• The glass cage installation provides a thrilling 360 degree panaromic view.

Some thing to consider during your visit:

1) Manage your expectations. Visit their website which clearly outlines what they have available for you to do. That way, you will know what to expect. For us, the experience itself did not take particularly long. Our particular experience took about half an hour. We took the elevator up, played with the balloons, and checked out the glass cage installation. Certainly, you can lengthen your stay as you please. If we did not have to go, I am certain my teens would have kept playing with the musical balloons. 

2) If you are heading to the tower, I would also recommend finding the time to check out the Grand Quay where you will find the Instagrammable "Bonjour Montreal" sign and visit the Commencement Square where you can view and interact with a couple of cool art installations.
