Niagara Falls: Skylon Tower Observation Deck

There are tons of Niagara Falls attractions you can visit, but if you only visit one during your vacation, the Skylon Tower Observation Deck has to be it.

A trip to the top of this world-famous attraction combines an exhilarating 52-second ride with the awe of seeing Niagara from 775 feet above the mighty Falls. The moment you hop aboard one of the “Yellow Bug” glass-enclosed exterior elevators and glide smoothly to the top, you’ll agree the Skylon Tower is the highlight of your visit.

From the indoor and outdoor Observation Decks, you’ll marvel at once-in-a-lifetime views of the mighty Niagara Falls, the Great Gorge, the Niagara wine district, the dazzling cityscape below, and the skylines of Toronto and Buffalo.

From this highest vantage point in Niagara, you’ll see up to 80 miles (125 km) of Canada and the U.S. At night you will marvel at the illumination of the Falls, the city lights far below, and seasonal fireworks. The experience is rated as one of the top things to do in Niagara!
