"Great views across Portsmouth and across the Solent to Gosport and the Isle of Wight from up there."
"The view from the top is surreal, you can also see Isle of Wight."
"Wonderful experience- stunning views!"
"The views were absolutely incredible in all directions, especially on a sunny day like today."
"Fantastic view in all directions from the bird's eye view."
"Views of Portsmouth were fantastic, even on a cloudy morning."
"Absolutely beautiful views of the Portsmith harbor and surrounding waters."
Cons:
"The windows of the viewing platforms were not very clean when we visited, limiting the photographic quality I could obtain."
"It was ok but whatever type of glass they have in the viewing areas put a green tinge on my photos."
"The organisation is excellent, unfortunately we went on a day when there was very low cloud so the view was very poor."
"Big downside is the blue tinted windows, meaning photos look poor."
"Only issue is that at night all the flashing lights ruin the view out and make pictures difficult."
"The only thing I can complain about is that the windows were clean but not spotless meaning pictures would have marks on them."
"It’s too expensive for just a view of the port, nothing spectacular, nothing interesting, it’s absolutely waste of money."
Accessibility and Convenience
Pros:
"No need to book in advance."
"It's just a few minutes' walk from the train station, bus station, and the Portsmouth historic dockyard."
"It is easy to find the site using Google Maps and parking, getting to the right place and getting around was relatively simple though the car park is a short walk away."
"A lift is available. Making it very suitable for wheelchair/prams/disabled."
"Bonus on entry, wife in a wheelchair and on buying tickets told it was free for wheelchair users and carer."
"The Spinnaker Tower is one of the main tourist attraction in Portsmouth."
"It's located within the Gunwharf Quays, which has ample parking space and loads of shopping retailers."
Cons:
"If you don't like lifts they do not allow you to use the stairs so save yourself the money."
"The top level is steps only so not suitable for wheelchair/disabled people."
"And the garden at the very top is all fake plants/grass - not exactly a garden."
"All the tables close to the windows were reserved."
"We booked for 10am so were literally the first people up there."
"Staff were friendly but busy manning the doors and organising people who'd booked afternoon tea."
"The upper-level garden area has a lot of potential, but it currently lacks proper landscaping or a variety of flowers that could really make it a unique and special feature of the attraction."
Value and Experience
Pros:
"The ticket cost is also bad. Less expensive than the London eye and i360."
"A must-visit if in the area! Very reasonably-priced and easy to get to."
"Fair price for the ticket 🎫 and very short to none queues."
"This a rather a great priced attraction site."
"Better than the London eye and a fifth the price."
"Great value and highly recommended."
"Absolutely stunning!! Quick getting in and getting to the top and for such a good price too."
Cons:
"It is a little bit pricey though."
"I thought it was a bit expensive to go up the tower just for the views."
"Also the view is great if you are on holiday but not worth the money at all."
"It's a little expensive but worth every penny on a clear day to see the spectacular views."
"Loses a star for cost, it's too expensive to visit regularly."
"Absolutely does NOT justify the £15 entry!"
"It's expensive for what is quite a brief experience."
