Tower Story
Harbour Centre and the Vancouver Lookout are part of the fabric of the city, a staple of Vancouver’s skyline since 1977 and the tallest, solely commercial building in Vancouver. The iconic ‘flying saucer’ shaped observation deck lights up at night, and during the holidays, it becomes a Christmas tree decorating the Vancouver skyline. One of the tallest buildings in Vancouver, the complex is home to 28 floors of offices, the downtown campus of Simon Fraser University, shops, a food fair and the Top of Vancouver Revolving Restaurant. Start your day with us. Then come back and enjoy a West Coast sunset and the city lights, or just sit, relax and contemplate the breathtaking views. The Lookout elevates the perspectives of visitors and locals alike. Daily admission tickets are valid ALL DAY! Please note: the Vancouver Lookout does not allow tri-pods to be used while on deck.
Observation Deck
The adventure starts with a 40-second elevator ride, whisking you 553 ft (170m) up to our panoramic observation deck. From there, you’ll enjoy stunning 360 degrees of Vancouver’s picture-perfect sights. Day or night,discover the ideal vantage point for historic Gastown, Coal Harbour, the city’s bustling downtown core, and of course the world famous Stanley Park, all at the Vancouver Lookout
