Skylon Tower

Niagara Falls, Canada

Skylon Tower rises 160 metres above Niagara Falls, offering an observation deck and a revolving restaurant with sweeping views of the falls and surrounding landscape. At a modest 18 CAD entry, it gives travelers a high‑altitude perspective that few other city attractions match.

Why choose Skylon Tower

From the deck you’ll see the waterfalls in a way ground‑level viewpoints can’t capture, letting the mist and horizon blend into a single, unforgettable scene. The experience feels personal, with space to linger while the city’s most iconic sights unfold around you.
