5.00Well run, waiting times for the elevator were not too long at all. I appreciated it being less crowded than some of the other high rise viewing areas I’ve visited. Views were beautiful. Went at sunset and also saw the fireworks. No regrets and would completely recommend to other people.

5.00This 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.

Movie and Trip to the Top

5.00We purchased the Ultimate Combo for the 3D movie and two trips to the top. We were able to take the first trip that afternoon and went back the next evening to take our second trip to the top. The movie was cute- 15 minutes long.The fireworks go off at 10:00 PM and they are spectacular. There is a small gift shop on the top level as well. All staff is friendly and accommodating.

Early Dinner and Skylon Tower Admission is the best deal

4.00For travelers not staying at any of the fallsview resorts, this is a good way to get a 360° view of the US and Canadian Niagara Falls, Clifton Hill, and the opposite side of the city. If you’re already staying at a fallsview resort, going to the Skylon Tower gives you a much higher Birds Eye view in every direction. I recommend reserving an early dinner (5:00 pm) in the revolving dining room which covers admission to the Skylon Tower and a less expensive meal than later dinner hours. You can also consider reserving the buffet, which is less than the dining room and it also includes Skylon tower admission. A third option is to go to dinner late, (9:00 pm) and enjoy dinner, Skylon Tower admission, the illuminated Niagara Falls, and beautiful fireworks at 10 PM!
