So you just arrived to Vancouver and wonder where to start? The Vancouver lookout is a good start. So so high you can see the full spectrum of Vancouver as you go up in the glass elevator to arrive to the tower with a 180 degree all around view. I took my 16 yrs old homestay student there and was... More

The 360 degree views are just beautiful! The city has lots of water around it and loads of beautiful buildings. This view, combined with the mountains in the background makes for some great pictures. Be sure to go back up at night and see the lights of the city. The ticket is good for one day, so you can go... More

Vancouver is a beautiful city, with towering buildings in the downtown section juxtaposed with the immense mountain ranges in the background, and (almost) surrounded by calm waters. Naturally, the best way to take all this in is with a 360 degree view from the Harbour Centre's Vancouver Lookout! Though towards the pricer end of city high viewpoints, Vancouver has little... More

This was everything that was to be expected from a look out point. It gave you a great amount of information on Vancouver but wasnt overbearing at the same time. My only problem was the price you have to pay to go up there, it is worth doing and the location is great and easy to get to from downtown... More

My husband and I took our chances on a rainy day and I have to say we weren't disappointed. Great value in that you can use your ticket twice in one day ie daytime and nighttime. We didn't because the weather had really closed in on us by evening. That said had we not had anything else to do we... More

The view was amazing, but the prices for the food and the entry are quite expensive. But especially at night it's just stunning to see all the light of the buildings!

Fantastic view from the revolving restaurant at the top of the harbour centre. The meals were priced on the higher side but there were wines that were reasonably priced. The chicken and the salmon were both fantastic

It's a good place to start any tour of Vancouver's attractions as the 360 degree view deck will have a brief write up of places of interest in any direction of the compass. I also like the fact that the admission charge includes a free return visit in the evening for a night view of the city. Like any view... More
