On a clear day, there is a pretty good view, through the larger buildings around block alot of the view. You do get to see some of the Rockies, but not all. There are no info panels anywhere telling you what you are seeing in certain directions. Compared to the CN Tower in Toronto, the Calgary Tower left me wanting.... More

We took the elevator up to the top to take in some of the views before having lunch in the 360 restaurant. While eating the deck revolves so u can take in the views of Calgary right over to the Rockies. I'd recommend this and will be going back!!

Start off with the elevator ride to the top and then bask in the 360 degree views of the beautiful city of Calgary and beyond on o nice clear day. For the brave ones, they can stand on the glass floor and look straight down onto 9th avenue! Very eerie feeling!

Recently made a visit yet again with family and international visitor to see Calgary at it's best vista. First time I travelled was in the early 80's. It was called the Husky tower then, as a family we still use that 'ole-handle. It's adventurous charm has continued to grow like our city. The spectacular vista's are breathtaking even on a... More

Not the first time I've been, but this time didn't eat. Wonderful views, especially as Calgary has grown, however it's rather expensive for what you get.

The best views of the City! $20.00 gets you a ticket up. There's only a gift shop at the top, but the views of the City and Rockies are worth it.

Great view of city. Good breakfast, but expensive. Dining area revolves. If you do not wish to dine, there is an option to take elevator ticket to top.

It’s an adrenaline rush to look down through the glass at the street beneath your feet while standing on the world’s highest 360° observation deck. Even if that’s too scary, you still can’t beat the views of the skyscrapers, prairies, foothills, and distant Rocky Mountains from this distinctive concrete and steel 9th Avenue SW landmark. Two high-speed elevators reach the... More

Thought I'd see the Tower during my recent trip to Calgary. $16.00 per person plus $6.00 for parking.... not worth it. Many of the surrounding office buildings are taller than the Tower. It may be a Calgary landmark.... but just look at it from a distance.
