The Space Needle is something everyone should experience at least once!
Built for the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair, this iconic landmark boasts stunning 360° views of Puget Sound, the downtown skyline and the surrounding mountains, SkyCity, the world-famous rotating restaurant, an abundance of informational displays and telescopes, and exciting 10 mph elevator rides to the observation deck at the top.
Last week, my family and I met in Seattle for three fun-filled days. We all agreed that the highlight was experiencing the breathtaking panoramic views 520 feet high above the Emerald City…
…and what a view it was!
For around $20.00 per person, you too can take in the splendor of this wonderful city!
Filling my passport with family, travel and bliss 
Oooo… in that last photo it looks like the cruise ship that deposited us there – nice – we LOVE Seattle and also swapped long queues and money for the opportunity to ride to the top! 🙂
Awesome! It was SO worth the long queues and the money 🙂 Did you go on an Alaskan cruise?
We certainly did and LOVED it – and hope to do it again one day – have you been?
We’ve never been, but it’s definitely on our bucket list! 🙂
Hope you get there sooner rather than later! 🙂
I really regret not going up into the Space Needle when Marty and I were in Seattle. We both plan on visiting again one day so I hope we are able to get up there next time! 🙂
You’ll love it! I went to Seattle 10 years ago, but due to time restraints, I didn’t get to experience the Space Needle. So this time around, I made sure we carved out some time to check out the views! 😉
Seattle is one of the greatest cities in the United States! The pacific northwest is just stunningly beautiful.
I agree! Next time, I want to travel the coastline north of Seattle 🙂
I’ve traveled the Oregon Coast, it’s amazing! But I bet Seattle up to Vancouver would be incredible.
