Skylon Tower, Niagara Falls

Another must to do when visiting Niagara Falls. Great views of the falls from above and of the surrounding area. Observation deck has plenty of room to view the falls from many angles. Great tip is to buy the day/night pass to visit the tower twice within 24 hours. The first time we went up was at sunset in late-July. They illuminate the falls every night at 8:30 or 9pm. LED light show on the falls at night is pretty to see. Fireworks show every night at 10pm on the Canadian side of the falls in front of the American Falls. We didn’t watch the fireworks from the tower, but you could as it’s open until midnight every night. Great views of the illuminated falls at night. We returned to the tower the next day with our pass and went up in the tower during the daytime. It’s nice to see the falls at both day and night. You can spend as much time as you want on the observation deck, but we stayed probably 45 minutes to a little over an hour each time we went up there. Highly recommend. Enjoy!

We ate at the revolving restaurant at the top of the tower. What a fun experience! You enter the tower and get in the same line if you had observation deck tickets. They take a few “touristy” photos and up the glass elevator you go. Have your camera ready in the elevator because you can take pics but the opportunity goes by quick. We made a reservation and we’re seated immediately upon arriving. Most of the tables are right by the window so we had a spectacular view that revolves. We got an early bird special )4:30 & 5:00 seating) for $49 and got a main dish, salad and dessert. The food was spectacular! The servers were very attentive the entire evening and the food arrived quickly. They like you to eat in 90 min to accommodate many patrons. We had the beef tips, salmon and prime rib, plus a scallop appetizer and 3 non-alcoholic daiquiri’s and our bill was $214 without tip. We were celebrating a birthday which I noted at the time of the reservation and they brought out a slice of cheesecake for the birthday girl. After you are done eating you get free access to the observation tower. Enjoy!
