Not as famous as the space needle, but the views were on par. It is also possible to get views and take pictures of the needle from the observation deck. Plan for a clear day.Full review by April H

Do I need to purchase a ticket to go have a bite and a drink at Sky View Cafe & Bar? I did not see any info on website and Microsoft Edge said for Sky View Bar I do not need one but for the Colombia Tower Club and Charlotte Restaurant & Lounge I do.
Where can we park for our Skyview Observatory visit. I understand that our parking is validated......what does that mean? Discount? Free? Valet? Please advise.
A:
I would strongly suggest parking at the Target on 2nd Ave. Much cheaper and basically in the center of downtown. From there take Uber or transit.

Hi, I want to buy 2 tickets for my friends who have just been married and are moving to Portland, at one point they will visit Seattle, if I buy them tickets for a date, and they can’t make that date, can they change it to a date that will suit them?
A:
Yes you can, as long as the ticket prices remain the same. I believe they have fixed the price for the remainder of this year. So the tickets should be valid till then.
