Scenic Seattle Night Tour W/ Space Needle & Skywheel

See Seattle in city lights after sunset with this Scenic Night Tour of Seattle. It’s a 3.5-hour journey through the city's most iconic sights and an ideal way to enjoy the Emerald City. The tour starts from your downtown Seattle hotel's lobby from where your guide will pick you up.

The first stop will be at the Seattle Great Wheel. It’s a 53-meter tall Ferris wheel; the tallest observation wheel on the West Coast. It offers sweeping views over Elliott Bay and the downtown skyline. The wheel has climate-controlled cabins that slowly ascend to heights from where you can enjoy the beautiful view of the city and its reflection in the waters below giving your evening a mesmerizing start.

Following the waterfront, the tour continues to Kerry Park. It’s a small viewpoint nestled on Queen Anne Hill. From here you will enjoy the most recognized panoramic view of Seattle, with the Space Needle against the backdrop of towering skyscrapers and snow-capped peak of Mount Rainier in the distance. At night, you might not be able to see Mount Rainier but the shimmering Elliott Bay and the view of the city will make it worth your while.

Next, the tour takes you to the Space Needle. It was built for the 1962 World’s Fair to symbolize humanity’s Space Age aspirations. You will ascend 520 feet to the saucer-shaped observation deck from where you will enjoy a full 360-degree view of Seattle; streetlights tracing the city’s outline, the ferries shimmering across Elliott Bay, and the surrounding mountains framing the scene with a quiet majesty. The view from the Needle offers an appreciation of the vibrant life within it.

Throughout the evening, you will journey through downtown streets, passing the historic Smith Tower, the Seattle Art Museum, and the Pike Place Market. Although glimpsed briefly, these landmarks add depth and color to the tour.

With complimentary hotel pick-up and drop-off, a small group setting, and well-planned stops, the Scenic Seattle Night Tour W/ Space Needle & Skywheel is a perfect way to experience the city's beauty after sunset.
