WEATHER AND CLOTHING

FOOD AND DRINK

The wait time for elevator rides to the observation deck
varies depending on the time of day and season.

To avoid long lines which can sometimes stretch to over 45 minutes, please go early in the morning when Coit Tower opens.

We are currently working on a smart paging system for each visitor to get a page when the elevator ride is ready.

Visitors will be able to enjoy the mural tour and grass area outside while waiting for their elevator turn.
This will cut  the stress of standing in line while waiting for the elevator ride.

The paging system is under beta testing.

The weather at Coit Tower can be very windy at the top floor during the winter months.
Take warm clothing for the top floor tour.

Wear comfortable shoes, the few stairs to the top deck can be steep with crisscrossing traffic.

Avoid bringing bags or backpacks, the spaces can be narrowed by crowds and back packs have to be worn on  the front of the body.

TOILETS / RESTROOMS

VISITOR INFO

The restroom / restroom situation at Coit Tower  can be confusing.

Most people don’t know that Coit Tower has two different
Restroom/Toilet areas.

First one is located outside next to the parking lot near the
Columbus statue. I'ts a green structure with sliding doors.

The second location is inside Coit Tower on the first floor.
Located right at the entrance of Coit Tower.
The female door is on the left and the
male is on the right of entrance.

Visitors without our App will be seen lost or crowding around the outside restroom, usually in dancing pain.

Concession stand / snack shop food sale was discontinued in 2014 after the remodel.

Plan to eat before or after your tour of Coit Tower.
The closest restaurants or food shops are a few blocks down from the hill.

The immediate space around Coit Tower is surrounded by residential housing then a few blocks to the pier.

In previous years a food truck with snacks was stationed outside near the parking lot.
That system was discontinued.

Currently talks are underway for a better food and drink experience.
