Why Skylon Tower Is a Must-Visit Niagara Falls Attraction?

Skylon Tower offers something few attractions can — a complete, elevated view of Niagara Falls and the surrounding region.

Visitors come to Skylon Tower to:

  • Enjoy 360-degree panoramic views
  • See all three waterfalls at once
  • Watch the Falls illuminate at night
  • Capture stunning photos from above
  • Experience Niagara Falls in every season

It’s an essential stop for first-time visitors and a favorite return experience for travelers who want a new perspective.

The Skylon Tower Observation Deck Experience

The experience begins with a ride in Skylon Tower’s iconic glass elevators, often called the “Yellow Bugs.” As the elevator ascends, the city, river, and Falls slowly expand beneath you, creating an exciting sense of anticipation.

At the top, floor-to-ceiling windows and outdoor viewing areas allow you to take in uninterrupted views of Niagara Falls, the Niagara Gorge, and the surrounding skyline. From this vantage point, the scale and power of the Falls become truly clear.

Dining at Skylon Tower

  • Skylon Tower is also home to some of Niagara Falls’ most well-known dining experiences.

    Visitors can enjoy:

    • The Revolving Dining Room, offering a full 360-degree rotation while you dine
    • The Summit Suite Buffet, featuring classic dishes with scenic views
    • Dining options available year-round

    Many visitors choose to plan their Skylon Tower visit around mealtime to enjoy the scenery while dining high above Niagara Falls.

Best Time to Visit Skylon Tower

Skylon Tower is open year-round, and each time of day offers a different experience.

  • Daytime: Clear views of the Falls, river, and city
  • Sunset: Warm light and dramatic colors over the water
  • Night: Illuminated Falls and sparkling city lights

While summer is the most popular season, fall and winter visits often provide fewer crowds and striking seasonal views.

Skylon Tower Compared to Other Niagara Falls Attractions

While attractions like the boat cruise bring you close to the water and Journey Behind the Falls places you behind the cascading curtain, Skylon Tower offers a completely different perspective — from above.

Many visitors choose to experience Skylon Tower alongside other nearby attractions to fully understand Niagara Falls from every angle: water level, behind the Falls, and high above the skyline.
