Hi to everyone: To add to the last post. I am not fond of heights either, but it wasn't bad. The views are spectacular. The tower does sway a little, but it is supposed to. It is nice that it has several landings that you can catch your breath on. FYI I think it is officially open to the public on Monday, Sept. 14th NOT SUNDAY, SEPT. 13TH.

And to add to Haans' post, if you have a fear of heights, the tower might not be what you want to do at Holden Arboretum. . The canopy walkway is ok. I was able to do that, but the tower I couldn't do. I stayed down and watched my husband and son go up. They loved it
