Excellent view - Wonderful experience. Google maps doesn't have the right address but I went around the corner and found the entry. It has app to hear the description buildings and surroundings in several languages.

360 Views - If you’re in the downtown area looking for something to do it’s very easy to pop up and have a 360 view to get the lay of the land from a different perspective!

Good idea - Simple, easy and affordable way to see ALL of what Vancouver offers. The signage helps you identify highlights and to learn some history.

Great way to spend an hour - Taking the elevator to the viewing area. We were greeted by a staff member who said we could download an audio guide but there is no wifi ??? Apart from this the vista is great with small plaques giving some information on each area.

The Dominion Building looks down. - I came to see a Gaztown steam clock and stopped by. It was so quiet and surprising. Maybe it was because of the overcast sky, but there were only two groups on the observatory except us. The scenery is so good that if you've seen the Never Ending Story, you'll definitely want to climb it, as it overlooks the Dominion Building from the movie.

Overrated - Spend money on something else. It was easy to find. Windows appeared dirty. Admission cost should be half of what was charged to get even a slight recommendation. Have been in other lookout towers in big cities with view more interesting. Can see the beauty of Vancouver on bridges and beachfront.
