Observation tower

An observation tower is like a really tall building that you can climb up inside of to get a better view of things around you. It's kind of like going up in a tree, but way higher and you don't have to climb.

Observation towers are usually built in places where there are cool things to see, like mountains or forests or big cities. When you get to the top of the tower, you can see the beauty of the world around you. You can see things that you can't see from the ground because you're so high up.

Sometimes, people build observation towers just for fun. They might make them out of wood or metal, and they can be different shapes and sizes. Some towers have stairs that you can climb up, while others have elevators that can take you to the top.

Observation towers can be really popular for tourists, because they give you a great view of the place you're visiting. So next time you're on vacation, look for an observation tower to climb and see the world from a whole new perspective!
