A  pair of binoculars (also known as a tower viewer, spyglass) is a pair of binoculars fixed in place with a pole. It can typically be found on touristic locations, viewpoints, on top of panoramic towers or occasionally on a nature reserve (often in a leisure=bird_hide).

Often, but not always, a coin is demanded as fee=*.
