I’m purchasing the Space Needle + Chihuly Garden and Glass combination ticket. Do I have to visit both on the same day?
Yes. With the combination ticket please select your date of visit for both the Space Needle, and Chihuly Garden and Glass. Both locations must be visited on the same date. You will be asked to select a 15-minute arrival window for each location. To improve guest flow and experience, Space Needle & Chihuly Garden and Glass 15-minute arrival intervals will now contain 5-minute timeslots within them. This is only the arrival window for entry, once inside you can stay until closing. Combination tickets are for a one-time entry at each location.

Does the Space Needle offer proposal packages?
We currently do not offer proposal packages, but don't let that stop you from popping the question at the Space Needle. Book a special night at The Loupe Lounge or purchase tickets to the top and finish with a glass of champagne at the walk up bar or a meal at The Bar next door at Chihuly Garden and Glass to make your proposal a memorable one. If you do propose at the Space Needle, please be aware that regular rules apply (no tripods or flowers that may affect the experience of other guests).
Where can I find my free digital photo from my Space Needle visit?
