Free to go up, you have to pay for parking though, but the pass lasts all year! 360 views of Astoria and beyond! Don't buy a glider, find them on the ground and toss them off the top!

A wonderful place for a picnic and some fun. Climb the column for an absolutely breath taking view of all of Astoria, don't forget to grab a wooden airplane from the shop to toss off the top!

Great place to hang out and visit. Best of all it's only $2.00 for a season parking pass. Can't beat that deal.

The view from the tower is spectacular but if you can’t get up those stairs (164 ????) the views from below are incredible too.

You can’t climb to the top of the column due to COVID, but still some awesome views .

This is amazing, definitely worth the climb...even though the wind and hail battered us once we got to the top

Overlooking the Columbia River towards the Astoria-Megler Bridge and I to the Pacific Ocean in the Pacific Northwest

definitely climb the column even though you will be left with jelly for legs

What an awesome little piece of Astoria history! Make sure to catch a sunset or sunrise.

About 90 mins from Portland, 20 mins north of Cannon Beach , where most of the Goonies was filmed . Beautiful, quaint coastal town .

164 steps ! Bring a bottle of water or buy one at the gift shop

A nice view of the city ... Buy a plane and throw from the top to enjoy is flight down.

Fun for kids (because of the gliders) and the adults (for the amazing view ).

If you're claustrophobic and/or have a fear of heights, just enjoy the panoramic views w/o messing with the tower part.

Prepare yourself for climb to the top of these stairs by running the bleachers in your home town repeatedly.

175 steps to the top

Perfect spot for a picnic lunch .

Have to go climb it at least once! Stairs are very narrow. Be wary if you’re claustrophobic .

Buy a 75 cent airplane glider from the gift shop , climb to the top, and let it fly. Then take it the amazing view

A great place to spend the day.

Great view from the top, but can be very windy. Worth the stairs up

I love this view , it beautiful!!!!!!

The nice folks at the Cannery Pier Hotel highly recommend this landmark with 360 degree views of Astoria peninsula!

Get a toy glider from the gift shop before you head to the top.

Worth the climb!

awesome view from the top of the colum, but legs are still burning 5 hours later.

Gliders from the gift shop are fun, kids also liked bubbles.

If you're relatively fit, 164 steps takes 3 minutes to walk.

The view was amazing!

great views , like a postcard!

Don't forget to buy an airplane before you head up.

Walk up to the observation deck, the view is worth the hike .

Amazing views . All for $1!!

Walk up to the top of the column ! It's worth the walk!

The view can't be beat- buy an airplane at the gift shop , climb the column stairs and let'er fly!

Best view I've ever seen.

Don't look down while on the stairs . Trust me.

Sooooo f'ing cool! You can see the Pacific on a clear day

Stay to the right.

Don't miss this view

Let it fly
