  • The Calgary Tower is a big structure. It was also an incredible experience to be on the top floor of this structure. From the top floor, we have a 360-degree view of the city. We can also see the nearest towering skyscraper. From the gallery, this is such a lovely scene. I would advise others to go see this tower.
  • Very beautiful place, enjoyable & so lovely. Reservations are not recommended.. just visit and buy own tickets. Because after purchasing online you might not be receiving confirmation message due to server detect lead some hassle on checking nonetheless. So better just go and buy your tickets accordingly. You can take some drinks/ snacks with you in case the skydeck restaurant is closed. A particularly sophisticated trip to this birds eye view!
  • You’ll fell safe going up in this elevator. It is enclosed and just shows camera views of what it’s like going up in a open glass elevator. Once you get up there it maybe a little crowed at first because right in front of you is a view with a glass floor, pretty cool actually. It’s a nice self guided tour and we even visited a couple places we Eye Spied from here. This my be your best 1st trip to make to Calgary to get lay of the land. Ride down was smooth and the gift shop has a nice selection. So attached are some spoiler pics.
  • The Calgary Tower is one of the most iconic and historic buildings of downtown Calgary. It has a revolving restaurant and an an observation deck on top. We did not try the restaurant as reservation is required. The views are expansive and amazing! Walking over the glass floor was also thrilling! All the staff members were also friendly and always ready to help you out with taking your photos. I gave it four stars because the tickets were a bit pricey.
  • Not the tallest building anymore but still a big landmark. Worth a trip once to see 360⁰ views of Calgary. The elevator was quick and only took about a minute. Buy tickets in advance to save a couple of bucks.
