Don't take any pen knives with you. They will be confiscated. Fantastic view from the top but very crowded. At the snack shop on the 1st floor ( the one with the glass floor) you can buy a drink and get the reusable plastic cup ( with image of the Eiffel Tower on it) to take home. They tack on 2 euros for the cup. For the top of the tower tour you can stay as long as you want at the top and at each level coming down. At the end of the tour there was a boat ride on the Seine. We went to the wrong boat at first. There is a boat that stays docked and serves lunch. That's not the one. Your boat will be at docking station 3. It goes to the Notre Dame area before turning around.
