Family Fun Seekers

The Space Needle is the ultimate launch pad for family adventure. Begin your journey with a thrilling 42-second elevator ride to the Upper Observation Deck, where the whole family can soak in sweeping views of Seattle and beyond. Kids will love pointing out ferries on the Sound, snow-capped Mount Rainier, or airplanes crisscrossing the sky. Don’t miss the spire-mounted camera for an out-of-this-world family photo — the perfect souvenir to remember your day.

When it’s time for a snack, head to Tip Top Café, where our intergalactically famous pies are baked fresh daily. Sweet or savory, they pair perfectly with coffee, local pints, or a swirl of soft-serve ice cream — guaranteed to keep energy levels high for the next round of exploring.

Continue your visit by making your way down to the Loupe Level, the world’s first and only rotating glass floor. As the floor slowly moves beneath your feet, encourage the kids to play “I spy” — spotting painted spiders on nearby rooftops, the colorful Artists at Play playground, or the soaring architecture of the Museum of Pop Culture.

Back on the ground, your adventure doesn’t stop. Just steps away lies Chihuly Garden and Glass, where children and adults alike can marvel at glowing, larger-than-life glass sculptures. Interactive stations and live demonstrations bring glass art to life, making it the perfect complement to your Space Needle visit. Bundle both attractions to save 20% and double the fun in one unforgettable family day.
