The airport provides an observation deck in the terminal area. It is located on the roof of the baggage claim area, and can be reached from the second floor of the terminal building. It is outdoor, though there is a glass partition between between you and the ramp area. From this area, you will be facing directly the American Eagle parking area, with SkyWest to your right. The observation deck is outside the secure areas, so no ticket is needed to visit it. | The airport provides an observation deck in the terminal area.
