Skylon Tower




We chose to have dinner at the Skylon revolving restaurant for a number of reasons. Number one, it has the best bird's eye view of Niagara Falls and you get a free trip to the observation deck with dinner. Second, those little yellow bugs that go up and down are so cute! And third, the menu looked amazing!

They do an early dinner that has sittings at 4:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. with a prefixe menu that is offered all year. The prefixe menu includes a house salad, an entree and chocolate mousse.

During your dinner the restaurant rotates so you can see the falls from a birds eye view, as well as the town. The restaurant rotates about one full rotation an hour. As you spin, there are great little factoids on the side that tells you about what you are seeing, either past or present.

After dinner, head up to the observation decks to see the area again and take some photos, sans glass. The wait staff at the restaurant is very friendly and is more than willing to take photos of your group together if you ask.
