This is definitely worth doing if your a tourist in Toronto. Somethings to be aware of though. Don't bother with the Sky Pod, it's not worth the extra money to be that much higher, or the long wait. Do jump on the Glass floor, it's fun watching people freak out. Take your Camera and make some memories. Cheers. read more

This is not a review of the CN Tower observation deck. This is a review of the accompanying Motion Ride: "Himalamazon." If you are like us, you will pay $32 for the CN Tower "experience," including this "attraction." We went on this "ride" because we did not want our money to go to waste. We came out changed men. For those who assume the CN Tower "experience" is about the "CN Tower" just wait. There is so much more. There is the Himalamazon. We walked in to the waiting area. There were benches and "TVs." Upon the viewing screen played a looping video of the word "Himalamazon" and the beautiful vistas of such a place. We were confused, yet intrigued. The video played a tune such as you have never heard. It was so catchy, so addictive, it has yet to vacate our "brains." It went... like this: "Daaaaaaaaa da da daaaaa daaaa daaaaaaaaa da daaaaaaaaaaaaaa" over and over again. Suddenly, an instructional video started. Words appeared on the screen, warning us of our impending doom in the year 2020 due to... "air failure." Our confusion had never been higher. We thought we were in the CN Tower. How very wrong we were. We had been swept away, to the "HIMALAMAZON." A scientist informed us of efforts to produce the world's first "super tree," a sequoia-black oak hybrid that would save the world. He invited us to partake in the adventure. At this point the "back wall" rose slowly to reveal our "craft." We entered. We were prompted to "buckle up" and to "raise our arms" if motion sickness were to "occur." The chamber darkened. The screen lit up. Our adventure had begun. It was at this point we realized... we were a freakin' log. We were promptly sliced into smaller log pieces and thrown into a chute, our capsule SHOOK and SHUTTERED, taking us on the most inefficient and yet strangely orchestrated logging expedition ever conceived. We were tossed into crocodile infested waters and our hands were "slightly moistened" from the sprinklers inside our craft. After about 4 or 5 minutes of tumbling and being repetitively moistened, we found ourselves anticlimactically dropped into a pool of logs. At this point we realized... if we were the super tree, why were being cut down? And if not, what did I just waste my "money" on? We left the craft humming the tune. It was over. But it will never leave us. Then we went up and did the rest of the CN Tower stuff and I can assure you it's not worth the $32. read more

CN Tower is the symbol of Toronto and is North America's tallest free standing structure! It now ranks as the 4th tallest such structure, but is probably the most well-recognized of the bunch. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CN_Tower http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CN_Tower Going up to the top is a must. They are trying to work on an Edgewalk where you can walk outside around the circumference of the observation deck. No thanks for me. read more

The 3rd tallest tower in the world and the tallest free-standing structure in the Western Hemisphere and it's in Canada. It's where?! Wow go Canada. I thought the U.S. could make things big but them Canadians really gave us a run for the money. At 553.33 meters high (haha take that metric system you thought I didn't know how tall that was) the CN Tower is truly a marvel to behold. I think it's ranked as one of the wonders of the modern age and I completely agree with that statement. I've always wanted to visit this marvel and finally I had the opportunity to do so. I can say with absolute certainty that it was worth every superlative that I could muster during the visit. First off the view is breathtaking. From the time you ride the elevator to the observation deck up top the view is like no other. I've been to CN's younger brother the Skylon Tower in Niagara Falls and I have to say there's no comparison. You just can't comprehend how far up you are unless you actually look down. Over 500 meters is freakin high. I'm not one to be scared of heights but I can imagine someone who is sensitive to it might have a crisis. The spectacle that beholds visitors far above Toronto is like no other. My visit was on a gorgeous looking Sunday where there was not a cloud in sight and the sun was starting to go down and I must say it gave me chills looking out into that beautiful horizon. There are certain images that I will remember in my life and this was one of them. You can't put a price on such an experience--officially though it's $29 plus another $12 if you want to venture even higher all the way to the SkyPod. The glass floor is one of those interesting attractions that other tall landmarks have copied. It is quite small for such a great concept and it does get crowded when all the tourist congregate but it's still a great photo-op nonetheless. The view all the way down is limited but still reminds you that you're pretty high up standing on a glass floor that can break. A fact that I kept sharing with my buddy who's really not a big fan of heights. I know, I know how immature of me. One's visit to Toronto is never complete without a visit to this landmark. It's like going to France and not visiting the Eiffel Tower or London and completely forgetting Buckingham Palace. It's a staple for Canada after all it's not called Canada's National Tower for no reason. A visit to CN is tout simplement magnifique! read more

My girlfriend and I purchased our tickets online so we could bypass the line. And thank goodness that we did, the line was horrendous. I wouldn't have had the patience to stand in that line! But for everything, there was a line. To get in, get out and even use the restroom. It was pure hectic madness. The tower is a great tourist attraction. We purchased the package for all 3 levels which ran about $95 for the two of us. Definitely worth a once in a lifetime visit. The first level had the glass floor lookout. The advertisement made it seem as if it was the entire floor. But it is actually just a small part of one side, and it's a main attraction so expect to wait to be able to experience. When I finally got my chance, someone let out a awful fart, so my experience was very short lived. The second level is the middle platform in which you can view the entire city and it's skyscrapers. It was a good view of the entire city of Toronto. The top level is where you can see so far out that you can even see the US and surrounding islands. Truly gorgeous. The view from all levels were fantastic. My favorite though was the top. You could see the city in New York which is where I grew up so it had sentimental value to it. But the overall view is just gorgeous. Absolutely loved it. The downfall though is the layout isn't navigational friendly or organized. We ended up getting the wrong line more than once. Nothing is labeled and no one is telling you what line is for what. The employees were kind enough to allow us to take a secret elevator back up without the crowds which was nice but then we had to go through security again and deal with the long lines all over again. I don't know if the CN Tower ever has downtime but it would be more pleasurable if we didn't have to deal with the crazy lines, madness and lack of organization. read more

YELP REVIEWS IN CANADA, EH? CN Tower rocks Its high and provides great views Gary Carter yeah! read more

the 360 restaurant is good. Can be a good spot for a date. I would suggest if you're just going to the observation deck to go in the evening before the sun sets. It's not as busy and it's an amazing view. oh and the glass floor isn't that spectacular. read more

I've been to the observation deck of several of the tallest towers in the world, so I wasn't going to miss the opportunity to visit the top of the CN Tower on a bright sunny day. It was disappointing that the outdoor walkway was closed due to "weather". As far as I could tell, it was not due to wind, just cold. Of course it's going to be cold out - it's Toronto in February. Come on! One of the two elevators was out of commission while I was there, which made the lines longer than they needed to be. The view was spectacular, although the sun glare off the lake made it hard to see New York. The admission price is much too expensive. Sky Tower in Auckland, N Seoul Tower, Tower of the Americas - none of them charge even half what the CN Tower charges. read more

We went back to the CN tower for the first time in a year to celebrate a birthday and I must say the service has been upgraded! The waiters were extremely helpful and friendly. They took our food allergies very seriously. I think they might've gotten a message from other customers that a change was needed in their attitude. All of our meals were exceptional. It was a perfect night to look at the city and we were able to take in the sunset. read more

Meh...really wasn't worth the visit to me. It may be tall, but not visually appealing except at night from afar! Tourist trap!

A city landmark!!! I love love love the CN tower! I've lived in the the GTA for 20 years and always enjoy going to the CN tower, especially when family and friends come to visit. The have added many touristy additions throughout the years such as movies, interactive experiences, etc. A tip: go up to see the views an hour or so before sunset that way you see the day time, sunset and night time views. read more

Crazy beautiful view, but worth $40... I don't know about that one. It wasn't busy when I went (Sunday morning in January) so I was able to easily get through the whole thing in less then 15 minutes. It was cool because of the glass bottom floor but this is definitely something that you would only do once, or when you have visitors in town. If I did do it again, I would definitely eat in the view restaurant because it includes free admission! read more

This is probably my 3rd time up here. At about $30, I think it maybe little more on the steep side since you're just going up to the top and having a quick view. It's not like the Empire State building where you get to actually learn about all the fun facts while waiting in line. No fun facts in the CN tower. Maybe a few posters here and there. But I do like the bar-restaurant up at the top. Servers are clueless, but at least you can enjoy a drink...pick your own window table and just hang out to make your $30 worthwhile. Had I known about the other restaurant earlier, I would probably do that next time on my next visit and get some dinner reservations while enjoying the view of the city or the harbor. Also, I would probably recommend getting there earlier in the day. I came in late afternoon, and you can tell that people have rubbed their faces, hands, etc on the windows, so taking pictures of downtown was a little bit difficult with peoples sweat, grease and oil all smudged up on the windows. read more

The best part of this attraction is the view from the top. This was our experience: We went on a weekday morning and ran into some intense crowds right at the bottom of the tower. We had no idea that there would be so many people on what we thought was an "off" time. Despite having City Passes to "skip" the admission line (which we did, and saved probably 30-45 minutes), there is still an initial security line (about 15-20 minutes), then a second security line (about 5 minutes) and then a massive line to get on the elevator (about 20-30 minutes). All of that waiting and shuffling and stuffy hallways and (I'm sorry to say, but) smelly people, by the time we got into the glass elevator, the magic was already gone. We just wanted to get up to the top and show our boys the view from the tallest tower they've ever been on. Once at the top, a one minute ride, the doors opened and- surprise! More stuffy crowds! Once we got a spot at the window and were able to look out, it was finally sort of worth it. The view from so high up is really neat, especially on a nice day when you can see the city, skyscrapers and train tracks, the water and islands, boats in the harbor, etc. Our boys were pretty excited to spot it all, though our four-year-old was bored after 5 minutes. Ah! What? We switched it up and headed out to the outdoor viewing area. As I was ushering my four-year-old into the revolving door, some guy on the other side didn't even look and started busting through and almost slammed my poor kid in the back of the head with the door. (These are the kind of people you'll be sharing space with.) Once we stepped foot outside, the wind was so intense! It made things a little chilly, but what else could you expect from being so high up. We got about 10 more minutes of attention from the kids out here, but then they lost it. I guess it just wasn't as exciting for them as we had expected. The novelty wore off way too fast. So back in the doors we went, to wait in line for another 15 minutes to get back on the elevator to go down. I'll tell you: that one-minute elevator ride goes fast (15 miles per hour I believe) so take care when stepping off because you might feel a little woozy! We noticed the room for the thrill-seekers to perform the Edge Walk, a fun stunt in which you get harnessed up and take a guided walk around the outer edge of the tower, way way up there. It's definitely something to consider if you want some pretty incredible bragging rights! A quick walk through the souvenir shop resulted in a magnet for the fridge and two spinning flashlighty things for the boys, then we headed back out towards the sidewalk through the crowds. Because this attraction was part of the City Pass, it was somewhat worth it to shuffle along through the lines and people, however, if we had had to wait in all of those lines AND the admission line to pay full price for tickets, it would have sent me over the edge (pardon the pun). I don't like crowds and long lines, period, so this experience was by far not my favorite of our entire trip. We left with a firm belief that we don't need to come back anytime soon. If you're in town from far away and/or have never been at the top of the CN Tower before, you should still definitely do it and cross it off your list. And if you don't mind crowds, pushy people, and line after long line, you'll just love it here! :) read more

We went on a foggy day. Does that tell you enough? OK, so it wasn't THAT foggy, but I'm sure the views have been a lot better than what we saw! It was still an awesome experience, and I can definitely tell that on a pretty, clear day the views are great. It was a great experience overall, and we enjoyed it. Nothing too exciting, though- just great views. Very windy as well! Pricewise? Awful, just awful. $30/person just to look at a city with your own eyes, but hey- you wanna be able to say you went, right? Also, as soon as we left around 4 or so, that lovely Toronto traffic started getting heavy, so keep that in mind as well. Bring your camera, go on a weekday in the morning if you can, and hope it remains sunny and clear! =) Very touristy. ;) read more

One of the things you have to do in your life: Take the elevator up 58 seconds to get to the top of the world! When you get to the top of the CN Tower, you can see the entire city...Breath-taking views, which are peaceful and serene. If you are not afraid of heights, look out the elevator as you are going up and down the tower! Travel to the glass floor area to look down the tower, what a trip! My husband and I laid down on the glass floor and took pics like all the tourists. It was one of the best pictures of the trip so far! The CN Tower also has a restaurant, video, and a ride. We chose the Himalamazon ride, which is a simulation ride like Star Wars in Disneyland. If you get motion sickness, don't ride, but it is an interesting, fun experience. You get sprayed with water during water-scenes! Definitely true that it is one of the top 25 things to do in TO! read more

PLUS: I visited the CN Tower recently with my lady and we definitely had a good time. the tower offers a beautiful view of GTA and we took some supercool photos. MINUS: The tower could use some renovations for the price they are charging. It seems that the highest point could be designed to offer an unobstructed view...but I'm not an architect :) ***If you are on a budget then I suggest skipping the extra spend to see the top. read more

A definite must come if you're a tourist! General admission for adults are $39 but you can print out a 15% off coupon from online. read more

CN Tower - Looks like it's about to fall on me!! - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

First off, the prices to get to the top are a rip off and the time it takes to get in is ridiculous. However, it is a must if you've never been or plan on returning to Toronto. If you're going to spend the money to get to the observation deck, then you should spend the extra to go higher. I couldn't afford the wait time to go higher or I would've. I hate going to an observation deck and having to view through dirty glass. Plus, it was so over-crowded that I was miserable. The glass floor was neat but I've never seen so many people taking selfies in my life. read more

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

Got to do it if you're in Toronto for the first time. It dominates the skyline, so you can't help but wonder what is up there while walking around the city. The views are great. Coming next door to Rogers Centre helps because you can stare down into the stadium - as a baseball fan, I loved it, even though the roof was closed. There is also a section with open air grates to stare through rather than looking through glass. One section even has a glass floor - whooo. For a little extra, you can go up even higher. Not sure it adds a whole lot to the experience, but it is not that much more ($12 CAD, about $9 USD), so just go for it, people. A really cool hour, y'all. read more

Definitely worth a trip if you're in Toronto. I was a little skeptical on this seeing as i've been to the top of the Empire State Building and other tall structures in other cities but this definitely is worth it. It was 60something US dollars total for two people for the ride up and skypod. The glass floor they boast will make even the bravest person think twice... I have no problem with heights, roller coasters, drops or anything like that but for some reason the split second before I put my foot down on that glass panel my brain said, "NOOOOOO...!!" It is quite safe and fun actually to look straight down. We got lucky heading up too. They said the wait was about an hour+ but it only took about 25-30 minutes in-line-time to get to the first level. The inside deck is cool but outside is even better. Elevators up to the skypod are tiny and only hold like 10-12 people so getting back down when its crowded up top could take a while; we didn't have a problem though. The sinks in the bathroom are nice too... you'll see what I mean when you go lol. All in all, if you find yourself in Toronto head over to the CN Tower. And check out the little beach thing with yellow umbrellas by the water. Awesome time. read more

The C(anadian) N(ational Railway) Tower in Toronto, Ontario. For about 30 something years it was the tallest free-standing structure in the world! Iv been to the CN tower twice....there's many things to do around the CN tower besides going up the structure... There's restaurants... Shops....And a mini museum decade to the CN tower... From up top in the CN tower you can look down at the beautiful view from the observation deck... or walk on the glass floor looking down on how far up you are from the ground....the trip going up and down was not a long one... Around five minutes... But it is one of the famous towers in Toronto so I suggest you at least check it out while your there...extremely hard to find parking... There is a paid parking lot near CN tower...take advantage of that! read more

If you are visiting Toronto you MUST go here!! I love the views during the day and night. It is also very beautiful at night because it lights up in bright colours. On certain days like Canada day it goes red and white and every 10 minutes there is a light show. I also like the gift shop which is a great spot to pick up souvenirs. read more

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

I don't really like "tourist attractions", but I surprised myself with the CN Tower. My visit was last summer, on a Friday morning. I think that NOT going on a weekend really helped with the experience. It's something that you need a little room to take in, not to be surrounded by a mob of tourists. I recommend going on an off-peak time. I did the whole package which included: - Main lookout, which was pretty nice and obviously gives you a great view of the city. - Glass floor - this part was boring for me. I stood on it and looked down, but there's not really much to see. - Skypod - This is the second level basically. It is quite a bit higher than the main lookout, and it was cool to go up there, but to be honest I didn't really see much that I hadn't already seen downstairs. - 3D movie - At the time of my visit, this was a surfing movie staring Kelly Slater. It actually was really quite entertaining. - Ride - This was weird but ok. Definitely not the highlight of the visit but worth the time, barely. About $35 per person for the package, depending on where you buy your tickets (some websites have deals, there are corporate rates, etc). Smaller packages (which basically exclude the skypod I think) are available. read more

I can't help but to think that observation decks in tall skyscrapers are somewhat passé. I've lived in Chicago for many years but I've never been up the then Sears Tower or the Hancock Building Observatory. I grew up in Kuala Lumpur but I've never been up the Petronas Twin Tower. But alas, I fell into the tourist trap and went up the CN Tower in Toronto. It's quite obvious that tickets are ridiculously expensive. And then there's the enormous queue to get up the tower. After 30 minutes of wait, I was ready to call it quits. But no, I persisted. The view was quite magnificent, aside from the multiple solid panels on the observation glass that's ruining it. I quite enjoyed the glass floors as well, which can be eeriely frightening for those who's scared of heights. But after 20 minutes up there, I was honestly bored and it reminded me why I don't go up to observation decks. But you know what would be trendy to have in North America? Open air rooftop bar like Sirocco in Bangkok, Thailand. Why pay just for the view? Might as well get a drink for the same price as well, no? read more

While visiting Toronto you must do one very tourist thing which costs money - and that will be going up the CN Tower. A little over priced (it cost $23, I thought it was more worth $15 but cie l'vie), the thrill of shooting up in the glass lift (for extra bonus fun pretend you are Batman and you just used one of your utility belt thingamabobbers to shoot up a building) as you go higher and higher the anticipation to reach the top and explore the view is incredible. Once out of the lift you will be in awe of the Toronto skyline and water view. Also not to be missed is the glass floor - this is not made for people with a fear of heights... me, I was one of the people sitting on it posing for photos. It was also fun to have all sort of buildings "there's my flat" and "there is where I used to live" pointed out by my friend who is a Torontonian. More fun was the lift ride down! read more

Really cool experience but probably a bit overpriced. The glass floor is fun, scary, and exciting all at the same time. The view is really awesome but if you are willing to pay a bit more to got up to the Sky Pod you'll get an amazing view of the city! Best Advice: Go around 5 or 6pm, experience the views during the day. Grab some dinner at one of the restaurants onsite and then check out a the great views at night of all the city lights. read more

I wasn't very impressed with the CN Tower, I was expecting more. The views were awesome though, but the tower itself was just ok. I guess I was expecting more glamour and what not. read more

Looking at the CN Tower appeared small to me. I'm still surprised it is the second tallest building in the world. The one thing I did not like about the view from the top was the fact that it was fenced off. I liked the glass floor that they had. It was scary at first but then my fear went away. Definitely come check it out once. read more

We visited on 6/21/23 and we were basically lied to our face about going up the sky desk. If you are going to make an exception to a different group of people (who we rode up the ground elevator with) to go early and if we are told we can go to, there is no reason we shouldn't have been allowed to go especially when a worker said we could and told us to get in line. And the whole capacity explanation is not correct either, because 1) you will only print out tickets to the SkyPod to meet max capacity...and 2) You are assuming that 100% of the people will 100% go at their assigned time. Yes we were told this to our face about the 100% usage rate. But I think in fairness, no company in the world can have a 100% accurate prediction. We felt that the manager was just lying to use since no company in the work has 100% accurate prediction of when customers will use their ticket. And on top of that, if you have 50 people to occupy the SkyPod at any given time, then you can't tell me that if only 25 people of the 1st time slot, then you won't allow 25 people to go up early that was from the 2nd time slot. BASICALLY, you should have honored what we were told about going up early from a customer perspective. The people after us would have still gone up anyway and there would be no over capacity issue since you only printed out enough tickets to meet capacity. read more

It's neat to look at, and neat to be up there especially with the glass floor. But with the cheapest ticket, to find out that the outside observation deck was closed on a perfectly fine weather day, and that the inner observation deck is partially blocked off by a restaurant keeping me from seeing half the city unless I sat down and had an overpriced meal was a letdown. They should have charged half price on the day I went. And really, the view isn't that impressive. The best part is looking down into Skydome. read more

My experience was great because I was able to get all dressed up and spend quality time with the love of my life ...However he thinks it was overpriced for the food and wine. He enjoyed the tower and my company though...I recommend visiting the restaurant and observation deck if you visit Toronto just to say you did it. read more

Would have given 4 stars. But the construction out front of the ramp area made is VERY VERY difficult in getting to the CN tower entrance. Great view, great thing to do when in Toronto. But not a MUST do item. read more

Lying on the glass floor of the CN Tower was listed as one of the top 25 things you must do in Toronto, so I just had to come. The exterior reminds me very much of the Stratosphere Tower in Las Vegas, NV. However, the difference between the two is that the elevator in the CN Tower has glass windows and a glass floor for your viewing pleasure as you ascend to the observation deck (glass ceiling when you descend). This is definitely not for those that have a fear of heights. I had sweaty palms prior to boarding, but the whole ride up was so smooth and quick (only 1 minute!), that I was fine and was in awe as we went up. The CN Tower also has a glass floor on the observation deck. I hovered at the edges for a long time, not really trusting the glass floor, but as kids and adults jumped on it and the Tower employee assured us it was strong enough to hold a couple of elephants, I plopped over and set myself down on the glass floor. I could see the Rogers Center and Steam Whistle Brewery below. I only opted for the cheapest package, which was $22.99 for the observation deck and glass floor. Other reviewers have said that the extra $4 was not worth it to go up to the SkyPod so I skipped it. This is definitely worth a trip up if you want a full view of Toronto. It was a little hazy out when I went up, but I could just make out the buildings over at Niagara Falls. What a sight! read more

Yes, it's touristy. Yes, lines are long. Yes, every level is crowded, but it was still fun and worth the time. Exceptional views - we visited on a clear, sunny day. The glass floor is fun to stand on and look through. However, if you don't like heights, or sometimes experience vertigo, skip this part. read more

I'm not a fan of lines or touristy things, but you kind of have to see the CN Tower if you're a tourist in Toronto. It's like missing the Empire State Building when in New York, or skipping the Golden Gate Bridge when in San Francisco. So I paid for my $23 elevator ride and stood in line with the rest of the sheep for about an hour. It's a great view from the observation deck; I got some really sharp photos and further confirmation that Toronto's a big place. The open-air platform underneath was a disappointment, it's hard to see or take photographs through the chain-link fencing that surrounds it. The gift shop here is actually pretty nice, with some decent quality stuff that's a cut above the usual tourist crap. I was strongly tempted by the $40 CN Tower-shaped pepper mill, surely a conversation starter if ever there was one. read more

A must-visit if you're in Toronto for the first time. It's breathtaking from the bottom, but all the way up is a total treat. The elevator ride up faces the outside, so you're seeing everything through the glass window. This was actually a bit scarier than the glass floor up there! It goes up very quickly though - although no, not like an amusement park ride or anything. You have the option of buying tickets to the lookout, which includes the glass floor, or also adding on the skybox to go all the way up to the tippy top. We opted out of that and just did the lookout and glass floor (most basic package) for $23/each. The view from the lookout is amazing! You can walk all around, taking in a fantastic 360 of Toronto. It's a lot bigger than I'd imagined! We were lucky in that it was a cool, sunny day. When your'e outside, the view is sort of blocked by the "gating" surrounding it, but if you're inside, the view is clear from the window. Definitely take a step on the glass floor! I'm extremely afraid of heights, but I had no problems with this for some reason. It's not as scary as I thought. I even did pushups on it. :) It doesn't really feel that you're on a glass floor because it's just a small window that you can step on, and once you're off, it's just regular flooring. If the entire floor was one piece of glass, then yeah, that'd probably be a bit frightening for those with an aversion to heights. That's what I was thinking it would be. I bet the view at night is awesome, too. But if you want to do the glass floor, I don't think a night trip would let you see much. read more

When in Toronto...of course one would go here (where else would they go?!) Is a similar experience to the Empire State Building in NYC but still offers a unique experience, and as a huge fan of architecture and sightseeing we enjoyed this trip up a lot. They had a lot of informative posters and information scattered throughout the observation floors, was interesting to walk around and just enjoy the view-they dont rush you at all, you can stroll around at your leisure. Requires a good deal of walking so be prepared for that, other than that this is a night touristy spot to check out. read more

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

This should be a MUST experience if you are visiting the city of Toronto. The views from the different levels are absolutely breathtaking and really gives you an idea of just how large the greater Toronto area is. You get the best views of the skyscrapers and tall condo buildings as well as the surrounding areas. On a clear day you can see across Lake Ontario and see Niagra and Rochester, NY. Also great views of the Blue Jays ballpark when the dome is open. The visit is a bit pricy, but really is a unique experience. Currently the CN tower is the 5th tallest building in the world and the highest in North America. Best times to avoid the crowds are right at opening (930 am) and later in the day around sunset (8-1030 pm). read more

Deeply disappointed by the speed at which they process people for ticket sales. This is the kind of thing that a machine could easily do and still they pay people to serve as cashiers. But they offer an $89 "special" to skip the lines and get to the front of the elevator queues. So if the lines sped up, the $89 ticket option would lose its cachet. Even the regular price is inflated. $35 to go up an elevator? 1. Two elevators available to go up and down but only one was taking people. 2.
