LookoutCN TowerReviews

[jaygami1986, 14/08/2009] So this next review is about my experience in the CN tower, when I visited Toronto Canada. I had visited a number of big attraction sights in Toronto, but this was one of the one's that a enjoyed extremely. It was fun, exciting, bold and out of this world, it was a plus that I wasn't afraid of heights, so for anyone who does suffer from vertigo, it might be a challenge to visit this place. I had been to Toronto once before, however I was only 8 and thus didn't have the chance to visit the CNN tower only views it from outside. I promised myself that I would come back one day to visit this attra [more]

[yummy_mummyx, 29/01/2009] Despite my fear of heights, I wouldnt have missed the opportunity to go up the CN Tower. The Canadian National Tower in Toronto is still the worlds tallest building standing an impressive 553m high and has the worlds largest revolving restaurant inside although we didnt fancy the idea of eating as we spun round and round! I exaggerate just slightly as it takes 72 minutes for the restaurant to revolves all the way around once. Tickets were fairly pricey and depend on which parts of the tower you want to access, further up, more expensive. The main viewing deck was high enough for us so we [more]

[TheDaz, 05/11/2008] 'Attention! If anyone is more than a little bit scared of heights - please move along, there's nothing but knuckle-stiffening, mind-melting fear to be had here.' That, I believe, is what the signs on the front of the CN Tower lifts should say. Glass floored and walled I ask you - are they trying to find uses for their defibrillators?! The Tower, at various points since it's construction in 1976, the World's Tallest building, World's Tallest Free Standing Structure, and now World's Tallest Tower (ask Guinness World Records, it's very confusing) - stands a whopping 553.33m high, on the sho [more]

[toombsey, 10/02/2008] When you visit the CN Tower you can purchase several ticket types which take into account the different levels available on the tower as well as some additional entertainment. You ned to be aware of what each has to offer in order to choose the best ticket for yourself. The main observation deck is called The Lookout and this is where the best views are. There is also the Glass Floor which as its name suggests is a glass floor you can stand on to look down to the ground. The highest level is the Skypod, although this is not necessarily as good as the Lookout level. Additional attractions i [more]

[hugoburge, 11/01/2008] I was reluctant to go do the CN Tower but whilst in Toronto... and I was not disappointed. In fact I would recommend it as one of my most memorable experiences in Toronto. There is nothing like a view to give you a flavour of what a city is all about. The ticket was suprisingly pricey and that was partially because I opted to go to the very top. It is a dilema but my advice would be this, if you are on a tight budget then shove going to the top, not worth it. However, it is fun and worth doing if you have time and the dosh - the very top viewing platform is open air with a cage around yo [more]

[tartlette, 06/06/2007] If you asked most people to name an attraction in Toronto then the CN Tower would probably come top of the list. It is an icon of the city and a massive tourist attraction. So is it worth all the hype? HISTORY: The CN Tower or Canadian National Tower is described as the 'Canadian Wonder of the World' and with good reason. The Tower was built in 1976 by Canadian National and was originally designed to be used for transmitting TV and radio signals. It was never intended to be a tourist attraction but what did they really expect? It is still used for its intended purpose but is also now a h [more]

[borntofly, 07/03/2007] If you are lucky enough to visit Toronto then you must go to CN Tower. CN Tower is not just an icon but it plays a very important part as a telecommunications hub of Toronto. It stands tall at 553.33m and by no surprise hoards of tourists choose to visit the tower every year, around 2 million tourists to be precise. The tower was built in 1976 by Canadian National, thus the name CN. It was made with the intention that it would be the worlds tallest tower. CN Tower is situated at the heart of the entertainment disrict and is very easily accessible by the tube and by car, which is how we got th [more]

[bwanamdevu, 27/08/2005] Be prepared for a very long wait in the queue when you take your trip up the CN Tower for it is visited by about 2 million people a year!. This is an absolute "must-see" experience and one not to be missed, if you ever get to Toronto. The size of the tower is staggering, far higher than the Eiffel Tower and it is quite a daunting sight from the outside. It is 553 metres tall, making it the worlds highest building. It was completed in 1976 and built by the Canadian National company hence its name of the CN Tower. Once you have paid the fare and endured the long, long wait in the well-orga [more]
