Space Needle & The Seattle Eye, the city from above

Seattle has a skyline that comes alive from above, and there is no better way to see it than from the Space Needle. This 1962 icon gives you sweeping views of Puget Sound, Mount Rainier (on a clear day), and the downtown towers below. The glass floor and open-air observation deck offer a dizzying but thrilling perspective of the city. Nearby, the Seattle Great Wheel on the waterfront lets you experience a calmer, slow-spinning view. As you ride over Elliott Bay, the ferries cross below, and the Olympic Mountains seem to rise from the water. Both landmarks offer something different, one futuristic and legendary, the other more serene and romantic. Together, they frame Seattle as a place where urban life meets nature at every turn. Tips: • Go early or just before sunset for fewer crowds at the Space Needle • Bundle your ticket with Chihuly Garden and Glass next door • The Seattle Great Wheel lights up at night, great for evening photos • Book online to skip lines at both attractions #seattle #spaceneedle
