360° Views + Sunset Magic: Visit the Iconic Space Needle

Few date ideas capture the spirit of Seattle like a trip to the top of the Space Needle. This iconic landmark offers panoramic views of the city skyline, Puget Sound, and Mount Rainier from its 520-foot-high observation deck. The recent renovation includes floor-to-ceiling glass walls and a rotating glass floor that adds a little extra thrill to the experience. Time your visit around sunset for a golden-hour glow, or enjoy a drink with a view at The Loupe Lounge. Whether you’re playing tourist or rediscovering the city together, the Space Needle delivers a breathtaking and memorable backdrop for any romantic outing. For nearby dining, enjoy a cozy European-style meal at Tilikum Place Café, share oysters and cocktails at Taylor Shellfish Oyster Bar, or head to Toulouse Petit for bold New Orleans–inspired dishes in a lively, stylish space.
