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.

A Must-See Toronto Experience!
The CN Tower is an iconic landmark that offers breathtaking views of Toronto and Lake Ontario. As a first-time visitor, I was blown away by the sheer height and the panoramic vistas from the top. The glass floor added an extra thrill to the experience, allowing me to look straight down to the city streets below.
The elevator ride to the top was quick and efficient, and the staff were friendly and informative. The observation deck itself was well-maintained and offered plenty of opportunities to take photos and admire the scenery.
If you're visiting Toronto, I highly recommend taking the time to visit the CN Tower. It's a truly unforgettable experience that will leave you with lasting memories.

A fun 1 time experience! We went on a Saturday at 12.30 pm. It was quite busy, but not crazy busy. The entrance times are not that strict. You have to wait in line a bit even if you have a ticket purchased already. I would perhaps go again around sunset. Might be nice to see all the city lights too. Anyways, it was a fun experience. We went all the way to the top too, it's tight up there. Don't go if you are afraid of heights :)

I’ve visited the CN Tower twice with my two kids, and both times have been absolutely amazing! They love the experience, especially the breathtaking views from the top. It’s such a fun and family-friendly attraction with something for everyone. Watching the city from above is truly spectacular, and it never gets old no matter how many times you go. Highly recommend for families and anyone looking to experience one of Toronto’s iconic landmarks!

The best time visit CN Tower is right before sunset. So you get to see the light and then post the sunset the night view of the city. It will take you around 1 hour to go through the whole place. There are eateries inside and the best part is the adventure on top. It is optional of course, they make you hang on the edge and you can walk at the top tower and see the crazy view below! The shop downstairs is also lovely for souvenirs! The aquarium below I missed, maybe for the next time!

The CN Tower offers stunning views and is a must-visit landmark in Toronto. While its height is impressive, the experience felt a bit dated, was hoping to have more immersive touch. Considering its age, it’s more about the iconic status and the views than modern innovations. Worth it for the cityscape alone!
