I’ve search the official site. Does anyone know if a 17 yr old can go to the top unaccompanied? Thx

Are you sure you checked on the official website of the Eiffel Tower? And not on some 3rd party ticket reseller? I ask this because the answer to your question is right there on the official website:
“Children aged 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult.”

Hi, jsmyersoh, yes, a 17 year old can go to the top unaccompanied by an adult. As Dutch_Travelers said, it is on the website, so you might want to review the site in detail for any other information that would be helpful to you.

A fit 17 yo might enjoy the stairs. You can get a combo for stairs to the 2nd floor + elevator to the top, or just stairs to the 2nd floor.
16 year-old me once ran so fast up those stairs around opening time that I had to wait for a very startled employee to open the door to the 1st floor. Fun memories.

Thanks to all. I thought I had seen the answer on the website and told my GS it was a “go.” When I second guessed myself, I could no longer find it. Thanks for your time and loved the anecdote.
