Space Needle Observatory: 360° Views & Sunset Experience

Few date ideas feel more quintessentially Seattle than heading to the top of the Space Needle. Soaring 520 feet above the city, the observation deck offers panoramic views of the skyline, Puget Sound, and Mount Rainier. Recent upgrades include floor-to-ceiling glass walls and a rotating glass floor that adds a little thrill to the experience. Time your visit for sunset and enjoy a drink at The Loupe Lounge while the city glows below you. Whether you're playing tourist or rediscovering the view together, this is a breathtaking and unforgettable backdrop for any romantic outing. For food nearby, enjoy a cozy European-style meal at Tilikum Place Café, share oysters and cocktails at Taylor Shellfish Oyster Bar, or dive into bold New Orleans flavors at Toulouse Petit.
