No matter where you’re taking in the view of Seattle, your eyes always go directly to the Space Needle. You can’t help it — it’s like a magnet. Not only can you admire the icon from the ground, you can also take in the incredible view from the top of the Space Needle.

It even includes rides on a Washington State Ferry and the Seattle Monorail. It’s tough to beat that!
