Re: Seattle - Travel Diary
The unmagnificent Space Needle & Seattle Center
The space needle though is prominent in every picture and postcard from Seattle, it is not that great.
Especially those who have been to the one in Toronto will find it not worth the $14 it takes to go up. The height of the needle is about 600 feet, compared to the 1800+ feet for the CN tower. It’s not even the tallest among its neighboring buildings and the hotel I was staying in was pretty much as high as the needle.
There are a lot of cool things to do around the Space Needle. Like the Pacific Science Museum that has the IMAX theatre and these distinctive arches.
The Science Fiction Museum & Hall of Fame (pictured below) is also a good place to visit, along with the Aquarium.
