5 Things to Know About the Skylon Tower Observation Deck

The deck offers a 360° view of both falls, the gorge, and the Rainbow Bridge. You see the American Falls, Horseshoe Falls, Niagara Gorge, Niagara River, and Rainbow Bridge in one full rotation.

It is the best orientation-on-arrival move for first-timers. The single sweep gives you a complete lay of the land without needing to move.

The view is continuous, not segmented. You do not have to walk around to see different landmarks; the deck rotates to show everything.

The deck is enclosed, not open-air. You get the view without wind or weather interference, but you cannot feel the mist.

The rotation is slow and steady. It takes about one hour to complete a full circle, giving you time to take in each landmark.
