Built as the centerpiece and inspiration for the 1962 World's Fair, the Space Needle has become a part of the Seattle experience and the globally-recognized icon for the city. The Space Needle's recent $100 million renovation added more than 176 tons of glass to the structure offering unparalleled views of Seattle, and houses The Loupe--the world's first and only revolving glass floor. Open year round, the Space Needle hosts more than a million visitors per year. For more information, visit: spaceneedle.com.
