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

5 Star Rating Great experience! I visited during the daytime and the views were absolutely stunning. You can see the entire city skyline and Lake Ontario clearly — it’s truly a must-visit attraction in Toronto. I would love to visit again at night to experience the city lights from the top. I highly recommend buying tickets in advance because it can get very busy. In my opinion, the regular observation level already gives an amazing view. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend paying extra for the very top level, as you can still enjoy excellent views from the main deck. Definitely a one-time must-visit when you’re in Toronto!

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 We opted for the Sea the Sky package for the value, taking in the Ripley's aquarium next door. We booked the 10am slot on a Friday, great choice as very few people there. The views are stunning as we were lucky enough to have a clear sunny day. Given the recent cold snap, the snow and frozen lake made for a magical experience. The aquarium staff had even been on their roof, putting their artistic skills to the test.

5 Star Rating The CN Tower is an iconic landmark and a must-visit in Toronto. The views from the top are absolutely breathtaking, especially on a clear day where you can see the entire city skyline and even Lake Ontario. The glass floor experience is exciting and unique! Staff were organized and the whole visit felt smooth and well managed. Definitely worth the experience at least once.

5 Star Rating A Must-See Landmark in Canada Visiting the CN Tower was an unforgettable experience and truly one of the highlights of my trip to Canada. The views from the observation deck are absolutely breathtaking, offering a stunning panoramic look over Toronto, Lake Ontario, and the surrounding cityscape. No matter the time of day, the scenery is impressive, but sunset is especially magical. The glass floor experience is thrilling and surprisingly fun, adding a unique touch that you won’t find in many places. The tower is very well organized, clean, and staffed with friendly, knowledgeable people who make the visit smooth and enjoyable. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or returning to Toronto, the CN Tower is a must-see attraction. It perfectly combines excitement, beauty, and iconic Canadian history in one place. Highly recommended!
