Itinerary

  • Sky View Observatory

    Sky View Observatory is the tallest public observatory in the Pacific Northwest and the perfect place to begin any Seattle experience. Guests ascend 73 floors in 70 seconds in an immersive elevator ride that whisks them to the Observatory, where stunning 360-degree views await. From Mt. Rainier to Mt. Baker, the San Juans to the Olympics, all of the Northwest’s magnificent scenery is on display. Whether planning an excursion to the rainforest or a journey through Seattle’s thriving cultural scene, Sky View is the essential first stop. Visitors can plan their visit with the city and the wild at their feet. Sky View’s Plan Your Own Tour digital experience lets you explore the possibilities from 902 feet and save your favorite discoveries to a personal tour guide you create. Wall murals and infographics enhance your understanding of the views.

what a view

Published on Jan, 2025

Very tall building and an amazing view from the top deck. i love the Bay View and look down to watch the traffic on the waterfront and the harbor. The city looks totally different from here. no crowd and easy access up and down. My friend and I enjoyed a pizza and spend some time up there. absolutely no rush

Excellent observation tower!

Published on Jan, 2025

Excellent observation tower. Think I preferred this one to the space needle Lovely friendly staff made it more enjoyable

Excellent staff

Published on Dec, 2024

Our tour guide was engaging, and the city's history is fascinating! Very well done. Lots of fun. She took us beneath and above the streets.

Better than space needle

Published on Oct, 2024

The best tour ever so much better than the space needed and hardly any people the tour guide Darren is the best A must do if your in Seattle

Great experience

Published on Oct, 2024

Viator misled us. We were looking for Space Needle tickets and this tower was listed as the Space Needle. We make the most of a bad situation and did this experience, since we had paid for it. It was much better and the Space Needle overall. Higher, No wait. parking proximity. Highly recommend this. But watch out for misleading Viator listings.
