1. Restaurant with a Spectacular View of the Winter Festival of Lights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Skylon Tower’s Revolving Restaurant<\/a> is a celebratory experience like no other. Perched 775 feet above the falls, this unique dining experience offers changing views of the falls and surrounding area. The Winter Festival of Lights’ unmatched view from Skylon Tower is magical. Take our yellow bug elevator to the top for a breathtaking view of Niagara Falls lit up by millions of lights. Its magical light displays turn the city into a winter wonderland, perfect for holiday photos. This dining experience is even more special because our restaurant slowly turns 360 degrees in an hour, giving you different views throughout your meal. It’s a stunning way to see the falls and the Winter Festival of Light displays on the Niagara Parkway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip: The Skylon Tower Observatory is the perfect complement to your dining experience. After a sumptuous meal, make your way to the observation deck, where you’ll be treated to another breathtaking view of Niagara Falls. And the best part? Access to the observatory is included with your meal at the Skylon Tower Revolving Restaurant. From this observation deck vantage point, you’ll have a bird’s-eye view of the Winter Festival of Lights. The illuminated falls, parks, and the entire cityscape sparkle below.
