A great short visit must do event in Portsmouth. The secret is has now been revealed; Portsmouth is a great city with so much to offer for an enjoyable day trip or longer holiday. After payment just beyond the Spinnaker Tower admission desk you have an opportunity to get a date stamped souvenir photo of yourself with a tower superimposed... more

Although there is a guarantee of a great view or a return visit we didn't need it! We visited on Sat 25th July and the weather was absolutely gorgeous and the view unbelievable! We were on the first level around 10.45am having bought tickets online and skipping the main queue but there is only one lift so you need to... more

My friend and I visited the Spinnaker Tower on 11 Nov 2008 after spending the day in Portsmouth. I was visiting from the US with an English friend who knows the area. The tower was an easy walk from the Historic Docklands area. It was the third tourist attraction of the day for us, and we decided to go mid-afternoon... more

The second... more

We went up the Spinnaker Tower earlier on this year. I have a fear of heights but my wife convinced me that it was unlikely to topple over, so up in the lift I went.... Fantastic views from all three floors; we were there on a clear day and you can literally see for miles. Standing on the 'glass floor'... more

Took my husband here as a birthday surprise. The views from all 3 floors are fantastic. We were lucky enough to be there on a lovely clear day so could see for miles and miles, from Southampton to Chichester and excellent view of the Isle of Wight. Osborne House could be seen through binoculars. Could also see the Historic Shipyard... more

I really loved the Spinnaker Tower. It cost 12 pounds for me and my husband to go up which was not too bad. There is three levels to the tower. The first also has the glass bottom which is pretty scarey when you first step on it. The views from the tower are amazing. I found from the first and... more
