THE FUTURE. OPEN NOW.
This is it. You’re about to walk into a memory. Soaring 520 feet skyward. The city actually, really, truly at your feet. Step up. Step out. Step beyond your comfort zone. And experience wonder on a higher level.
Seattle’s “must see” is now a “must do” following the Space Needle’s multi-million dollar renovation. Glide onto The Loupe, the world’s first and only rotating glass floor, for never-before-seen views of the structure and the city. Lean into our Skyrisers, the tilting glass walls on the open-air deck, and float over Seattle on one of the 24 angled vantage points. Sip and sample the Pacific Northwest’s best while savoring the thrilling views.
