The views atop the tower...

Mike_N, Sep 2026
The views atop the tower are great. You can dine at the restaurant, shops at the gift shop, or play games in the arcade.

Worth a visit

Melanie_N, Aug 2026
Your ticket is valid for 6 months if you buy from here, a year if you buy at the desk. This was great as the day we booked for was overcast so we were able to use it a day later. We went up in the evening so we could see the fireworks from up there and the illuminated falls.

Amazing tour!

The panoramic view of the falls and surrounding scenery were spectacular from the top of the tower…I’m glad we did it!!

Rude Elevator Man

Maria_H, Aug 2026
It was so much fun going to the top and getting breath taking views, but the elevator man was extremely rude to my party.

The views are amazing

Hatim_H, Aug 2026
Elevator is quick. Views are stunning. Merchandise & photos are way overpriced. The viewing area could use some cleaning though, it's a shame that some customers chose to throw trash in the viewing area.

Nice view

Helen_M, Aug 2026
Nice view. The ride to top is quick so don’t be worried if you are afraid of heights(52 seconds to get you to the top).

Wonderful fun

Laurie_M, Aug 2026
This was a great experience. Second time we did went up 20 years. Food was a little expensive but not doing it all the time.

They need to use more elevators

tiffany_b, Aug 2026
The elevator was to crowed . It was a good view of the falls but the fencing didn’t allow for good pictures.

Nice Venue Challenging Entry

William_M, Aug 2026
Going up in the Tower itself was great. We had great conditions for viewing. The process for getting into the Tower was not great. While I was able to download the ticket directly to my IPhone wallet, the entrance folks could not scan the tickets. I had to go back and find the original email and then it took a while to extract what was needed. This process needs work to make smoother.

Great for sight seeing...

Sarah_B, Jul 2026
Great for sight seeing sometime was hard to understand tour guide. The lunch was ok and we could have done our own. Overall it was a good experience.

Falls

Great trip. I had a great view of the Niagara Falls from the top of the Skylon. Recommend this experience to everyone.

Great views

Robin_B, Jul 2026
Gives a great 360⁰ view of the falls and surrounding area. Going up the outside elevator was a good experience as well.

Scary spiders

Carol_T, Jul 2026
Spiders were everywhere. I could barely enjoy the experience because I was too distracted by the spiders.

Spectacular views, great service and good food!

Mary_S, Jul 2026
We had a FABULOUS experience at the Skylon Tower Observation Deck! Going up in the evening was absolutely the perfect choice. The breathtaking views of Niagara Falls were incredible, and watching the falls illuminated with the colorful evening light show was simply spectacular. The fireworks at the end were truly the icing on the cake and made the entire experience even more magical. Our whole family loved every minute of it, and we highly recommend adding the Skylon Tower to your Niagara Falls itinerary. It is absolutely worth it and is an experience we will never forget!

Beautiful view

Higher than the Clouds

Arronda_D, Jun 2026
This is a must! We went at night and were able the watch the fireworks and Falls night show, which were both spectacular! The ride down takes some time bd star most of the people left immediately after the fireworks show. Patience is a virtue here so be prepared. There’s an arcade at the bottom which can be fun for kids.

Our trip was memorable...

Syed_W, Jun 2026
Our trip was memorable and guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Niagara Fall. Kids enjoyed the trip very much.

Tower Experience

Erika_M, Jun 2026
It was easy to get to. Parking was an extra $10.00. It was very nice. Glad we did that. It was an awesome view. My sister came here from Germany to see it.

Bucks for Falls

Deborah_V, Jun 2026

Lauris_T, Jun 2026
Good services and on time , the travel agent has informed us all the information that we need to know our trip before hand.

Beautiful views all around

Brandon_A, Jun 2026
I enjoyed the tower very much! My wife and I spent our anniversary in Niagara Falls and the Skylon Tower was a perfect addition to our trip.

The best views on Niagara Falls

Susan_R, Jun 2026
It was great, with great views and the service was so friendly! Maybe a little ventilation on the elevator would have been nice!
