Enjoyed our recent tour -- unfortunately the weather was a bit grey the day we went to the space needle so our views were limited. The combo ticket only allows for one entrance so choose your time wisely. Following our Space Needle time, we immediately went to the Chihuly exhibit. Loved the amazing work on display! We were able to spend as much time as we wanted with each installation before moving on to the next. Allow an hour MINIMUM here. He is an incredible talent. Not something small children would enjoy. There is a cafe on site -- even if you do not eat there, be sure to check out the ceiling and the displays inbedded in the tables.
This was a really good tour! Especially loved the Chihuly Glass and Gardens! I think if you purchase your tickets ahead of time you should be able to bypass the lines at the Space Needle. Other than that it was great!
Really enjoyed the professionalism of the staff that took our tickets at the Space Needle, super friendly and they made everything clear when you either entered the Space Needle from riding the elevator to taking your tour around the needle or the Chihuly Garden and Glass tour, scanning your tickets, to throughly explaining about the photography in the museum. Both places were spectacular and full of history. I highly recommend listening to the Chihuly tour link from your device, so dont forget your earphones! It was so informative and take advantage of the photographer wholl offer to take your photo for free at the Chihuly tour and then you can download it for free! Make sure you watch the film at the Chihuly gardens. Each segment is 4 min. And it explains how Dale came up with the ideas, all the people behind the scene and you fully appreciate it even more! Ask questions at both places- the staff is really knowledgeable! Enjoy!
