Stop At: Skylon Tower, 5200 Robinson St, Niagara Falls, Ontario L2G 2A2 Canada

The Skylon Tower has the best view of Niagara Falls and you can decide how you want to take advantage of being 775 feet up in the air. Choose from our Revolving Dining Room that rotates 360 degrees every hour or take our famous bug elevator up to the Observation Deck or do both. The Skylon Tower is famous for its view of Niagara Falls, River, the Toronto Skyline and Buffalo on the American side.

The Skylon Tower is one of the top attractions in Niagara Falls and a must for those who want to see a bird’s eye view of the City and the surrounding area. Bring your camera, there’s no other place you can go to where you can take a picture all around the city from one location. Day or night your visit will not be the same, the expansive skies during the day and the City lights at night ensure that no two experiences are the same. We invite you to stay a while and enjoy a Sunday brunch at the Summit Suite Buffet or enjoy our specially crafted menu at the Revolving Restaurant. Be sure to set aside some time to enjoy your stay.

775 Feet, 52 Seconds to the Top

The Skylon Tower features three signature Yellow Bug elevators that was the first of its kind when construction began of the Skylon Tower. They were designed and engineered with our guests in mind. The Yellow Bug Elevator has a glass-enclosed exterior so you can view your ascent up the Skylon. Make sure you don’t blink during the ascent up as the Yellow Bug elevators take our guests straight to the top in less than a minute. Once the ride to the top is over, it’s time to experience the Falls in a way you were meant to experience it.

This unique attraction is a very popular stop on the Niagara Parkway and is photographed almost as often as the Falls! The planted face is maintained by Niagara Parks horticulture staff, while the mechanism is kept in working order by Ontario Hydro, the organization that originally built the clock. The intricate designs on the face of the timepiece are created with up to 16,000 carpet bedding plants. The floral design is changed twice each year, featuring viola in the Spring and four cultivars of Alternanthera along with green and grey forms of Santolina Sage during the Summer and Fall. California Golden Privet and Blue Festuca Grass may be used for contrast. The grounds surrounding the clock feature bedding displays and a tower at the back of the clock houses Westminster chimes that greet each quarter hour.

The tour started with the guide not knowing where to pick us up. It was downhill from there. Our guide seemingly had no plan or route. We would arrive at destinations only to find them closed. He would abandon the group mysteriously. It was so odd that other tour guides from other companies actually remarked upon it when they saw us wandering aimlessly. “We stay with our groups” they told us. Must be nice. The final straw was when we arrived at the Hornblower boat ride. The entire group had purchased tickets through the tour company, but when we arrived at the launch (minus our guide. He had long abandoned us), we all found that our tickets were expired. The Hornblower crew were able to allow us to board… eventually. Following the ride we were forced once again to trek on foot to a distant location… on our own… to once again meet our guide. When confronted with the reality of this ridiculous situation, our guide flat denied anything was amiss. We ate our lunch. We paid for it after all! But afterwards parted ways with our guide and forewent the rest of the “tour”. Essentially, there was no tour. There certainly was no guide. If we could award less than one star we would. For some context- this was the day of the solar eclipse which I had been looking forward to and planning for 5 years especially due to the fact it was also my birthday. I planned everything well EXCEPT this tour where I trusted that our guide would have the plan and also know where we would be during the eclipse. It was great when he had to ask the group what time everything was happening. It was also a surprise that our lunch was simply at our own hotel at the buffet where we ate the night before. Very disappointed to eat the same food over and again without even a view. We were all supposed to see Skylon Tower and instead we had to ASK for the tickets and go on our own the next day. We were also supposed to see 2 other sites like the Floral clock and something else but the guy just wasn’t letting us know what we were passing and when he did he say “on your Left - no, Right actually” He also had all the enthusiasm and knowledge of a baked potato. This “tour” was the least fun and engaging tour I’ve ever been on and the low point of our whole experience and my birthday. Don’t book this tour EVER!!!

You advertise a cruise and lunch and instead we had a bus ride and lunch. I had a car I could have take the drive myself. This is not right to advert something that was not in season. The tour director never said anything until I asked him about the boat ride and he said there is not boat. You also advertise the zip line and the zip line is not in season. I am asking for a refund or partial refund because the bus ride and lunch cannot cost $225 per person.

The fall colours were beautiful. The guide was knowledgeable of the area. The drive by the Niagra River was breathtaking.
