Party of 152... your banquet is ready.

A company event? Wedding Party? Holiday get-together? Whatever you're celebrating, we'll go above and beyond with fine food, superior service and only-at-the-Space Needle views!

The Space Needle's 100' SkyLine Level has two elegant private rooms that make for a truly unique banquet space. Ninety seconds by Monorail from the downtown business district, it’s the consummate location for corporate events. At the same time, this versatile facility is ideal for weddings and receptions, rehearsal dinners, anniversary parties, holiday parties and reunions. And the Skyline is handicap-accessible and smoke free.

SkyLine guests also receive complimentary access to the Space Needle's Observation Deck during their event.

Eight Northwest meeting rooms, separate from the Space Needle, on the grounds of the Seattle Center, are also available. They are located a short walk away, directly north of Key Arena.

What's Distinctive?

10 seconds: see the sparkling waters of Puget Sound. 20 seconds: Mt. Rainier becomes a huge snow cone. 30 seconds: skyscrapers appear like giant Legos. 41 seconds: you're up saying "Ohhhhhhhh" on the O Deck.

The anticipation begins on the ground, the moment your eyes and your imagination take in the magnificence of the iconic structure you’ve seen only in pictures.

The adventure continues as the elevators propel you to the Observation Deck, 520 feet above our metropolis. 

Get your pointing finger ready! Every degree of the O Deck’s 360º view commands your attention. The lofty panorama of Seattle’s natural wonders. Snow-capped Mt. Rainier to the south and the Cascade Mountains to the east. The majestic Olympics to the west. Float planes gently alight on sparkling Lake Union. Ferries, cruise lines and cargo ships cross Elliott Bay. One of America’s great cities invites you to share in its treasures.

Forgot your binoculars? No problem. The magnification power of our complimentary Swarovski Telescopes magically empowers you to spot a friend in the stands a couple of miles away at Safeco Field, home of the Seattle Mariners baseball team.

You don’t have to guess what you’re looking at. We’ve got all the answers. Colorful, imaginative environmental graphics around the outer edge of the level, and the information displays along the interior core are filled with descriptive data and delightful trivia. And of course there’ll be a surprise or two. Sorry, can’t tell you. Then it wouldn’t be a surprise.
