Take a trip up the Seattle Space Needle to get the best view of the Emerald City. After recently completing a comprehensive remodel, the iconic structure now features glass floors to give a new 360 degree look at our beautiful city below. The Seattle Space Needle was originally constructed as an attraction for the 1962 World’s Fair. Additionally, the Monorail, another iconic Seattle World’s Fair creation, stops just across the plaza from the base of the Space Needle.
