Breathtaking - It was really nice to see a spectacular view of our beautiful city and surrounding landscapes. Also, the historical placards that are placed really bring it all together.

Overlook the city - Very beautiful views despite overcast weather and rain (as is often the case in this season). It's worth the price of the visit, the view of the roofs of the buildings is fascinating and reminiscent of New York. Many details to discover...from above

World Class Experience. - One of the most enjoyable worldwide short time experiences I’ve had. Tcircular enclosed lookout floor has superb 360 deg views over Vancouver and the surrounding area, plus informative display boards. The lookout time is up to an hour, or as short/long as you wish. Well worth then having a meal in the revolving restaurant above the lookout. It is a quality offer (not fast food). The menu is broad and an adequate drinks list. A perfect place to eat and watch the life of Vancouver progress beneath you. Very well worth the time and cost. Full marks!

World Class Experience! - One of the best tourist venues I have experienced worldwide. Superb 360 degree lookout floor; plus a quality revolving restaurant offering great service and food. Worth spending a few hours in both to enjoy watching life in Vancouver from on high - great value!

Bird's eye view of city - This was a great way to view the city! There was a glass fronted elevator going up the 168m to the observation deck. The deck provided 360 degree views as you walked around. Best on a clear day.

Beautiful views - Really chuffed with this experience, not busy at all and beautiful views from the top. The free audio guide was unexpected but a huge bonus. So glad I added this on to my day in Vancouver, highly recommend!

Great clear day view of Vancouver BC - Helpful staff. Thought there could have been more artwork to look at besides the photos with descriptions.

Scammed @ the Overlookout - I went with my family on a one day trip to Vancouver and one of the places I wanted to take them was to the tower with a view cause I knew there was a restaurant there Once we got there I specifically asked the person at the entrance if I could go to the restaurant on top and he said I had to take the tour before that and only after taking the tour I could ask the hostess to let me up with her card So, obviously since we were there we took the tour (I mean, we were there) and after 4 minutes of walking we decided it was enough and wanted to go eat cause we were hungry To my surprise our server told us that there's no obligation to take the tour to go the restaurant, you can just tell the person at the entrance and you can skip the tour Once we were ground level again, I told the guy that it didn't seemed fair to me cause I specifically asked him about it and he said it had to be like that So I said, cool just don't do it again and then he offered a refund but had to take it with his supervisor A young lady came and after listening to my beef she started laughing claiming that I already had taken the tour and it wasn't fair for the rest of their guests that I had taken it So after I asked her why she was laughing and what was it that was funny, she changed her attitude and then told me only one refund could be given I said to her that I didn't asked for the refunds, YOU EMPLOYEE DID She refused so we left extremely disappointed cause I had the idea that those things didn't happened in Canada, only in third world countries where people just doesn't seem to care anymore about ethic and values So that's that, my bitter experience at this place, it certainly was something that put a dent in our vacation Advice to anyone who wants to go there: YOU CAN SKIP THR TOUR, ITS FREE OF CHARGE!!!
