Originally opening in 1962 as the first Niagara Falls Observation tower, The Tower Hotel was designed to give visitors an unmatched panoramic view of the Falls. Standing 520 feet above the Niagara Gorge, this landmark quickly became one of the top Niagara Falls attractions, offering breathtaking sights of both the Horseshoe and U.S. Falls.
Now, history comes full circle as we proudly reintroduce the Niagara Falls Tower Observatory, reviving an iconic experience that belongs on every list of things to do in Niagara Falls. Guests can look forward to unparalleled views, interactive exhibits, and a one-of-a-kind vantage point to witness the power and beauty of Niagara Falls.
