This is a must-see if you're in Toronto! I thought it was totally worth the money. The group I was with did purchase access to the Skypod. i'm not going to lie, I did not even know what the CN tower was before arriving in Canada for the long weekend I was here. I learned so much by doing this tour and seeing downtown Toronto. I fell in love with the city seeing it from this tower. The only thing that was disappointing is that the elevators only hold sixteen passengers. This creates lines which thankfully we didn't have to wait in. It was an awesome learning experience and I recommend it to anyone visiting Toronto! read more

It's one of those TO things you 'have to do' but be prepared for lines, wind (on the glass floor level) & a pretty bill (it's about 35$/person, 25$/senior). But the view is definitely worth it! Would recommend going into the restaurant for a bite, as it does have some of the cities best views! read more

Ok experience. Not worth the money. Long lines. Crammed elevators. Not my idea of a good time. More impressive looking at it from outside!

I was expecting a tourist trap, but was pleasantly suprised with the dinner service. Great waiter (Balu), very nice and entertaining. Dinner was delicious and view, well, of course... Unmatched. read more

What can be said that the other 400 reviewer haven't. Go earlier on a clear day and enjoy your visit

I visited this years ago. I remembered that it was similar to other high structures that I've visited with the exception of the glass floor. Everything was so small through the glass that I thought was cute. It was tough glass so I hopped around on it for a little bit. It's definitely worth at least a visit for tourists. read more

We went on Good Friday which is an official holiday here. The parking next door to the south was open ($9 for the day if I remember). There was no line in the morning though I think this is unusual. Yes it is expensive but hard to miss this experience. The elevator is fast and dizzy-ing. The tower is clean and updated with clean bathrooms as you would expect in Toronto. The glass floor is not to be missed. read more

Amazing view! Not too much more to do up there then 2 floors of scenery... I think its worth it if u get the city pass.

First time being up the CN Tower. Love the view all around the city. Specially looking right out at the harbour and you can see Toronto Islands and all the sail boats. It nest looking down to bottom of tower of the glass floor. On the bottom of the tower there so much to do. The Roger Center next door that you can watch a Blue Jays game. Across the street is old railroad museum and also a brewery make there own beer. read more

Went to the CN Tower in July. The view was beautiful but the lines to go up and then come down with small children (my niece and nephew) was unbearable. The restaurant was disappointing... it wasn't as fancy as they made it out to be and the wait was over 40 minutes long. The CN Tower was not the highlight of our Canada trip. read more

Everything we expected it to be. The Tower, the glass floor, the views, the SkyPod - all recommended. SkyPod was the longest line, so be prepared to wait, as it's only 8 or so people at a time, and the same person checking tix takes you up and brings you down, so it's at least an extra 30-45 minutes. Canadians are just nicer in general, so saying the staff was really nice is a bit redundant, but they were all professional, courteous, and engaged. Certainly better than folks at the Eiffel Tower or in any of my hometown D.C. museums. read more

We ate at the restaurant, 360, and I would recommend it. You don't have to pay for the trip to the observation deck and while you eat the restaurant rotates. Food was good, service excellent and then you can go down to the observation decks. read more

Mhmm, am I about to crap on a historic landmark? Well, in this internet frontier where I exercise my freedom of speech, I believe everything is deserving of a fair review, be it flattering or negative. On with the show... First off, I'd like to say that I've been Canada before my experience on the CN Tower. I've seen Quebec and yes, I loved it. I went to Montreal and felt at peace in the bustle and movement of the city. But by the time I had been to Toronto, I had already been to several cities throughout the world. I had seen Berlin, Paris, Rome, Venice, London, Prague, Dresden, Boston...the list goes on. Did I expect Toronto to be anything like any of these places? No not at all. I come from the biggest city in the world, I was not expecting another New York. I was hoping that Toronto would offer me a different kind of flavor than what I was use to. Beyond Yonge Street, I was bored, dare I say it, indifferent. Until I went to the Tower. The CN Tower is located right next to the Rogers Center (Does Rogers own all of Canada?) and upon visiting it, is an overwhelming sight to behold. Be that as it may, by this point I had already been to another tourist site similar to this one, The Fernsehturm Berlin Tower, built by the Soviet Union between 1965 and 1969. The CN Tower came 10 years later, in 1979. Both are similar in structure and function (both serve as radio transmitters/communicators for television and radio networks) and both have a restaurant that spins and gives you a 360 view. However, the difference is the way both tourist sites are managed. On the day I arrived at the CN Tower, it was a pretty active weekend. The lines, to put it shortly, were chaos. My family did the smart thing and we purchased the tickets from a tour bus company that gave us a discount. We hopped off the bus at the docks and headed for the tower. Regardless of the discount, the lines to the elevator were all over the place; people were constantly pushing, others were cutting in line, there was one family of over 20 and that seemed to not know the meaning of "excuse me" (And astonishingly, they complained until they got their own elevator). One woman shoved a child to get ahead and practically knocked over an infant. Regardless of these incidences, there didn't seem to be enough Security to hold people back and calm down the crowd. Most of the kids in charge that day (donning red blouses and black pants) seemed clueless themselves. At one point, there was a girl who was putting people on the wrong lines that instead headed for the elevators, headed for the restaurant. She didn't know what she was doing until she asked two other employees with red shirts what the other line was for. Never mind the fact that there was a large sign that said "Make line for 360 Restaurant". And that seemed to be another thing. Around the time I went to Berlin, there never seemed to be additional charges for any other level in the Fernsehturn Tower. One ticket covered just about everything. But here in the CN Tower, the Sky Dome was an Additional 9.50. Same with the Restaurant. On top of this, you had to go back down practically 1025 feet below to be able to get on the line for the Restaurant. So on top of all the waiting we just did to get on the Elevator, we would have to do more. And by the time we were done waiting, we were so tired we didn't even care to see the sight above anymore. The view up on top isn't anything spectacular, however the Lake Harbor (Toronto's best Feature) was nice to look at. After giving up on the line for the Sky Dome, we went downstairs to the Glass floor. Oh man. Picture yourself walking on a floor that gives you a clear view of the height below you, if you haven't been here before. Nothing is left to the imagination and if you didn't know that this glass was strong and durable enough to hold approximately 15 Hippos, you would be terrified for your life, especially if you're of a considerably heavy height or size. This would be every Acrophobic's worst nightmare. I had to hand it to them, it was surreal and unique. I walked along it and snapped a couple photos, but I sure felt foolish being petrified while children skipped, jumped and laid upon it like nothing. Truly I was disappointed with how overpriced everything was but I was able to say I had gone to the CN Tower and walked along the see through glass before I died. I realized on our way out that I had seen an insane amount of stores and restaurants and shops. Something seemed strange about this place, as if it were more Americanized than any other landmark that I had been to. And it was then that I realized it, I knew what I DIDN'T like about it: it didn't feel Canadian at all, it felt, it felt....commercialized. I asked a friend why this was and her response was "Well, people don't come to Toronto for anything else. This is pretty much the place you HAVE to see when you come here". Well no wonder read more

5 stars for a glass floor which will give you the heebie jeebies the first time you walk on it, and super comfy couches in the cafe which we slept on for an hour, before heading out again. Saved us a trip to the hotel room for a nap! read more

Must see as in any city with such an attraction, especially on a beautiful day. Not worth the extra $10 to go up in the highest Skypod The view is not substantially different, certainly not $10 different! Also, the Himalamazon motion ride is not one of the better ones. Not particularly robust. read more

Walking on the glass floor was a bit scarry but fun, awesome views at 360 degrees of Toronto. A must to visit!

Must come when in Toronto. However, it's a one time thing. I wouldn't come back unless I visit the area in another 10-15 years. I came on a clear day so I could see for miles. Long lines though. I did the general plus added the skypod experience. read more

Totally recommended. I will recommend to buy the tickets online (at least 24h before) to take the 20% off! Skypod (12$) was not worth it. With the general admission it is enough! Great views! read more

Not worth the money. If you've seen one high view, you've seen them all. The glass floor on the top is a small patch where you have to wait your turn to stand on what's like a small windows looking down to the ground. The view from the top shows you all of Toronto - the top of many buildings, some bodies of water but nothing "amazing" in my opinion. read more

Outstanding view. Very expensive. Too much actually. We were there in late March and you could almost see to Niagara. The nice part was we were not rushed. I could see that it could be chaotic though in crowds. Some idiot jumped hard on the glass floor causing a giant boom and terrified my 9 year old, so we moved to a different spot after that. Security should have removed him but they didn't. Nice Canadiens. He would have been hauled out if it was the USA :) read more

Going at sunset lets you see the city in some daylight and then as the lights come up, so you get the best of both views. We opted for the extra ride up to the skypod that sits atop the concrete, which is at extra cost. There's also a glass floor on one level that lets you see how high up you are when you look down. Most of the time is unfortunately spent waiting on lines for elevators. However, if you're there only once, you kind of have to do it. read more

Have some of Canada's finest - you know the green stuff they legalized - and come up here for a view. Fun.

Saw a great view of Lake Ontario and the City of Toronto, at all angles. My friend and I had our picture taken on the glass floor.

If you want to visit the CN Tower, the best value option is to choose to eat at the restaurant there and get the trip up for free. Although the elevator is quite fast, there is usually a long line for this attraction. It is best to bring your family there early when the line is shorter. There is quite a few hotdog stands by the tower for a cheaper meal option (hotdots- $2, jumbo dog $3). The view is breathtaking and it is highly recommended that you visit this attraction if you go to Toronto. read more

This was the first tourist attraction that we hit up on our Toronto trip, and was a great way to get to know the city a little better. The panoramic view from the top was quite lovely on a sunny morning, especially the city skyline and glistening water of Lake Ontario. The glass floor was also cool, gives you a sense of the height and the unnerving feeling of being 1,122 feet up with nothing but glass between you and the world below. There was also a fun ride which came included in the CityPass which was an environmental-themes roller coaster simulator. Fun times here, good start to a tour of Toronto since you get to see the buildings and landmarks from above read more

Excellent views of the city. My only complaint was with the organization of the queue areas. It was often unclear where we needed to stand to do what, and several times, others who were behind us ended up going ahead of us in lines (getting thru security and coming down from SkyPod). We chose the observation + SkyPod. The SkyPod was nice, but didn't really add much, other than feeling higher than before. It's kinda grungy up there. But the main level and the glass floor were the true sights to see. read more

Bit expensive admission price and long lines. The views were great and I thought it was amazing to have the glass floor, it felt bit scary at first..Can someone clean that glass floor with all that money they charge for admission and parking. read more

Staff seems to be very friendly and can answer questions and direct you where you need to go. The view is spectacular. If you're going to go to the CN Tower, go jut before it starts getting dark out, because then you can see the difference from day to night when all the lights come on! read more

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

See all

A must see when you come to Toronto. I love this place. Go onto the glass floor and look down. It's pretty cool. My family loves it here!

Amazing views! Totally worth every penny spent for admission. Not gonna lie, the glass floor kinda freaked me out but I stepped out on it anyways. I could have spent the whole day up there but there was so much more of the city to see! read more

The main point of why I didn't like this place is because I thought it was over priced. I think its worth closer to $10 or so. The elevator ride is cool because you go up so fast and theres a glass floor, but remember to pop your ears. The glass floor and observation deck are cool. All in all, I would rather go to the restaurant as it is the same thing. Probably would not go again. read more

The wait times are way too long. Once you get to the top the wait is even worse. Complete chaos with no clear queue structure and lack of personnel to help coordinate flow of people. Would recommend avoiding this attraction unless you're the first elevator up. read more

An awful lack of signs and lines that snake seemingly forever, with a view that's fine but definitely not worth the wait even with a City Pass. read more

A must-do in Toronto! It's expensive but you can spend as much time as you like. A gorgeous view, all the way around.

Amazing view! I went around 5 pm (I waited for it to get dark), and I only had to wait for about 15 minutes. I decided not to go to the Skypod, because general admission was already quite expensive ($39). The city looked beautiful from the "Lookout", but the glass floor was extremely disappointing. I decided to have dinner at the "Horizons". Food was okay, nothing special compared to the view though. I expected it to be very is expensive but it wasn't really, so I guess that's a good thing. Definitely a must-do when you visit Toronto, but apart from the view, don't expect too much! read more

Great views! Reasonably priced based on comparable places like Empire State Building. Call ahead to make sure there is a visibility. Must see in Toronto! Elevator ride views of the city. read more

I might be a little biased here as I've been to the new Freedom Tower which is of course a lot newer, but it was basically just a skyscraper with a great 360 degree view of Toronto. The one thing I did really like was the glass floor (something that absolutely should have been done in the Freedom Tower but shockingly was not). Still, I would definitely recommend this. And if you're brave enough to do the Skywalk, I would also recommend that! Sounds like an awesome experience! A visit here is a must as it is definitely Toronto's most iconic landmark. read more

Excellent food, outstanding service, one in a million views. What more could you want when you visit a restaurant. If you're planning to go up the CN Tower and go for a meal somewhere afterward, then I highly recommend you combine the two and eat up at the top of the Tower. As long as everyone orders an entree their ticket to the top is free. First there's the breath taking journey to the top, 58 seconds to climb almost 300 meters. And then of course there's the revolving floor. Perhaps a little disconcerting at first - the bathrooms pass you every 45 minutes, and when you come out your table isn't where you remember it to be, it's a wonderful way to get a complete panoramic view of the city of Toronto. From planes taking off at the down town airport, to boats coming into harbour and the lights of the skyline, it really is a fantastic view to enjoy over dinner. Oh, and the food is also spectacular! read more

If you have limited time in Toronto, I would skip CN Tower. Once you get to the top, the view is great and you can take lots of pictures. But the line is long and it's expensive ($35pp). There are so many other interesting things you can do with your time than wait in line and there are tons of free things to do. Value for money is the worst. The art museum, history museum are worth the $$. This is not. read more

Amazing views. Buy tickets online to avoid the line, however you will have to wait in line afterwards to get on the elevators. Kids (ages 11 & 14) had a great time, as did my husband. read more
