Watch a brief orientation or explore interactive displays that identify landmarks and provide context.
Good moment to plan which viewpoints or photography angles you want to use.
Walk the viewing floor, use telescopes, take photos and enjoy the panoramic scenes.
Sunset and blue-hour are busiest—allow extra time. Some areas are ideal for wide-angle and long-exposure photos.
Relax at Sky100 Café or buy souvenirs at the gift shop before departing.
Café seating faces the view but can be busy at peak times.
