Worth it. We were very lucky. No lines at all, great weather, it was perfect. Went up, looked around, took photos and sat in awe. What made this such a good stop for me was that I had no idea what Toronto was. In my head I thought it was some small city in Canada. It's enormous! It seems to rival NYC in size and complexity. It's just astounding to be up there and see all that mankind has built there over the years. It's nuts. Some surprises too - see if you can find the 2 sharks on one building's roof! Go if you can - it's awesome! read more

What's not to like! The Canadian National tower!! I first did my visit up to the tower as a kid. It's definitely better as a grown up. It's so tall, if you're afraid of height, you can still go and stay inside, walk on the glass etc. if you're not afraid, you can actually climb up to even the higher part of the tower , walk outside, take a pic! Woo! I watched my cousin did it from down below. It's like space needle but 3 times taller!! (1800+ ft) It's also one of the 9th tallest free standing structures. Views are stunning from above. Built on the railway land back in 1976, it's a beauty. You can't miss it from Toronto core/ anywhere downtown. Views are definitely better from above! Worth a visit or 4! read more

I LOVE it here ! Obviously best view in the country- you can see upper New York State on a clear day no problem. I love it love it love it. Only took one star off because the price for a meal is crazy expensive- It cost me over $300 for lunch w my kid w no dessert and no appetizers. Ill find a photo and share here- we LOVED it and great amazing friendly staff ! THank you ! read more

Enjoyed my visit, what a view ! One of the best ways to see the city ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Somehow this has always been in the back of my mind in terms of a must to do...no clue why. Queue tourist trap money grab, but seriously what large tower view isn't nowadays? I had purchased a city pass which included the tower, so I was not gonna miss out on it! This was also the perfect day to do so, since it was 7 degrees outside with negative temps with wind chills (No bueno for this Californian). Lines were relatively short and the ride up is unlike any other tower experience I have come encountered with. Typically you are stuck in an elevator with no views, until you get to the top, not here though. On your way up, you get to view all the way down the building and scenes from around Toronto with its outward facing windows. The ride itself to the top is short, so make sure you have your camera ready if you want those iconic shots you see littered all over the page. Before we talk about the two upper levels, make sure you hit the attraction on a clear day. I was short on my tourist days, so I opted to hit it on a winter day with heavy overcast. This ended up giving me terrible distant views, while I could catch decent near shots of downtown Toronto, outside of that, no luck. Moving forward with the idea of a clear day visit. The top floors have what you expect, food and drink options with places to sit and take in the views. They also have staff walking around educating you on parts of the city and the tower itself, which I found very valuable. In the end, would I hit the tower again, probably not by myself due to the price tag. If a friend was with me though who had never seen it, I would join immediately though! read more

Tickets will sell out if you don't book it in advance! We got there at 4pm and the only tickets left were for 8:30pm. The lines were incredible. The views up there were incredible too though. Definitely worth the visit read more

Like other Yelpers have mentioned, the line is longggg...too long. Is it worth the wait? Not really. It's like any other very tall building or hill you'd go to to get a view of the city. Is it a nice view? Of course. Is it worth the crazy wait? Probably not. It's something we'd do once as tourists and not ever again. This reminds me of the Empire State Building. We did that once too and that was it for us. You can see Roger's stadium below and that was pretty neat. It was packed that day with fans lining blocks away. Something about some give away day. read more

Tallest landmark in the Western Hemisphere. It was pretty cheap to go up. Highly recommend going up to the very top which requires a different ticket than just the lounge view. We spent lots of time locating city landmarks like the Toronto sign and the famous Kensington market. A must do if visiting Toronto, for the first time, to get a great view of an amazingly beautiful city. read more

CN Tower - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

The CN Tower, one of the most beautiful, tallest and spectacular Canadian masterpiece. I won't go about the history and geography of the tower but will let you know what you can do about parking, food, snacks, etc. around. First off, Parking - use the SpotHero app and reserve your parking spot at 315 Front St W, Lot #524 (there are other as well but this is the cheapest and the closest option). I got a five hour parking for only $13 through the app. But that all depends on the day and time. Sometimes you even get free extensions via the app. Tickets - the easiest way for someone visiting the tower is to get a CityPass that will give you easy access to the tower but you must reserve in advance. Walk ins (at this time of the year) are not allowed. So be mindful of that. The CN Tower restaurant - you need an advance reservation at the restaurant to dine in there. You may use OpenTable app to reserve there. Street food - as soon as you come out on the Front St. From CN Tower, you'll see the street vendor selling hot dogs for $4, that's one of the best hotdogs you can ever eat read more

Go for the view, buy the City Pass for Toronto. The Tower is right next to the Aquarium, both of which are on the City Pass tickets, which is $72 / per person. The tickets here are around $30 and the Aquarium is $28, so if you do one more things on the pass, it's more than worth the money and savings. Pros include the view, photo opps, view through a glass floor straight down, and plenty of boards and signage that tell you neat facts. Cons include a long elevator ride wait both up and down the tower, individually the ticket price is pretty high if you don't package it up with the pass, and the staff wasn't super engaging with customers, more talking to each other or doing other things than anything. Overall: A Great view of the city and has plenty of great photo opps for tourists! read more

The CN Tower was great, the ambience is on the level of fine dining. The views that you get from the tower while it slowly rotates are simply amazing. Everything we ordered had good flavor and was cooked very well, I would recommend anyone who visits Toronto to dine there and enjoy this experience. It is a little pricey so be prepared for that but overall it was very nice and I'm glad I decided to dine there. read more

This place is a must if you are visiting Toronto. First, the SkyPod views are breathtaking, from the lake to the city, but the lower observation deck still provides great views and restaurants. However, when we went at about dinnertime, the restaurants weren't open. Also, booking at the place came with a few hassles. (finding a booth, and order processing, etc.) read more

CN TOWER WAS AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE. I loved learning about the history of the tower and seeing the time capsule (forgot to take a photo of it). The view was breathtaking. You can walk around and enjoy the glorious view of the city and surrounding areas. There are tables and chairs to sip a cup of your favorite hot beverage. They also have couches. This is a very romantic place for couples, but also a great place to take a large group. I came with my coworkers all the way from Orlando!!!!! We took lots of photos. There is an option to do some kind of walk outside where your wear a harness... ummm ... we did not do this... LOL... it's optional. All in all a great experience. read more

Pricey but its a tourist attraction.. I'm all about amazing city views so it was a must do for me. I would recommend skipping the Exxon's a $15 to go up to the sky dome level. It's small and I found it underwhelming. There are couches throughout the main observation level so if you have someone who isn't a fan of heights, they do have a place to hang back (as my wife did). That being said, I'm hoping to return with a few brave souls (maybe my kids) to do thee edge walk. read more

This was definitely one of the things I didn't want to leave out when I visited Toronto for Labor Day weekend. I loved the experience, no doubt. It is just incredible, breathtaking. The views are something else, you are able to see beyond Toronto and during Sunset it's even more astonishing. I don't give it five stars because I felt the employees' only concern is to take you to the top and then back down, you even have to follow them if you want to ask question. I, personally, they are not as polite as other venues in Toronto, specially for a place so Touristy, they should have better customer service. You are able to walk around on your own pace, that I really appreciated. You are also able to stay for as long as you want. I guess if you visit it any other day, you would be able to freely enjoy every perk but since it was a Long weekend, the Tower was increasingly crowded. Me and my whole group decided to pay the extra $7 CD in order to skip the elevator lines, cause it was approximately an hour wait just to get on the elevators. I definitely recommend everyone to pay a visit to the CN Tower, it is incredible. read more

I presume this is the first attraction most tourists visit when they arrive in Toronto because everybody likes a panoramic view, right? It folds pretty seamlessly into the skyline even though the observation level is well over twice as high as Seattle's Space Needle. I was fully expecting Jamie W. and me to confront a ridiculously long queue since we didn't get there until about 11AM. All the YouTube videos warned of a two-hour wait and getting there an hour before it opens. I was pretty shocked that we were able to buy the C$38 tickets pretty easily and found ourselves on the main observation floor in about three minutes flat. Prices only go up from there as well as expectations, and our tickets allowed us access to the two main observation floors, which we found perfectly sufficient. If you want to go to the third level 330 feet higher, the SkyPod, it'll cost you C$15 more. If you want to make a reservation for a specific time slot, it'll cost you C$7 more. And if you want to strap yourself in a harness and lean out like an amateur trapeze performer, then it's a not-so-cheap C$225. I prefer my harnesses closer to terra firma and the firma, the better. Rimshot please. I think if we had to wait for more than a half-hour, our tune would likely change keys. What I did appreciate is that the tower is an integral part of the skyline and not set aside like the Space Needle or the Berlin Fernsehturm. It makes the 360-degree views all the more rewarding.

It's one of those things you kinda have to do if you're in Ontario... we purchased tickets to enter and to go to the upper observation deck. The cost was $44 US per person. It was kind of expensive to me. But if you enjoy great views and panaramic vistas and it's worth money to you you can't miss it. read more

Great views of the city and easy to get to loved the gift shop under the tower tons to choose from

My 11,000th review landed right here at the CN Tower. An absolutely stunning building that is visible from anywhere in the Toronto vicinity and as the fourth largest city in North America (after Mexico City, New York City and Los Angeles), that's saying something. The CN Tower is 553.3 meters tall (that's 1815.3 feet for us Americans) and held the record as the tallest free-standing structure for 32 years until 2007. Today, it is the ninth tallest free-standing structure in the world and remains the tallest in the Western Hemisphere. It's easy enough to visit and with two million international visitors annually, it gets very crowded. My suggestion is that you make this one of your very first stops of the day before the crowds. When I got here at 9:30 AM, it took not even ten minutes to get through the payment queue and into an elevator. Express-walking through the empty rope lines, it looks like it can easily be over an hour or more. EARLY is the key! I also spent the extra $7 for the SkyPod ride, which takes you even higher than the regular observation deck for an even more special view. Quite secure, very safe feeling and I had only a very little bit of vertigo when I looked down from the SkyPod to the regular observation deck. That was very cool. I really enjoyed the CN Tower and if you're in Toronto, it is THE spot to visit. Don't miss out! [Round number review 11000 overall, 773 of 2019.] read more

The CN Tower is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Toronto and for good reason. It offers stunning views of the city skyline and is home to many different restaurants and attractions. The tower is also a great place to learn about the history of Toronto and the CN Railway. The first thing you'll notice when you visit the CN Tower is its size. Standing at 553 meters tall, it's the tallest free-standing structure in the Western Hemisphere. The tower also has the world's highest glass floor and is the fifth-tallest building in the world. Once you take the elevator up to the top of the tower, you'll be treated to stunning views of Toronto and the surrounding area. On a clear day, you can see for over 100 kilometers. The tower also has a number of different restaurants and cafes, so you can grab a bite to eat while you enjoy the views. If you're interested in learning about the history of the CN Tower, there's a great exhibit at the base of the tower. The exhibit tells the story of how the tower was built and how it has become such an iconic part of Toronto's skyline. Whether you're looking for stunning views, great food, or a bit of history, the CN Tower is a must-visit when you're in Toronto. read more

The CN Tower held the record for the world's tallest free-standing structure for 32 years until 2007 when it was surpassed by the Burj Khalifa, and was the world's tallest tower until 2009 when it was surpassed by the Canton Tower. I've been to numerous towers before where you can see the entire city from above. The CN Tower is very similar to the others that I've been to. It was cool to go up to the top, but it is a tourist trap and very pricey to go up when there's not much to do up there. Also, when you go outside of the observational deck, the entire area is fenced-off! I posted a photos where you feel like a caged animal. I understand the safety behind it, but it completely obstructs your view of the city. When you're visiting Toronto, it seems like a must-do attraction, but not a necessity to return. My group & I made reservations at their 360 Restaurant at the CN Tower. The cost to go up there includes the price to visit the the observational deck too at the CN Tower. It appears to be a good deal since a ticket just to go up was pretty expensive. I'm glad I visited the CN Tower and had the opportunity to dine at their restaurant too, but I don't need to go back to the top. read more

Our suspicions were confirmed by our Lyft driver that we HAD to eat at the 360 restaurant in addition to taking the CN Tower tour. Unfortunately for us, we visited in February and the weather wasn't fitting for the full tour. However, we were able to have dinner and look out over the view of Toronto. I highly recommend doing the pre set dinner for $65 (2course). There are great choices on the menu, and it is the most financially pleasing option. My boyfriend and I both did it, and added the extra $10 in order to have the prime rib. It was well worth it! The prime rib was cooked to perfection and the mashed potatoes were amazing. We also each got to choose an appetizer to start. I went with a starter of the caesar salad, and my boyfriend had the seafood chowder. We absolutely loved the food! We ordered a bottle of red wine, and shared it while we slowly moved in a complete circle over the city. The view was spectacular! It's a very romantic setting, but can also be great for the family! You can really see everything from up there. We weren't able to go all the way up the elevator, due to the high winds. They had it closed for safety reasons. Even though we weren't able to fully experience the tour, we thought it is a must see! We were able to stand on the glass floor and see down. We also loved the photo package that was available to purchase! Such great memories. read more

I purchased the City Pass ($75 US dollars)--the pass gives you ONE time access to the CN Tower, Casa Loma, Royal Ontario Museum, Ripley's Aquarium and the Zoo. It was the perfect opportunity to be able to visit a few tourists areas-- CN Tower, was my first stop. There was a lot of people, but the line moved fairly quickly. On your way up, there are several areas to get photos, prior to get inside the tower. You first pass a replica of the tower, a bear, and also, they will take a professional photo for you. Once you get in the packed elevator upstairs, there's an employee who give you a bit of a rundown before you shoot your way up the tower. I didn't realize how high up were initially, I never really looked down in the elevator and it was extremely quick ride on the elevator and I was scrambling to get my phone out of my pocket and take a video, so I missed that portion. However, once we made it up, I noticed a bunch of people laying down on the floor-- I went over to see why and you can lay on the glass and get a photo of yourself way up in the sky! All and all, this is definitely a touristy thing to do; in addition to that, it's an expensive thing to do. You can also pay an extra $15 to go up another level, but I didn't deem it worth the money. I would love to come back when it's warm-- I stepped out on the balcony and the cold weather quickly brought me back inside. I'd definitely recommend this place to any first timer in Toronto. read more

Being one of the Modern Seven Wonders of the World, the CN Tower is the star of Toronto. While celebrating my birthday, my husband and I enjoyed this Canadian landmark as the highlight of our visit to Toronto. When visiting, go all the way to top. It is worth it. You can take your time anywhere you go. The glass floor is a must! Tips: Look for the coupons through the website for deals in touristic attractions in the city. There is a 10%off coupon in the general admission. Security is very strict, as it should be. No pocket knives are allowed. The Viewfinder App helps you know what you are looking at but it is not really capturing the skyline that you are looking at. read more

While the CN Tower is a popular attraction, there are days and times when it can feel like it's all yours!

We spent an entire day at the top of the world. Was the best tourist day of our Canada vacation! I lived in Niagara Falls when the CN Tower was being built. On a clear day at Fort Niagara on the USA side, we could see the lights of the CN Tower...and I wondered why those nutty Canadians were building that? Got my answer. It's seriously surreal up there.

Pro-tips up front: 1) The SkyPod is NOT worth it (don't spend the extra $15) 2) They got deals for Canadian military, but not US military (even though we are very close allies) 3) If you have AAA, you can get a discount 4) Come at opening to avoid the annoying long line for the elevator and the crowds of people getting in the way of your pictures 5) The glass floor is kinda lame I'm a fan of any tall city tower/building to get a nice 360 degree view of the landscape. Toronto as a city has a great culture and food scene, but in my honest opinion, the views here aren't that spectacular/unique and you're really not missing out if you don't make a visit here. A picture of the CN Tower in the background is better than a picture taken from the CN Tower. I've only been to the CN Tower during the day so can't really speak for a nighttime experience. Probably not as good as the day experience since there aren't as many other notable landmark buildings. read more

Really great stop if you're needing a break from the airport. It's right off the UP Express with is $12.50 each way. The tickets are easy to purchase and a 25 minute rigs every 15 minutes. They entrance to the tower is $45 and it's like any other observation deck. Nothing too fancy. There's another elevator you can take higher for an extra $15 with may be nice for sunset in a clear day. They have an edge walk that seems super cool. For $195 per person you can put on a jump suit and walk around the outside edge. The restaurant is the best bang for your buck. You need a reservation! It's $75 for a two course meal in a high end restaurant. The food was exceptional and the service was professional, kind, and attentive. Best of all you get free access to the observation area after dinner but you don't need it as the restaurant is spinning and right above the deck. The aquarium, train museum, Fairmont Hotel, and c stadiums are all within walking distance. Average time spent 2-3 hours. Restaurant opens at 4:30pm for dinner. There's full security with metal dentures. read more

One of the attractions to see if you are in Toronto for the 1st time...the tallest building. Came here around Labor Day weekend...lucky it was a sunny day. Open from 8:30AM - 11PM daily. lines can get long with a wait...took us about 20 mins or so to get in in the afternoon. Already ordered tickets, but you will have to get online and get through security. After security, if you haven't purchased your tickets, there is another line for that...waiting to get on the elevator to get to the top was another 30 minutes. So be prepared to wait... The elevator ride up and down is nice as you get to see outside. For those who are daring, $200 CAD for the Edge Walk! If it wasn't so windy and I was more daring and willing to pay that amount I would. Great for adventure seekers! The view once you get on top is ok...expected a lot more...Wish they cleaned all the smudge marks on the window (inside and out)...Everything outside is bars and wires...so hard to get great pictures. The glass floor is not scary at all - it's just a small section. Tip: Order your tickets in advance...or look for coupons for discounts. I would recommend Sea the Sky combo you get to see the CN Tower and Ripley's Aquarium of Canada for 58 CAD. Tickets are sold online only and are valid for 180 days from the date of purchase...just a suggestion to save costs. Need not visit both attractions the dame day. read more

I had complimentary tickets to go up the tower but I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the view is. It's changed since I've last been here. They updated the windows and added mirrors on top of some parts for cool picture effects. There's also a ton of seating and eating areas. Just a note that the updated glass floor and observatory aren't open yet but are expected to this year so I would wait for that to open before visiting. You can pay an extra $10 for an additional deck. On a cold winter Sunday it was pretty packed at some points. It was beautiful to watch the sunset, you can stay as long as you want but only need a couple hours max. read more

I arrived in Toronto around 5pm on a Sunday evening. By the time I got checked into my hotel and settled in, it was around 7:30pm. Luckily the CN Tower didn't close until 10pm, and it was the first thing touristy thing I wanted to do. CN Tower was an easy 15 min. walk from my hotel (Westin Harbour), and I felt safe walking by myself at night in downtown. The CN Tower was located next to the Ripley's Aquarium. I was confused a bit with the ticketing areas. The aquarium and CN Tower tours were totally different though. The trick was to look for the giant Canada sign where both tours split off. The price for a single adult ticket came out to CAD $42 (USD $32). I thought that was standard for most of these lookout landmarks across North America. The elevator up was a quick ride - less than 1 minute. The elevators had glass panels so that you could look out during the ride. Furthermore, there were glass sections on the floor so you could look down. The glass on the floor were either frosted or weathered overtime, because it was really difficult seeing through them. The first level where the elevator took me has glass walls all around. The perimeter of this level wasn't as big as it looked from down below. I walked around the perimeter pretty quickly before realizing I was back to where I had started. The views, of course, were beautiful and especially gorgeous at night with all the lovely city lights. It was a very clear night as well. While I was looking out to the city, I couldn't help but think, "OK so this is what Drake meant when he says 'Views from the 6.' " There were bistros and bars around on this floor. I didn't get any food or drinks, but the menu featured some gourmet items. The floor below by which you take stairs takes you to the level with the glass floors. It was fun and invigorating standing right in the middle of the glass floors and looking at the stories below. This level has outdoor access, but it's caged. I loved feeling the briskness of the wind and breathing in the fresh air. This was where the neon lights shine from as you are looking at the CN Tower from outside. read more

I only go up in tall towers because boyfriend hates heights. I kid, that is not the only reason why. Go early, we went when it opened and did not have to wait in any lines. It was a tad pricey for the amount of time we spent up there. We walked around the tower both inside and outside and even stood on the glass floor. The staff members are very friendly and will take your picture. If you want to pay more you can get a ticket to visit the SkyPod. Or, if you are an adrenaline junkie you can do EdgeWalk. I will have to admit, I really liked the gift shop. We were able to get all of our gifts here. I even found my new favorite magnet, a plaid beer opener. read more
