We enjoyed going to the top of the Space Needle. The views from the top are incredible and well worth the trip to the top. We went on a Saturday morning, not a lot of crowds. Full review by SiriusOrdo

Q:
I see that the closing time is 11 PM, but I read from some reviews that closing time may be earlier? Also, I did purchase a CityPass, but the latest reservation I can make online is 8 PM. Ideally, I would like to go later around 9-10 PM (after dinner) - is this possible without a reservation? i.e. don't want to get there at 10 PM and there is a long wait so don't have any time at the top Thanks in advance

According to their web page they close at 11 p.m. for at least the next week. They were checking the tickets to make sure those whose times were to enter could, so don't try to enter at a later time then what is on your ticket. Now it did take nearly an hour before we actually were on the elevators to the top, but that was early afternoon and the lines seemed longer when we came down. My only other suggestion is to see if you can change your ticket time when you get there, but not sure if you can do that.
