The tallest building in Sault Ste. Marie, Mi! There are four viewing platforms atop this 210 foot high concrete structure.
(1)

-Soaring 210 feet above the Sault + SOO LOCKS
-Spectacular views and photo opportunities of the WORLD'S BUSIEST inland shipping channel
- Telling the tale of the early Missionaries plus a widened scope to include both local and Native American history. They offer spectacular panoramic views of international proportion. Step onto the open air decks or glasses observation areas and watch the St. Mary's River and Canada unfold before you. The express elevator will take you to the top or you can choose to take all 292 steps to the top. The views are beautiful and the human eye can see up to 20 miles away. Great spot to watch the freighter make their way to the Soo Locks through the river system.
