We enjoyed an evening walk up to the tower and admired the view. There are some good lookout points. Just beware as some parts are dark so don’t go alone. Full review by wombatdavid

The view from outside the actual tower is worth the trip. However, do not count on going to the top of the tower. The elevator was down when we were there, so check ahead Full review by Martha H

Questions & answers

Q:
What are your Easter Sunday opening times (April 1st)?
A:
I suggest you read what is written on the website, and, if you don't trust what you read, email (or call if you can locate a number), and ask?!
Q:
If I book a ticket, will I have a time slot & if so will that ensure I get to go up at that time?
A:
Not sure what these people are talking about. I wish people wouldn't answer questions if they really do not know the answer, but... You absolutely can pre-purchase a ticket for a …

Not sure what these people are talking about. I wish people wouldn't answer questions if they really do not know the answer, but... You absolutely can pre-purchase a ticket for a specific date and time. With that ticket, you are guaranteed the elevator ride to the top at your specified time. When you are buying the tickets online, immediately after you pick the quantity, it goes straight to the calendar where you pick the date and time. I went on a busy Saturday morning with an 11am ticket, and didn't wait in a line at all, we only had to stand at the bottom of the elevator for about 2 minutes while the elevator came down. Links are not permitted or I would post the link to the ticket purchase, but if you go to the SF parks and rec page for Coit Tower, about half way down the page, you will see a big brown button that says "Pre-purchase your mural tour and/or elevator tickets now!" Hope this helps.
Q:
Is it possible to go up to the tower peak by stairs, not by elevator? If yes, do I need to pay for that?
A:
The only way is the elevator . But if you want steps, you could walk up the 483 steps from Filbert to get to the tower itself! We did it and we are 60+ . And yes, we were happy to see the …

The only way is the elevator . But if you want steps, you could walk up the 483 steps from Filbert to get to the tower itself! We did it and we are 60+ . And yes, we were happy to see the elevator inside. They also give a senior discount $5.00.
Q:
Is the entry to the tower & visit to its peak involve any fee ?

Yes, its 8 dollars per adult
Q:
