Skylon Tower

The Skylon Tower has been a fixture of the Niagara skyline since the mid-1960s, its exterior glass elevators climbing the shaft to a viewing level high above the gorge. From the top, visitors take in a sweeping panorama that includes both the Horseshoe and American Falls, the surrounding parkland, and, on clear days, the distant cities beyond. The tower also houses a slowly rotating restaurant, making it a popular spot to pair a meal with the view. Its combination of height, location and longevity has made it one of the most recognizable landmarks on the Ontario side of the falls.
