Built as the centerpiece and inspiration for the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair, the Space Needle has become a part of the Seattle experience and the globally-recognized icon for the city.
The Space Needle’s Century Project renovation added more than 176 tons of glass to the structure, opening up the view and offering unparalleled views of Seattle and the greater Pacific Northwest. The $100 million investment also yielded The Loupe, the world’s first revolving glass floor. Open year-round, the Space Needle welcomes more than a million visitors per year to take in the scenic views from Observation Deck and The Loupe.
This kit is designed to provide you with the tools you’ll need to write an amazing Space Needle story. Looking for information not listed or on these pages? Reach out to our team through the contact page listed below.
