Guests will be able to get to it by walking down a new giant spiral staircase, known as the Oculus Stairs, from the observation deck level.

The public will have access to the floor beginning at 8 a.m. on Friday.
The Space Needle’s renovation project is nearing completion. The temporary wrap that surrounded the top of the tower was removed in May. The improved observation deck opened the same month.
