Ok so going on the walk in the winter is subject to many variables, such as ice and wind conditions. Thusly, my initial walk was rebooted from my birthday to a few days later, which happened to be one of the last of the season. The client services were proactive in their outreach and also contacted me on the day of the reschedule to confirm that it was a 'go.' So I finally did it, and it's really not for the faint at heart! If you want to overcome you fear of heights this is probably the closest to 'cold turkey' as you are going to get. The team from the orientation and sizing of the suits to the walk leader Stephen were to best in class. They are supportive and amiable, not to mention patient. They know your names, relative skill and fear level within 30 seconds more or less. They ensure your safety and comfort in a friendly and amicable manner. The views of T. At night are the most pectacular I've ever seen, and hanging several 100 feet off the ground was well worth the $195 plus tax. Don't forget you also get a ticket for the elevator and Skype, witha coffee or hot chocolate which we used right after. That alone is worth an additional $55. We also received a complimentary CN Tower toque. Thanks guys for a great start to 2022! -Zuk read more

I loved this experience so much that I could not find another experience to give me the same rush. This was my first time trying anything like this. I went up by myself while my guest waited below. I will say everything is VERY WELL EXPLAINED. You feel extremely safe and are secured by two harnesses. I love how to the tour guides take the time to learn everyone's names. While you're on the edge, the tour guides point out landmarks and explain some history. The guides pose you for individual and group photos. This was very exciting for me, but I wouldn't do it again just because I don't need to. If a friend was paying for my second trip I'd definitely do it though! read more

Omg what an amazing and thrilling experience! Seriously will blow your mind away. I am actually not too bad with heights but shit this pushed my limits man!

I've done two tandem skydives in Georgia, been on the Grand Canyon Skywalk & the Skydeck in Chicago. There's no way I was visiting Toronto without doing this. The Edge Walk is done at the CN Tower in downtown Toronto. No matter where you go in the city, you'll see that tower beckoning & taunting you. It's been doing that since 1976, though the Edge Walk attraction began in 2011. It stands 1,815 feet high, is the tallest tower in the western hemisphere & the 3rd tallest tower in the world. The Edge Walk itself is done on a ledge at 1,168 feet. I tried to make reservations before I arrived in Canada but they wouldn't let me use an American debit card to do it. But you can pay using your debit card in person at the tower & you can pay using credit cards anytime. I signed up for the 8am slot on Labor Day & it cost me $206.07 USD. I had been to the tower a couple of days before my scheduled walk. From street level, I looked straight up at it. It was so intimidating that I said to myself, "Do I really want to do this?" The answer was yes but I did think about it every time I saw the tower. Standing below it, I couldn't even get the whole thing in the picture with the camera I was using. . I arrived at 7:40am for my 8am walk. First security makes you empty your pockets & go through a metal detector. Then a young blonde escorted me to the area where I put on my jumpsuit. You're required to empty your pockets & store everything in a locker. This includes wallets, watches, cellphone, jewelry, change, keys, etc. If you wear glasses/shades they will attach something to the handles of it so they won't fall off. If you choose to wear glasses or gloves, you aren't permitted to take them off at any time on the ledge. You can't have any gum or candy in your mouth on the ledge either. You're given a breathalyzer test to make sure you aren't under the influence. They also check & make sure your shoes are tight enough so they won't slip off. I was given a red jumpsuit to wear. It felt tight because you wear it over the clothes you already have on. I also thought it was a size too small. I didn't complain but it made me look like I was wearing high-water pants and with the clothes I had on underneath it gave the appearance of extra inches along my waistline. That harness though! You slide your legs in & they tighten it for you. It's as snug as what I wore skydiving. Without being too graphic let's just say I felt "tucked under." They check the harness several times to make sure it's secure. Then I was introduced to my videographer. She was a raven haired cutie with big, dark eyes & an outgoing personality. She looked like the athletic girl next door & her muscular legs were just bulging beneath the yoga pants she had on. My goodness she was hot! And here I was trying to act normal with my junk tucked underneath me & wearing a tight harness. The elevator that takes you up to the ledge moves fast but still takes 58 seconds to get up there. The bottom of it has a couple of glass slots so you can look straight down & you can also look straight ahead and see the Toronto skyline as you rise up. She asked me questions & seemed to be trying to gauge whether I had a fear of heights as we went up. She asked if I'd done anything with heights like skydive, etc. She asked how I felt looking thru the glass slots as we distanced ourselves higher from the ground & told me that when we first get up there it's going to be quite windy. After we got off the elevator, a guy attached my harness to a thick black rope & yellow one then checked it several times. Then the raven haired cutie and I walked out on the ledge. Since I was the only one who signed up for the 8am slot, I felt like I was being given VIP treatment. As she stated it was windy on the ledge at first & as the wind hit the metal up there you could hear a ringing sound. We walked some as she told me about the CN Tower and made it to a spot that wasn't windy. Then she asked, "Are you ready to try some activities?" Translation: Your ass is about to be leaning over the edge. First she walked me to the very edge, told me to let my toes hang over it & look down as she pointed out several landmarks. After that she got me to do a pose where I'm leaning forward (which was the hardest one to me). Then she got me to squat & slowly back up to the edge. She asked me to straighten my legs. When I stood I was leaning backwards with only my feet touching the platform. Then I did it without holding the rope. This was my favorite pose! We were up there over 20 min & walked the complete circumference of the ledge. Every stunt I did she did first to show me how it's done. After awhile I was completely comfortable out there. After it was over they gave me 2 photos in a case, a cd & a certificate declaring me an Edgewalker. For $25 I got a drive with pictures of the walk on it. I left knowing my Toronto vacation was complete. read more

I was completely satisfied with my experience at the EdgeWalk. I came with my brother after wanting to try it since it opened. The day we came was a beautiful day, but there were lots of clouds. It turned out that when we were walking on the edge that it was all white underneath. It literally felt like we were walking on the clouds. I think that helped my nerves b/c I couldn't see the bottom. We saw our shadows in the clouds, a rainbow in the clouds and a plane come out from the clouds. The only thing that sucked was that we didn't see the ground - but the staff don't have control over that! All of the staff were great and helpful. Our guide in particular was very enthusiastic. I felt completely safe the entire time. At the end we received a certificate, 2 printed photos and a DVD. Because the weather wasn't awesome they gave us all of the photos that were taken on the DVD as well. The only thing I wish they did was let us pick the 2 photos that were printed (especially if they weren't going to give us the rest). Some people say that it's a lot of money, but considering what you're doing and what you get, I don't think it's that bad. $200 for the 2 hrs, which includes 30 mins outside walking and doing activities, the photos and the DVD. I would have thought that this would be a one time thing, but that couldn't be further from the truth. I 100% would go back in different weather conditions, as it would make the experience completely different. read more

Edge Walk - Challenge Courses Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I have wanted to do this since moving from Vancouver to Toronto last September, but I wasn't able to find anyone else who would go with me! Given that the cost is quite high ($250 with tax) I can understand not everyone wants to shell out that kind of money. But the most common reaction I got was, "Are you nuts? No way!" So I resigned myself to the fact I may end up doing this alone someday. Last week, a friend from Vancouver was visiting Toronto and she suggested we do the Edge Walk. Of course, I agreed. Initially, I wasn't sure about spending that much, but to me, this is likely going to be a one-time experience, so why not?! We checked the weather report and chose the day that looked to be the best (sunny!) but after we bought our tickets, the weather kept changing. There were thunderstorms with lightning happening on the days leading up to our walk, and I was getting nervous that we'd be struck by lightning and turned into human bacon. Ok, not really, but I was concerned about it being rainy and overcast. Well, I guess the Gods were smiling down on us that day, because it cleared up and it turned out to be a gorgeous day. Our walk time was 5:30pm and I ended up getting there a couple of minutes late so I was already a bit flustered when I arrived. The process is very thorough when it comes to safety. The very first thing that happens once you've filled out your forms and signed the waiver, is they give you a breathalyzer to make sure you're not under the influence of alcohol or drugs. They explain a few things, tell you to remove all jewelry (including your watch) and then scan you for guns and bombs. (Probably not guns and bombs, but they scan you for stuff you shouldn't take with you) We suited up and got checked about 100 times to ensure our shoes wouldn't slip off and our harnesses were tight. I can tell you right now, I'm super glad I wasn't a dude right then and there, because that harness was TIGHT in the crotch area. Holy doodle. We were all walking pretty funny, let me tell you. The actual walk was way more nerve wracking than I expected. I'm pretty adventurous, but my stomach did a few flip-flops when we put our toes over the edge and leaned forward!! Yikes! Glad I went to the bathroom before going out there, cause otherwise I might've peed a little. lol Our guide had us do several poses for photos, some super cheesy, but for some reason, we all did it (thumbs up, "home alone" face, etc.) I think my only regret is that I didn't strike a better pose for my photos, because I look super dorky. Oh well. If anyone is considering the walk, I highly recommend it. If the weather is great, you'll probably want your sunglasses on. I wore mine, but my friend didn't, and she wishes that she had. It was pretty windy up there, so my eyes were watering a bit, even with the sunglasses on. You get a certificate at the end, as well as a DVD of the experience and a photo in a commemorative folder. You can also buy a USB flash drive ($25) with all the photos. It's weird, because you get the photos of everyone in your group as well, even the people you don't know. In any case, I'm really glad I did it. Maybe one day, I might do it again. read more

So you're not afraid of heights eh? This extreme experience will definitely test your mettle--it's one thing to hang out on a 5 ft wide ledge, 1,1100+ ft above Toronto and enjoy the gorgeous view in all directions. No problemo, right? But just wait until the "games" begin, and it's your turn to stick your toes over the edge or lean backwards and trust your harness to hold you as you lie back straight over Blue Jays stadium. Amazing yet definitely an enhanced mental challenge. Highly recommend the sunset time slot, as you get to see the whole spectacular panorama at dusk and then all the twinkling lights at night. Glad my friend and I did it during August, as I imagine it would be pretty chilly at most other times of the year. There was a Jays home game in progress at the time, and you could hear the crack of the bat and roar of the crowd from above--stupendous! Very safe and kind guides and plenty of time spent up high for the money make this a very worthwhile bucket list experience! read more

The Edgewalk is something that I recommend everyone do! You cannot find this activity anywhere else in the world!!! Hanging over the CN Tower at 116 floors up is the most thrilling feeling! The staff here was absolutely wonderful. The experience takes about 90 minutes, with 30 minutes preparing, and 30 minutes doing the hands-free walk. I'm not sure what we did with the remaining time of the 90 minutes, but I know we spent some time waiting for our photos and DVDs to be made. The experience costs $175. I was able to find a $10 discount code so we actually got it a little cheaper. With the experience, you get the hands-free walk, a photo, a certificate, a DVD of the experience, and the memories! If you want a USB of the photos that were taken during the walk, that is an additional $22. The cost is expensive, but I thought the experience was priceless. I would not do it again though. Once is enough. =) The staff made us feel very safe. They tested us multiple times for drugs and alcohol. The safety precautions was much more strict than the airport! They also checked our harnesses over and over and over and also made sure our shoes were tied tight enough (mine were not and she pulled them right off--oops!). They offer shoes if you forgot to pack some during your trip. They also offer extra coverage (a jacket) if you forgot to pack warm clothes. The weather for us was windy but not too cool. I was very comfortable with the experience from start to finish. Of course, we had to sign a waiver agreeing not to sue the company if we died. Thankfully, no one has fallen off or died from this experience. That was comforting to know. I highly recommend doing this. We booked our tickets the day before because we were not sure how the weather was. I suggest checking the weather at least a few days in advance. As the day we wanted to do this got closer, the tickets were getting sold out. Make sure to check the website periodically so you know when you need to pull the trigger to purchase your tickets. The tickets are all will-call so there is no need to worry about having them mailed to you. You will need to check into an area that is past the CN Tower store, so make sure you do not get into the regular general ticket purchase line. The instructions on where to pick up the tickets for this event was not very clear to us. The staff is helpful so you can ask anyone that works there where to go. The Edgewalk ticket also allows you admission to the observatory, a movie experience, and a simulated ride experience. Unfortunately the movie has nothing to do with how the CN tower was created--it was about Boeing and airplanes. Your ticket is good for up to two days after you've done the experience so you dont have to feel rushed to use your ticket on the same day to visit all the other things your ticket gives access to. read more

This is one of the coolest things you can do. It's well worth the $200 for the experience of a life time. I've read 2 negative reviews and I know everyone's entitled to their opinion even if the opinion is ignorant and complete bs. When you're up there you can see for kilometers. I went for my 30 birthday and the weather was perfect. You can lean out forward and backwards, you can walk the edge and on the last part you can just hang out and relax. The platform is about the size of the a sidewalk and you're attached to 2 harnesses. From the ground floor to the too is very fast and leaves no time to back out. For an added bonus when you're done go jump on the glass floor and watch everyone clear off like it's lava. ;) Bottom line if you've got the guts go for it. Yeah it's $200 but an awesome memory and a crazy feeling can't have price put on them. (Unless you're a cynical a$$hole) read more

You have to pay for a USB key with photos on it. After dropping $200.00 a person, that's ridiculous. It's cheap. It's money grubbing. It's insulting. Everything else is fantastic. If you have the means, I highly recommend the experience. read more

Before i registered for the edge walk, i asked myself whether it was good value for money-seeing as an airflight to the Bahamas was the same price.Turns out it was the worst decision ever-dont do it unless you have extra money to waste First, its over priced for what it is.You walk round the CN tower in a hurried kinda of way which in total takes around 20 mins-when it should last at least 35 mins up there.This experience should be max $150 but i ended up paying almost $300 because they jack up the price by adding your photos and video(which should be part of the price in the first place) The videos are a JOKE.They give you only a snippet lasting 9 minutes and good luck to you if you dont get the worst moments.Its just luck what they send your way The shoes they gave me were terrible and did not fit.Had problems walking in oversized shoes The pants were ill fitting and when i asked for a larger size-they refused and just said what I had was OK -which then led me to walking with ill fitting pants for at least 20 mins All in all-i regretted my decisions-dont fall for the Money pit-go skydiving or bungee jumping if you are seeking a thrill read more

What an AMAZING experience. Seeing pictures and actually being there are 2 completely different experiences. It is UNREAL! You should get there about 20 minutes before your start time. The workers will walk you through everything you can and cant wear- basically any accessory that makes you look pretty is not allowed. I had to get rid of my earrings, rings, nevcklaces, bobby pins....thank god i didn't tell them i had my clip on hair- i wasn't taking that off for ANYONE. Anywho- once up there. Romina (lil bird) made us feel super comfortable and was encouraging towards the more scAred people. She walked us Around the whole circle while at the same time pointing out historic buildings, niagara falls, east/west sides of Toronto. Very cool tour and TOTALLY worth the money. Walking out was SUPER nerve wracking but they seem to take VERY GOOD precautions, so within the first 5 mins I felt like i lived up there. My tour was at 6pm which allowed us to see the sunset, it was absolutely gorgeous. Thanks Romina, Justin, and the 2 people (guy/girl) that helped us put on our equipment! :-) read more

June 29, 2015 Edge Walk is one of the things you should try when you come to Toronto. I've lived in Toronto for over six years and I still considered the CN Tower's Edge Walk as an item on my bucket list. You won't regret it! Walking around the edge of the CN Tower's restaurant roof and hanging yourself 1,168ft above the ground or 116 building storeys! Any idea how I felt? My heart was beating very fast even before the journey began! I waited to do it for a long time, and finally my husband and I decided to do it on our wedding anniversary. Many people had the same idea! There was a couple in our group that came for their honey moon! So sweetie pie! My both hands were cold and wet. Ya! I was very scared in the beginning. It took a while to get used to the height. Talking was very helpful. Our guide was nice and friendly. He eventually made me feel more comfortable and I didn't want the walk to end. It was so much fun! I wish the walk could be extended up to an hour so we could have more time to enjoy ourselves hanging out on the Tower with the fascinating scenery of Toronto! Their staff were knowledgeable and funny. It was a part that made this journey memorable. If you want to experience one great thing in your life time like CN Tower's Edge Walk, GO for it! Very short moment can be remembered all of your life. Keep in mind that you should check the weather ahead of time before you book the walk. Wear comfortable clothes and tight shoes. Make sure that your shoes are not gonna fall off and land on people on the ground :D. Keep your jewelry at home and tie your hair if you have long hair. Then you can start your journey without worrying about your stuff and safety. There are 6 people in a group, excluding the guide. Everyone get s attached to an overhead safety rail thru a trolley and harness system. It felt very annoying to me when I walked, especially the harness line behind my head! By the way, I realized that it was the only thing that can keep me from falling! haha.. A ticket for the walk is $195.00. It included 1 individual photo and 1 group photo, a DVD of the walk, and access to the LookOut Glass Floor, SkyPod and attractions. If you'd like to have all of the pictures that were taken, it's an additional $25 for a USB. Then, you can enjoy the moment again and again! PS. It was an exciting experience but not thrilling as zip lining over the Canyon or Rafting on the White Water River. If you're a sky diver, I'm sure that is more stunning. Anyway, it was worth every penny and I would recommend it! read more

Edge Walk - Once in life! Beautiful! - Challenge Courses Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Must do while in toronto. Double safety harnesses rated for tons so you are totally safe. Great adventure. They give safety training, assist you with with the gear and are fun people. No loose objects on the deck so don't think you are taking pictures, as they take video and photos of you and most are included in price. Purses and bags have to be put in lockers (provided) and just have a great time. Kudos to the organizer who let me rebook after I missed my appointed time (family emergency). They called me to make sure I was ok and rebooked me for free...love the customer service ! read more

I've lived in Toronto for almost all of my life, and never have I been more excited to try anything in the city. I came here with some friends and my boyfriend, who had been visiting from British Columbia, Arizona, and California, respectively. At a cost of $195.00 + 13% HST, you get to participate in the highest external building walk in the world. Included in your post-experience package is a video DVD of your experience (taped as you walk), 2 professional photographs (1 individual picture, and 1 as a group), and last but not least, a certificate of your participant number that indicates that you have become part of the Guiness Book of World Records. After your walk, you can use those same tickets to get an express pass to go up the CN tower, see the glass floor and use the skypod (yes - you can bypass those ridiculously long lines that you see going INTO the CN tower). Like many other reviews prior to mine have stated - yes, there are a TON of safety checks leading up to your walk that can be really exhaustive; but hey, better safe than sorry, right? Please note that they will also ask you to perform a breathalyzer test before suiting up - so don't drink too much. My friends and I actually had a drink with lunch right before, not knowing we'd be asked to perform one. Thank god, no one took it upon themselves to drink themselves silly. Other safety tips...make sure you don't wear any jewelry of any kind - you're required to take them off. Also, if you walk with too much luggage, there are also lockers where you can lock your things away. You do not need your own locks - they are provided. We were taken up by a guide named Jenny. She was extremely animated, and really fun to be around. She took us through different types of tricks before actually walking the perimeter of the tower. My only regret or form of criticism, was that the walk would have been a little more exciting if we were able to lean back off the edge AND walk at the same time, rather than only being taught to lean back. I understand that this is a little more dangerous, but would have been exciting for more thrill-seeking individuals. I highly encourage participants to spend the $20-25.00 to get the full USB of all photos from the experience. We actually got some great shots, and photo quality was great. read more

So whoa! I have skydived, and I have been scuba diving with sharks - this will certainly test you! What made it EVEN better was going with the lovely KATIE PEPPERS! CN Tower management, if you are listening, I have been a tour guide and a travel agent, and she is the REAL DEAL! Katie was AWESOME, and she even put up with my Titanic shenanigans and Irish dance! If you go, you simply MUST ask for her! If I was headed to my doom on that tower, I would want that angel by my side ;) Give that AMAZING woman a raise....she was half the fun! Anyway, DO IT! The video was hilarious and worth it, along with the photos - especially if you are looking for people to question your sanity EVEN MORE! read more

Edge Walk - You're literally on the EGDE! (But you don't actually walk on the edge the whole time) - Challenge Courses Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I always enjoy a little adventure, so this was the perfect activity. For CAD $225 (US $179.45), you get to walk around the edge of the CN tower for about 45 minutes. I thought it was a little expensive, but the exchange rates made it just a little better. (woohoo US currency...) If you wanna bring your GoPro and take some Instagram worthy photos, be ready to count on your tour guide to be your designated IG photographer. And yes, it's another CAD $25 to get all your photos from the experience on a USB stick. If you don't pay the $25, it's just a print of you at the edge and a group shot of you and the other people in your group plus a DVD with a video of the highlights in the 45 minutes. As for teenagers, the requirement is at least 13 years old. My guide's name was Colin. He was a cool guy. Except I feel like he has done so many edge walk tours, he needs to boost his enthusiasm a little more instead of sounding like a happy recording tape. Overall, this was a fun experience and I would go back sometime in the winter just to see what Toronto looks like during that season. read more

I had the BEST time here and plan on doing it again the next time I'm in the area. I am NOT a daredevil. Although others can't tell it (I hide it well), I get a little bit nervous doing even low-risk activities (such as bike riding or skating). I'm also clumsy and uncoordinated and don't trust my ability to control my own body enough to feel comfortable doing anything dare-devilish. So, to sum it up: I'm a klutzy chicken and definitely not a daredevil! But here's the thing about me: I REALLY like new and unique experiences -- so much so that, despite being a klutzy chicken, I have gone skydiving, zip-lining, scuba-diving, rappelling, mountain climbing, cliff jumping, spelunking, etc. before. And, although I'm usually glad to experience every new thing that I have tried, there's only a few experiences in which I said to myself "I HAVE TO do that again." Usually, it's the experience that people don't find frightening -- like skiing or scuba diving. Yet I want to do the Edgewalk again -- despite others seeing it frightening. When I posted the pic of me (that I'll also post here) during my Edgewalk on Facebook, I got a lot of "Nope!" and "Na uh! That's crazy!" comments. So bonus points for getting a bunch of street cred on Facebook! But here's the thing, everything is done so professionally and carefully, that everyone is eased into the activity and it's not as scary as it looks. Was I nervous? Heck ya! We were 1,168 feet above ground and my legs felt like gelatin. The entire time I was out there, I thought "if someone lost control of their legs and ended up just swinging from the rope, it'd be my dumb butt!" But then again, the staff (especially our guide, Justin), does a crazy good job at doing what they can to make you feel comfortable so it wasn't AS scary as you'd think it'd be. The people that work there REALLY take safety seriously and act in a professional manner so I couldn't help but to feel that I was in good hands. I think my equipment was checked by at least 5 different people before I went out and some people checked it twice. Activities were done in careful increments and Justin correctly judged when someone needed a bit more encouragement or had enough. I have to admit that my confidence came in waves depending on how the wind blew (and I mean that literally: the windier it got, the more nervous I got and vice versa.). So, I now HAVE TO go back and redeem myself (although I did each activity, I just got REALLY tense at the end again and wish I allowed myself to relax and enjoy the experience more). Edge Walk gave us tickets to see the rest of the tower AND offered a half off discount if we did the Edge Walk a second time on the same day but I had to catch a plane and couldn't participate. They also gave us a cute picture souvenir thing-a-ma-jig for free and the opportunity to buy more pics at super cheap rates (I think I paid only $25 CAD to get the complete reel on a USB flash drive). I was lucky enough to go with a great group of people: one from Sweden, a couple from the UK and so forth. Except for the Swedish guy (he had NO FEAR!) we were all a bit nervous but ALL of us LOVED the experience. I totally recommend trying this. There are not many places that offer this activity so it's a definite "must do"! read more

Edge Walk - 6/5/16: A must do! - Challenge Courses Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

The EdgeWalk opened on Aug 1 of this year. Hands down a MUST-DO (is that even a word?) Amazing view, and there is nothing quite like the thrill of adrenaline from looking down at the tiny tiny people below. We started off in a glass room where they first gave us a breathalyzer and swabbed us for explosive residue, no joke. Then we put on the suits and harnesses and went up a special elevator to the platform. The guide strapped us in and then took us outside, pointed out some landmarks, and walked us through a series of exercises -- walk to the edge, lean backwards, lean forwards. You get a certificate at the end with 2 pics and a CD. Pics and vid are included in the tour, as are all the other attractions of the CN Tower (skypod, Himalamazon motion ride). Also, the tickets are valid for entry for 3 days. Definitely worth it in my opinion. But be sure you're set on doing it, as there are no refunds. read more

If you have the opportunity...do this! My girlfriend and I did the edge walk on a recent trip to Toronto and the experience was well worth the price. After taxes it ended up being about $200 /person. There's a separate area in the lobby of the tower where you meet in groups of 6, reservations are a must. They give you some basic safety and instructions for the walk while giving you your jump suit and shoes. They also breathalyze everyone before the walk... luckily I only had 3 beers at the Blue Jays game beforehand. They do not allow you to wear any jewelry or carry anything at all in your pockets. Jewelery can be taped if it can't be removed. After taking a private elevator to the top we have our harnesses checked, for the 3rd time, by another member of the staff. You are then hooked to a trolley which you will be attached to for the entire 30 minute walk. Once outside the guide encourages you to lean forwards and backwards off the edge of the platform but they do not make anyone do something they're not comfortable doing.We went on a gorgeous, clear day and could see all the way to Niagara and Rochester. The first few steps out can be quite an adrenaline rush, especially as you approach the edge for the first time. The guide will also point out different landmarks and sites around the city as you stop at all 4 sides of the tower The guide was very friendly and informative, as were all the staff that I encountered at the Edge Walk. After the walk they gave us our video and pictures, which are part of the package, along with a USB stick, $15 extra, with all the picture files. So if you're thinking about trying this, just go for it, and don't chicken out! You won't regret it. It's one of the coolest things I've done in a long time and I'll never forget it. read more

I frequently travel to Toronto for work and I figured this was a unique enough experience to check out. The other reviewers have covered the experience itself well enough, so this review is more about the overall value. For ~$200, I was a little annoyed that they only give you 2 printed out photos and a DVD. Be honest, who are you going to force into watching you... walk... I mean, I don't like being forced to watch babies take their first steps. Though now that I think about it, perhaps I'll send this along to the next person that sends me one of those. If you want a CD of digital pictures for Facebook updates (because lets face it, half the reason we do things is to show them off to others), it's another $16.99. I think they could've at least given us the option of if we wanted the DVD or CD. If you're in Toronto, it's a good way to see the city and better than just taking an expensive elevator ride up the tower. The pass gives you access to the rest of the tower as well. Let's face it though, once you've walked around the outside, there's no real reason to do anything else. read more

GREAT EXPERIENCE! Thats me and my cousin on the default picture lol! Im such an adventure seeker so while i was visiting toronto my cousin told me about this place and I was very excited! we bought the tickets online and there was no turning back now! We were watching some edgewalk videos on youtube and wow it looked crazy! As we arrived at the CN Tower we checked in and we had to do orientation, and they put you in bright red jump suits and snug you really tight on the harnest. There was only 4 people in our group that went up. The group that went before us had a film crew with them and my cousin freaked and said "that guy is in Degrassi!" hahah. I did not recognize the guy because i only watched the old school degrassi when drake was still in it. OK back to the subject, you go up an elevator and go into another room where they attach you to cables. You walk out and WOW the view is sick!! The instructor has an ice breaker called "toes over Toronto" you literally let your toes go off the edge of the CN tower! After that you start the more thrilling stuff like leaning back on the edge and leaning forward. Its a crazy experience and i loved every second! It was the highlight of my trip! read more

An amazing experience you'll never forget. To be able to stand on the ledge of a Canadian landmark and once the tallest free standing structure in the world is simply amazing. Put your adult diapers on and go for it! Once in a lifetime experience! 100% safe!!!!! Tour guides are so polite and always make sure you are having fun and safe. On sunny days you can see all of the GTA and surroundings. It may be a bit pricey but it's definitely worth it considering everything is included (skypod, glass floor... Etc) read more

This was a FABULOUS experience and I would highly recommend it! The total time was about 90 mins, which is spent getting dressed and harnessed for the event to ensure safety, with 30 minutes spent outside. Our guide Josh was fantastic throughout the whole adventure! Not only did he explain the process to us in great detail, but he also acted like a Toronto tour guide in pointing out attractions in Toronto from high above. We were able to see across the lake to Niagara Falls, and on the other side to Mississauga. The weather and the view were absolutely amazing. We were allowed to walk along the platform which is approximately the width of a sidewalk, walk along the very edge of the CN Tower, and lean over the edge forwards and backwards. My only pet peeve is that after spending $200 on the event, which gets you the experience with a DVD of the event and 1 individual and 1 group photo, access to the SkyPod and Observation Deck and the CN Tower Ride, you have to pay an additional $25 for the complete set of photos on a USB. It would be nice to have include everything in one package. I understand that it's a once in a lifetime type opportunity, but the cost could be decreased. A great time overall and I'm glad I went! read more

Definitely worth the money for an incredible view and once in a lifetime experience. I actually went alone as my husband is afraid of heights. Luckily I went up with a really nice couple and we had a lot of fun together. Personally I think it would be hard to get a group together to do this because of the expensive price tag, but if you can do it in a group it would be a great bonding experience. You get a free video and two printed photos afterwards, but it's definitely worth it to pay the extra $20 for digital copies of all the photos that were taken during your experience. read more

Edgewalk at CN Tower was AWESOME. I have always been afraid of heights but this year, set out to face my fear(s). Our club, the Skyhiclub at danceScape, arranges "Bucket List" adventures. We ended up doing the CONGA LIne Dance at the top of CN Tower, so much fun! read more

One of a kind experience! Edge Walk is located at CN Tower. Buy your tickets at the base. It is price - around $200 - but if you have been flirting with sky diving, are an adrenaline junkie or just get hyped for new experiences then Edge Walk is for you! You sign a waiver, go through a basic instruction briefing and then head up over a thousand feet. You are connected the entire time to a cable as you walk outside the tower onto the platform and have a guide to lead you around the entire circumference of the disk. This is a pretty long event as you get to try to new feats and styles of hanging out and over the tower every few feet until you make the circuit. This event rocks!! read more

The best and most exhilarating view of Toronto. The panoramic view from the outside of the C.N. is beaitiful. You can see for miles and the canopy of trees, landscape, and also Lake Ontario is breathtaking. sunset walk was the best part of walk.i was in the high of 553.33 m(1,815.4 ft) ..It was been exciting walk read more

It's all good until they tell you to put your toes or heels on the edge, but the tour does it right by breaking you in little by little as you make your way around the tower. At the end, you will truly feel fearless as you proclaim that you're on top of the world! Ok, maybe that's what I felt like saying. Our tour guide was great! Definitely a unique way to see the city. I'm sure it's a very touristy thing to do, but heck, it was my first visit to Toronto! read more

AMAZING!! Definitely do Edge Walk when/if you're in Toronto. The view is wonderful, the guide/instructor was very nice and knowledgeable. Little pricey, $200. read more

What an amazing experience!! We did this on impulse and definitely do not regret it all, regardless of the excessive cost. The wait time was not significant, and though we went on Memorial Day weekend it wasn't as busy as you'd expect-but then again that's a US holiday, not Canadian, so that played in our favor. I'd suggest buying or booking tickets in advance, although we lucked out, if you're keen on doing this, better safe than sorry! The entire process puts your nerves at ease, they are very thorough, professional, diligent at checking and rechecking and then doing it all over again prior to bringing you up 117+ stories and taking you outside. This was a great adrenaline rush, a superb view, a fantastic time and a very very unique experience. Would highly recommend it to anyone that loves an adventure and isnt scared of heights! read more

Edge Walk - Challenge Courses Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This has been a part of my bucket list for a while now. When I finally got the chance to go to Toronto, this was a must-do for me. Costing around $225 USD, it is pretty pricy. But for something this unique and thrilling as this, it was worth every dollar. I suggest arriving about a half hour beforehand because you have to go through security, sign in, and go through paperwork before actually suiting up. Wear layers if it is cold, as it gets much colder when you are on the Edge Walk. As scary as it is being 1000+ ft in the air with nothing but a bungee cord, the staff makes you feel safe the entire time. When we were getting into our gear, the staff checked, double checked, and even triple checked our harnesses. Not only did one person do this, but 3 people checked our harnesses to make sure everything was correct. We also removed all jewelry, hair pins, etc., except for a single hair tie (don't worry. All your stuff is stored in lockers). Being up walking higher than everyone in the city is amazing. Our guide was more than knowledgeable about the city and answered all our questions. With all the "stunts" we did, our guide was very encouraging and only let us if we felt comfortable and safe. With the amount of checking they did, who wouldn't feel safe! With these stunts, we were able to take pictures to show off to our friends/family later. After spending about a half an hour up there, we had come full circle and went back inside. We received a complimentary group photo and free picture after our walk. However, there is a USB you could purchase for around $25 with all the pictures inside. If you just want a select few, though, it is $5 CAD/picture. If you are thinking about doing this, just do it. This is an experience that will last you a lifetime. Don't wonder if it is worth it: IT IS! read more

I first learned about the CN Tower's new attraction, EDGE WALK, on Rick Mercer's show last year and it immediately peaked my interest. Myself & 3 friends had the opportunity of trying it back in October , and, we're all happy we went through with it. From the moment we arrived to the moment we completed the walk, everything was organized very well and the EDGE WALK team were very friendly. We arrived about 30 minutes in advance of our walk, and received our "jump suits" and safety training. Once you've had your training, you take the elevator to the top of the CN TOWER (along with the EDGE WALK instructor). At the top, everyone is snapped into a harness, which is attached to a railing that goes along the entire outside platform of the Tower, and then lead outside onto the platform. I wasn't that nervous leading up to the walk, HOWEVER, that all changed once the sliding door opened and I was standing outside, on the edge of the CN TOWER, overlooking Toronto!!!!!! (It's unbelievable how quiet and calm it was up there; No sirens, no cars honking their horns, nothing!! It was glorious!) While you're up there, you walk around the edge, and, throughout the walk, the instructor will try to get you to try leaning over the edge- frontwards, AND backwards. It sounds terrifying, but, you have to try it at least once, or you'll regret it! All in all, it was a great experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone that is visiting Toronto, or lives in Toronto, seeking something different to try. If you're an extreme sports enthusiast (IE. sky-diving/bungee jumping/free-falling off of high buildings, etc.) it may not give you the same rush, BUT, i still think you'll enjoy it! If anyone ever says "The CN TOWER is boring.", tell them to try the EDGE WALK, their opinion will likely change! Tips/Advice - 1) It costs about $200/per person. Sounds expensive, but, trust me, it's a lot of fun and worth every penny! Plus you get a pic to remember the experience. 2) The whole process takes about 70 minutes (from the moment you arrive, check in, get your jumpsuit, etc.). The actual walk is about 20-25 minutes. 3) It can get very windy/cool up on the top, so make sure dress properly (they provide you with gloves/hats if you need it). 4) Keep in mind, only 6 people can go up at once. 5) Go in the late season, OR "non-peak hours" to avoid crowds. It's only been open for about a year, and I'm sure it will get busier as word spreads. read more

In summary: A neat experience. I like interesting, thrilling activities so when I found out this was opening in time for my Toronto trip I booked it immediately. The booking process was smooth however it is very unforgiving in terms of once you book the names cannot be changed and you pay up front - so you have to be sure. When we arrived it was a little disorganized but we made it to the "staging area" as I call it. Basically they play you a safety video and do a breathalyzer test (to ensure you aren't under the influence of alcohol). It is at this point that they let us know that you are NOT allowed any accessories including bobbypins, any hairclips, earings, necklaces, bracelets, anklets etc. I found this annoying as I have short, side-sweeping bangs that need a bobbypin or hair clip to hold back. Had I been made aware of this prior to arriving, I could have braided them back and had an elastic to do so but I was not prepared. So they tell you this after it is too late to be prepared and don't give you any time to fix it (I was still trying to braid when then shuffled us along). Next is gearing up in bright red jumpsuits and yellow harnesses. After everyone was ready, we met our guide and were taken up the CN Tower in an elevator. Once at the top we met another staff member who helped link us to the contraption keeping us safe - one rope attached to the front and a second one to our back. The carabineers were double locked closed and were zip tied shut (presumably for safety however it made me think of someone who may want to jump and I just don't think that could ever happen). Then we were off. Out on the platform was a bit of a disappointment. It was probably 1.5 meters wide - I could have lied down and rolled around and still felt safe. If you are looking for a thrill I don't think you will find it here. We were allowed to walk along the edge of the platform and lean out both forward and backwards. I think we were on the edge for about half an hour and the best part was the sights. It was a clear day and we could see a lot. That is the part I enjoyed the most, especially with it being my first time in Toronto. At the end you do get a group photo, certificate and the DVD of the experience. Overall I am happy that I did this - I found it on the expensive side for the value and not thrilling but a neat experience. read more

So make sure u are arriving on time and it only takes about 30 min for the edge walk experience. If u are not wearing a running shoes with shoe lace, they will provide you one. They will get u suit up and put on your harness, my harness was a bit too tight. The instructor was very encouraging and always asked us how we felt. They always tried to do some small talk when they are trying to put and test your harness. It is perfectly safe and don't worry u will not fall. There are 2 safety rope and an annoying 'seat beat' hanging behind your back! My husband bought it for $130 each ticket last year for my bday and i believe it cost $195 this year . It also include access to skydome . It was quite busy today because blue jays game has just ended. Oh yeah, we heard the horn that blue jays won and we were cheering them from all the way 356 metres up. It was a beautiful view and nice weather for edge walk. They allow u to wear your sunglasses but they will put a landyard on the back so it won't fall. If u are afraid of heights , u will be able to overcome your fear after this. read more

This was very exciting. The staff was extremely safety conscience, let you know what was going to happen next, and were very knowledgeable about the surrounding area. I would recommend this to any adrenaline junkie! read more
