Seattle Space Needle and Chihuly Garden and Glass Combo Ticket

This Seattle combo ticket brings together two of the city’s most recognisable attractions in one booking: the Space Needle and Chihuly Garden and Glass. Both are located at Seattle Center, making it practical to experience them on the same day without travelling across the city between attractions.

At the Space Needle, visitors rise about 520 feet above Seattle for 360-degree views encompassing the city skyline, Puget Sound, Mount Rainier and the Olympic and Cascade mountain ranges when visibility allows. At Chihuly Garden and Glass, the focus shifts to Dale Chihuly’s colourful glass installations, galleries, the Glasshouse and landscaped garden.

Quick facts

Space Needle experience

The Space Needle is Seattle’s best-known observation landmark. The combo ticket includes admission to the tower, where visitors can look across the Seattle skyline from roughly 520 feet above the city.

On a clear day, the advertised panorama includes Mount Rainier, Puget Sound, the Olympic Mountains, the Cascade Range and the broader Seattle metropolitan area. Because visibility is weather-dependent, distant mountain views cannot be guaranteed.

The rotating glass floor

One of the distinctive features of the Space Needle is its rotating glass floor. Visitors can step onto the transparent surface and look down while the floor slowly rotates, adding a different perspective to the traditional observation-deck experience.

Skyrisers and interactive features

Musement also highlights the Space Needle’s Skyrisers, glass benches that angle outward toward the view, along with interactive kiosks and a telescope.

Chihuly Garden and Glass

Chihuly Garden and Glass showcases the work and creative influences of American glass artist Dale Chihuly. The attraction combines indoor galleries with the large Glasshouse and an outdoor garden where glass sculptures are integrated with plants and landscaping.

The contrast between the art, natural light and garden setting makes this attraction very different from the Space Needle even though the two venues sit next to one another.

Gallery talks and garden tours

Complimentary access to hourly gallery talks and garden tours is included according to the daily schedule. Check the programme on arrival because individual talk times can vary.

Live glassblowing demonstrations

Musement states that live glassblowing demonstrations are included seasonally from November through May.
