Shop staff was generally very friendly. The guide at the tower was very informative. Elevator is very old. There doesn't seem to be a good system for getting tourists through the elevator -- we were told just to wait ( I guess until we had more people to go up with, but ended up waiting quiet some time for more people to collect).
The entire trip would probably take a good 1 hour to 1.5 hours from the very bottom to the very top (there's about 3 levels at the top -- 1 indoor, mid-level is open-air with bars, top level is completely open but with even more limited room.
The view from the top is awesome. A staff member is up there as a guide. The lady was particularly helpful, she brought us binoculars. The souvenirs store has a lot to choose from - very nice stuff. The only drawback is the schedule: they close at 6:00 PM, when sun is still out. There must be some gorgeous views at sunset.
Its difficult to describe. 440 feet up. The entire building hasn't been renovated since it was built. But the atmosphere is incredible when you make your way to the top and can see for 100 miles in every direction. And during Fall when all the leaves have changed.
Panoramic views over the Thousand Islands, a very beautiful and historic area. There was also a very knowledgeable guide there when I went that shared lots of interesting information about the area.
It is exactly what you pay for, a simple tower viewing experience. However this last third time I went there was an interpreter at the top that shared details regarding the area and cool features. He also helps share destinations that you should visit in the area and even beyond. That is why I rated this place to a four and a half destination. On the ground level they have a gift shop with really really ancient kids playground. People are friendly. Great location.
