Tower Toronto

The CN Tower Toronto is the city's most recognized landmark, attraction seen on numerous postcards from Toronto. CN Tower with its 553 m in height is the world's tallest free standing structure. This iconic structure is also one of the first Toronto attractions you will visit.
Visiting CN Tower Toronto
Being
high up, you can see all
of Toronto and
its surrounding. On a clear day you will even see the mist from Niagara
Falls that is over 100 km
away.Just underneath CN Tower Toronto is the Roger Centre, many high raised buildings, Toronto islands on the Lake Ontario, Toronto island airport, Harbourfront...
If you are a baseball fan, than check the game schedule and you can watch it from this unusual place.
There are four separate levels that you can use at CN Tower Toronto. For me, the most interesting one is with a glass-floor room. It took me two visits to encourage myself enough to stand on it, especially after I saw kids happily jumping on it. I was afraid of height before, but the experience I had was well worth it.
Looking
straight down, and knowing that between me and the ground is only a
piece of glass... I was so afraid. I felt my stomach will turn, but...
I was happy, excited... Two
thumbs up for this attraction.The glass floor and outdoor observation deck are at 342 m, indoor observation deck is at 346 m, famous revolving restaurant with constantly changing view is at 351 m and the Sky Pod is at 447m.
If you are brave enough, Sky Pod, the world's highest observation deck available to the public, is something that you have to try. Astonishing view is there for you, almost half a kilometer above the ground!
