Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids at the Smith Tower Observatory?

A: Nope, there’s no strict age limit! Kids are welcome, and it's a great educational experience. Just keep in mind that younger kids might need a supervising adult, especially on the open-air deck. The exhibits are tailored for all ages, so they’ll definitely find something engaging!

Q: Can I reschedule if the weather's bad?

A: Yes, you can usually reschedule. Just make sure to call ahead and explain your situation. They are pretty accommodating when it comes to weather issues, especially since the open-air deck is affected by rain. Just try to do it at least 24 hours in advance!

Q: What’s a good outfit to wear for the Smith Tower visit?

A: Casual but nice is the way to go! Think smart-casual—jeans with a nice top or a casual dress. If you plan to enjoy the open-air deck, a light jacket might be good, especially in the evening when it gets cooler. And comfy shoes are a must since you’ll be walking around the exhibits!

Just got back from the Smith Tower Observatory and wow!

I went to the Smith Tower last weekend, and it was amazing! The views from the 35th floor are unreal, especially at sunset. I loved the typewriter exhibit—so cool to see all that history! We even made a wish in the Wishing Chair, which is a cute little extra. Definitely recommend grabbing a craft cocktail while you're there. Perfect for a date or a chill outing with friends!

Considering the Smith Tower for a birthday gift, thoughts?

Looking to treat my partner for their birthday with a visit to the Smith Tower. They love history and cocktails, so I think it’d be a hit! Has anyone been recently? What should I know before buying tickets?
