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.

5 Star Rating CN Tower a truly breathtaking experience. The exterior of the tower stood tall and majestic, commanding attention and admiration. Its iconic design and architectural marvel were a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess. The tower's historical significance as a landmark and symbol of Toronto added to its allure. From a distance, the CN Tower appeared elegant and luxurious, with its sleek and modern appearance. As I approached closer, I couldn't help but appreciate the intricate details and craftsmanship that went into its construction. Overall, the CN Tower's exterior was a stunning display of beauty, height, and grandeur that left a lasting impression.

4 Star Rating It's definitely better in the daytime than the night. If you only have the option of night, it is still worth the admission. The sky box is worth the 10 dollar ticket for the views. Pictures are better from the? main platform. Winds calm when I was there. I don't think I would go up the sky box if the wind are high. Check the ticket options on the web first, but you can get walk up tickets. You need to go through the security check first.

4 Star Rating We visited 25/05/2023. We booked as a last minute thing to do while we were in the city and they had plenty of tickets still available for the day. Everything was easy getting in, showing tickets, and going through security. The views from the top were amazing, and the day we went was relatively quiet up there so we could enjoy the views. It was lovely seeing Toronto Island Park from the top, seeing the planes taking off, and the views of Toronto city itself. Not a bad price for the experience either. We really enjoyed it and would recommend a visit if you visit the city.

5 Star Rating I would highly recommend getting a reservation at the restaurant, especially if you like seafood. I had an appetizer with trout and a main with salmon and they were both excellent and very filling. You can watch the scenery go by a whole 360 degrees as you eat because it spins around slowly. Great views! If you are scared of heights you should be fine in the restaurant, just close your eyes on the elevator ride up and down!
