    Our hotel room view looked straight at the CN Tower, so we had to visit! Although the day we did visit it was really foggy, so the top was closed, and we couldnt really see anything - unfortunatley we diddnt get another chance to go, but my main tip would be "VISIT THE CN TOWER ON A CLEAR DAY" However, the glass floor is very scary, and I did manage to stand on it, but dont think I could of had it been a clear day!!!

    CN Tower: Taller Than A Breadbox, That's For Sure!
  • Tip Rating:
  • I don't care what anybody says, but if you're planning on visiting this city, you must make time to go up the CN Tower at least once. I agree,...looking like a giant cement swizzle-stick it may not be the prettiest chunk of architecture in the city, and sure it's a little pricey (about $25 for the complete ride up) and yes, the food's really not all that great in the revolving restaurant, but think of the view! We're talking about the tallest freestanding structure in the world here! Besides, I've heard that if you drool from the observation deck, that magic spittle will apparantly become the equivalent of a 20lb cannonball,...think about that when you spy that little red Miata way down there below you. :o) I've said it before and I'll say it again: It's the tallest freestanding structure in the world, so give it a peek, ja?

    CN Tower: The World's Highest Lightning Rod
  • Tip Rating:
  • CN Tower is of course the highest lightning rod. They say, lightning strikes CN Tower average of 75 times a year. Would you eat a dinner with your lover at the top on a rainy day??? :)))) Well, it could be romantic though, somewhat noisy but still...:))

    The CN tower is the worlds tallest free standing building measuring 147 stories high. It was completed in 1976 and offers a fabulous view of the City. A few things to do after you take the 53 second elevator trip to the observation deck is check out some of the building's history and enjoy a fine lunch at the restaurant. Here's a tip, if you purchase an entrée at the restaurant, your ticket to the observation deck is free. A great way to save money if you plan to eat there as well. Additionally, there is a 2 1/2" thick glass floor that you can walk across and look down to the 113 stories below. The glass can withstand 60,000 squirrels or 14 hippos as told by one of the attendants. A fabulous landmark but is nothing more than a great view.

  • Completed in 1975, CN Tower is the world's tallest freestanding tower. It reminded me a little of the space needle but it is much more amazing. Inside the tower there are elevators that shoot you to the top. Once at the top, the view is breathtaking. It is almost like you are in an airplane. There is also a portion of the floor that is glass so you can see straight down. It is pretty scary.

    CN Tower: Go up the CN TOWER
  • Tip Rating:
  • The world's tallest free-standing structure at 1,815 ft., 5 inches. There's a great view on a clear day across the Toronto Islands and of the city. Stand on the glass floor with a view way, way, way down! I still can't do it! The ride up is on a glass fronted elevator. The cheapest way to go is around $20 which will take you up to the observation deck and the skypod which is the highest you can go up. The Tower was built in 1976 and I remember vividly my first visit was I was a child, the glass fronted elevator scared the crap out of me! lol! If you're afraid of heights stay at the back of the elevator and don't look ;-) Feel like eating at this height? There's the 360 Restaurant up there which rotates giving diners a full view of the surrounding landscape. There's also Horizon's Cafe, I can totally recommend the strawberry waffe, which, though pricey, is worth every penny. It's a cheaper way to eat and still have a great view though it doesn't rotate like 360 does. There's also Marketplace Cafe but I'm not exactly sure where it is located.

    Lot of VT members have recmmended CN Tower as a must see activity. Before the visit, we had categorized the place as over-hyped tourist trap. However, after the visit we changed our opinion. Yes, it is a must visit. If you miss watching Toronto from Sky Pod, you miss everything. No, we did not have courage to walk on the Glass Floor. Yes, we went up to the Sky Pod, but stuck to the wall. The area nearby has many other attractions. Rogers Centre is the home of Toronto Blue Jays and Argonauts. Air Canada Centre down the street is home of Toronto Maple Leafs and Raptors.
