I read some mediocre reviews prior to coming here but it was something that my son really wanted to do. Supposedly you can go to the café on the 44th floor and look out for free which was advised in another review. Yes you can BUT their observation deck sucks. Its only on the side of the building that affords the least inspiring view (IMO) plus there are plenty of obstacles that prevent you from getting good pics. Maybe you can take pics inside the cafe looking out but i'm sure people sitting along the window would NOT appreciate it (and I did not see anyone doing that).

It cost about $46 US dollars for 3 of us to go to the 46th floor. Views were great on most sides of the building. Some sides are partially obstructed by the lower deck. To maximize pic taking we asked if we could come back at night for a lighted view of the city and you could - as long as you had your ticket. At night (they close at 6pm in Winter) we were the only people up there and had the place to ourselves. We really enjoyed this and being able to go up twice really made it worth it for us.

ps - an observation deck that actually went to the edge of the building would be ideal. There seems to be a lot of wasted potential. My guess is that it wasn't originally designed for that so it is what it is. Enjoy!!

The views at the Observatoire Place Ville Marie are amazing. See for yourself in these pics. We had the most knowledgeable, engaging, personable and sweet tour guide. FRANCESCA!
We left the Obsevatory and had dinner on the 42nd floor.

We visited this observation tour with a tour group. While there are great views, it was impossible to get decent photographs due to the windows being so dirty. It is not worth the price if you want to get photographs so ask when they last washed the windows before you decide! It also depends upon what time of day you go...difficult to see in some directions if the sun is shinning. Signage is good so you know what you are looking at, but honestly, unless they clean the windows, I don't feel the price is worth it. Better to just walk to the top of Mont Royal and enjoy the view from there.

Amazing views! Lots of interesting facts about the city and culture. Interactive activities. Easy to find from street & under ground city.

The windows with the view towards Mont Royal were very dirty. The buildings exhaust fans were a few floors below. The windows were littered with dirt and bugs blown into the window. The window on the other sides were not as dirty but still had a patina. The interactive displays on the lower floor of the observatory worked only intermittently.

The views of the city were wonderful though but forget about getting a good photo.
