We got some great pictures, and it was fun to ride the elevator to the top, but this wasn't our favorite thing to do in Seattle. Worth doing if you're a first-timer, but don't feel bad if you miss it or don't have time. more

I went to the Seattle Space Needle with my mom, grandmother, and aunt in celebration of my aunt's birthday. She's a bit obsessed with the Space Needle. The 360 degree view is breathtaking, especially during sunset and just as the building lights start to become visible. The food was pretty good too, however, being a vegetarian, my choices were pretty... more

We had breakfast first in the restaurant at the Space Needle and it was perfect. The food was delicious (and plenty of it!), the view was amazing, and the rotating restaurant was the coolest thing. We went to the upper deck afterward for the views and there is just nothing like it. I am so glad we took the time... more

Seattle Washington has lots to offer whether you are vacationing or live here! From ferry rides on the largest ferry system in the world, trips up to the top of the Space Needle and the flying fish in the Pike Place Market, Seattle is a wonderful city. Insider tip, check out the old fashioned donut machine to the left of... more

Memorable ride in the elevator to the observation area, with many ways to get the lay of the land at the top...360-degree views of the city outside and zoom-in views of the various neighborhoods inside. Great stop before or after exploring the city to either plan your itinerary or for a greater appreciation of where you've been. more

Of course while in Seattle you must do the Space Needle! It was a great way to get out of the cold and see Seattle's beauty from high above. My husband and I got the Day and Night passes at $21 each. Its worth seeing Seattle in the day and then at night. The beautiful scenery that surrounds Seattle is... more

Oh, seeing Seattle from the top of the space needle was incredible. A must see attraction, despite what the locals say. You just have to do it! Have an appetizer and a "bottle" of wine in the restaraunt. Keep in mind if you don't want a full dinner, there is still a $35 min per person to sit in the... more
