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 🌆 CN Tower 🌆 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) Even with cloudy skies and overcast weather, my visit to the CN Tower was totally worth it! ⛅️🏙️ The views are still incredible—even when the city is wrapped in a soft, misty vibe. There’s something kind of magical about watching the clouds roll by from that high up. (´。• ᵕ •。`) The elevator ride itself is a rush—super smooth and fast, with a glass panel in the floor for a little extra thrill (if you're brave enough to look down! 。ゝω・。) And of course, once you get to the top, that glass floor section? Yeah, I totally stepped on it and pretended not to panic. (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄) The staff were friendly, helpful, and seemed to genuinely enjoy sharing facts and fun info about the tower and the city. There’s also a cafe and gift shop at the top if you want to chill, grab a drink, and enjoy the height without rushing. I didn’t try the EdgeWalk this time (weather wasn’t ideal), but it’s on my list for next time! ヾ(≧▽≦*)o So even if the sky isn’t crystal clear, don’t skip the CN Tower. It’s a great experience, and it somehow makes you appreciate the city even more. 💙🍁

5 Star Rating CN Tower was once the tallest structure on Earth. I loved every single inch of it. When entering, you go through a metal detector, in which your bags are checked. You take an elevator to the top. There, you have amazing views of Toronto city and Lake Ontario, and also a restaurant. It was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.

5 Star Rating The CN Tower offers a stunning panoramic view of both Lake Ontario and the city skyline—especially during the evening when the sun casts a golden glow over the skyscrapers. Visitors can also watch planes taking off and landing at Billy Bishop Airport from the observation deck. Before heading up in the elevators, guests have the opportunity to take a photo with loved ones. The photo is later edited to feature the iconic CN Tower and cityscape in the background, creating a memorable keepsake. The experience is truly satisfying overall. There are also several food outlets available, allowing visitors to enjoy a meal while taking in the breathtaking views.

5 Star Rating What a sight! Whether you're inside on the observation level or viewing it from the islands, you're most certain to be thrilled by this engineering marvel. Spectacular bird's eye views of the city from the observation deck. There's also a 360 revolving restaurant inside the tower as well as a smaller one inside the observation deck. You can also get a glimpse of airplanes taking off and landing from the Billy Bishop Airport below. The elevators are super cool and take you from the ground to the top in seconds. Overall it's a great experience. Towards the exit there is a cool souvenir shop. The best time of the day to visit is just before sunset.
