Other than the Falls themselves, one of the most recognizable landmarks in the tourist area is the Skylon Tower. This week I will highlight the Skylon.com web site.
First off, I’m not sure how long the current site has been up for, but it has been a long time. I’m not a fan of the overall look of the site, but it does have a lot of great information.
The site’s navigation is easy to use and let’s you quickly go to the area of the site that you are interested in. You can view information about either dining area, the observation deck, and the shopping areas. You can check the availability of seating on their site as well. They have partnered with a local company to do this. I tried a few dates and times and some were available and some weren’t, so it definitely appears to be checking something.
The two parts of the site that would be most interesting to the average web surfer are the General Info and the Virtual Tours links. When you follow the General Info link, you can find out all of the facts about the tower. When was it made? How tall is it? How fast does the dining room revolve? I used this part of the site when I was doing my postings after my visit. The Virtual Tours section of the site has some nice pictures and videos to give you an idea of what you will see from such a height.
