About The Space Needle
The 605-foot tall Space Needle was built and completed in December, 1961 for the Seattle World's Fair. The Space Needle remains the #1 tourist attraction in the Northwest, hosting over one million visitors a year.

Through the years the Space Needle has continued to innovate: In 2000, a $20 million revitalization was completed. In 2007, five SkyQ kiosks were installed on the observation deck; this unique technology creates a set of engaging experiences for visitors looking for a hands-on and memorable way to make a direct connection with Seattle's people and places. As of May 2008, a new water filtration system has replaced bottled water in the SkyCity restaurant. Other "green" initiatives are focused around recycling and energy.
