Alexandra JohnsonSeptember 11, 2017Free to go up, you have to pay for parking though, but the pass lasts all year! 360 views of Astoria and beyond! Don't buy a glider, find them on the ground and toss them off the top!
- Commodore Hotel AstoriaAugust 27, 2011A wonderful place for a picnic and some fun. Climb the column for an absolutely breath taking view of all of Astoria, don't forget to grab a wooden airplane from the shop to toss off the top!
Matthew EvansJune 20, 2015Great place to hang out and visit. Best of all it's only $2.00 for a season parking pass. Can't beat that deal.
Melissa ♡︎October 17, 2023The view from the tower is spectacular but if you can’t get up those stairs (164 🥵) the views from below are incredible too.
John L.February 22, 2021You can’t climb to the top of the column due to COVID, but still some awesome views.
Jennifer FisherMarch 11, 2016This is amazing, definitely worth the climb...even though the wind and hail battered us once we got to the top
Nancy BakerOctober 5, 2013definitely climb the column even though you will be left with jelly for legs
Bryan LongoriaOctober 17, 2015What an awesome little piece of Astoria history! Make sure to catch a sunset or sunrise.
GNTLMNFebruary 19, 2014About 90 mins from Portland, 20 mins north of Cannon Beach, where most of the Goonies was filmed. Beautiful, quaint coastal town.
Deepak NaiduAugust 17, 2013A nice view of the city... Buy a plane and throw from the top to enjoy is flight down.
- GB BowersAugust 18, 2013If you're claustrophobic and/or have a fear of heights, just enjoy the panoramic views w/o messing with the tower part.
Vahid JJanuary 5, 2014Prepare yourself for climb to the top of these stairs by running the bleachers in your home town repeatedly.

- Sue ViensJuly 10, 2011Buy a 75 cent airplane glider from the gift shop, climb to the top, and let it fly. Then take it the amazing view
