• Tips
  1) Space Needle
  a) Visit the Space Needle on a clear day to enjoy views of the Mt. Rainier and other   mountains surrounding the Seattle area.
  b) If there is a long wait for getting tickets to the Space Needle, use the kiosk located on the right side of the ticket booth for faster service.
  c) Don’t stand in a long line to view your free photo at the kiosks on the observation deck – kiosks are also located in the 1st floor gift shop (usually with nobody waiting to use them!).
  d) If you send yourself your photo to your email, you can even change the background and download your picture in all the different backgrounds (about 10) from the link when you get home.
  e) If you are interested in visiting the Chihuly Garden and Glass as well, buy the Package Admission ticket when getting tickets to the Space Needle – this will save you money for both places.
  2) The Seattle Center is a nice tourist spot where kids will enjoy playing at the Fountain Lawn and playground (Artists at Play). The grassy area connecting the Space Needle and the Pacific Science Center is also nice for the kids to enjoy a run.
  3) Park at the Seattle Center and take the monorail to Westlake Center to enjoy shopping and food before coming back.
  4) When buying tickets for the Ride the Ducks tour, spend the extra $2.50 for a Wacky Quacker for the kids to make the experience even more fun.
