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
I know it seems like the most obvious tourist trap but I think it is definitely worth it! It was my first time in the city and wow what an amazing way to see the city from above. Admiring the city from afar it is quite spectacular how much taller the CN Tower is compared to the rest of the skyline. Really spectacular views from up here. And from the elevator too! Be sure to check out both accessible levels, and step outside and try the “lean” attraction and glass floor. We did not book a reservation at the restaurant but I did not think that the minimum amount you had to spend at the restaurant was a bad price considering it also included your admission ticket to the observation deck

Wow! What a great attraction! Make sure to come on a clear day, the view is truly memorable! I had a great experience there. The admission is about 50 dollars for an adult ticket, and 40 dollars for a youth ticket. Also make sure to visit Ripleys aquarium on the bottom! On the main level of the CN tower, you can choose to upgrade your ticket for 12 dollars and go to the top. There is also a restaurant, Cafe, and bar, and "outdoor terrace".

Unforgettable experience! The views from the observation deck are absolutely breathtaking. You can see the entire TORONTO skyline, lake Ontario and many other things. The glass floor is a thrilling highlight. ( A bit scary at first, but fun once you step on it.)
The tower is well organized with smooth ticketing and helpful staff. The high speed elevator ride up is quick and exciting. I visited in the evening, when the city lights up.

We came to Toronto for a girls weekend! This was a stop in our first night! We loved it! We made timed entry reservations for 8:15 at night. Very low wait in a very fast line to enter. It was great. The ride up in the elevator was thrilling! And then the views from both decks, spectacular. We had a very clear evening! And we were seeing the city right at sunset. So the twilight was gorgeous.
The gift shop was also great on our way out. I highly recommend a visit to the CN Tower!! A Toronto “must!”

Amazing views! We had a great time here with my wife while in town. The cost to go up to the observation deck was reasonable. the staff was great from getting tickets through the end of our visit. Very friendly, informative and helpful.
They had great options for food & beverages, a nice gift shop and plenty of history throughout. I never knew just how large Toronto was until I saw it from a bird's eye view, Wow!.
Definitely recommend a visit to CN Tower if you're in the area.
