It is the tallest structure that overlooks both the American Falls, New York and the Horseshoe Falls, Ontario from the Canadian side of the Niagara River. The tower features three outside mounted "Yellow Bug" elevators that can carry passengers to the top of the tower in 52 seconds. Unlike conventional elevators that are guided by side rails, the Skylon elevators operate with a guide rail on the backside only. Special equipment is employed to prevent the cables from becoming tangled in the wind or impeded by snow and ice in the winter. A curtain wall on the outside of the tower behind each elevator protects the counterweight and traveling cables from the elements.
The tower has two restaurants at its top, the lower Revolving Dining Room and the upper Summit Suite Buffet. The stunning Revolving Dining Room seats 276 people and revolves once every hour by resting on a circular rail that is propelled by a 3 horsepower motor. An observation deck sits at the tower's summit. The base of the tower features a number of gift shops, fast food restaurants and a large amusement arcade.
Prices: Adult $10.95 CDN, Senior $9.95 CDN, Child $6.45 CDN Plus Tax

 Skylon Tower at night by sim1
I haven't been up the Skylon Tower, I just took a picture because I liked the lights of it so much :-) But I imagine that the views from the observation deck must be something similar to the Minolta Tower (see my previous tips) so probably worth while doing so. As I had already been to the observation deck of the Minolta Tower I decided to skip this one.
Like the Minolta Tower, the Skylon Tower has an observation deck and also a restaurant. And like the Minolta Tower you have to pay to get to the observation deck. In this case (prices 2004) it will cost CAD 10.50 ($9.15 U.S.) for an adult.
The observation deck is open to the public during the summer from 8:00 a.m. to midnight and from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. during winter time.
You can find more info about prices, restaurant and the tower on their website: http://www.skylon.com/ Leave a Comment
