So, who does not know the famous Seattle Space Needle? But did you know, that the iconic landmark was built in 1962 for the 1962 World’s Fair: the Century 21 Exposition themed "The Age of Space"? From the 605 feet tall tower you can see downtown Seattle, Mount Rainier, Puget Sound, and the Cascades and the mountains of the Olympic pensinsula.

In 2018, the Space Needle got the World's first and only rotating glass bottom platform. The tower is open for a visit year-round, but opening times may vary, especially on holidays. Prices for tickets have risen in the past years to 35 up to 37.50 Dollars.

Ticket costs from about $ 30 / person depending on the time of day (cheaper in the evening than during the day). These can also be bought online. But you have to queue for a long line anyway. But it's worth it. Since the beginning of August 2018, the first revolving level with glass floor has been reopened after renovation. (08.10.2018)
