THE SMITH TOWER VISITOR EXPERIENCE:
On your way to the top of the tower, explore some of the stories, figures, and moments that have made Smith Tower a cultural icon for more than one hundred years in our historical exhibits.

Enjoy classic cocktails and a locally inspired menu of shareable plates from The Observatory's speak-easy-inspired bar.
