About CN Tower

The CN Tower is one of Toronto’s defining landmarks and a must-visit destination for first-time visitors, families, couples and anyone looking to experience the city from above. Rising high over downtown Toronto, the Tower combines panoramic views, observation levels, interactive experiences, dining and some of the city’s most memorable photo opportunities.

Visitors can explore the Main Observation Level and Lower Observation Level, step onto the famous Glass Floor, enjoy the Outdoor Terrace or upgrade their visit with access to The Top. For thrill seekers, EdgeWalk takes the experience outside the Tower for a hands-free walk high above the streets of Toronto.

The CN Tower is also home to 360 The Restaurant, where guests can enjoy Canadian-inspired dining with changing panoramic views of Toronto. Its downtown location beside Rogers Centre and Ripley’s Aquarium also makes the Tower easy to combine with concerts, sporting events, family attractions, restaurants and other things to do in downtown Toronto.

Why Visit

Visit the CN Tower for one of the most recognizable Toronto experiences and some of the best panoramic views of the city and Lake Ontario. It’s an attraction that works for several types of visitors at once—sightseers can enjoy the observation levels, couples can turn it into a memorable date, families can explore the Glass Floor and interactive experiences, food lovers can dine at 360 Restaurant, and adventurous visitors can take on EdgeWalk.

04

What Makes It Special

At 553.33 metres tall, the CN Tower is one of Toronto’s most recognizable landmarks and the tallest freestanding structure in the Western Hemisphere. What makes the visit especially memorable is the variety of ways to experience the height—from observation levels and the Glass Floor to The Top, 360 Restaurant and the adrenaline-filled EdgeWalk experience.

05

Know Before You Go

Good to Know

CN Tower admission is timed, so booking ahead is recommended, particularly during weekends, holidays and Toronto’s busy summer season. Plan approximately two hours for a typical Tower visit. Guests should travel light because bags are inspected before entry, large luggage is not permitted and there are no lockers on site.

Talk of Toronto Tip

For the best overall experience, book your visit shortly before sunset. You’ll get daylight views of Toronto and Lake Ontario, watch the skyline change during golden hour, and stay long enough to see the city illuminated at night. If you’re planning a date night, consider pairing the visit with dinner at 360 Restaurant or another nearby downtown restaurant.

06

Accessibility

The CN Tower provides accessible elevators, accessible observation areas and accessible washrooms. Courtesy wheelchairs may be available on a first-come, first-served basis. The first level of The Top is accessible, while access to its second level requires 12 stairs. Guests requiring specific accommodations should review the CN Tower's current accessibility information before visiting.
