We have been to Seattle a number of times as it is our favorite big city! We always find something new and fascinating about the city and the sky view observatory was our new adventure on this trip. I'm not sure how much of a convenience it was to be able to "skip the line" since there were actually very few people who were there to experience the Skyview observatory, however it was handy having the tickets already paid for and the event scheduled on our calendars.

This is an excellent way to view Seattle. I read about the Observatory here and decided to go. We were fortunate to have beautiful weather. The views are really, really good, and the history and educational displays were very interesting and informative.
An all around win for all ages.

It was nice not to have to wait in long lines and be able to go up to what seems to be the top of the world in this observatory. The views were spectacular and the sun was just beginning to set so it was the perfect time of day. Mt. Rainer was barely visible due to low clouds but we were able to see it and get some nice pictures.

The city views from the 73rd floor were beyond any expectation I thought to have. Amazing doesn’t adequately describe it. The bar staff were fast, friendly and professional. The only hiccup is that we were told that we would have access to floor 76, but could not as this required membership.

The clear view of the landmarks and the helpful hints to locate them, and definitely the bird’s eye view was fascinating.

As I researched must-do things in Seattle, the Space Needle, of course, is mentioned. I read a couple of posts, though, that said that this observatory offered better views. I agree! We looked down on the Space Needle from the enclosed observatory. The views were amazing and kept us up there for over an hour. You could see every part of Seattle. The maps and informational graphics that were posted were excellent resources to help us identify all of the great views.

This was by far one of my families favorite things! The views are incredible! We did the Space needle in the morning and the Skydeck at 8:45 pm. Highly recommend the later time. The sunset and lighting was spectacular! We saw Mt. Rainer, the mariners game, helicopters coming and going from the hospital, planes landing and taking off, the ships! All of it in 1 place!! Highly highly recommend!! Our kids are 17,15, and 9 and we took parents also and we all enjoyed it!

I highly recommend this observatory. It’s a totally different vantage point from the Space Needle, in that you get a south view and also a view of Lake Washington. It’s well laid out and the staff are very friendly. When we were there it wasn’t crowded and we had a great time.
