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.

CN Tower Reviews

Rated 4.6 out of 5 Star Rating

4 Star Rating ✨Google Guide Review🇨🇦: I thoroughly enjoyed the CN Tower. Booking via City Pass was seamless. Entry was easy and the staff were incredibly nice. We lined up about 15-30 minutes before your reserved time making it through to the elevators in 10-15 mins. The view in the Main Observation Deck was amazing. You are able to stay as long as you want and take photos. There is a cafe and gift shop as well. You also have the option to purchase tickets to The Top viewing the city at 447 metres (1,465 feet). The Top wasn’t worth the money to be honest. The windows were very foggy making it hard to view the city clearly. Over all we loved CN Tour and highly suggest visiting.

5 Star Rating The CN Tower is absolutely worth visiting. The view over Toronto is incredible, and if you can, I really recommend booking a time close to sunset. Watching the city change from daylight to night from up there is beautiful. I bought my ticket on the same day and was lucky enough to get the sunset time I wanted, but I wouldn't rely on that. If sunset is important to you, book in advance because the best time slots can sell out. I chose the full ticket, including The Top, and I'm glad I did. The Main Observation Level is already 346 metres above the ground, and The Top takes you all the way up to 447 metres. It is a much smaller space and there isn't much to do there besides enjoy the view, take some photos and come back down, but for me it was worth experiencing once. One thing to keep in mind: once you leave The Top, you can't simply go back up again, so take your time while you're there. I actually enjoyed spending more time on the main level. There are places to sit, have a drink, take photos and just enjoy the view without rushing. Staying there during sunset was probably my favourite part of the visit. Is it expensive? Yes. I found it very expensive. But it is also one of Toronto's iconic attractions, and personally I don't regret paying for it at all. Beautiful experience, amazing views and definitely something I would recommend doing at least once in Toronto especially at sunset.

5 Star Rating Visiting the CN Tower is an absolute must go in Toronto. It’s one of those iconic experiences that truly lives up to the hype. The view from the top is magnificent, especially in the late afternoon. Watching the city slowly transition into sunset, with the light reflecting over Lake Ontario and the skyline glowing in golden tones, is simply unforgettable. If you can, plan your visit for that time of day — it makes all the difference. One important tip: buy your tickets in advance. The lines can be very long, and this is not the kind of attraction you want to waste time waiting for. The Fast Pass is absolutely worth the price. It saves you a significant amount of time and makes the whole experience much smoother and more enjoyable. As for the restaurant at the top, it’s honestly nothing extraordinary in terms of food. However, it’s definitely worth going up for a drink. Sitting there with a cocktail and taking in that spectacular panoramic view is an experience in itself. Overall, the CN Tower is one of those places you simply can’t miss when visiting Toronto. The views alone make it unforgettable.

5 Star Rating The CN Tower is one of those places that deserves its reputation. Even after seeing countless photos online, nothing prepares you for how massive it looks when you’re standing directly beneath it. Looking straight up from the base gives you an entirely new appreciation for the engineering behind one of Canada’s most recognizable landmarks. The elevator ride to the top is incredibly fast, and before you know it, you’re greeted with breathtaking 360-degree views of Toronto. On a clear day, you can see the city skyline stretching endlessly in every direction, Lake Ontario looking almost like an ocean, and even Billy Bishop Airport with planes taking off and landing below. It’s the kind of view that makes you pause for a while just to take it all in. One of the highlights was definitely the famous glass floor. It’s a simple attraction, but standing (or trying to stand) above the city hundreds of meters in the air is surprisingly nerve-racking. Even knowing it’s completely safe, your brain tells you otherwise. The observation deck is spacious enough that it never felt too crowded, and there are plenty of different angles to enjoy the skyline. I also appreciated the gift shop, which had a good variety of souvenirs that weren’t overly repetitive compared to many tourist attractions. The tickets aren’t cheap, but considering it’s Toronto’s most iconic landmark, I think it’s worth experiencing at least once. Whether you’re visiting the city for the first time or just checking off a bucket-list destination, the CN Tower offers some of the best panoramic views you’ll find anywhere in Canada. A must-visit attraction and easily one of the highlights of any trip to Toronto.

5 Star Rating The CN Tower is a must-visit and can easily be combined with a trip to the aquarium since they are just a short walk from each other. Entry is well organized, and you can go up at your scheduled time. The views of the city skyline and Lake Ontario are absolutely breathtaking. I visited during the day, which made it perfect for taking clear, beautiful photos. There are several designated areas throughout the observation levels for great pictures. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience and one of the highlights of my visit to Toronto.
