CN Tower
The CN Tower rises to a breathtaking height above Downtown Toronto providing visitors with spectacular views of the city for miles around
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
out of 5 The CN Tower in Toronto is an iconic landmark and a must-visit attraction. The views from the top are absolutely stunning, offering a breathtaking panorama of the city and Lake Ontario. The observation decks provide a thrilling experience that’s hard to beat.
Visited it on a Friday Morning but unexpectedly it was very crowded and big queues to get the tickets and then for the admission, queues were moving slow. On a sunny, hot day, there was no shade or seating available for kids in the queues which made it a bit challenging.
Despite this, the overall experience was fantastic. The CN Tower remains a highlight of our trip to Toronto, and I would definitely recommend it, just be prepared to stand in longer queues and carry a lots of water with you.

I went here 4 months back with my sister and it was amazing. It is better if you could book the ticket earlier so you don't have to wait in the queue. Once you go up you can basically view the whole city of Canada. The view was so wonderful. It is advisable to go during daytime because sometimes at night all you can see is just lights.

The CN Tower, standing tall at 553.3 meters, is an iconic landmark offering breathtaking experiences. The main observation level, situated at 346 meters, provides stunning views of the cityscape. For an even more spectacular panoramic view, head up to the top observation deck at 446 meters.
Visitors can also enjoy a delightful meal at the tower's restaurant, which combines fine dining with mesmerizing vistas. Before you leave, don't forget to stop by the souvenir shop on the ground level to pick up a memento of your visit. The CN Tower truly offers a memorable experience from ground to sky.

One of Toronto's tourism attractions. The tower provides a lovely perspective of Lake Ontario and the city, which is home to a number of remarkable high-rise buildings. The lower deck's glass floor is wonderful, but it's only for people who don't have a fear of heights. The fact that you could only take pictures through windows and that the 50 CAD fee was excessive for what you received (you had to pay an additional 10 CAD to take the elevator to the top level, which is still only feasible through glass windows) was disappointing. But overall a good experience, must visit if you are coming Toronto.

Best view of the city! There's a nice (kind of small) kid zone on your way out for the younger ones. The glass floor is pretty fun. Is the price worth it for the amount of time you spend here? Probably not, especially if you work in any of the nearby high rises, but it was still fun for our 4 year old. For more mature visitors, I would recommend a meal at the 360 restaurant or trying out the edge walk, it will make your visit more memorable. Watch the weather forecast. If you're going on the weekend, get there early.
