The most widely recognized landmark in Toronto, the CN Tower soars high above the surrounding buildings of Toronto's skyline. A marvel of modern engineering and architecture, it is considered one of the seven wonders of the modern world.

So just how tall is the CN Tower? At 1818 feet the CN Tower was the tallest freestanding structure in the world when it was first completed back in 1975 until 2007 when the Burj Khalifa Skyscraper in Dubai surpassed it.

From the 1136 foot LookOut you will enjoy a 360° unobstructed view of the city of Toronto and the beautiful lakeshore area below. One level down at 1122 feet you may feel your knees go wobbly if you brave a walk on the 256 square foot Glass Floor. At this level you will also experience the Outdoor Observation Area. For an additional charge you can take another elevator up to the 1465 foot level SkyPod, an even higher viewpoint of the city. For some fine dining with a spectacular 360° view you may want to try the revolving restaurant located above the LookOut at 1151 feet.

If you are really adventurous you may want to try the EdgeWalk, a thrilling attraction that must be booked ahead. See EdgeWalk at the CN Tower for more details.

At nighttime you can enjoy the spectacular lighting that accentuates the tower from bottom to top. The energy efficient LED lighting is normally red and white to celebrate Canada, but changes on some nights to commemorate or celebrate special occassions, holidays or events. There is also a brief light show at the top of the tower for a few minutes at the top of each hour. Of course, the lighting can be enjoyed from any vantage point in the city that you can see the tower from.

Rated 4.6 out of 5 Star Rating

5 Star Rating One of the most touristic spots in Toronto. There is a wonderful view of the city from the top. Really beautiful. You go up to the top with the elevator, which is very fast. At night, the tower is illuminated and it is nice to observe it even from afar. It is usually very crowded, so you can expect a long queue, approx. at least an hour. There is also a souvenir shop in the tower. You can also walk on the glass floor, which is very exciting.

5 Star Rating Iconic tourist attraction in Toronto is a must-visit if you are in the area. Came on a weekday so there was no line but still quite a few people in the actual tower by the windows. The elevator moves very quickly but sadly not super visible. The actual tower, wow the views are great. You can see incredibly far, we came during a sunset so it was extra spectacular. The food in the tower is very pricey as expected and has simple items like poutine or burgers, there is also a 360 restaurant but I did not attend it this time around. You can stay as long as you like until closing. The lower lobby section also has a restaurant, a large gift shop, and various displays showing the materials, building process, and other bits of history of the CN tower. Once again, its a must-visit!

5 Star Rating Fantastic views! We really enjoyed our visit and felt that the price was worth the experience; however, I would recommend booking a slot earlier on in the day. We had the first opening of the day and it wasn't particularly busy whilst we were there, but started to become more crowded as we left. We bought tickets in advance that included the highest floor and particularly enjoyed the views up there.
