Having experienced other towers this one was very under whelming not worth the bother. Interior needs refurbishment. Staff need to engage as show no interest in visitors.
Nice experience but it was less exiting & advanced when compared to the “”Space Needle tower in Seattle” even though the fees were cheaper.

The views were spectacular. You're able to get a full 360 look at all of Vancouver. The free audio guide was informative as you move around the tower. The glass elevator ride up and down was an additional experience as well.
Arrive early! we arrived at 6:40p and they were closed. Didn't get to go. Never saw the view had to leave the next day
Good way to start our visit to Vancouver. The free audio guide was very interesting. Great view of the city, and cool ride up on the elevator on the paused of the building.

Hi Seth!
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us a review.
We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the audio tour and the views!
Take you time to read descriptions and find the places. It is not expensive and worth it why do I have to enter more
The Vancouver Lookout was a fantastic experience and definitely worth visiting! The views from the top are incredible, offering a beautiful panoramic perspective of Vancouver, the mountains, waterfront, and surrounding areas.
The admission process was easy and the experience was well organized. It was a great way to see the city from a completely different perspective, and I especially enjoyed taking my time to look around and enjoy the scenery.
I highly recommend the Vancouver Lookout to anyone visiting Vancouver. It is a great attraction, especially for first-time visitors.

Well, I expected more but it was beautiful seeing Vancouver from up top. It was a good experience. I would recommend but don’t go up there with a lot to expectation
Booked this the night before we went using my Viator cash (nice bonus) and really enjoyed the 360 views. It wasn’t too busy at 11:00 (no lines) and we were able to walk around twice to see our favorite spots. We went to the restaurant after for lunch and cocktails.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thanks for the awesome feedback! We are so glad you had a good time. Thank you for visiting us!
It was a nice view, but it doesn’t worth it by the price. I can get prettier view from the mountains.
Excellent views, went on a clear day. The glass elevator was cool, the staff was friendly and helpful.
Would recommend!

Taking the elevator to the viewing area. We were greeted by a staff member who said we could download an audio guide but there is no wifi ???
Apart from this the vista is great with small plaques giving some information on each area.

Hi Terry,
Thank you for writing us a review! We appreciate your feedback.
Spend money on something else. It was easy to find. Windows appeared dirty. Admission cost should be half of what was charged to get even a slight recommendation. Have been in other lookout towers in big cities with view more interesting. Can see the beauty of Vancouver on bridges and beachfront.

Hi Lynne,
Thank you for your kind review!
Enjoy the rest of your stay in Vancouver.
The view from the top was pretty good. Some sides were limited due to taller more recent buildings.
Directions to location were close but not entirely accurate. Eventually got there soon after.
Information upstairs was good and helpful. Didn't want to play on phone as there were already others doing it and made it hard for them.
Could suggest that people bring headphones or Bluetooth pods.
Staff communication was only as little as possible.
No warning about glass backing to lift as could be daunting to some people. I mentioned this to the staff downstairs when leaving and didn't seem to understand or care.
Could recommend using space upstairs with a cafe or other sponsor information booth.
