A tour guide is required to lead the way up the tower, due to the inability to pass on the narrow staircase and the space limitation in the lantern room. If you’re not interested in hearing the guide explain the history, you can come for a Quick Climb where a guide will accompany you but give no narrative.
Booking online in advance will guarantee a spot at your desired time. However, when we’re not busy with booked tours, we do offer Quick Climbs. Please keep in mind that we can only take 6 climbers at a time, so there could be a wait during busy times.
Please call or text us, and we’ll do our best to create another tour and squeeze you in.
Rain and fog don’t stop us from climbing! What will stop us are very high winds or lightning. If you’ve booked online, we’ll contact you if climbs are cancelled. In the event of fog, we’re happy to reschedule your climb if desired.
There is no age limit, however, there is a height requirement of 48”. This is due to the height of the railing, the open spaces between the steps, and the ability to see the view once in the lantern room. It is not permitted to carry an infant or child, as safety protocols require both hands to be free and there is a 7 rung ladder to get into the lantern room.
No pets are permitted in the tower. Safety protocols require both hands to be free and there is a 7 rung ladder to get into the lantern room.
Yes, we certainly can! Please fill out the events form on our website, and we will respond to you promptly.
