I read every review before my visit. Some good, some bad but I opted to go with the good and eat there. I am so glad I did! I went last Saturday June 8th for brunch. My server "Ashli" was awesome and very attentive. For my brunch choice main course I had "prime rib" and for the starter I had... More

Went on a Sunday evening, on lines, and free parking on the street. the outdoor observation area was a little windy, better view from the inside. Have to leave the stroller down by the entrance. Liked the free photo that was emailed to me.

Wow, the view from the top is so beautiful! You are able to see Canada and southern Washington. In the bay, boats and sail boats. The day we visited the wind was calm and it was so super quiet. We purchased the pass to visit twice in one day. We saw the view from the early morning and again at... More

You can't come to Seattle and not do this. Nothing much up top but a great view. Elevator doesn't move too fast so its not a problem to take your stomach away.

Great views of the city and if you go on a clear day you can see mt. St. Helens. Buy the combo pass with the chihuly glass and gardens and you'll save $5

i chose not to go up the space needle as i prefer to enjoy the surrounding. EMS Museum was worth visiting and it was just around the corner. i like the live music they had around the area. from the red indian music, to bob marley's and some blues music played by a musician. with the beautiful weather....i loved the...

Got to visit the space needle as part of the Seattle City Tour. Great Views, well worth the time and cost just to see all of Seattle, the Olympic Mts. And Mt. Ranier from the top.

Pretty cool landmark, great views of Seattle and quite good fun. However, something that is probably not worth doing more than once in a lifetime. Pricey for what you get but again, you do it once in your lifetime (most likely) - so, just do it and enjoy!

What is visiting Seattle if you do not go the see the Space Needle! Built for the World's Fair this landmark is a must see in Seattle. Offers great view of the City. Self paced visit, no guide and you may take your time. Tip: when riding the elevator going up (or down), stay near the door to enjoy the... More
