My family and I go to Gatlinburg each year...at least twice. We always go for the New Year's fireworks show from the Space Needle that is incredible, the area's best party.! We just got back and we were amazed at the changes made to the Space Needle. ...'bout time!!! The tower has been painted and new lighting added. The arcade... more

The Space Needle seems old and rickety, but I was glad we went up in it. The elevator did not load all the way when it arrived at the bottom for us to get in. They put us in the back side elevator which worked fine; although I was hesitant so an employee volunteered to ride up with us to... more

We had 2 18 year olds with us that wanted to climb the stairs to the top (they had challenged one another to see if they could do it and we like the physical exertion aspect of the challenge). They paid to enter only to discover the only way to the top was via elevator. They returned to the front... more

The view was absolutly wonderful and the price was good, but there was only one of the two elevators working. The elevator that was working was rough looking and sounding to say the least. On the entire way up all you could hear was screeches, clinkings, and clankings. It was a little unnerving. The building is a little offputting because... more

Fantastic 360 view of Mountains and Gatlinburg! Best Value - you get 2 trips up the elevator! I went midday and took pictures and went up again at night and took more! No wait, great view, 2 trips up and cheap price ($7.95 for adults) made it beyond worth it! more

I have been up on the Space Needle many times. I really enjoyed it. It is the best place to view the landscape of the Smokey Mountains.There are also many other things to do if you are scared of heights. I will do it again when I return to Gatlinburg. It is breath taking being that high. When the the... more

This business is in excellent shape. A newly painted tower and observation deck. With what appears to be new lighting as well. The tower was refurbished during the summer of 07. Two (Glass view) Elevators give beautiful views on your way up and down. We felt 100 percent safe the whole time. It's just beautiful up there. This is our... more

The view is absolutely amazing and the space needle is a great photo opportunity. However, I was slighlty terrified once I got up to the top. The metal floor is rusted with small holes throughout it. Its basically a ghetto version of the Seattle Space needle. With the condition that the tower is in, I highly doubt this attraction will... more

My family and I went to the Space Needle in Gatlinburg during the second week in July. This is a heavily advertised attraction in all the tourist leaflets. We went on a Sunday afternoon. The place was deserted-besides our party of 4, there were just a few other people in the attraction. There is a Laser Tag area, a small... more
