About the operator
- carolbealor00Birds eye view of the FallsThe view is phenomenal and allows you to really see the majesty of the falls. It was very windy so dress appropriately. We got some awesome photos!
- 750dimitrisl00Skylon TowerWe visited this place but did not end up going to the top. An awesome sight, as the views can be spectacular on a clear day.
- TAMAN195100Great vistasEasy access as super views. Quick elevator ride up gives you access to open air circular viewing of the complete Niagara Falls area. Well worth a visit.
- Felicity M00Visit Skylon Tower if you can!Amazing dinner and views from Skylon Tower today. We ate at the buffet restaurant, delicious selection of foods with starter, mains, desserts, cheese & coffee/tea for $50 per head (£37) Staff were lovely and couldn't have been more helpful. Parking is so easy in the town, even for the motorhome with multiple parking lots offering all day parking for $5-10
- blondie1600Great views of the Falls!!Can't beat the views from the top. We went for the buffet restaurant. Many choices. If you go for 5PM you can be pretty sure of a table near the window.
- paula65649900Beautiful Views and a delicious mealWe had a delicious early dinner that included admission to the observation level. Service was wonderful! The views of the various falls and the river were breathtaking during our meal and afterward from observation area. Restaurant rotates so you have the opportunity to see everything for miles in every direction.
- Tracy L00Fantastic! Highly recommendedWe ate at the Skylon Tower, choosing the buffet restaurant at $50. As it costs $20 just to go up to the observatory, we thought the price was okay. The food was really good, and as it is an all you can eat buffet, there's plenty of choice and the food is good quality (except the 'chicken fingers' were awful - tasted old as well as being cold!). Our table was booked for 5pm and we arrived to check in at 4.45pm, securing a window seat. The views are truly amazing. Highly recommended.
- mrsronnydavis00Most beautiful view ever while eating!Had a great dinner at the buffet with a Perfect view of niagara falls while we ate. The buffet was wonderful (a little pricy for a buffet dinner) But the view while eating was worth it. The meal also came with a free ticket to the observation deck, and what a view. Tip: for the best view reserve dinner early in the evening .
- GHalewood00Amazing views,and a good Buffet.My wife booked the Skylon tower buffet before we arrived in Niagra, and to be fair we really enjoyed it.like other reviewers have stated the tower is looking its age but the reception area and lifts up and down are well organised ,so no long wait. We were seated at a table for two next to the windows and wow !!! the views are fantastic.but to honest regardless were your sitting the views are stunning. The buffet isn’t the biggest ,so don’t expect a Vegas casino sized one ,but the selection was good and we enjoyed are food. After our meal your ticket includes a trip to the viewing platform, and again great views. A really good experience we both enjoyed and if I’m being honest probably the best meal we had during are stay in Niagra falls.
- BaldnRed00Dinner with a view.We ate at the buffet here one night. Selection was impressive and the food was very good, especially considering that it is a buffet. The grandkids loved it and kept their faces plastered to the windows.
- pattis86800Wonderful Experience - OK FoodI would go again for the atmosphere and delightful views. The food is not memorable and there is a required minimum amount per person, which seemed to be $50 Canadian, not including beverages or dessert. One person in our party attempted to order two appetizers and a dessert, which would have cost over $50 and she was told that, regardless of ordering the dessert, she needed to order a third appetizer if not ordering one of the pricier entrees. Service was very good and it was a charming evening all in all.
- garchr00wife's first trip to the topThis was my wife's first trip to the top and my second, but the first was over 30 years ago. The view is great and you can get a dollar off deal if you find a coupon in one of the many tour books they put out. They really do not limit the time spent on the observation deck so feel free to take your time. The one thing I did not care for was the photos they try to get you to take and then purchase on the way down. Too pricey. Also, they try to get all the people they can in the elevator so the trip up is rather cramped.
- DBJV447100Nice View - Terrible DinnerThe views are great! We did the dinner which was very expensive and not great. But, the vibe was good. Did it, but will never do again.
- Bayeleaf00WORTH IT !!!Great food, great views, and great experience! The tower turns slowly, so you get a 360 degree view of the falls & your surroundings.
- Sightseer0213848009200AwesomeWe did the buffet dining experience and it was amazing. For $49.00 CAD per person you can’t beat that. It’s cheaper than the regular menu. Also if you dine in you get to the observation deck for free. So it’s great deal.

Well worth a visit. If you book a meal deal for the free entry to the top, you will not be able to go up before your meal. And really, the view from the restaurant is actually better, and because you are revolving, it makes it a great experience. The food was only OK, nothing really worth reviewing. The service however was very friendly and efficient. If you sit by the window in the restaurant you get to read lots of fun facts regarding Niagara Falls as you are rotating around.

Niagara fall is a must see if visiting the Toronto area. Planned to spend an evening there.I now would recommend a full day to enjoy every thing offered. Be aware of the area traffic! We arrived around 530 pm,lots of parking available $10 day at Skylon Tower. Purchased tickets,to view fireworks.discount coupons available.(3 adults $54) Short walk to the falls.Very crowded but plenty of places to get photos selfies.Washrooms closed the time we were there,keep that in mind. Another 15min walk to to tourist area. Amusement park shops restaurants,to many to mention take in one evening.We returned to Skylon Tower around 915 it was very crowded.really nice views of the area,lighted falls were nice. Fire works 10 pm major disappointment! left after only a minute. Attendant in elevator told us wise move leaving ,5 mins? of fireworks ,then up to an hour wait to get back down,

To get the most of this awesome view then you have to buy the Day/night pass which allows you to go up the tower twice in one day.
Go in daylight for amazing views of the Canadian falls and American Falls.Superb photo location.
Go up again after dark for even more stunning shots you will never forget.
Worth every buck when you do it this way.
It may seem a lot at the time but hey... it is one of those things that you will probably do only once in your life ! (Although I did do it 30 years ago in the daylight and wished I had done the night time too ...so now mission accomplished!)

The view is nice. At the entrance they take a picture of you. After that you can see the picture that has been take at the desk. I didn't know that I couldn't take a pic of the screen with my smartphone. I took one to ask my friend via wattsap which pic to choose as we can only choose 2 of them. The seller, an indian guy at the desk was very rude. Instead of telling me that it's not allowed was accusing me of taking a pic and also that I had to pay for it. He kept on insisting
I felt so bad like I stoll something. I don't mind paying a pic' but the way he talked to me was unacceptable. I had to show him that the picture was deleted from my phone. Very poor customer service. Next time don't talk to customer like that. You really need a training on the quality if customer service.

The trip up to Skylon Tower was unremarkable. However, once up to the observation deck, it is a sight to behold! Unfortunately it was very foggy and overcast on the day we were there so we didn’t get the clearest views. We found it worthwhile and economical to make reservations at the Buffet restaurant because that includes the ride up to the tower. We enjoyed the variety and quality of food.

We dined at the Summit Suite buffet for dinner with a 8:30 pm reservation. In order to reach the restaurant, we had to wait 20+ minutes in line on the first floor for the yellow elevator. While waiting in line, all the diners were asked to have their photos taken. This buffet dining room does not rotate. There were plenty of food choices. Prime rib and the fish of the day were highlights. Dessert selection was quite good. Otherwise the food was mostly average. Some tables were situated right next to the window with great views of the falls. Our table was farthest from the window and had no such views. We stayed for the 10 pm fireworks but had to move and stand closer to the tables by the window in order to view the fireworks. After dinner, we walked up one flight of stairs to the observation deck. Overall I wouldn’t necessarily recommend going to the buffet at Skylon Tower specifically for the food (at this price point), but rather for the unique experience and spectacular views.

Wonderful dining experience while being rotated 360 degrees presenting you with Beautiful views of the Niagara skyline. Food & service excellent. I read some have thought expensive 🤔 Personally I thought it were good value for money as whole experience is unique. We booked for 8pm, you have a 2 hour slot but as they don’t take bookings after 10pm you don’t feel rushed as you may do booking a daytime table, just my thoughts. The meal & view are completed by a piano player gently playing in the back ground. This experience is a must when visiting Niagara Falls.

We had a great time even though it was raining, plus the concierge let us know the ticket gives $10 off the meal at the Skylon restaurant. Everyone was polite and patient as we asked a million questions which they must have heard a mlion times. Very helpful

I enjoyed my experience at Skylon Tower. It was very informative and cool. It was a bit of an out of body experience being that high off the ground, but in a very good way. The view was amazing and getting to eat dinner as you view the Falls was lovely. I was amazed at the construction and engineering that went into the creation of this unique tower. The food was okay, but to be honest, the experience and attentive service made up for the meh food. I would highly recommend going to this restaurant if in Niagara, especially on a sunny day, it was a beautiful, beautiful view.

We loved going up in the glass elevator and then walking around the outside platform. You get such a wonderful view of the whole area. And then inside, if you walk around again, there are very informative plaques telling you what you are seeing and also some history of the area. We did not buy the "green screen" photos they tried to sell us at the end. We did not eat at the restaurant as the reviews were not good.

have about 4 hours available on a Sunday morning in May. We will be coming from the American side and need to be back to Rochester airport by 3:30 PM. Are there "timed tickets" for the tower? What would you suggest we attempt to see and in what order?
Is reserving a table for lunch in the Skylon Tower a time sensitive means to combine lunch and see the tower (and save time)?

There are timed tickets that you can book ahead, but you must have lunch before the visit to the tower

I suggest buying your tickets online tho, we did and we went the 1st couple of days it was open, and there was quite the line up already early in the am. We also booked the Tour of the Tunnel online.
Kun je vanaf de Amerikaanse kant zomaar naar de skyline tower of heb je een visum nodig om naar de canadese kant te gaan.
