While this seemed very pricey, in retrospect, it was well worth it for the memories.
For one adult and a child, it was $108 CDN. One drawback is the cost of the tickets to the Skypod. The next time we come to Toronto, I will almost definitely make reservations at the 360 degree rotating restaurant as it promises to be an unforgettable experience. That said, you can actually see how much the Tower is swaying by looking at a "plumb -bob" that hangs down in the Skypod and shows the building's movements in the wind (not more than 4 or 5 cms when we visited). So, a word of warning, the Skypod is not for the "faint of heart". It was quite windy during our visit so, at the Skypod level, you could actually feel the slight movement of the CN Tower. (Worth noting is that she was perfectly bilingual.) Our guide who took us up to the Skypod (Zaina) was especially welcoming and excited for us. The entire staff and especially the guides seem to understand how exciting this experience can be for first-time visitors. The whole CN Tower experience is one of cool, clean efficiency (even the washroom facilities were modern and spotless). This rating has improved by 2 over the last 12 months. 71 of employees would recommend working at CN Tower to a friend and 69 have a positive outlook for the business. Opt for the SkyPod (447m an extra $15) – though you may not notice much difference to the regular view.I took my youngest son to the "Skypod" to experience the true magic of the CN Tower and we were not disappointed the views were spectacular and unforgettable. CN Tower has an overall rating of 3.9 out of 5, based on over 155 reviews left anonymously by employees. There's the obligatory revolving restaurant (called 360°): it's expensive, but the elevator price is waived for diners. Buying tickets online, or using the CN Tower app, saves 15%. During summer, you can pay an additional $7 for a timed ride to the top…though not back down. Queues for the elevator can be up to two hours long in each direction. The tickets can be used once for up to two days after the Edgewalk.
Participants also get a Tower Experience Ticket which grants access to the LookOut, Glass Floor, and SkyPod levels. Tickets include a keepsake video and printed photos.
Walk along the outside of CN tower's on the Edgewalk © Patricia Burilli Fencz / Shutterstock CN Tower Edgewalkĭaredevils aged 13 and up can do the EdgeWalk ($195), a 20-minute outdoor walk around the unbounded perimeter of the main pod (356m). If you’d prefer to just check it out from the ground, the best street-level vantage point for the tower is at the intersection of McCaul St and Queen St W, due north. It’s worth noting that on a clear day the vista from the top is astounding – a bird's-eye view of the city and lake, the falls in the distance, even helicopters flying below you if it's hazy you won't see a thing. Even if you don't, you're bound to catch a glimpse of the tower at night: the entire structure puts on a brilliant (free) light show year-round. Riding one of the glass elevators up what was once the world's highest freestanding structure (553m) is one of those things you just have to do in Toronto. There are floor-to-ceiling windows, glass floors, and an 'EdgeWalk' for those with the backbone to walk around the perimeter of the main pod, with no fence and no windows, just you, tethered to a track. Three observation levels reveal unforgettable views – even Niagara Falls can be seen on a clear day. Queues can be long and tickets are expensive, but the wait and the cost are worth it. At a height of 553 metres, the communications spire stands over the city like a beacon. Dominating Toronto's skyline, the CN Tower is a marvel. In bad weather the Tower sees much shorter queues, but think twice: not only will you have better pictures on sunny days, theres a risk you wont see anything.
