CN Tower

The once tallest free standing tower still provides great views but they are getting a bit carried away with the price. Try to plan a visit in the summer when the roof of Rogers Center is open. Also, try and plan a sunset visit to watch the lights come on in the city.

Also, I’m not here to write full ‘play by play’ reports on my experience simply to provide short first hand personal impression. As with all comments, reviews, recommendations on the internet, in books or magazines, they are SUBJECTIVE! We all have individual likes and dislikes and it is your responsibility to perform your own ‘due diligence’ and make educated choices. The bottom line… we live on an amazing planet and I’ve been fortunate enough to have explored a large piece of it. My only suggestion would be to get out there and enjoy every bit of it whenever you’re able.

This is an amazing place. We started off going on a simulator ride which was fun - something about cutting down trees. Then we got the lift upto the first observation deck which was very cool!

Before rushing for the floor with the glass tiles on it I would recommend going all the way up to the top so you can appreciate how high up you are!

Then you can come down to the glass floor. I was ever so slightly disappointed about this as for some reason I thought the majority of the floor at that level would be glass but the area of glass floor is quite small however it is definetly big enough when you walk on it. Ironically I found it easier to walk on at night than at day. The scary thing was at day that there was a 3 year old girl just led on the floor looking down - OMG!!

If its the only thing you do you have to go for a meal at the 360 restaurant. You can get up there for free and the price of your meal includes looking at the observation deck. With the British Pound being so strong the food was cheap considering we had a 3 course meal and lovely wine!

Go on a clear day!!! Ive been going to the CN Tower since I was little and each time I go I enjoy it even more, mostly because you have an amazing view from the tower over toronto city. It's a tad expensive but worth it i think, esp. if your taking someone for the first time.
It is the world's tallest building (as far as i'm aware!) there are 4 lookout levels you can go to, but i advise as long as your not scared of heights to go right to the top!

On the first location stop, there is the Glass floor and an outdoor deck...scary and dont worry there is safety wire around!
On the second stop up, there is a cafe and indoor observation deck.
On the third stop, there is a lovely restaurant, with 360 degree view of toronto, plus the restaurant rotates every hour or so i think, but i mean the fear of heights can go after a few glasses of wine lol.
The best floor is the top floor, its about 448m up in the sky pod.

PLUS -there is documentary on how the tower was made, there are attractions in the tower like games etc and a motion theatre ride.

If you go to toronto make sure you go to the CN tower!

You can really only do this once. There are various prices for different sections of the tower, to get the real experience though you have to see all of it and it is really expensive but I would recommend it as one of the places you must see in Toronto and on a clear day the views across toronto are great.

Another way to go up is to have a meal in the restaurant. Dinner is quite expensive, especially if you're on a budget, but lunch is much more reasonable. Eating in the restaurant gives you a free ride up, and a great view while you eat! Otherwise, if you're really on a budget, like I was the last time I was there, the views are still great from the bottom, and it really shows how tall the CN tower really is!
