About
Hitre informacije: Standing 750 feet tall, the observation deck serves up sweeping views where river bends, plaza patterns, and skyline details are easy to pick out. A centerpiece of the 1968 World's Fair, HemisFair '68, the site also includes a glass-walled rotating restaurant plus exhibits that tell the fair's local stories.
Vrhunci: On clear days the horizon reaches about 33 miles from the deck, so you can trace distant highways and glinting waterways as the urban fabric fans out below. Meals in the rotating restaurant feel cinematic, as lights and reflections slide by and the city completes a slow sweep while you eat.
Insider tips
- Dress in layers, the wind on the open observation deck makes temperatures feel cooler than street level.
- Buy timed-entry tickets online to skip the main line and avoid weekend afternoon crowds.
- Reserve a table at the rotating restaurant in advance for sunset seating, otherwise head to the open deck for unobstructed photos.
- Stand on the south side of the deck for the best River Walk and downtown skyline photos, and bring a zoom lens for distant details.
