Calgary, Alberta, Canada - "The Heart of the New West". I live here and it's a pleasure to tell you about it. Jill Browne

Calgary Tower Has a Glass Floor

August 25th 2009 21:13
The Calgary Tower is a little bit overshadowed by skyscrapers these days, but the revolving restaurant up there still offers a panoramic view of the city and the Rocky Mountains to the west.

Glass Floor in the Calgary Tower Observation Deck by Flickr.com user Dannynic



You have to pay to go up the Tower, but you don't have to go for a meal. There's an observation deck just below the restaurant, with the glass floor shown in this picture.

I've been up there and I have to say, the very thought of it makes my feet tingle and my knees shake a bit because I have a little bit of a fear of - not heights, but falling. Not so much that it keeps me on the ground though!

If you only have a day in downtown Calgary, the Tower is a fun thing to visit, especially on a clear day. The view of the mountains is spectacular.
