We didn't actually ride the elevator up the Space Needle but visited the huge arcade. We spent at least an hour there. Lots of games and crane machines to choose from.

The view is fantastic but the rest of the place really needs some work. Very old, in the old heart of Gatlinburg.

We were very excited to go to the top of the Space Needle once we arrived in Gatlinburg, but I was surprised to find the entrance to it located in an arcade. The same guy who supplies kids with game tokens sent us up in the glass elevator, and that was the extent of employee interaction with the guests. I...

As everyone else has said, the views are really great day and night. But the view is what it is, just a view. The arcade is pretty good, and they have lazer tag that is fun for kids and adults as well.

Be sure and take ride to the top of the Space Needle. You will have a birdseye view of Gatlinburg and part of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. A real treat is during the fall leaf color season.....simply breathtaking!

Me and my wife went up last week. The kids wanted to enjoy the arcade, so it was good for all of us. The elevator ride wasn't bumpy or anything and it had glass doors, for cool views. It was kind of old looking , so we were just praying that we wouldn't get stuck in this thing. The views...

Excellent views of the Great Smokey Mountains. The value is great you can use your tickets twice. Gives you a great over view of the city. Fun place to people watch too.

An amazing show in the Iris Theater inside the Space Needle complex. The show is like nothing you have seen before. Very low key, very up close and very intriging. Bill Gladwell does a super job and his wife (his assistant) keeps him on track. Just pay attention while you're there because everything that happens happens for a reason. Reasonable...
