Seattle rocks for having a monorail. I thought it was so cool to ride in one in an actual city instead of Disney. Its a little pricey but very unique. Great way to get from point A to point B.

No stops. More of a "say you,ve been there, done that" experience. Sit in the very front for a better experience.

We found the monorail a great way to get from the space needle to down town without having to worry about parking and traffic. The price is very reasonable and the constant commentary is interesting.

There isn't really anything wrong with the monorail but it's only worth riding once and that's only if you are interested in monorails. The ride is a few blocks long and runs from the Seattle Center (Space Needle area) to the not-so-impressive sky scraper area. Meh, why did I pay for that?

It is a convenient way to travel the short distance between downtown and the Space Needle. Don't worry about stops, there are only 2 (beginning and end). Need CASH to travel on it though. There is no advantage to buying a roundtrip ticket except convenience. Go! Have fun!
