The Skylon Tower is one of Niagara Falls' most recognizable landmarks, rising 236 meters above the Niagara Gorge. Visitors ascend via a yellow bug-shaped elevator to an indoor observation deck and an outdoor viewing terrace, both providing breathtaking vistas of the American and Horseshoe Falls, as well as the surrounding city and vineyards. The tower's highlight is its revolving dining room, which completes a full rotation every hour, allowing guests to enjoy a meal while taking in ever-changing views. On clear days, the panorama extends as far as Toronto and Buffalo.
Don't miss
- Ride the yellow 'bug' elevator to the observation deck for a 360-degree view of the falls and gorge.
- Dine at the revolving restaurant, which slowly turns to reveal all angles of the falls during your meal.
- Visit at sunset to see the falls illuminated and the sky painted in vibrant colors.
