Calgary Tower

I decided to take the family to the tower for dinner because the view from there while eating dinner is just spectacular specially during christmas time as you see all this bright lights from every corner. It's been a year since my last visit there and nothing really changed with the look and the view but they changed the restaurants name and menu which i think is better but they should've left the bananatini on the drinks menu. Prices are pretty much the same too.

Calgary Tower was officially opened June 30th 1968, the 'Tower' has become the City of Calgary's most famous and identifiable physical landmark. One of the first Towers of its kind, the Calgary Tower offers the best view of the city. Visitors to the Observation Deck are able to virtually "step out into" space on the glass floor experience. Imagine standing 525 feet above the ground in the heart of Calgary and being able to look straight down and directly out in front of you into the heart of the city. The experience is awe-inspiring and will challenge the emotions, but rest assured the thrill will be worth it and I still feel the same thrill everytime I go there. The glass floor is 36 feet long and more than fourfeet wide, the glass panes that make up the floor can each hold the weight of a couple Hippos! With only a glass wall in front, you will be treated to the unusual experience of literally being suspended in mid-air. And don't forget to check out the optical illusion as the shaft on the Tower looks as though it bends away from you.


The revolving restaurant up at the tower use to be called Panorama and they now call it Sky 360 and yes it's still revolving. Before to be able to get up in the restaurant you will have to pay a called "elevation fee" which is i think was $12 if you have a reservation at the restaurant and it's $15 if you don't but now going up to the restaurant is free of charge just make sure you have a reservation otherwise you will pay that elevation fee, then you just enjoy the spectacular 57 storey 600 feet view while eating.

Isaiah sure enjoyed his i think it's called Sky Burger something something ^_^
