Great view and audio guide in several languages possible via your own mobile phone (don't forget your own headphones).

It was a nice view, but it doesn’t worth it by the price. I can get prettier view from the mountains.

We went up the lookout on a cloudy day, but we could just about everything that was mentioned in the free audio tour. There is a lot of history included with the narration. It was beautiful! We took our time and really appreciated having this look out to go to since we weren’t able to get up to the top of Grouse Mountain! After being on the observation deck, we went to the restaurant to enjoy a drink and a bowl of soup while we turned. We enjoyed the view again. The only issue we had was finding a parking spot. There was plenty of parking nearby, but not being familiar with how to navigate the streets and Vancouver, it took us a while to get to the parking garage nearby!

$17 ticket. Only spent 20-30 minutes. Nice views and a short walk around the top. Parking on street and super close to Gastown and their steam clock

This tour was so cool just like every sky scraper tour. You see the whole city as a whole from all angles around.

Despite being on the edge of an area that is not so good this was a real surprise and we really enjoyed our visit. It did not cost a lot and you could stay as long as you liked. It was very well organised.
