The views were great lots of photo ops go both day and night. Surrounding points of interest are identified around the interior circumference. The rotating restaurant is worth it. The meal was good service was great and its a worthwhile experience. There is also a really large arcade in the lower level. You should definitely visit this site if your in Niagara Falls.
A nice place to go to see a different view of the falls. The group pictures are cute and affordable. The gift shop is a little pricey but has some reasonable items. Can get a bit congested and hard to find a spot to see if youre close to 10pm.
My husnad and I have been to Niagara Falls several times. This however is our first time seeing the Falls from the Skylon Tower (birds eye view) for my husband and I was worth it. The panoramic view was amazing and just breathtaking. If this is your first Niagara Falls visit this might be the way you want see the Falls. P.S there's a restaurant I recommend you look that up if you want to have a special dinner for a memorable occasion that would be the spot. Enjoy!!
The views atop the tower are great. You can dine at the restaurant, shops at the gift shop, or play games in the arcade.
This is one of those places that's worth the price of admission. Honestly I've been here a dozen times in my life and it never gets old. It's really beautiful and getting that 360 view is well worth the price. But the other part that is really cool that nobody talks about is the awesome retro arcade in the basement! It's huge and stuck in like 1993!! This is one of the coolest gems I've EVER seen
I don't get to the area often so I wanted to engage in a low-key tourist event. It was a short walk from my hotel. We were able to get in and up to the observation deck in about 15 minutes. There were a wide array of views from the observation deck. Sights of the US and Canadian sides of the Niagara Falls. It was a very neat experience. Each significant point of view contained a short story what is nearby. I arrived in the late afternoon/early evening. The crowd size was relatively small (<100 folks)
Great dinner and views. Falls were magnificent from the restaurant and Observation Deck
Rozena was simply AMAZING! She was very knowledgeable, professional and provided us with fun facts about Niagara Falls. I recommend her, a true asset to your Team - we loved her!
Wow! This was so amazing! We had a great time taking tons of pictures of all the falls and Clifton Hill while the wind was blowing through the safety fence. It was exhilarating!
View was better than the food.
