During a previous visit to Seattle, I spent time exploring both the interior and exterior of the Space Needle. I went up to the observation areas and enjoyed the views of the city and surrounding neighborhoods. I also browsed the souvenir store and took time to look through the various Seattle-themed items available for visitors. Seeing the skyline from above made the visit memorable, and it was interesting to experience one of Seattle's most recognizable attractions from both inside and outside.This year, my visit was much shorter because I was only in Seattle for a day. Instead of going back up the Space Needle, I spent time walking around the grounds, viewing the structure from the outside, and exploring other nearby events and attractions. I returned to the souvenir store and looked through some of the merchandise again. Even without visiting the observation deck, the Space Needle remained an easy landmark to spot while moving through the area.Overall, I enjoyed stopping by again during my trip. My earlier visit gave me the opportunity to experience the observation areas, while this year's visit was more focused on sightseeing around Seattle Center and revisiting the area. If you have never been before, I think seeing both the exterior and interior helps provide a fuller experience. Even on a shorter visit, it is still worth spending some time around the surrounding area.

Our first time in Seattle my friends and I of course had to go see it's most famous icon, the Space Needle! We lucked out and had a relatively sunny (just a bit of haze) for our trip. The views from the Needle were spectacular! You could also grab a snack up top, which was quite nice. Only downside was that admission cost was a bit pricey for something you would only spend a couple of hours in. All in all, I would recommend it for first time visitors to Seattle (people who have been to Seattle before mayfind it a bit been there, done that), but travelers ona budget should probably pass on it.

You can go up to the observation deck in an extremely quick lift. Views were amazing, literally in all directions as the floor is glass and revolves. There’s a cafe and bar at this level. There is also a large gift shop on the ground floor. It was very busy when we visited but we didn’t wait for very long for the lift. Well worth visiting for the incredible views around Seattle from the top.

We took my bff and her hubs to Space Needle (he’s never been to SEA and said he wanted to go. We got tickets easily and didn’t have to wait long to get on/up the elevator. It’s been a while since my hubs and I last went up top so it was fun for us as well.

The Space Needle is an observation tower in Seattle Centre next to Chihuly Garden and Glass. Its height is 605 ft (184 m). The tower’s saucer-shaped “top house” offers 360-degree panoramic views of downtown, Mount Rainier, Puget Sound, the Cascades and Olympic Mountain ranges. It looked stunning in day as well as in night time. It is one of the most photographed structure in the World. We were lucky to go there two times and had great views of the tower.
