 | |  |  | CN Tower: Great view, not so good for pictures | Tip Rating:   |  |  | |  |
There are already several tips on the CN Tower, so I will keep it short. It is the world's tallest free standing structure and it is quite impressive. I would suggest going an hour or so before sunset (don't forget to take into account the time you have to wait for the ticket) so you can enjoy the view night and day. We got there just as the sun was setting and could still see the orange clouds. However, if you intend to take pictures, they are not going to come out great as there are safety nets/fences on the observation deck. You can take them from the inside, but with the thick (and dirty) glass they will not look perfect. At night it is even more difficult as there is a lot of light inside. So you should really go for the view. Of course, there is the famous glass floor, which was not as impressive as I though it would be, maybe because it was starting to get dark or perhaps just because I was expecting more of it. I was told that the Sky Pod is not worth the extra money (and waiting time) so we didn't go all the way up. Obviously, try to go on a clear day. Being up there with bad visibility will surely make it a less enjoyable experience. If possible, get the ticket at your Hotel, they will usually also give you a discount.

| | | | CN Tower: The CN Tower--high in the sky! | Tip Rating: | | | | |
The CN Tower was located within walking distance from our hotel, the Renaissance. After purchasing tickets at the base of the tower and then going through a security check we shot to the top of the tower in an elevator with glass walls. The view of Toronto was spectacular! Once at the top, we joined the throngs of people waiting to take in the panorama of the city and areas beyond. CN Tower is 1,815 feet high and was designed by architect, John Andrews in 1976. In one area, a glass floor was a popular feature and permitted a view to the street level from atop the tower. Although my husband and grandson happily took advantage of this sight, I edged as far away from it as possible, feeling a bit squeamish. The ride down took a while because we had to join a slowly moving line at the elevators. It was very hot and uncomfortable at this point, but we survived. A large gift shop and places to eat await visitors at the lower level while above the city the 360 Restaurant serves lunch and dinner from Mid-March to December----reservations recommended. Thumbs up for this locale, it was almost a view from the heavens!

| | | | CN Tower: CN Tower, the world's tallest | Tip Rating: | | | | |
At 553m, it has been the world's tallest structure since it was buit in 1976. On a clear day, you can even see the Niagara Falls from the observation deck! If you're not afraid of the high height, stand or jump on the huge glass bottom floor on the deck. It can actually hold the weights of 14 hippos! If you like fine dining with a view, 360, the revolving restaurant inside the Tower, is definitely the top choice. And if you're walking downtown and doesn't know your bearing, see if you can locate the CN Tower, the direction towards the Tower is south. It is a little expensive to go up though.

| | | | CN Tower: The Eiffel Tower of North America! | Tip Rating: | | | | |
If you're in Toronto, have some time, and it's a beautiful day, you really should visit this most memorable landmark. I'm pretty sure it would be worth the visit even if not a beautiful day, but I hope that you are as fortunate as I in having a clear, sunny day to enjoy the views afforded you here! I have a 360 degree view from the CN Tower in a travelogue on this page, so I won't try to duplicate the pictures here. But, I really enjoyed this place and must say that it was one of the highlights of my Toronto visit! There are many interactive displays and movies that tell you of the building and history of the CN Tower. To me, I was most interested in the view which was dramatic in every direction. There are a couple of options and levels for you to choose. The first and largest is the Lookout Level and you are whisked upward in an elevator moving along the exterior of The Tower from all sides at a speed of about 20 mph. It takes less than a minute to reach the Lookout Level height of 1136 feet or nearly 350 meters and all the while you are seeing the sprawling view below you! There are restaurants, movies, a 360 degreee area for viewing inside as well as a level that is on the outside so you can feel the wind and coolness at this height. An interior elevator will take you another 100 meters upward to the Sky Pod. Since you've come this far, I would highly recommend that you ascend to this level as it allows you to look more downward and see all around. The cost varies depending upon which level you choose. There are three costs which I believe to be around $23 (Cdn) for the Lookout Level, $27 for the Sky Pod Level, and one additional $32 charge that allows you access to some interactive displays and the cinema. Even if you are not the commercial tourist type, swallow your pride and visit the CN Tower for a view you will never forget!
