$4 entry per person. They have a little tower you can go up too. It's a greenhouse, so a good place to go if it's rainy.

Thinking about going on the Space Needle? Skip it! Columbia tower is down the street and is a lot cheaper and has a better view than the Space Needle. I haven't been to the Space Needle since I was a kid, but I highly recommend as an alternative if you're unsure about spending a lot on those tickets.

If you want Dim Sum, I recommend here! Jade Garden and Harbor City are the popular dim sum places, but I was actually surprised to find Hong Kong Bistro had great Dim Sum! I don't recommend their normal dishes though.

Another popular rooftop bar (I personally prefer this one to the others). It can be part indoor/part outdoor. They have blankets for you if you choose to sit outside and it's not that hot. There can be a wait if it's a nice day, so try to arrive when it opens. Pricier food (do not recommend), but a great place to buy a bottle of Rose or get some cocktails. Get a view of South Lake Union and the Amazon campus.

This is probably my least favorite rooftop in Seattle, but it's a good place for out of towners to start the night. It's a great place if you're downtown and don't want to wait (at the other rooftop bars). It's definitely cute (especially at night)! It's on the 5th floor of the Motif Hotel (just walk in and hit the 5th floor, open to the public).
