Great views - Well worth the price of admission. The elevator looking out at you go up is a nice touch. The views are 360 and very clear. The slanted windows make for a nice viewing experience. Staff was very kind and helpful. Definitely recommend this attraction.

Panoramic view of the truly beautiful city - From this tower you can enjoy a truly beautiful panoramic view of the city. You can use an app on your phone that guides you in observing the various places and tells you some episodes of the city's history. The app to various languages including Italian. The price is a bit expensive, but if you have the chance, it's really worth it.

Worth it for the views - You do get a 360 degree view of the city, which is why I liked it. However, the information boards inside mention loads of things that you can't see, due to other buildings or trees in the way. Perhaps the boards are old. One mentioned that the author Philip K Dick lives there, but my son tells me he died in 1982! Still, great views!

I loved the aerial views of the city below - First time to Vancouver. We went early in the morning (around 9:30 AM) and there were only a few people in the tower. It was clear and we could see for miles around. I enjoyed the aerial view of the downtown and seeing the surrounding waterways and mountains. The only thing it lacked was a map so I would know which direction I was looking. (Later on, I found that I was 90 degrees off on my perception of which way I was looking). Perhaps I should have brought a city map with me so I could identify the landmarks. There was no time limit on how long we could stay in the tower.

Worth a look - A good opportunity to get a Birds Eye view of Vancouver. The city is awash with Appartment buildings and not the most inspiring.

Just ok - The audio connects to your phone, but kept stopping and starting over. Decided to not use it and just read along the way. The tour was worth it for the price, just for the experience of doing it.

The view of the high place is still good - The entrance was a bit hard to understand, but the ticket office was empty, so you could buy it from a self-service ticketing machine and then take the elevator to the observation area. I could use a Japanese-enabled cel audio tour using my smartphone, but it was a hassle so I went round and round and enjoyed the scenery.
