spectacular bird's eye view of Niagara Falls, - At a height of more than 235 meters above the falls, the Skylon Tower offers a spectacular bird's eye view of Niagara Falls, the Niagara Escarpment, and the city. The most iconic landmark in Niagara Falls is Skylon Tower, overlooking both the American and Canadian falls, the panoramic view from the top of Skylon Tower is truly breathtaking. Yes, you will have many points in the city, offer a splendid view but what about view from an elevated position- you can't beat it. Skylon Tower turned out to be one of my favorite experiences in Niagara Falls. At the time of our trip, simply taking the elevator to the top was CAD 19 per person. We did not opt for dining experience. Elevator # 3 (often called ‘bug’) mounted outside, takes 52 seconds to get to the top. On a clear day, you can see the skylines of Buffalo and Toronto. The tower features an indoor/outdoor observation area and two restaurants. There are some food and shopping options on the first floor. Also, on the basement level, there are some video games and more snack options. Fact: Skylon Tower was designed by the Toronto architectural firm Bregman and Hamann, which was inspired by the Space Needle in Seattle that was constructed for the World’s Fair in 1962.

Night tour for us! - Nice night experience. See the light on the falls. Seeing the falls from above. And to see the attractions in the Clifton Hill section, there is plenty of light. We didn't come in the daylight. We enjoyed our overnight visit. And is also great on foot from Skylon Tower to Clifton Hill, with a pedestrian shortcut.

A must stop while at the Canadian Niagara Falls - This visit was worth the stop as it created a view un-matched in the area of not only the Niagra Falls but of the local area. Every view had a history breakdown of what was there and the impact on the community. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. Of course the restaurant was very good. Highly recommend to get a bite there but secure reservations as it is the easiest way to enjoy the food and have a view.

Very enjoyable and glad we experienced it. - A short ride up to the top. Fabulous view of the entire falls area and we could stroll inside or outside at our leisure. We did not go into the restaurant. Happy we set up, and paid for, the Photo Ticket. I feel it was well worth the cost. We both enjoyed it.

Spectacular views - It was so awesome but the downside of it was it was completely cold as ever . Other than that food was amazing the people I came across was nice and the activities such as the floral garden the skylon restaurant the public transportation everything was good. I think the best part about Niagara Falls was the falls itself . Gave me peace

Great view of Niagara Falls - Kind of expensive as I only stayed there for like 10 mins. They kinda crammed everyone into one elevator 😭 The view was amazing though.

The photo plus shop does not follow the rules they made, Greedy and Rude - 2024-12-26, Boxing day Our family of 8 people went to visit Skylon Tower. Since it was a big family gathering, we decided to take pictures with the beautiful falls. So with the help of the staff, we took few pics, and finally we picked 7 to print out ! Below is the price chart, I read few times before we started. I also asked questions “ 5 pictures for 50 dollars , right ? “ and got the answer “ Yes” However, when we checked out, the price was $135 with tax. The reason is : you have 4 packages instead of 1. I told the staff : it is a family, no separate bill ! Why we were being treated as 4 ! Answer is : policy of the company. Below is their calculation: After argument, the supervisor ( she claimed herself as supervisor ) decided to drop off to $ 90 dollars plus tax. She even said : if you can not afford it, pls do not take it. What an insult! I told her : 1) it is not a question of affordability . it is a question of Being affair. 2) I live in a multi-million house in Fohthill, how do you think ? Finally, the end story is : we paid for 2 packages, 35+25 ( with 10 $ discount) plus tax. What do I need ? an apology from the supervisor + plus the extra paid money back $16.95. Monica Yang
