CN Tower in Toronto, Canada
A Must See Visit of the World’s Tallest Free-Standing Structure
There's more to explore at Toronto's CN Tower than one big building. Imagine gut-churning heights, roller coaster rides and a nightly light show all year long.
Discover how it feels to walk on the clouds at Toronto’s CN Tower. Six express glass-fronted elevators zip to the top of this impressive 553.33m (1,815 feet) tall structure in a mere 58 seconds - barely enough time to catch a breath.
Watch as the city shrinks below and skyscrapers that share Toronto’s skyline become pinpoints on the city grid, dwarfed by the world’s tallest free-standing structure. Prepare for the eeriest feeling ever - walking on the glass floor with nothing separating the sky and the city below.
CN Tower Attractions and Events
Once the rush wears off, stay and enjoy more attractions at the CN Tower. Play all night in the newly expanded entertainment area at the Edge Arcade, on motion simulator rides, or take a cross country sightseeing tour at the Images of Canadian film.
Test your guts again at the CN Tower roller coaster or casually watch as simulated dinosaurs stroll nearby. For a complete 360 degree event, grab a bite at the restaurant at the top of the world. Enjoy food and the city view as the restaurant completes a rotation every 72 minutes.
If feeling extra adventurous, join the thousands of brave runners each year as they shred their thigh muscles climbing the stairs to the top of the CN Tower to raise money for the World Wildlife Foundation. To join as a team or an individual visit WWF-Canada to register.
Stay near after dark for the light show. Since Canada Day 2007, the CN Tower glows after sunset. The newly installed lights produce millions of color variations and the tower lights often reflect the mood of the city or national events. Expect to see red and white lights on Canada Day, green on St. Patrick’s Day and the full rainbow during Toronto’s famous Pride celebrations.
