Skylon Tower

The Skylon Tower is an iconic landmark in Niagara Falls in Ontario, Canada. Standing at an impressive 775 feet tall, the tower provides an unparalleled view of the beautiful Niagara Falls, making it one of the most popular attractions in the area. The tower was designed and built in the mid-1960s and opened to the public in 1965. It features a revolving restaurant and observation deck, as well as a glass-enclosed elevator that takes visitors up to the observation deck for a panoramic view of the Niagara River and the Niagara Falls. The tower also has an outdoor observation deck with a breathtaking view, offering a unique perspective on the falls and the area around it. A ride in the glass-enclosed elevator is a must, offering a unique experience that will stay with you long after your visit is over.

Skylon Tower Elevators

The Skylon Tower features a high-speed glass elevator system (called the Yellow Bug) that takes visitors to the top of the tower in just 52 seconds. The elevators are equipped with the latest technology and are designed to provide a smooth and comfortable ride. The elevators have a capacity of up to 40 people and are completely enclosed, providing a safe and secure way to reach the observation deck. The elevators have large glass windows that allow visitors to enjoy the views as they ascend to the top of the tower.

The elevators are also equipped with interactive screens that provide information about the tower and the surrounding area. The screens show a live feed of the falls and the surrounding area, as well as information about the history of the tower and the falls. The elevators also feature a display of the tower’s lighting system, which changes colors depending on the time of day and the season.
