The glass garden was good, but the space needle was amazing! It was an amazing view of Seattle and the edges of the top were glass, so it felt like there was no railing. It was incredible, even for someone afraid of heights, like me!

“Since the weather was wonderfully clear, the view from the Space Needle was really nice. An absolute must for any visitor is the Chihuly Garden and Glass Museum. I’ve never been in a museum that made me so happy and feel in awe of a human craft. The glass sculpture, esp. on the inside part of the museum, are one of a kind.” (Source: GetYourGuide) 5* November 26, 2023 – Julia – Germany

I chose Space Needle, Chihuly Garden & Glass, MOPOP and Argosy Cruise and I have to say that it is absolutely worth it, despite the cost. All high level services, I would say unmissable attractions, even the cruise proved to be above expectations. At the Space Needle be prepared to wait half an hour in line if you go during the day, in the evening you can enter without queuing. The other attractions do not require waiting.

We stayed 2 days in Seattle and took full advantage of the Pass. The Space Needle, MoPOP and Chihuli garden are located in the same place so it is easy to do on the same day. We took advantage of the cruise which allows us to see Seattle from the bay. The aquarium is not worth the detour, if I had to do it again, I would change the chihuli garden by visiting the zoo which seems well rated. (Source: GetYourGuide) 4* June 12, 2023 – Jeny – France
