CN Tower, Toronto


With the Toronto City Pass we were also able to go to the top of the CN tower.
Built on the former railway lands, it was completed in 1976, becoming the world's tallest free-standing structure and world's tallest structure at the time. It held both records for 34 years until the completion of Burj Khalifa and Canton Tower in 2010. It remains the tallest free-standing structure in the Western Hemisphere, a signature icon of Toronto's skyline, and a symbol of Canada, attracting more than two million international visitors annually.


This light you see shines on the tower at night, and you can see it all though the city.


There is also a glass floor at an elevation of 1,122 ft.


The outside walk is all gated so you don't fall.

  1. Very tall but cool. We were in a similar one, glass floors and all in Auckland New Zeland.
