We just made it in time to see the beautiful sunset.
Fun - and a bit scary - to stand on the glass floor and look down.
We tried to get a table at the 360 restaurant - a revolving restaurant. Would have been fun, but fully booked for the evening. We ate at the Horizon restaurant up in the tower - better food than expected of a touristspot place looking like a cafe!
