The tallest building in Sault Ste. Marie, Mi! There are four viewing platforms atop this 210 foot high concrete structure. They offer spectacular panoramic views of international proportion. Step onto the open air decks or glasses observation areas and watch the St. Mary's River and Canada unfold before you. The express elevator will take you to the top or you can choose to take all 292 steps to the top. The views are beautiful and the human eye can see up to 20 miles away. Great spot to watch the freighter make their way to the Soo Locks through the river system.

  Not a huge museum, but the view from the tower was fantastic. Also be sure to watch the 15 minute history video. Very well produced.  more »

  Great overview of the area and into Canada. It was pretty cool to see some ship coming into the locks from way up there.  more »

  Interesting stop on our trip to Sault Ste. Marie for the locks and the lake shore. In combination with the freighter museum, it was a nice end to our stay. Loved the Native American display as we entered... lovely bead work!
