The cost for the Chihuly Garden and Glass plus the Space Needle Observation Deck on this date was $30 for seniors 65+ and $34 ages 13-64. There were other bundle opportunities available. The two RV Gypsies felt it was definitely worth the money.

This premier attraction at Seattle Center spans 1.5 acres. The eight galleries, two drawing walls and the Exhibition Hall offer a comprehensive collection of Dale Chihuly's significant series of work. The two RV Gypsies found everything to be absolutely amazing.
