post conference tour Skylon Tower Restaurant
Guests of the post-conference tour of the World Hereford Conference will eat lunch at the Skylon Tower Restaurant while visiting Niagara Falls. This is a revolving restaurant, giving patrons a view of the Falls and the surrounding area at the rate of one rotation per hour. The dining room sits 775 feet (236 metres) above the Falls. It offers award-winning continental cuisine. The Skylon Tower was first opened in the autumn of 1964. It is the tallest structure in Niagara. Take the “yellow bug� (exterior glass encased elevator) to the Observation Deck, the Revolving Skylon Tower Dining Room or the Summit Suite Buffet dining room. On a clear day, visitors can see over 80 miles (129 kilometers). The circular design and provision of three separate and complete levels make it possible for all visitors to enjoy an unobstructed view. Viewing conditions are further enhanced through the use of a special grey glass in the windows to diffuse sunlight and reduce glare. International shopping is available on the lower level, which also includes the Skylon Fun Centre, Niagara’s largest indoor arcade with over 100 games, a four-outlet food court and a great new 4-D theatre

Quick Facts
s The word “Niagara� is derived from the Iroquois Indian word “onguiaahra�, meaning, “the strait�. s The Niagara River is about 36 miles (58 kilometers) in length and is the natural outlet from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. It is 54 metres (176 feet) in height. s About 550 other waterfalls in the world are “taller� than Niagara Falls. The Angel Falls in Venzuela is tallest at 979 metres (3,212 feet). However, some of the tallest falls in the world have very little water flowing over them. It is the combination of height and volume that makes Niagara Falls so unique and beautiful. s Niagara Falls has moved back seven miles in 12,500 years
and may be the fastest moving waterfalls in the world. The falls will continue to erode. However, the rate has been greatly reduced due to flow control and diversion for hydro-power generation. The current rate of erosion is estimated at one foot per year and could possibly be reduced to one foot per 10 years.
