  • A great way to see the whole of Liverpool and beyond (apparently if you have clear weather). Fast lift access to high viewing chamber. Only improvement would be a few seats.

  • Loved this, great views of our lovely city. We spent around an hour there just identifying all the places we knew and some new ones from the information boards around the walls. Perfect day as well.....  more

  • I am old enough to remember the tower being constructed and always wanted to visit, though it was closed for many years. Visited Liverpool today and did it! Extremely good and a reasonable price...

  • Fantastic experience. £13 for two people, views of Liverpool are incredible, a must for anybody wishing to visit the city We where fortunate enough to visit on a clear day so could see all the way out to Wales! No rush. Walk around as many times as you want, with an audio track playing with the history of the beacon. My mum has waited since 1966 watching it get built to see from the top, was not disappointed
  • Definitely worth a visit when you are in Liverpool! You can view all the historic landmarks like cathedral, St George hall, Royal liver building, lime street station.. The view here is amazing, especially on a sunny day ☀️. The entrance was hard to find, but the staff very really helpful and allowed me to stay longer since there was less crowd. Considering the price (£7), it's more than worth it.
  • Great experience and an ideal way to see the city of Liverpool and the many famous sights. There are info boards around the perimeter of the viewing gallery explaining what you can see which was great. Well worth the price in my opinion. My only comment for improvement would be to ensure the windows are clean as some of them were quite dirty which of course is not ideal when wanting to see the view.
  • Amazing!!! I am 40 years old and live 5 minutes away from this and I have only just had my 1st visit! I do not like heights but found it easier after walking around a couple of times. The views are absolutely stunning. Definitely recommend this. You have free time up in the viewing gallery and just let the staff know when you want to take the lift back down.
  • It took me quite a number of years to take the punt and go up to the top of this and I’m glad I finally did. Being scared of heights was a deterrent as it is for most tower climbs but the views of Liverpool are magnificent no matter which direction you look. It cost around £7 to go up and it’s more than worth it! I’d love to return and head up for sunset and into the evening in the coming months when the weather warms up.
