What is the Colombo Lotus Tower entrance fee?

Ravana Tour Specialist August 15, 2026

The usual entrance ticket for the Colombo Lotus Tower is $20 USD for people with a foreign passport. For Sri Lankan citizens, they pay a much more subsidised amount, which is 500 LKR for adults and 200 LKR for children.

It stands 350 metres tall, and it is the tallest self-supporting structure in South Asia. The ticket is supposed to give you access to the rapid lift system, the observation deck for full 360-degree panoramas over the city, and the Indian Ocean too. There is also an open-air terrace for looking around. Near the upper area, there is a revolving restaurant, but eating there needs a separate reservation and extra payment as well.
