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 I recently visited the CN Tower observatory as part of my trip to the 360 Restaurant, and the experience was absolutely stunning! While I didn’t go all the way to the top of the tower, the observatory itself offers breathtaking views of Toronto’s skyline and Lake Ontario. It’s a perfect spot to take in the city from above and get a sense of its vastness and beauty. The glass floor section was a fun and thrilling experience, offering a unique way to look down at the city below. The entire area was well-maintained and organized, and I appreciated how easy it was to navigate and enjoy the views without feeling rushed. If you’re in Toronto, visiting the CN Tower observatory is a must! The views alone make it well worth the visit.

5 Star Rating Definitely provides a unique opportunity to view Essentially all of Toronto. It's fun to look throughout the city and find the recognizable details. I'd advise against going on a busy day such as a holiday or weekend. It can get pretty loud and crowded and the experience is made better by less people in the way of the view. The area around the tower is extensively covered in attractions and parks as well. Buy tickets in advance to save a couple bucks and take public transit.

5 Star Rating Visiting the CN Tower was such an exciting experience! Right from the start, the high-speed elevator ride added a thrill, watching the city fall away beneath me as we zoomed up to the top. Stepping out and seeing Toronto spread out below was absolutely breathtaking—it felt like I was on top of the world! Walking across the glass floor was a heart-pounding highlight. Seeing the ground so far below was surreal and made my stomach flip, but it was such a unique and unforgettable experience. The views across Lake Ontario and the city skyline were incredible, even if there were a few smudges on the glass. It was a bit crowded, but it didn’t take away from the excitement of being up there. Just knowing I was at one of the highest points in Toronto made the visit feel special. Definitely an experience I won’t forget!

5 Star Rating The CN tower is an iconic landmark in downtown Toronto. You start taking pics from a few blocks away to capture it in frame. The ticket and entry queue are separate, making time for waiting reduced. The staff are friendly and approachable, offering advice and guidance throughout. The view is outstanding, large glass windows offer an unhindered 360 degree view across Toronto and Ontario itself. On a clear day you can see for miles. The historical facts and pictures show visitors just what an exceptional piece of engineering the tower is. Going down one floor from main viewing area to the glass floor area offers a straight down view of the tower and can be thrilling as a once in a lifetime experience. Truly worth every cent of entry fee. Spectacular. Highly recommended for any visitor to the area.
