Obviously this is a must see if you are in Ecuador. The neighborhood is very rough around the edges. The middle of the world city is like a small tourist enclave. Google maps takes you to the wrong location. But once you get to the traffic circle, you can't miss the place.
The complex itself is a little bit over the top touristy. Of course there's nothing wrong with a place that caters to tourists, but I think a more technical / scientific / science-museum-like environment would have been more appropriate than a bunch of trinket shops.
The price is cheap to get in and there are a few decent snack shops inside.
A trip to the top of the tower is of course a must see, but don't expect too much of an impressive view from the top. The real beautiful view is often the distance and you can see it perfectly fine from surface level.
After you visit this spot be sure to go next door Intinan museum and exhibit. That's where you will get a little bit more interesting albeit some not so accurate facts about the equator.
