As has been discussed, there isn’t much to do at the Skylon Tower anymore at ground level. On the main level, they have a couple of gift shops, and then they have several places to get your picture taken.
Niagara Daredevil Over the Falls in a Barrel – You can get your picture taken and it looks like you’re going over the Falls.
Niagara Rapids Adventure – You can have your picture taken and it looks like you are going down the river
Showtime Pictures – This is a more modern setup where you can have your picture taken on a green backdrop before you go up the tower. Then when you come down, you can head over to the Showtime Pictures kiosk and view your picture and decide whether you want to buy it or not.
