Despite the rainy afternoon, the Chiluy museum brightened my day. The glass artwork is stunning. The space needle is a fun experience and hosts a beautiful view even on a rainy day.

Great times!!
Great experience all around. Double check closing times. We arrived at 2pm. Luckily we overheard someone saying parts of Chihuly Gardens closed at 3. We had planned to go to the Space Needle first but switched it around so as not to miss anything.

Space Needle & Glass - Fantastic!
Space Needle is amazing and a great hangout for a quick bite and/or coffee. The Chihuly Glass Garden is fantastic!! I had no idea what to expect, it’s just gorgeous.

Go!
The Space Needle was actually a really neat place to visit. The fact
you can walk on glass and see the building below was really amazing! Later in our trip we visited the Skylon Tower at Niagara Falls and the Space Needle is much more amazing. A true "don't miss" while in Seattle!

Space Needle
Going up in the space needle was the most amazing experience. Reaching the top and stepping out and seeing the city is awesome. It is something everything needs to do when they are in Seattle. Just seeing up there and taking in all the views is simply breathtaking taking.

Combo ticket. space needle and Chihuly
Space Needle was disappointing although well organized. We had hoped to the restaurant but didn’t seem to be open. Less than stellar but not due to staff. Chihuly Gardens were wonderful and totally worth the ticket price. Also liked the restaurant The Bar. Great food and fun experience!

Beautiful Seattle
The views from the Space Needle were absolutely stunning. You can see the city, the sound and two mountain ranges, beautiful from every side.

Seeing the Sights in Seattle
In Seattle for a cruise and decided to stay a couple of days and see some of the city. Always wanted to see the Space Needle after watching the show “Frasier.” The museum of glass was a bonus.

Great way to spend a couple of hours.
Very fun and worth the price. Great views from the Space Needle. It was fun to see the city from above. The Chihuly Glass Museum was amazing!!! Beautiful artwork and we loved it. We were amazed turning every corner as we discovered a new piece that was so stunning. The restaurant there was excellent as well. We had lunch there and thoroughly enjoyed it.
