Space Needle

A place like no other near Seattle in Washington

Space Needle

Seattle has a famous landmark called the Space Needle, standing at 605 feet tall. It was constructed for the 1962 World’s Fair and has become an iconic part of Seattle’s skyline due to its distinctive UFO-like appearance. From the round observation deck located at a height of 520 feet, visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of the city as well as the beautiful Cascade and Olympic mountain ranges. For those who prefer to stay closer to the ground, there is also a cocktail lounge called The Loupe, which has a unique feature—a revolving glass floor. Additionally, at the base of the tower, there is a gift shop called SpaceBase that you can explore.

Opinions about the prices at this place are divided among recent visitors. Some believe that the admission price is reasonable considering the spectacular views it offers, while others think that the view from the ground is equally impressive. Even those who find it expensive admit that for people visiting Seattle for the first time, it’s an essential attraction. A few reviewers suggest buying a CityPASS to save money. They also advise visiting on a clear day to fully enjoy the views, as foggy weather can hinder the experience.
