If you're going for sunset go on the earlier side.. I'd give yourself a full 45 min before sunset. Definitely pretty touristy. Pro tip- if you're going to the lounge DON'T take one of the seats directly in front of the window.. unless you don't mind people reaching over/between you, trying to get a photo. Overall a GREAT view of the city!

Go for lunch- one floor below the deck and with fabulous views. By the time the lookout price is subtracted, the food tab was manageable.

Long lines, and its better to go to it’s bar instead of tilt! Bar is located on a higher floor that Tilt! And you do not need to stay 2 hours in line.

Enter building by way of the outdoor patio below the street level. Pay the $8 for "The Tilt"
