The Space Needle is just one of the many attractions at the site of the 1962 World's Fair. There is the amusment park on the grounds to the north of the space needle as well as the national flags and the huge fountain that is lit-up at night. You can go up to the observation deck in the space needle but going all the way to the top and sitting and having a meal in the spinning restaurant is a real hoot! Just don't leave anything on the ledge unless you aren't planning on seeing it for an hour as the restaurant turns in a 360 degree circle to allow the best views of the city on a summer day. There is the Science Museum and Children's Museum that should not be missed. You can watch a show at the Omni-dome or peruse the shops in the center of the Seattle Center grounds.

On the southernmost part of the grounds you can also visit the The Experience Music Project and Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame.
