both with the same ticket. There is no time limit. Although there are time options, you can ignore them. The opening hours are until 9 p.m. After entering, after a simple bag search, it's time for the usual group photo. This photo can be sent free of charge to the email address you entered via the machine on the top floor. When checking your ticket, she will ask you how many times you have been up there, just answer truthfully. The elevator ride takes less than a minute and you'll reach the top floor. The view is even more beautiful at dusk.

Seattle Space Needle

Finally, braving strong winds, we climbed Seattle's iconic Space Needle, built for the 1962 World's Fair. It's hard to believe such a slender structure could withstand 320 km/h winds and a 9.1 magnitude earthquake. Tuanzi's father isn't particularly interested in city landmarks like these, but it would be nice to climb up in the evening to watch the breathtaking sunset over Seattle Bay. But that's for another time.

It is a landmark of Seattle, located near the Seattle Center. You can go up, but we didn’t. We just looked up from below.

One of the landmarks of Seattle, come and visit. It was an autumn morning when I went there, and the weather was cool and comfortable.

It is also a place to climb high and have a good view of the Seattle scenery. On a clear day, you can see the snow-capped mountains. However, we did not go up. First, the price is a bit high, more than $20 for a trip up. Second, we have been to too many high-rise buildings and towers, so this seems to be of little significance, because Kerry Park can still offer a panoramic view.

A great place to overlook Seattle. You can buy a combined ticket for the Glass Museum and the Space Needle. The view is amazing at night, and the wind is super strong. You get a ticket at the entrance, and you can take free photos at the top of the tower with the entire city as the background. You can then email it for free!

You can see the scenery of Seattle ~ It's also worth a visit ~

Another Seattle landmark. Seattle boasts two defining characteristics: its abundance of quirks and its abundance of technology. I initially thought the Space Needle was just an ordinary observation tower, nothing special. But upon entering, I saw a computer program capturing the four-dimensional landscape, along with a wall where each visitor could record their location. Isn't that the legendary big data? The city of technology lives up to its reputation!

It is a must-see place in Seattle, but it is better to go to Kerry Park or some observation decks to see it.

Due to time constraints, we only stayed at the bottom of the tower and did not go up. The Space Needle lets in a group of tourists every half an hour, so everyone should calculate the time.
