The Definition of Tall: The CN Tower
What better way to start this blog than with a post about the tallest free-standing land structure in the world, the CN Tower. This amazing work of art looms over the rest of the Toronto skyline, in its humble place on Front Street.
Standing over 1800 feet high, nobody can question its spectacular views from the heart of downtown and people who have been to this landmark can only rave about what they see. In fact, on a clear day, you can see not only Canadian soil but also the United States.
As well, the tremendous glass floor and souvenir shop packed with things will keep the whole family busy for quite a while.
Moreover, the dining is fantastic. If you enjoy fine dining, you will be in for a real treat because not only does the 360 Restaurant offer superb cuisine, it also rotates for the perfect view of everything. This is one memory you simply must have.
On the other hand, for those who want a more casual experience, there is the Horizon's Cafe, which still offers a dazzling view from the indoor observation deck.
If you are considering going to the tower, I recommend that you try to find the nearest subway station as there is a stop directly in front of the CN Tower (Union Station).
Lastly, I recommend that you purchase the Total Tower Experience for around $30.00: This is what I bought and I must say, if I'd missed out on even one of those views I don't know what I would do.
Looking at photos is not enough, you just have to see it for yourself. No wonder 2 million people make a visit to the CN Tower each year.
