    Let the elevator take you to the top of the tallest free standing structure in the world and you'll have a great view of Toronto and Lake Ontario. The CN Tower is 1,469 feet high (447 metres.) There is a glass floor and an outdoor observation deck. You will also have the option of taking the elevator a little higher, to the very top of the tower and get an even better view but you can't go outside. It's also a little more expensive ($18.99 CAN for the lower level, and $23.99 CAN for the higher one.) The Tower is located on Front street, which is in the middle of the entertainment district of Toronto. Union Station is just a 2-minute walk away.

    I live and work close to our very own CN Tower so I have an idea on how many people visit the area everyday. CN Tower is located on Front Street in the heart of Downtown Toronto. It is between Skydome and the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. If you are visiting for the first time, I suggest you purchase a package admission fee wherein you can see everything that the tower has in store for you. The elevator ride will take you to the Sky Pod where you have the chance to appreciate and take pictures of the surrounding Toronto view and Lake Ontario. Proceed to the Lookout Level and Outdoor Observation Deck for a spectacular view. Then here comes the Glass Floor which is the most exciting part of your CN La Tour. Please don't be scared see what we have and how it looks like thousand feet down under. Now you can take a break after having the feel of the view of the CN Tower. To do this, you might want to try our simulator ride, the movie about the tower, and end up in our Marketplace where you have to purchase souvenirs that can be found only in Toronto. Don't miss this icon which is the tallest free-standing structure in the world. This is a landmark. You won't miss it!

    A city the size of Toronto naturally has a long list of "Must Sees". The CN tower would naturally be near the top of that list. It is really worth going up the tower for a spectaculr view of the city. Obviously choose a time when the weather gives you a clear view. My picture is of two tall buildings in the city. Looking carefully, you will see the tower between them. The one picture here is of me. Ironically it is not taken at the tower at all. Its significance is that I am wearing the T-Shirt from when I walked up the tower to help raise money for charity.

    Standing at 553 m tall, CN tower still claims the distinction as the world's tallest free standing structure. It also holds records like World's Longest Metal Staircase and World's Highest Wine Cellar. In 1995, the CN Tower was classified as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World by the American Society of Civil Engineers. The original construction cost of the tower was $63 million dollars, and has become an important transmission tower for the GTA. The original intent of the tower was to let signals soar freely above the mammoth skyscrapers that were built in Toronto in the 60s and 70s. My favourite parts of the CN tower include the Skypod ( the highest observation deck on the CN tower) & the glass floor. The glass floor is really cool experience, for on one hand you know you are safe & on the other hand, you are standing over 70 floors above the ground with nothing but glass to support you. From the skypod, it is actually possible for you to see Niagara falls, though it requires a really clear day. You also enjoy movies & simulator rides at the CN Tower.

    There are tons of things to do in Toronto, but no visit would be complete without an ascent to the top of what is for now, the World's Tallest Free Standing Structure. The Tower is right downtown, easily accessible via public transit, but there's lots of parking available too if you're driving. There are 2 levels you can access via a high speed glass elevator which runs up the outside of the tower. At the top, there's an observation deck, restaurant, and even a glass floor where you can stand a look alllllll the way down to the street. I knew I was safe inside, but I still couldn't stand on it!!

    The CN Tower's claim to fame is that it is the tallest free standing structure in the world. The tower stands a whopping 553m tall (1815 feet) and can be seen from virtually anywhere in the city. It is one of those sights that you just have to visit while in Toronto simply for the fantastic views. However it is expensive at $16.00 for adults. The Lookout Level, 346m high, has a glass floor where you can look down below and think about throwing up. There is also an overpriced restaurants that revolves 360 degrees around the tower. For another $7.00 you can take another elevator up to the Skypod where from 447m you can see for 120 miles on a clear day. To add to all this fun is the fact that the elevators have glass windows to ascend the tower really quickly. All in all a visit is not for the weak hearted. At the base of the tower are a number of tourist attractions such as an IMAX theatre and flight simulators but I personally I think this is where you run into tourist trap country.

    The CN Tower has recently been recognised as one of the 7 wonders of the modern world. It is the tallest free standing structure in the world, with the highest observation deck, the pod.

    Yes, there's about a million tips on the CN tower, but I couldn't resist. With this tower being the world's tallest free-standing structure, it's impossible to miss. I live in Seattle, and this tower puts the Space Needle completely to shame. Ascent the 553 m (1,815 ft) structure to the observation decks, and if you're afraid of heights you'll be sure to be trembling in fright. I once went up with someone who was deadly afraid of heights, and they started hyperventilating and soon wet their pants. One of my favorite things about the observation decks is that there is a glass floor in which you can stand on or lay down upon. I did such that and prayed to God that there wasn't some devastating earthquake right at that moment that would cause me to go plummeting thru, splatting to my death. I saw a Bluejays game going on in a stadium directly below the tower, so I figured if anything I would love to splat into the stadium. Who doesn't love an impressive entrance?

    Well, it is a pricey proposition, but if you do as I did and make an evening out of it, you can take your drinking money and spend it on a trip up the CN Tower and become inebriated by the wonderful views! We planned our visit to coincide with sunset. We got there just in time and had wonderful views from the Skypod at 1136 feet which is 114 storeys! We also visited the glass floor and outdoor lookout at 113 storeys high. The ride up to this level cost $18.99. You can also travel up higher to the Sky Pod at 147 storeys high, for an extra $8. We ate an excellent dinner at the Horizons Cafe and enjoyed a view of Toronto at night. My chicken entree cost $29 Prime rib will set you back $39 A GLASS of wine is $18 A Glass of water is free The view....priceless!

    And this is the view from the CN tower. I actually wouldn't mind going up there again as I know the city so much better now. This picture was taken during my first visit to Canada in 1997 and I didn't know anything about Toronto at that time, hahaha, except that I had to go up the CN tower of course ;-)
