★★★★★2 months agoCool views at the top and the lady working there was kind and nice. We had only positive experience. Definitely worth visiting. Just be aware that the lift has limited capacity, so either find the time when there aren't too many people, or just wait a little. We've been lucky and had only to wait for the previous group to get down. When we left, the new wave of people came and some of them probably had to wait a bit more.
